Carol Alt? Seems kind of random.
About what I expected.
Makes me feel better about cancelling my plans to go to the game on December 10th against the Stars.
I can't wait for Pacioretty to be run out of town by the most passionate and knowledgeable fanbase in hockey.
Lordy.
I should be used to seeing Habs fans do this by now.

It's like Bethesda on twitter blaming customers for the bad Dishonored 2 PC port.
Torts AND Therrien have called him out this year, in addition to large swaths of media. Don't blame them, Don't blame us. For whatever reason, be it age, injury, or lack of giving fucks, Patches is a shell of what he was 4 years ago. Here's a guy who used to skate hard, aggressively forecheck, create space for himself and take pucks down main street. Now? You can't spell perimeter without Pacioretty. Gallagher is having a bad year too, BUT, at least with him the work ethic is there and he's just a bounce (and good linemates) away from turning it around. You don't get any kind of sense like that for Pacioretty. You sense he has no drive, passion, or confidence.
And I don't care what tale Red wants to spin - he will NOT be Captain next season.

I mean, you did just cite a five game sample size and +/- in the same argument.

further proof Montreal won't win a damn thing when their fans are chomping at the bit to run players out of town
Fans of every team in every sport have certain players they want gone. This isn't unique to Habs fans or to the NHL. Every poster in this thread could easily rattle off 5 underperforming or dead weight players on their team they want to see gone.
How many of them are top 5 in their position in the league?
top 5 in what? defensive plays? how many defensive forwards play 19min a game and get icetime on every PP?
GAF squabbles aside, I'd love for anyone else here to read 4-5 Solo posts and tell me if they're impressed with any part of his posts. Hell, tell me if you even understand him (and I'm not even making an idiot pun here)
Forget past seasons/glories - they have no bearing on the present. Does anyone really believe 2016-2017 Pacioretty is a top 5 LW in the NHL?
well while we're talking about it
I checked the takeaway stats everyone just pulled out of some random article to justify Pacioretty's defensive play, turns out Radulov and Torry fucking Mitchell are over Pacioretty in takeaways per 60. The only reason Pacioretty has more takeaways is because he plays more than them
skskskskskskew them stats bayybeeee

Sbisa for Pacioretty. I'm sure Benning will throw in a second too.

He sucks, just like your last captain. Captain Slow/Awful Dirtbag.

Nah fam, it was softer than Prices effort last night.
I will say, he's given me reason not to slag on DD this year, so there's that. Little Davey boy gets a free pass! Plekanec's been bad too, but he's an old man and is done in Montreal after next year.
Markov, on the other hand, is becoming an ageless wonder. Especially impressive when you realize he's old as fuck and lost 2 full seasons to knee surgeries.

We're in trouble once these guys - Mitchell, Byron - dry up and stop producing. Which they obviously will.
don't worry about it, Desharnais corsi is over 50%
50.2 but let's not mention it

Will Pacioretty get Kessel'd out of town?
I could see him going to somewhere this season.
He could fetch a mighty high return.

Do I want it to happen? Yes. Will it? No. I just see him getting stripped of the C in the off-season, and the good news is he's playing himself into another mediocre contract.
But he's likely to remain a Hab for (too) many years to come.

Considering Bergevin has cup aspirations, trading a 30 goal scorer under that good of a contract would be idiotic, but they also traded Subban away so who knows.
:lol

Radulov going to get paid too.
AND THEN PRICE.
AND THEN PRICE.
Probably aren't going to be able to keep all 3. I'm legit curious to see if Price walks in 2018. If he doesn't, he's getting paid like $10M per season.
And I reallllly hope Radu isn't just a mercenary. I'd love to lock him up for 5 more years.

We don't have to trade Pacioretty. All you need to do is just strip him of the C like the Kings did with Dustin Brown and give it to Gallagher or Weber.
I feel better about Galchenyuk's contract these days, Yzerman really did everyone a favor with Kucherov and Stamkos last summer, it might bring the negociation down a bit
Price's 12M will bring an end of the cup window though, that'll be the end of us no matter how much I love him

No idea what we would even give up at this point, Sergachev isn't going anywhere and Bergevin said McCarron is going to be an important part of this team for a long time. 100% need a 2nd line center with how much Pleks has declined over the past year.
lmao

I want Galchenyuk's contract similar to Nathan Mackinnon's
