BUENO

He has the look of a stone cold killer there

 

[Row]

hahah, is gainey still with the stars? seems like an inside job to get anything let alone ryder and a pick

 

[MacAttack]

It's going to suck seeing Ryder play against the Bruins. You know he will be more focused during those games and come back to haunt us.

Ryder would be great on the third line with Kelly and Peverley. Too bad the Bruins couldn't trade for him.

 

[Red_Man]

Any draft pick with Timmins is amazing news. Emelin, Weber, White and Plekanec all came from the 3rd round.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Yes, apparently he works as a consultant to the team (at least according to Wiki).

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Welp here goes nothing. Vokun too? lol we're screwed.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Wonder how many goals Vanek will get tonight. He always kills us.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Look at those kids starting.
Huby-Shore-Mueller
Guddy-Kulikov

Dats our future!

 

[Fei]

LOL.

 

[CrankyJay]

LOL Sabres

 

[ZeroGravity]

STAMKOS!!

Finally we get a good start.

 

[CrankyJay]

The Sabres held off Stamkos for an entire minute and a half

 

[Red_Man]

Good point made on twitter, Bergevin could be doing this in preparation to make a big push for Perry if he hits UFA, sorry Heretic / Dastardly

 

[Sanjuro]

WTF! Thomas isn't starting for the Isles!?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Good shit did we call up Timmins from a logging site? DAT beard.

 

[MetatronM]

Even the buzzer at the end of the period sounded bored.

 

[Solo]

WE TRADED COLE FOR RYDER???????


YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[zedge]

Flames vs Wild.....again. Sigh

Hide your kids, hide your wives.

 

[Sanjuro]

I think there might be more Bruins fans in Coliseum tonight. Brooklyn can't come soon enough.

 

[CrankyJay]

Myers is looking like an incredibly bad contract for Buffalo now. Yeesh.

 

[Smiley90]

Dallas, what are you doing, Dallas, stahp it

 

[Solo]

Michel Therrien, Francois Boullion and Michel Ryder

Who's the next former hab to return?

Written in the stars............

...... a million miles away.....

 

[ActStriker]

McQuaid!

 

[Sanjuro]

Finally. Took forever.

 

[Razorskin]

What a great trade Bergevin, I hope Cole continues his slump.


I think the Habs now have 6 picks in the first 3 rounds of this draft. Hopefully they hang on to them.

 

[Row]

habs will have close to 20mil in cap space next season, someone is getting paid

 

[Sanjuro]

Michel Therrien, Francois Boullion and Michel Ryder

Who's the next former hab to return?

Hopefully Hal Gill.

 

[Fei]

At this point I think I'm just going to root for Conacher.

Edit: And they score, hah.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

consarn it, cant watch on gamecenter bc of NBC Sports network.

THE GREAT DOLLA DOLLA BILLS Y'ALL DANE!

 

[CrankyJay]

Holy crap, the Sabres scored!

 

[ZeroGravity]

This team makes the stupidest defensive plays you'll ever see.

 

[Razorskin]

I think Derharnais is the only one that needs to be resigned next season that will get a raise.

 

[Solo]

Seriously though, Bergevin is a fucking pimp.

- Gets Price locked up long term
- Drafts Gally (okay that was Timmins, whatever, it goes under Bergevin's tenure)
- Hammers Subban into submission
- Fleeces Dallas to get fan favorite Michael Ryder back where he belongs plus a good draft pick

 

[Curufinwe]

Gagne brings that cup-winning pedigree that Philly needs...sigh

Put him on the PP over Couturier whose offensive form is gone. The second unit came out after the 2nd goal last night and were terrible.

 

[Red_Man]

Eller, Emelin, Diaz, and Subban all have new contracts coming up in the next year or two and like I mentioned, Bergevin will probably make a run at a top UFA. He just keeps on rolling.

I think Derharnais is the only one that needs to be resigned next season that will get a raise.

Forgot about him. His play will help Bergevin in his negotiations though, he still needs to move a center at some point. Honestly wouldn't surprise me if it's Plekanec, he's said before he's focusing on a young team going forward and Gally / Eller will make a great 1/2.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Wait... Wasn't Cole, like... good last year?

 

[Solo]

BTW, you wanna talk instant chemistry? Plug Ryder in to Plekanec's line - they played together for 4 seasons previously. Fucking smart trade.

EDIT: Dastardly, he was great last year. But this year? Dogshit. He looks old, slow, doesn't drive the net like he used too, can't score. Just generally useless.

 

[Sanjuro]

Just looked at the realignment...the fuck?

I like bringing Detroit over, but kick out those bum fucking teams in Florida and bring Philly and NY Rangers into the Central. It'll be like a private party as we mock the filthy poors from the other divisions and the Maple Leafs.

Florida would get absolutely no draw then.

 

[Red_Man]

I want to see Ryder play with Gally personally, I think they would be a great fit for each other. With Bourque out indefinitely, Ryder moves up to 1st or 2nd and Prust down to Gallys line I would imagine.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

KOPECKY!!!!!

 

[Sanjuro]

Florida would get absolutely no draw then.

 

[Solo]

Healthy lineup:

Pacioretty-Desharnais-Gallagher
Bourque-Plekanec-Ryder
Galchenyuk-Eller-Prust
Moen-Nokelainen-White

Sit/trade: Armstrong, Gionta

Is how I'd line them up. Fuck, we need to get rid of Gio. Like Cole, he looks done.

 

[ActStriker]

wtf

 

[Solo]

BTW: Habs/Bruins on Sunday in Boston with Ryder in the line-up. Yummy.

 

[Montresor]

Callahan with a beastly shift!!!

Haha and that effort from Callahan is wasted. Jokinen scores.

Rangers disintegrating. Great snipe by Kane.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

:lol Rangers

 

[Montresor]

Lol Rangers wasted a 3-on-1 and did nothing with it. This game is just bad for NY. Crowd is booing already.
