Emelin is no longer on the top defence line, so that's good.

But seriously I think Lehkonen should be playing with Gallagher and Galchenyuk

Gallagher is basically a 4th liner, 3rd at best, at this point. It's sad, but he's a shell of his former self. And Byron is a career 3rd/4th liner. I can't see Galchenyuk getting it going with those guys on his wings.

I don't see why our old and new coaches can't see the glaringly obvious solution and do it - keep Pacioretty with Danault and put Radulov with Galchenyuk. Boom. Two lines of offense. I accept cheques and money orders.

 

[yyzjohn]

New line:

Byron-AGally-BGally

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Gallagher for Kindl. Habs get an upgrade on D, Panthers get a former player and shell.

 

[Cake Boss]

@twolinepass: bruce boudreau has never coached a full season without winning the division. don't all look at the standings at once.

Holy shit what a coach.


Ceci for AGally.

They get the puck moving "dman"

*rolls eyes* You are more delusional than Red_Man. Good thing you aren't a GM or a coach.

Is Bask the only other sane Habs fan on this fucking site? Jesus Christ.

WE LOST CREEPER, WE LOST AGAINST THE JEST IT'S OVER

GALLAGHER 4TH LINER
GALCHENYUK BUST
WEBER 2 OLD 4 ME
PRICE DONE

we'll win tomorrow and opinions will turn around, it's fine, sit down marks

 

[Fata1moose]

robodinos though.. too silly. pass for me.

Yeah this is pretty fucking stupid, but I'm usually a fan of games with a bow. Year of the bow was a good year.

Halo Wars 2 is pretty fun, reminds me of Command of Conquer, that is when it's not being a laggy piece of shit. There are quite a few good games out now though, Mass Effect Andromeda is the only thing I'm really looking forward to. Afterwards, my most anticipated projects are mods in Skywind and Skyblivion.

I never seen Creeper so heated on here, only on Twitter when he is bullying. Crazy

Creeper is such a hothead.

TONE IT DOWN.

inb4 creeper spoils John Wick 2 out of pure evil rage

 

[Line_HTX]

It was a good game. Both teams played hard.

Usually Kings fans are okay, it's always one or two bad apples that make things ugly.

Also... how does Kopitar only have 6 goals for the season so far?

For whatever reason he's a fucking fraud with the huge drop-off. Fucking thing sucks.

Also why aren't you fools in 1st place instead of the Sharks?

 

[Solo]

I'm not joking about Gallagher, and this dates back to last year after the first injury. Dude looks like he magically aged 7 years over the course of one. He hasn't been the same player he was before the first broken finger, for whatever reason. He was absolutely dogshit this year before he injured it again.

You know what you get when you have Gallagher, but take away his nose for the net, goalscoring, and going to the dirty areas? Another run of the mill undersized winger. AKA the Montreal Canadiens special. 6 goals in 41 games for him. dat 12 goal pace over a full season.

IM MAD THE RAPTORS DIDNT GET DEMARCUS COUSINS OKAY

 

[imBask]

i'll give Gallagher the rest of the season under another coach before actually complaining

he's been injured and he's not giving the effort he used to give, that might change under a new coach

 

[Line_HTX]

IM MAD THE RAPTORS DIDNT GET DEMARCUS COUSINS OKAY

You want a Technical Foul knucklehead?

 

[Solo]

Gallagher is just one of....almost every single player....who has deserved some serious flack at one point or another this season. For the record. I'm not singling him out. AGally hasn't been the same guy post-injury either. He was never a great defender, but he'd risen to "decent" in his own end, but post-injury he's become "controller unplugged" in his own end. But I think AGally and getting him going are very important to the team, so I'd like to see him with better wingers.

The only forward I couldn't rag on at one point or another this season yet is Radulov. Dude's been untouchable.

That's because he plays with TRUCULENCE.

Holy shit Creeper calm down. It's just a game, no need to go unhinged like that wow.

 

[Yawnier]

Creeper why are you so mad this morning

Edit: Oh I just saw your Demarcus Cousins post.

 

[Line_HTX]

Sitting in 4th place in the East will do that to ya, so I don't really blame Creeper.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Hopefully Bettman will look at how much interest the NBA generates with these moves and propose adding measures to the cap to increase player movement.

Imagine how nice it would be to have a 10-15m luxury tax threshold.

If you're in first place you get hit with the blue shell. Taking our time. Also, we aren't that good. See: our coach. 🤔

You can't separate Patches and Radulov, he's the main reason Patches is on pace for 40 goals again, and aside from their goal that line with AGally was a mess last game.

Absolutely. The cap is crap.

Great, you're a wizard and you solved that part of the problem. How much does that really move the needle? How long does the brief glow of self-satisfaction last?

That's not my job, i'm not the one in charge of doing the market research for the NHL, but you can't tell me that the empty arena in Carolina doesn't hurt the image of the league on top of losing money for everyone

is it the only problem? no. But it's an easy thing to fix when cities like Seattle and Quebec are waiting for a team

Quebec is no gain because they all watch and buy NHL shit anyways. Seattle would have an NHL team yesterday if they had their shit together.

I won't tell you Carolina doesn't hurt but I am saying the hurt is marginal.

 

[Yawnier]

Absolutely. The cap is crap.

The trade deadlines and draft day trades before the cap was put in used to be way more fun and more active (just look at the 01-02 season trades) before the salary cap. But I do think that the 'hard' cap is probably the best for the league though

idk man, I wouldn't say it's marginal but who really knows

as for Quebec City I think you're wrong though, they don't buy NHL products unless they have a reason to, and that reason has to be "to compete with Montreal and look better than them". That's the one and only thing that drives that shit pile of a village, so the Nordiques would definitely boost the sales of everything hockey related in Quebec City temporarily (until they start sucking again and get bored of it)

I've never been one to be embarrassed about eating alone at a restaurant, but I'm craving some AYCE sushi and that's one place I've never eaten alone at.

I feel like I've seen people go at it solo, but I'm feeling a bit self-conscious at the idea.

Which is why I heartily disagree with the search for a center at the deadline. What we really need is a legit top 6 winger.
