In games like this you need scrappers, hence why on the long run Cole was important for us.

Cole was a scrapper?

 

[Tabarouette]

I think he meant "no" Habs injuries....just a typo.

no time for logic, BURN HIM

 

[Dharvey33]

Cole for Ryder, awful awful awful awful awful awful

Ryder has a nice assist on the 1st goal plus we didn't cost us goals.

Calm down the guy is still learning the playbook.

His shot will solve things tonight

 

[teh doors]

Don't worry, we're tradiing him for Bobby Ryan straight up.

Can't do that, Bobby Ryan has a contract and is paid money for it. Can't have contracts on your team, too scary.

 

[matt77]

Is there for a reason xd

xd xd

 

[Natey]

therrien playing chuckie pretty well tonight especially here at the end of the game... but with armstrong and white 0_0

Switch him and gallagher for a shift or two therrien.

Switch Gallagher? Are you for real?

And nothing wrong with White. He's ****ing awesome.

 

[Saintpatrick*]

Clowe would be nice. Top 6 guy with some physicality and can defend himself too. Not a great skater though so don't know if he'd fit with this team.

Makes me think of Ryder's awkward skating. Cole was much more fluid.

Man I love Clowe he would have been nice.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Well we wouldn't be leading in this game if Cole still played with DD and Patch.

He already wasn't.

 

[Nicko999]

Markov looks horrible...horrible...

That was horrible pass by Emelin.

 

[googlymoogly]

He is beyond fantastic.....goes to the net like a mother****er.

Gallagher is the man not like those whiney little girls like Marchand and Seguin.

 

[Bob Cole]

ya the markov honeymoon is officially over. The guy is DONE.

 

[Gary320]

Budaj is having a solid game. Very impressed.

 

[hockeyfan2k11]

And still the best D out here

What?

 

[OneSharpMarble]

The "contract" thing is so overdone on here. 4.5, even at a 25 goal clip is fine. People are fine paying that for Gionta. Cole was something the team didn't have and filled a big time need. Slow start, who cares, give him the benefit of the doubt. The guy had the heart of a lion and loved being a Hab.

Anyways, I'm sorry, I'll shut up. Go Habs and hopefully Ryder gets it going. It's not him I dislike, it's the timing of the move. It's not like Cole would be unmovable in the offseason. He's a good hockey player and ~13-15 games doesn't change that, neitehr would 48.

If it is worth anything I agree with you in that I think the trade was unnecessary and came at a bad time. Also Cole was turning his game around and brought something we couldn't replace. I do hope Ryder isn't this ****** for the rest of the year and we use the cap space for Perry. If we get Perry this is a win but if we don't it sucks.

Dude it's not about Ryder. Ryder, whatever, fine. Goal scorers are streaky I get it. Just a dumb move as the forwards clearly have a huge hole now. You've taken two big fast power forwards outta the lineup in the same week.

 

[sampollock]

Prust is soul

lol.. Ryder will score 2 or 3 goals in a game and everyone will love him. He's streaky as hell, always has been.

 

[Krnage]

oh look...Charas is back on ice

 

[Et le But]

That was horrible pass by Emelin.

I liked Emelin a lot tonight but he's not the smartest guy out there.

 

[V13]

Please don't stop attacking, Don't sit in the zone or this won't end well

I understand it wasn'T a that bad contract, but the two other years would have been tough to handle if Cole kept playing like he did. I think Bergevin was afraid that it would only get worse and that he would become tough to trade without taking a contract. Why would you trade for a guy in the offseason before July 1st when you can hope to get another player without giving any asset. I know right now it seems bad but IMO it's a good move, I'm not saying I'm right and you'Re wrong I'm just saying that I think the move is great.

Bad pass and a slow skate by Markov to get it. He has lost more than a few steps.

 

[Natey]

Budaj!!

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Big hit there and a good save!

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Budajjjjjjj
