It's pretty evident that this forward group isn't good enough and last year was an anomaly. Time to shake it up Bergevin, earn your paycheck.

I think we have forwards with talent, I just don't think they have the proper role.

Guys like Briere have no role. We have no net front presence type of guy. We're playing boullion instead of a real PP triggerman. These minor details can turn us into a much better team.

Gionta, Desharnais and Gallagher aren't top 6 players at this point and they're being leaned on way too much. That's 3 players out of 6 that are in a role they shouldn't be in, which is bad in my eyes.

I know I sound like a broken record but after seeing those Team Canada WJC highlights again, how is gods name does Paterson not scrape his ****ing crease after the shootout flood? What a horrible idiotic mistake. Clearly slides out of the save twice, moron.

I don't mind them really and I'm not sure why Gallagher is in that mix. I think Gallagher is deserving of 2nd line ice time and can compliment any unit.

Gionta will go in due time but he's 3rd in points for forwards and can play tougher minutes so he has some use.

DD is DD. We have 17 threads about him by now. Decent player that we lean on too heavily.

I still think the minor details I mentioned would make us more effective. We just don't have a plethora of legit top 6 players and honestly they aren't cheap. We work with what we got but doesn't mean there isn't better fits for this team.

haha I'm pretty angry. I played goalie for 13 years growing up through junior and I'm very critical of goalies, feel like it's something I have a lot of knowledge about.

I added Gallagher becuase I feel on a contending team he's an ideal 3rd line energy player that can slide up the line up if needed and chip in 20 goals a season.

Everything was going fine with Gallagher and Galchenyuk....but we had to change that. Same **** with Bournival. But we had to kill his confidence.

Therrien coached Crosby and Malkin so he's good with youth, didn't you know?

Just like Jean Perron brought a cup to the Habs with amongst his players guys like Gainey, Robinson and Roy. Which just clearly makes him a perfect coach.

Briere always makes one or two plays a game that get you excited that he might wake up, but then is just completely invisible. No effort, no fight. Doesn't even attempt to chase a lose puck.
