State of the Habs General Discussion

[The Gr8 Dane]

What happened to your right nut did you lose it when you thought the Habs would actually play Galchenyuk at center considering how bad there center depth is lol

Nah I never lose my nuts if I bet them on something habs related.
Probably the team with the most predictable outcomes when it comes to trades and overall running of the organisation.
Shaw Alzner Weber Drouin lol how dumb can you be to not predict these disasters from miles away

[Gravity]

Assuming Pehling and Kotkaniami hit, and Drouin moves to the wing...does it look like this?

Kotkaniemi
Poehling
Danault
4th?

I prefer

Hughes
Kotka
Poehling
Olofsson/dlr

From sitting on L'Antichambre to coach of the Montreal Canadiens and back to 91.9fm.
It should tell you all you need to know about how this organisation is going.

This was supposed to be a "great coach" according to this GM.

I hope he does well. Well enough to last long enough to see PK come back and win the cup with the Habs

Karma from the hockey Gods

I'd die happy if I could witness this.

Add Lafren in 2020, I believe.

He's a winger

This would likely be Michel's idea of working toward his next NHL coaching gig. Hard to imagine that such a savvy hockey mind hasn't been snapped up by some forward-thinking org by now. On the topic, I don't think any of the other members of the foxhole gang got hired on this summer either, maybe Bergevin is the only guy who thought JJ, Sly, Lacroix et al. were worth hiring.

Sylvain Lefebvre got an assistant coaching gig with another AHL team.

I was browsing the Arizona board, and I learned that their organization has hired a staff psychologist. Has the Habs organization implemented such an obvious idea?

 

[FMichael]

So why can you skate over the logo but not walk on it?

Tragically primitive thinking.

Good point - never thought of it that way.

If I remember correctly - don't some teams have their logo on the ceiling to avoid the hassle of walking around it in the middle of the dressing room?

They'll need to find an ego-driven shrink, or else it's the front office that'll get shrinked.

I think so. Or the wall... It's also my understanding that inside the Bell Centre the logo is on the floor in public areas in a few places. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[sandysan]

He's a winger

from the habs perspective, " not a problem"

They hired a phsychologist the same summer they acquired Chucky? In coming media rumours about how it's about keeping his party lifestyle in check while being able to talk about the verbal abuse from his father.

They've had a consultant named Dr. David Scott for like over 10 years as psychologist.

Unfortunately there's only one team in the NHL that believes the best coaching candidates are found not in hockey arenas but in radio and TV studios.

Apparently Serge Savard was on 91.9 Sports this morning and said that Pacioretty's been told, months ago, that he won't be starting the season with the Habs.

Not that this information is new, we've heard/read this for months, but thought it was noteworthy that Savard essentially fanned the flames on this one.

Savard has been pretty outspoken about his displeasure towards Bergevin's work ever since the Subban trade, which he hated.

If that was said to Pacioretty months ago, then we're at a point of failure. They had a plan and it failed at every turn.

Savard has one guy to blame: himself

Yeah, I know.

They're all to blame; The ownership group for letting Geoff hold the helm, Geoff Molson, Savard, Bergevin and so on.
