Montreal's simply not a very talented team. Outside of a few very good players, there's a huge drop off. Their offense is horrendous.
 
Happy 55th Birthday to Wayne Gretzky. It's okay for some Kings fans to admit they became fans in 1988 now just like it will be okay 20 years from now to admit they became Kings fans in 2012.

hey i'm in that boat...my 27 plus years following the team, is perfectly acceptable!

this they have no offensive depth. Really tells a person how far Semin has fallen that he could not make that lineup.
Gallagher and Galchenyuk I think are good young players, but they have a ways to go to develop and have consistency that is needed.
Right now though they have too many meh players

if relying on...
dale weise to be your first or second line winger
Markov to be a #2 Dman
Plekanec/Galy/desharnais to be center depth

...you are not a cup contender

Price amazing
PK good ( call me crazy, i still rank about 7-10 dman ahead of him)

Your....completely sane. PK is vastly overrated. I have him on the same level as a Dustin Byfuglien and Brent Burns. Great players, #1 defensemen for sure, but not on the elite level like a Drew Doughty.

Agree with this.
I think PK is in the 7 range..definitely top 10, but I coudl understand a case where he is higher and lower.
 
Don't forget Ryan Flynn on the top line. And Weise seeing significant PP time. Therrien can't have much time left...

I'm not ashamed to say I became a fan in 88, and knew nothing about hockey before Gretzky. Speaks to the power he had as a draw
 
Nice hearing Pat Foley call a national game (although odd that it's basically the Hawks guys doing the game). I just tuned in and all they've been talking about is the Blackhawks fir the last 5 minutes.

EDIT: NBC is just using the CSN Chicago feed. Way to cheap out NBC. :/

That's why we get the Sharks announcers during the national games. Rumor is Doc,Pierre and Eddie O have it written in their contracts they don't call games west of the Rockies until June.:nod:
 
So many teams checking out early tonight:
Hawks down 5-0
Bruins down 4-1
Habs down 3-1 to Lumbus, oh wait they checked out a month ago.
 
Funny how it's so obvious that the Habs bought in to the Carey Price is our Savior BS and now they can't even function as a team without him. They are not THIS bad but between the ears they've convinced themselves they are incapable of competing without Price.

Foley sounds like a newly castrated cat. Awful voice...

Nice to hear Eddie slightly depressed... I am going to riot if the Kings manage to meet the Blackhawks in the playoffs and Eddie is gonna do the series.
