My friendMy first Habs game ever in Vancouver, Miloslav Guren scored the only Habs goal.
Turns out you've seen that man's only NHL goal ever too lol

Just curious, i hear Gignac works hard…do you think this passion can carry over in the NHL, or is he only an AHL player?
That's why I said "Given his heart and soul". At this point in his career, he really doesn't have much left to give. You see spurts where you think he's still got it. Sadly they've now become few and far between.I don’t see any heart and soul from him anymore and I haven’t seen it for years. I think he’s frustrated that he’s basically untradable because of his contract and is just going threw the motions on top of his physical decline. It’s sad to watch.
Like many players after extended time off he started slow and was out of sync until the 3rd. Most of us noticed it and commented on it. By the 3rd he was back to the same player we all saw over the past 25 games or so.
Yep! And I'm pretty sure Sylvain Blouin dropped the mits that night too! What a Habs roster!My friend

I believe most in here wanted Slaf to hone his skills in the minors but turns out staying at the NHL level was the right decision. It’s not always a hard and fast rule as development is not linear.The flashes were few and far between last season and it was obvious the game was going too fast for him.
I was one who said he wasn't showing much play making ability because he wasn't.
I was also one who brought up his first NHL goal (which was a beauty) as an indicator there was good stuff in him.
This year was night and day and going back in his thread and the GDT's you will find who was acknowledging his progression and who wasn't.
In typical HFHabs fashion people were more interested in being right than swallowing a few feathers.

Fixed…Logan "bpa" Cooley : 6G 25P
Bustkovsky : 9G 22P
One is a bust the other is a surefire elite player +++ in the making who started the season near PPG (11pts in 14GP)
True, but Koivu years had nowhere near the same amount of promising prospects.
All busted and were out of the NHL within 4-years of his departure from Habs - Komisarek, Higgins, AKos, SKos, D’Agostini, O’Byrne…. only the last pick of the 2003 draft carved out an NHL career qualifying for longterm pension bonus (Halak)They had a really good crop of prospects towards the end of koivu's run in Montreal.
Close to 40 points for a big guy ay 19 is pretty damn rare honestly. If he can do that it's going to be very positive. And it's not only about the point he is already dominant physically despite not having the muscle of a full grown adult yet. I played hockey enough to know that at the same size guys under the age of 21 are easier to move than guys in their prime at 24+.60 pt pace for Slafkovsky over the last 20 games.
For year 2 in the league, at 19, that's a pretty great pace to be on. If he finishes the year between 35-50 pts, I think we could all be very happy with that especially if we pace for when the switch 'flipped'.
He isn't in the future plans of the Habs and also, with so many young D-men there has to be times when players sit and watch games.And yet, Kovacevic gets healthy scratched at times. What am I not understanding here...
There was also Grabovski, McDonagh, price subban, and pacioretty towards the end of his tenure.All busted and were out of the NHL within 4-years of his departure from Habs - Komisarek, Higgins, AKos, SKos, D’Agostini, O’Byrne…. only the last pick of the 2003 draft carved out an NHL career qualifying for longterm pension bonus (Halak)
Not sure if anyone comes calling to have that 13th -14th player for a run, but ya no one is giving him a contract next season, can't see it happening.Pearson at this point is simply a body to help ice a roster. He carved himself out a decent career, was part of a Cup champion but he is done. I truly wish him well.
Somebody ought to call the cops on Montembeault cause he's steeling points that son of a bitch.
Another strong game from him,if not for him it would not have had that outcome.
Still remember all those saying he was a nothing but he keeps proving them wrong.
Don't think so because of the contract. But even if the contract would be better he would be worth a 7th round pick probably.Not sure if anyone comes calling to have that 13th -14th player for a run, but ya no one is giving him a contract next season, can't see it happening.
And at the same time getting dumped on fromKovasevic leads the Habs with a +8. Quietly doing a decent job.
That is not saying much,the game was lifeless. Montreal still has 30 games left and if this game was representative of the rest of the season,it will be a tough watch.Gallagher isn't a big loss. Team is better without him.
