Is sports journalism to journalism is same as chiropractors to doctors? I don't know of a good analogy... but seems like if you failed at journalism, you go into sports journalism. In general I feel like it is such an outdated thing... I mean who doesn't know in advance, based on a situation, what questions will be asked and what answers will be given.
You wouldn't think that if you were first name basis with him and he f***ed your girlfriend and he shook your hand afterwards. Yes I'm still sour lol
How so? We can't keep four and we aren't likely to keep three. I know which ones I'd put on waivers but that isn't happening. Primeau has not forced the Canadiens' hand it's as simple as that. That is the sad reality. Counterproductive assumes there was production to begin with. Even if we could shed Allen the team would likely go with DeSmith based on results at the NHL level.
Of course there are teams that would give up something for DeSmith but no one has cap room currently.
Capspace is a much needed commodity....at this point, that's all it looks like we will get.
Pretty funny that fans will roast berg for things that make no sense. MB was king of keeping minor assets alive.
It's all about skating style and centre of gravity. The lower your centre of gravity is, the harder it is to knock you down.
Revisionist history. He was a 13f until his playoff run. Not saying I agree with it, but he kept his value down and always signed him to small contracts even when we barely used him.Lehky was not a minor asset.
Yvan looking sharp
Holy crap man Lehky was never a thirteenth forward people called him a fourth line player and yet he rarely ever spent time in that role. I don't get the misconception when it comes to Lehkonen like at all. Scores 18 goals in his rookie season was lauded for his skating his forechecking and his defensive acumen. Yet people call him a 13th forward and a fourth line player. Revisionist history requires proper recall so you missed the boat there.
You are pressed and wrong. I’ve been a big lehky fan for years and he did score 18 as a rookie on the 3rd line and was never a 4th liner player but he was utilized as a 13f. Find me a lineup from 2015-2020 that has him locked into a spot. He had guys like dale weise, Thomas Fleishmam, pa parenteau, Danny brierre, Byron, Perry, Halpern, armia etc There was always someone above him in the lineup same with kulak. Because he was young he was always shafted as the 13f utility guy.
Yes its rumours but today the flames still have Lindholm,Hanifin and a better team then the Habs
In 2015-16 he was playing in Frolunda. His rookie year he averaged 13:52 of ice time. From 17-18 to 19-20 he averaged 15:48 toi with 66, 82, and 70 games played...that's hardly 13f time. His ice time dipped in 20-21 to lower than his rookie season totals (13:25) but he had as crappy a year as everyone else did that season.
BS
He is out to lunch these are Lehkonen's stats as a Hab.

You guys are just proving my point. He was under utilized and never had a solidifying roster spot. Other than 2018 where he played mostly on the 4th line
No I posted these numbers to show it was impossible he was a 13F based on his games played.
I loved Lehky but his 431 consecutive shots in the glass around the net had many of us doubting he would ever grow out of that. He did everything else better than most.
