What was the reason Higgins was let go in montreal awhile ago?, He seems to be playing some fantastic hockey this season, and for awhile now.

What was the issue?

He used to be a legit top line material winger with great grit.

Then he got an injury (Ankle or wrist, can't remember) and started sucking bad, missing every shot he took and being snake bit...

No issue. We had a great GM who desperately wanted the great Gomez so had to give a few players. Of course, there were those things that Higgins liked the nightlife.....like a whole lot of them playing in Montreal. Never enough for me though. It's on this organization to surround those kids coming in Montreal better. Anyway, not that long before his trade, Higgins was seen as a potential captain candidate.....like.....Komisarek.....That's another story though.

what would be funny is if Pacioretty gets a third penalty shot tonight and misses again trying to deke.

 

[Habsawce]

Pacioretty with two penalty shots, fails miserably on both. Yeah, it's a funny game.

Gionta would have come in from the side and took a half clapper 7 feet wide, would have preferred that for lawls

 

[Hoople]

If this goes to a shoot out, $50 says that Therrien will use pacioretty.

Awesome.

 

[NobleSix]

Just looked at the box score and assume I'm missing a thrilling game.

Damn.

Yeah, if you like seeing Pacioretty **** up miserably on two glorious opportunities.

Higgins refused to grind.

 

[No More Subban]

Eller would've made those penalty shots.. Wish he had those chances. He needs it.

 

[EveryDay]

Gallagher is one of the most selfish player i've ever seen....... PASS THE PUCK!

Higgins was seen as an expendable asset, you might remember he was in all the the rumours.

I remember that year Higgins scored 27 goals, and skated like a bat out of hell. Think he said he thought he could score 40.....fantastic PK'er.....miss him.

He was never the same after a high ankle sprain....I think.

 

[Peen]

That's some luck right there.

 

[PricePkPatch*]

This is why Higgins was traded

 

[Canucks LB]

Seems like a player who just needed a change of scenery.

Tons of guys like that around the NHL, who benefit from trades

 

[sheed36]

Thank god for fragile sticks.

 

[Genesis76]

Higgins being him self as usual

 

[EveryDay]

Prust is an idiot.

 

[Andy]

Bourque is Pejorative Slured sometimes

 

[Peen]

He was traded the season after where he only performed at a third line rate.

Well DD and Patch won't ever pass it to him when he plays with them

What was the issue?

He was partying too hard

 

[MasterDecoy]

patches got 2 penalty shots and missed both? lmao

 

[NobleSix]

Ever watch Eller play?

 

[Whitesnake]

what would be funny is if Pacioretty gets a third penalty shot tonight and misses again trying to deke.

If he gets a 3rd penalty shot.....he should do the WJC Finnish strategy and claim he can't shoot because of an injury....

 

[CH25]

Prust the turnover machine.
