Wouldn't surprise me,and yet throngs of people will still be dumping on him.

Put some money on it if you feel so confident. I doubt the bookies have lines for ''not being surprised'' by something, though.

Nothing new.

There's a serious lack of game comprehension.

Are you ready to bet 1k CAD?

Let's do it.

No doubt.PD takes the opposing center out of the game for the most part leaving the wings to take over,not what you want for the play-making center.

For sure. And with good reason. There will be countless games where Danault does not dazzle with dangles, and even more shifts when his wingers don't score.

Even Phil's now-famous waltz through the entire Jets team has been tainted with the news that Byfuglien is considering retirement and was probably in decline on that shift.

60 points for Danault ? No chance.

 

[DangerDave]

Lol this is getting spicy. Make sure you screenshot this haha.

He sure didnt take out Barkov yesterday. In fact, some would say Barkov made him his bitch.

I wonder if anyone can fish the numbers on his matchups last year. Willing to bet he lost most of his matchups against the other team 1Cs.

Phillip Danault - Opposition - On Ice - Natural Stat Trick

Appears to have held even for the most part. Notable losses vs Barkov tho

Not too convenient to evaluate. The only actual way to know wouldve been to have watched a huge bulk of games.

Maybe one day Ill go back and look at every GDT for mentions of Danault sucking.

Could be really long.

 

[ahmedou]

Fully expect the Danault line to "En manger une tabarnac!"

You and your fixation Organize the parade when he'll be out of town. Let a camera filming yourself to expose us how you react when you're seeing him.

Tonight's a big night for him to start making his first impression for the Selke nomination.

He'll be up against Tavares- Marner or Matthews-Nylander all night.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Is there a better bang for buck center in the NHL? Danault is very underrated and he just keeps getting better. I think he is just starting his prime years too. Age 26 and going to turn 27 in Feb.

Perfect 2C/3C type center if you ask me.

Great game the other night. Does look like he's getting better and better. Is he a #2C on a contender? Hard to say. I'm still leaning towards NO but man is he doing a helluva impersonation of one. As much as he's improved I still say to this day he didn't merely mooch off Patches and Rads that one year. He'd make simple but effective plays. His board work is/was great.

Helluva player. The evaluation of him will forever be tinged by our loathsome GM absolutely thieving him from Bowman along with a 2nd rounder for two players who aren't even in the league anymore. God this board is way too politicized. I just really don't know if he's made a trade as bad as people seem to charge him with. And the good ones have been pretty damn good.

 

[S Bah]

Just poking the bear(imagine Bruins) here, imagine Drouin lining up with Danault at center and Lafreniere setting them up all night long, or vice versa Drouin setting them up all night or whenever necessary. Drinks are going down smoothly tonight, dreams of Habs dynasties are tugging at my sleeves as I type.LOL Could be Caufield (RW) with Drouin(LW) & Lafreniere(?) changing positions on the fly as it was in the 70's. Lafleur(?) + Shutt(LW) + Lemaire(LW/C). Settled down a bit thinking That Domi(C) between Drouin(LW) + Caufield(RW) could be just the right ingredients to captivate our fans as they now seem to be with the Leafs team. It's not always the team with the scorers that win, Habs always played the 200 ft. game which is why they won, sure scoring helped but without playing the 200 ft, game the other team would have scored just as many if not more. Oh and Lafleur played with Gainey quite often and this thoroughly confused the opponents, but all Habs players learned to play both ways, that was known by Habs fans. Scotty was a hard task master and Lafleur loved winning, as did all of Us Habs/fans. Hard work and teamwork won those 24 titles not scoring by one line.

Danault and Tatar have been the worst forwards by far after the first few games this season.

He needs to get his shit together.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

The Danault line spent the majority of last pre-season together, however spent a lot of this pre-season separated. Considering how good they were together last year I am sure they will bounce back soon enough and regain their chemistry.

They werent actually this good, especially towards the end of the year. They feasted on poor competition, like the rest of the team, early in the season.

Suzuki was way way way worse.

 

[eklund the clown]

Yep if Suzuki doesn't get going soon he is going to Laval . It looks like Clod has him more worried about playing defense than showing his skills as an offensive threat . Afraid to make a mistake.
