Eller already in the doghouse?

Galchenyuk pratique au centre de Gallagher et Prust. Et Eller n'est pas sur un trio régulier.

Sounds more like Therrien's mixing up a few lines. It says Chuck is on a trio with Galla and Prust. While Eller is on an uncommon (as in new?) trio. That's what I got. Doubt Therrien would bench Eller after one game.

Then again, maybe...

Doen't mean he is in the doghouse, coach is trying out different line combos

Well, it's not even game day, so I think we shouldn't get our panties in a bunch, but I really hope Therrien is not that stupid, altough his use of Bouillon last game makes me worried.

Considering I asked a question and didn't give a statement, I'd say you are not reading this right.

good point

Again, it's not confirmed that Eller is sitting, but if he is, I might lose my ****.

Don't think #Habs Lars Eller did anything to warrant sitting. But #CH seem to want to give Gallagher a game. Worth a shot. #gohabsgo


Never mind sitting Armstrong or White, sit Eller! If true, Therrien has made a big error . Hopefully this is just another issue (perhaps health), and not a sign that Eller will be missing ice time.

Wait to see if they are still running these lines tomorrow morning.

But at this point, I'm almost wishing the lockout had wiped this season out...

Whatever helps get the team a better pick.

very unfortunate...

it's not the end of the world, obviously, but I don't get how a coach on the one hand says he needs to see a "breakthrough" season from a young player, and then on the other hand juggles him out of the top-9 after 1 game (and a short camp).


I didn't see the game, but from the descriptions I've read, Eller was certainly not the only habs top-9 fwd who underwhelmed, couldn't he get at least a few games in a regular role (in games & in practice) to at least give him a shot at performing consistently?

 

[Luigi Habs]

Eller will not sit, calm down people. But he should play a lot better. Last year you could feel sometimes he'd become a great 2 way center, some other times he was completely useless.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Even if these aren't the lines that are going to be used for tomorrow's game this still makes zero sense, the players need to practice together to gain some chemistry which all 4 lines lacked on Saturday.

 

[Jigger77]

I like Eller, but the way he's vastly overrated on these boards is making it hard to. If he sits he sits.

I hope Gallagher gets a go tomorrow night. I think he could bring a bit of desperately needed offensive spark and surprise quite a few people.

#habs line changes bourque w/ pleks & Gio. Galchenyuk C 3rd line w/ Prust & Gallagher. Moen,white,arms looks to be 4th.1st line stays same

 

[poetryinmotion]

Someone mentioned they are rotating Eller on the third line, but with whom I don't know. Most likely armdog or White..

I do like the 4th line though (or third? ^), and finally, Gally at center. I won't complain too much because of this even though I am not happy about Eller possibly sitting.

So basically, Galchenyuk took Eller's spot, and they re-invented the third line.

 

[SakuSauce]

What did Eller do to deserve this?

It's okay to scratch White or Armstrong, just sayin...

 

[bcv]

Fans better get used to it. Therrien likes his hard working grinders.

 

[SeriousHabs]

Therrien doesn't seem to approve of the ridicoulous ''Eller is a gangsta'' thread that we had last year/summer

 

[poetryinmotion]

Fans better get used to it. Therrien likes his hard working grinders.

Actually this is a more skilled, offensive minded third line than the previous one with Eller on it.

Galchenyuk - Eller - Moen is less skilled than Prust - Galchenyuk - Gallagher? OK.

 

[L4br3cqu3]

Am I the only one thinking that Desharnais played like crap saturday ? I like that Gally is playing center in practice, and especially like that Gallagher is playing with him, and Prust too, but Eller playing with Blunden, that I don't like, especially since I thought he wasn't as bad as Desharnais...

But yeah, whatever helps getting a better pick...
