GDT: Montreal Canadiens vs. Calgary Flames 3/9/17 9:00pm EST SNE, RDS, TSN 690

What a gawd awful period

Classic Habs, I feel like I've been saying to myself "if they can survive the first..." for decades.

 

[The Nightman]

Gallagher is one of the worst PP players statistically in the league over the past few years, shouldn't be out there first.

 

[Mrb1p]

Okay so in one post, you're talking about his laser shot, and on this post his shot was meh?

As far as your last statement....I have no idea what you're talking about. So yeah....I think he improved in every department he could. But as of now, it still doesn' tmean he was worthy of a 1st round pick. So what does it has to do about my opinion on Timmins? By the way......what,s my opinion on Timmins anyway? Hint? It's not as bad as you think it is. But that's only understoood by people who take the time to read it.

People thought he didnt have a shot, because he scored goals against kids, then people realized he had a great shot in the OHL.

Ive read the Timmins threaf enough to catch your vibe, WS.

 

[Bell Centre Hotdog]

Emelin and Petry isn't working kind of a mess a bit.

Sucks because Markov and Weber / Beaulieu and Benn have been decent and cant really break them up.

 

[Mrb1p]

Pacioretty, Danault and Gallagher shouldnt be on the first wave.

Pacioretty is so bad on the PP its disgusting.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Embarrassing period.

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

Yeah I know....Danault is going to get the DD treatment in no time. Wonder why.....Yet, yeah, he is RIGHT NOW what we've got as our best all-around C...

If he goes pointless to make 1 point in the last 12, you might have to revisit that opinion. One point in the last 11 is already far worse than anything we've seen from Plekanec, for example, playing with the same guys, and he doesn't bring good enough defense to overlook that for much longer.

 

[Lshap]

One thing you've got to give this team, is they're not bleeders.

But seriously, when's the last time someone highsticked one of our players and actually drew blood to make it a double minor?

They should start wearing those blood capsules like they use in movies. *Tap*... drip, drip, drip... 4 minutes.

Forget Power-Play specialist. Habs need a special-effects & makeup guy.

Yeah, opinions are subject to change. Always was, always will be.

 

[TheAntiPrice]

A reminder of Gallagher's relationship with the zebras. It's hilarious while also being shameful.

Players and refs in the league know that Gallagher has no talent whatsoever and that his only way of "contributing" is to be chippy/dirty with the goaltender and stir up s*it. Players with those attributes don't get a lot of respect from fellow peers and the officials.

 

[OldCraig71]

Pacioretty, Danault and Gallagher shouldnt be on the first wave.

Pacioretty is so bad on the PP its disgusting.

Pacioretty can shoot the puck and skate fast, thats it and I am not being hard on him, that is what he is, a fast skating sniper with the forward equivalent passing skills of Shea Weber.

Danault shouldn't be anywhere near the top 2 centers. Only on the Habs is he a #1 lol.

 

[Whitesnake]

Danault shouldn't be anywhere near the top 2 centers. Only on the Habs is he a #1 lol.

Nowhere near the top 2? Who would be your first 2? Galchenyuk and...Mitchell? 'Cause surely, you are not talking about Plekanec are you?

 

[G0bias]

Honestly sending two 3rd liners on the first wave and asking Pacioretty to control the play... might as well just decline the PP.

 

[nhlfan9191]

Danault shouldn't be anywhere near the top 2 centers. Only on the Habs is he a #1 lol.

Habs are the only team he isn't in the bottom 6. We should be used to this after suffering threw Desharnais for 4 years.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

This team lacks talent big time. Without Price and Radulov.. we are not a good team.

This team will struggle to score goal until the end of the season and even more in the playoffs. The problem remains the same than before MT was canned, the only difference now is that Price is back to self.. but we still have all the problem in the world to score.

 

[Mrb1p]

Thats mean to Shea.

 

[The Great Weal]

Yeah I know....Danault is going to get the DD treatment in no time. Wonder why.....Yet, yeah, he is RIGHT NOW what we've got as our best all-around C. Galchy, whether it's his fault, or the coach's fault, or a combination of both, is not our best C right now. If he could get Radulov on his line when he comes back, that might change. But right now....he's not.

And I'll pretend that you didn't compare Seguin to Galchenyuk.

Danault is obviously better DD. Danault plays with Radulov and Pacioretty, I should hope he seems to be the best all-around C. He's great defensively, and he plays with 2 of the best offensive forces on the team, he should put up points. I hope we trade Galchenyuk and he just explodes, maybe then we can play our "best" all-around C and Steve Ott for as much as we want.

And I wasn't comparing Seguin to Galchenyuk. My point was that Seguin is terrible defensively and still get's a **** load of minutes because of his offensive talent(for the most part). All I am asking for is to play Galchenyuk(best offensive talent in our garbage center depth) more than Steve Ott. He should be playing near 20 min every game, but baby steps.

There were at least 6 consecutive brazen penalties in that sequence. It's an embarrassment to a professional sports league.

There is no justification. Period.

 

[The Nightman]

Pacioretty, Danault and Gallagher shouldnt be on the first wave.

Pacioretty is so bad on the PP its disgusting.

Pac is fine when he's making one touch passes or immediately shooting as soon as the puck is on his stick.

But when he begins to take his time and thinks before making a play... It can get a little bit hairy.

Why are we trading galchy?

 

[OldCraig71]

Danault has to play on the 1st line because defensively chucky is a dumpster fire.

When hes on the half board its freaking laughable.

Espcially when we have one of the best options there in chuck.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

Man we need a top 6 centre, danault just isn't good enough offensively, not even close.

 

[Maliki2]

Danault has to play on the 1st line because defensively chucky is a dumpster fire.

And offensively Danault is DD all over.
