GDT: Bruins @ Habs | November 7, 7PM | TVA, SN

[didimentionlarseller]

Hey it's Joseph Theodore, he's actually not bad on TV

how is his hair?

 

[Whitesnake]

Forsberg. Lindholm.

Yeah, whatever....we can discuss this over and over again. He's got the most points then....fine?

Still.....timing is everything. And we surely chose the wrong year to suck....

 

[OpenIceHit]

I wonder if Patches is injured or out of shape or something. The past few years he was one of fastest guys in league, now he's looking pretty ordinary.

Perhaps his new born crying all night so he can't sleep? I don't know. He's been off since the western trip.

 

[ottawa]

I must say, I'm incredibly surprised that 6 games after removing Semin, with Flynn-DSL-Byron-DSP-recycling of 4th liners being placed there instead, has not worked.

I mean, when I saw Flynn get placed there instead of Semin, the first thing that came to mind was ''Wow! Now we've got a 2nd line alright!''

I find that's a recurring problem on this board...just because a player has been great on the 3rd line doesn't mean he's necessarily good. 3rd line tends to play worse to far worse competition. 2nd line you're facing guys like Krejci/Eriksson instead of guys like Spooner/Belesky/Hayes

Sorry man - I read your comment as negative. Overreacting.

The other one though... when you see it in the context of who was making it...

So you're judging my comment because of my name.

Ok, so lets try this:

Davey passed back to subban, shoulda fired it

Does the comment all of a sudden mean anything else?

 

[Lehkonen4Calder]

Yeah, whatever....we can discuss this over and over again. He's got the most points then....fine?

Still.....timing is everything. And we surely chose the wrong year to suck....

if we sucked in 2013 we could have got Drouin.... finally a great Quebecois

 

[Redux91]

lol imagine how many goals for galchenyuk if the nets get bigger.. im ALL for it honestly

careys still big enough lol

He needs to get help from the grandparents if Max is up watching the baby at night.

Looking pretty great actually...propecia is helluva drug

 

[Fossy21]

In almost twice as many games. True on the last part, though. He might still have quite some ways to develop, though. Most likely.

Gustafsson gives up a ton of rebounds. Habs need to get on those. They were killing the Bruins up until that Mitchell penalty. Bruins rebounded after that.

Bruins are playing a strong game while the Habs are getting some good shifts. That's the difference right now.

And this summer when I said we need more than reclamation projects, I was called a Bergevin hater lol

That's probably the first thing that comes to the mind of AG too. Let's not foul ourselves the players know the game and he perfectly knows Flynn is a 4th line player who got dumped by the Sabres for a 5th round draft pick last year.

That's not a trio that's a duo. Those guys work hard but they never were top 9 offensive players.

3rd overall picks aren't generally stars.

2004 Cam barker
2005 Jack Johnson
2006 Jonathan Toews
2007 Kyle Turris
2008 Zach Bogosian
2009 Matt Duchene
2010 Erik Gudbranson
2011 Jonathan Huberdeau
2012 Alex Galchenyuk
2013 Jonathan Drouin
2014 Leon Draisaitl

Galchenyuk is pretty much in the same class as most.

 

[Wats]

if we sucked in 2013 we could have got Drouin.... finally a great Quebecois

Less points than Galchenyuk playing with much better players in his NHL career.

 

[ottawa]

Haha he just called him a pedo

It's cute that you attack posters. I wasn't even in this GDT until 5 minutes ago.

 

[OpenIceHit]

Anyway! Go Habs!!! They need to give it all in the 3rd. They'll have time to rest all week.

 

[habs247]

Why wouldn't ROGERS just have Bartlett and York do the game instead of Romanuk??

Bartlett is doing the Senators / Hurricanes game right now.

ROGERS is so ****ing dumb.

 

[DangerDave]

Just tuned in. How are we playing

Something tells me that Bergevin expected some rookies to jump in the NHL.....I mean, knowing full well how incredible Lefebvre is at developing players, he had to think that Ghetto would be ready....that Thomas would finally be there....that DLR would be there....that Hudon might make it......and then nothing worked out.

Seriously, we have to be extremely happy to be where we are in the standings. Where a 2nd line is build of a kid who is playing his 1st year at C.....when a Semin nobody wanted is in that line....and when a Eller who we are still wondering where he fits in, is on that line too.

Go to bed.

really hate romanuk, the anti-habsness in him is strong

Cause Paul is better than Bartlett and they expect a bigger audience for the Montreal game.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Galchenyuk is the best of his draft class. Sign of a great player? Or sign of a weak draft class?

Nobody should ever give up on this kid till he plays with 2 REAL hockey players. But he will have to show more than that. He needs to be a catalyst on his line. Needs to make the players around him better. It's not happening with Eller.

For Eller.....it's going to look more and more like a change of scenery is needed. Don't like what I'm seeing.

As far as forwards go, it was a pretty weak draft. Outside of Forsberg all other forwards are either still finding their game or struggling to stay in the line-up. A decent draft for defensemen. Leafs might be right. They might've gotten the best player in Reilly.

 

[DangerDave]

Go to bed.

Lol are the habs really playing that bad?
