Out of Town Thread XXXI

[PaulD]

im watching buffalo right now and god they ****ing suck . How can you draft 15 times in top 10 in 12 years and still suck year after year

Oilers and Leafs could answer that question.

 

[PaulD]

I don't know if it was mentioned. But on Saturday Headlines on HNIC, Chris Johnston said that right now, the Devils are encouraging teams to call them and make offers for Hall. The insider said right now, it's not so much a back-and-forth as it is Shero just taking calls and listening.

He did specify that the Avalanche are the favorites to land him and that they're looking to get this done by the Christmas break, which starts on December 19th for the NHL.

There was an echo then.........Heard Bob Mackenzie tell us all that last week on TSN.

Leafs laying the boots to the Blues. Matthews with 2 goals so I guess he's now good again and doesn't need to go after all.

Leafs 5 goals on 14 shots. Yikes.

Binington let in 4 of the first 10 shots. Then got yanked.

Blues to a man mailed that game in.

 

[PaulD]

-15. 5 pts. He’s a 6th d man now

A walking buy out

 

[PaulD]

Love the guy, miss the guy

but we need LD, its as simple as that. right now all our RD are outplaying Subban, Who is clearly focused on off-the-ice stuff entirely too much right now. He'll be working for CBC/Sportsnet soon enough

not soon enough for the Devils and their fans.

 

[PaulD]

Florida is ahead of us and getting .890 from Bob.

Toronto and Tampa are going to figure it out.

I don't see a logical way this Habs team makes the playoffs and they shouldn't. All those teams, including Buffalo, have more talent than us.

They wont make it.

 

[PaulD]

At least we should acknowledge at times, PK was the best player on the ice for either team when he wore the Habs jersey. And you'd be hard-fought to find a hungrier and more clutch player during the playoffs than Subban.

As a hockey fan first and foremost, I hope he finds his Norris form back.

BS

His last great play off was against the Bruins in 014. He was also great in the 011 series against the Bruins.

014 getting eliminated by the Rangers (Eler and Bourque were the habs best players). LOL Where was this "clutch" Subban .

He was anything but clutch in the finals of 017.

Aves and Jets series of 018... Clutch ? How so?

Against the Stars last year? That got him a plane ticket to Jersey.

Subban "play off beast" A myth his fans seem to think will stick if they say it enough times.

 

[habdynasty]

Galchenyuk on the trade block .

I was a Subban fan - so much so, I travelled to Hamilton to watch him play for the Bulldogs (pre-Habs). His first year - he lived up to the hype. By the time he was traded, I got tired of the Subban Show.

Hey - if he wants to come back to Montreal, he could continue the excellent philanthropy work at Children's Hospital. Barring that, please keep him away from the hockey team.

 

[waffledave]

It surprises me that he is willing to let them be right.

Who says they are? Everything they said about him is still false, he knows that even if they say otherwise.

I did write "when he wore the Habs jersey." And it's ridiculous to bring the 0'14 playoffs vs. the Rangers. Tokarski was our goalkeeper. You think the gameplan stayed the same on defense?

 

[The Great Weal]

All those teams, including Buffalo, have more talent than us.

Buffalo has Eichel and that's it, no clue where the rest of this talent is. Dahlin is great, but he isnt at that superstar level yet.

Eichel looks like the yellow villain from Sin City... A strange but good film.

He reminds me of Marv from Home Alone

Name two players on the Montreal Canadiens roster you would start a franchise with over Eichel or Dahlin.

 

[cphabs]

Tom Green?

 

[The Great Weal]

Name two players on the Montreal Canadiens roster you would start a franchise with over Eichel or Dahlin.

You were taling about this years playoffs. Eichel is the best forward between both teams but I can think of like 4 Habs forwards that are better than their 2nd best forward. Weber is also better than Dahlin at the moment. Also as much as Price sucks this year, he is still far better than Buffalos goalie.

Oof

 

[cphabs]

Ya, they have that Finnish goalie in the system too. Also, if Dahlin or Eichel were on our team? They both would have suffered concussions and one of them would be playing as a 3rd line winger...

Those two players are still more talented than anything we have, so it isn't a misnomer to say Buffalo is a more talented team than us.

Price and Weber are also at the end of their careers.

My point was that his play on the ice always seemed to counter the perception that the off ice activities were a distraction. Obviously since a reporter has seen fit to call him out (which I personally haven't seen before), the play on the ice has deteriorated to the point where he is no longer able to balance the two effectively.

I also am of the mind that we could still use him on our team. I am my own contradiction.

Weal and Cousins duh

 

[cphabs]

Weal and Cousins duh

Drouin?

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Drouin?

he's not a first powerplay wave like Cousins and Weal.

on a serious note , Drouin is not even close to be a player to start a franchise with.
