But hey, he's fine with his teamates loving him. Clearly not a problem if he doesn't score....yeah right....

[The Great Weal]

****ing Galchenyuk, bury that

 

[Le Tricolore]

Powerplay. Can we wake up here? GO HABS GO!

 

[CauZuki]

By 2014 he was washed up thanks to a few injuries but yeah he was more of a prototypical leader-type of guy. I'll never forget how clutch he was in 2010 and 2011 along with Cammy. Patches hasn't had those moments much (series winners vs TB and BOS in 2014 stand out but otherwise, he hasn't come through when we needed him to. The other side of the sword is how bad our offence would be if not for him and his 35 goals this year not to mention how many were OT winners, albeit in 3-on-3 I realize). He's like a poor man's Kessel and I feel he'd need to go to an elite team a la Penguins to fade into the background and just do his thing.

Then he may finally be regarded as a non-choker in the playoffs. The pressure placed on his role as the team's sniper extraordinaire was one Stephane Richer often faced hard times with and even he had great playoff production but it might be worse cause he ain't a local guy AND he wears the C. Doubt we see Patches traded unless it's in a plum of a deal that nets us a great youngster or two. Unfortunately for him when he's a UFA he'll wanna cash in after his poor contract he signed and that'll limit his options to weaker teams with room to spend $5.5-6.5M per year on a sniper.

Pacioretty + Galchenyuk for Duchene, Landeskog.

Hank is getting it done. He's been lucky but you have to be good to be lucky

Price is a great goalie. Boy oh boy you need a clutch save. I know this lineup is thrash but it seems Lundqvist makes the big saves.

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Ahhhhhh! Come on!

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Powerplay?

 

[nhlfan9191]

Lundqvist is 6 feet out of the net and we throw it into him...

 

[Runner77]

Great feed by Gallagher, too bad Chuckie veered off to a bad angle to shoot.

 

[Gravity]

FFS if nothing comes from this powerplay then..........

 

[WeThreeKings]

Shawful attempt by Galchenyuk there

 

[Deebs]

Lets get this pp goal

 

[A1]

Why didn't galchenyuk one time that pass...

 

[Nedved]

pleks just needs to move his feet.

 

[Saint Patrick]

Come on guys, I'm losing 10 years on this game.

 

[donghabs98]

This could be game here. Habs can't let this chance slip away

 

[cajmonkey]

Great pass by Gally.

 

[Genesis76]

Wow gallagher wow..... Are you not the captain this team needs>

 

[The Nightman]

But hey, he's fine with his teamates loving him. Clearly not a problem if he doesn't score....yeah right....

Pacioretty is his own biggest fan. Hear the pre-game interview? He's apparently been playing fine.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Who got the penalty?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Hey we're getting a PP!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I'm so nervous.
