[Merguson]

Dave Keon finally reconciled with the Leafs under the new regime

He's going to be honoured along with Tim Horton and Turk Broda at the upcoming game vs MTL

he would have been a NHLGAF legend with all the salt he had towards the Leafs

Bergevin having a press conference today, wondering if he doubles down on Therrien.

I grabbed him like 25th overall in the Gaf league lol

A number of habs players arent at practice

Just an fyi

oh it's just a typical day in habsland, some of our veterans think "optional" means "don't ever show up".

Beaulieu , Markov and Jacob De La Rose

Maybe trade for drouin?

Bealieu is dead, De La Rose is apparently sick, and Markov is old as balls

I doubt it, it's probably nothing really

 

[CosmicQueso]

If you had time to visit ONE thing in LA, what would you be? Where would you eat lunch?

Yeah, don't listen to an OC guy about LA. They'll want to send you to some highbrow fancy establishment you need a Range Rover to get to.

Given your timeline, I'd go slightly south to Manhattan Beach. Right where Manhattan Beach Blvd turns into the pier you have a fine selection of divey beach bars, elevated ale houses and some decent restaurants, many with ocean views.

From lowbrow to OC upscale: Shellback, Mama D's, Brewco, The Strand, Rock N Fish. They're all on the corner of Ocean and Manhattan Beach, not too far from LAX.

There's a Mama D's in Manhattan? The same Mama D's from Balboa Peninsula?

Manhattan Beach is good, but it's going to be a madhouse in the pier area there on Super Bowl Sunday. It's also worth noting that you're likely to be domestically abused by a Kings player while you're there.

 

[KingBroly]

Can't say I'm high on the trade for either the Ducks or Blackhawks

 

[Line_HTX]

Interesting trade... What's Sekac like?

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Sekac is better than Drouin, he's played in every game we've asked him to play.

Seriously though, he has decent offensive skills but hasn't really gotten going in the time he was here in Anaheim. Can occasionally make a great pass but his shot is not accurate though he likes to shoot from everywhere. Not too fast but not slow. Not overly physical either.

He has 3 points in 22 games, he had a knee injury earlier in the season. He's an average-decent 3rd/4th liner

Surprised you guys didn't the guy more points (5 in 25 games) in Dave Bolland.

Man they lose RNH and Ference? And still no McDavid?

Markov needs rest, Beaulieu will probably be out a few games.

Need moar trades.

New regime tho, so there is no urgency .

Pete Chiarelli didn't draft no Yak!

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Now Confirmed.

@NYRangers
OFFICIAL: #NYR have agreed to terms with free agent forward Daniel Paille.

 

[lamaroo]

Bergevin having a press conference today, wondering if he doubles down on Therrien.

He's going to say Therrien isn't going anywhere this season, and I'll stop watching games.

Spoiler

until they start winning again of course

 

[MultiJhonny]

Fuck.. Coots is out tonight

 

[MetatronM]

Now Confirmed.

Dismayingly, they've assigned him an actual number with the big team (#12).

 

[Coldnoodle]

Escrow rising.

Rick Westhead ‏@rwesthead 5h5 hours ago
As price of oil continues tumble, dragging CDN $ with it, one NHL player agent predicts escrow will be raised to 22% next week, up from 16%.

Rick WestheadVerified account
‏@rwesthead
Escrow of 22% means an NHL player making $5M loses $1.1M off top. After taxes, agent fees, take-home of about $1.9M.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Escrow rising.

The Economy is a mess right now.

 

[CosmicQueso]

There's a Mama D's in Manhattan? The same Mama D's from Balboa Peninsula?

Believe so. Cheap red wine for all!

Manhattan Beach is good, but it's going to be a madhouse in the pier area there on Super Bowl Sunday. It's also worth noting that you're likely to be domestically abused by a Kings player while you're there.

Okay, these are all very good points.

Stay at LAX.

 

[bonesmccoy]

The NHL's deal with Rogers was/is paid in CAD, right?

 

[MetatronM]

Aww shit, Paille is joining the team today and traveling to Raleigh.

We already have Tanner Glass, dammit!

Maybe Yzerman is going to package Drouin in Stammer's sign and trade.

Jhonny, Weal will make his Flyers Debut against the Pens tonight.

#canadiens Marc Bergevin recognizes that the fitness of Carey Price process is slower than expected.

Bergevin on Price: ``It's been slower than we expected.'' Says no real firm date for return but not before 3 weeks or a month...

"I think our fans have questions...all the critiques should be pointed at me. "--Bergevin

#Habs Bergevin: "All the critiques should be directed to me... It's on me, only." Michel Therrien and the players "are not going anywhere."

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 2m2 minutes ago
Bergevin: ``Michel Therrien and his coaching staff _ I believe extremely in them.''

LOLOLLOLOLOL

 

[Clydefrog]

I was going to ask this same thing. Interesting.

Also haha at the Garbutt trade. Ducks becoming thugs.

 

[KingBroly]

.

Price is done for the year, isn't he?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Price is done for the year, isn't he?

Hes coming back in February. There's still time to turn this ship around. We have 30 games left.

"Just wait for the Hart Trophy winner to come back and single handedly win games for them, that should prove to you guys that Therrien is good enough"

Just in time for the Habs to rally only to miss the playoffs by one point to the Burins or Sens.

Please get your shit together so the Habs-Wings playoff series dream can live.

So I guess we're tanking? Good year to do so anyways.

 

[RevoDS]

We're the 21st. "Not before 3 weeks or a month" with the way they've been pushing it back doesn't give me much confidence of seeing him in action in February

 

[KingBroly]

Hes coming back in February. There's still time to turn this ship around. We have 30 games left.

If he's coming back slower than expected, it means it's going to take longer for him to be back to where he was before the injury. At this point you're talking end of February/early March for his initial return.


I also saw the PT odds on twitter. Pretty silly.

 

[Solo]

Fire Bergevin. Fuck this guy. If he wants to die on his sword, I'll be more than happy to give him a push. We're almost a Leafs-level joke at this point.

 

[Yawnier]

No

The leafs NEED to lose saturday night. It's a must lose game.

 

[Curufinwe]

Fuck.. Coots is out tonight

We're screwed.

Just when there was a good chance of Umberger getting scratched, too.

 

[MultiJhonny]

Jhonny, Weal will make his Flyers Debut against the Pens tonight.

Finally!

But I think it's because Coots is out.

He's now a bigger contributor in the sabotage of the Montreal Canadiens than Therrien is for continuing to stand by him.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

In other news, there are no Canadian teams in a playoff spot right now. Like our dollar, our hockey teams are just going down and down and down in the standings.
