Not negating the narrative, Alexi.

Can we just trade Emelin!

 

[Bieber fever]

McCarron is a "bust". No progression at all ...he went from top 6 potential to good 3rd liner to energy guy on the 4th line

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Emelin. OMG...why. lol

 

[OriginalCanadian]

Emelin is god awful

 

[Aceekay]

Is emelin drunk?

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

We would more likely win if we play our best center more than a 4th liner.

Don't worry about it too much until it's a trend continuing into the 3rd period. Maybe Julien is just letting the dependable guys beat a bit of a groove in the ice for everyone else to start. Flames are also a hot team right now.

Giordanault

 

[Whitesnake]

Amazing how much better King looked when he played in LA. He seems pretty mediocre

I have to agree.....so far. Loved him A LOT in LA. Don,t recognize him so far.

Absolutely useless. Incoming 5 x 3,5m extension.

Top 6 potential was pushed by somebody with an agenda. Was never the case.

 

[sandviper]

Nice Emelin... almost had goal #3 there

 

[HabsQC]

Shea penalty

 

[Stive Morgan]

Is emelin drunk?

Too much vodka

Emelin

He looked like that this year. Hes been used on the 2nd line a lot... Its just not his spot.

 

[zx81]

Hate it when Chucky does his junior dekes in the center zone

 

[TRG]

This is just the beginning boys, we're in for a beatdown tonight, Flames have so much more talent than us, it's ridiculous.

That's a team the Habs crushed 5-1 under Therrien.

Can you stop with your alternative facts?

 

[No More Subban]

He was never projected to be a top 6 player when he was drafted.. habs were just looking to get bigger.

 

[c3z4r]

Our best center is NOT our best center. Especially not with Radulov out. A best center is a center that plays offense but that also wins his faceoffs and plays great defensively.

He's been averaging about 49% on faceoffs since coming back from his injury.

 

[Aspirine]

McCarron is a "bust". No progression at all ...he went from top 6 potential to good 3rd liner to energy guy on the 4th line

I'm pretty much in agreement. It's like he just can't.

 

[Rapala]

Bed time soon we are getting smoked...

 

[TheAntiPrice]

Will you go away for a month when the Habs win tonight?

I would gladly take a month off if Habs win tonight.

But don't bet on that happening, it's about to be 2-0 in 5...4...3...2...

Could be that the guy is still shellshocked. Drop of 25 degrees Celsius, country change and totally different hockey environment can do that. He never seemed happy about the trade. Not like Caveman.

Reading their board, we're getting what he was at the end of his stay in LA. He's not the guy we got to know in their Cup runs.
