Only the Habs ban DD from this team first. My goodness, I don't hate the guy, I've said my piece on him, but what is he still doing on this team?

congrats tho that Super Bowl was crazy good I'm a giants fan hehe

 

[The Great Weal]

I just love the leadership Shaw brings, great deal by Bergevin.

 

[CoopersFalls]

Also his team severely lacks Subban's vision on the backend. He created so much with his skating and poaymaking. And where is the Shea Weber who is hard to play against and strikes fear into opponents? Petry has easily been more physical this season and he's been criticized in the past for being too soft

 

[Habssince89]

So many useless players right now! DD Ghetto Shaw Flynn, name it!! Small, not physical, not offensive nothing!!

Shaw has been so disappointing. Too many boneheaded plays, not enough consistency. He's had some flashes but ultimately he's been bad.

Flynn is a fine 4th liner/13th forward, he's being overused for sure.

DD... well....

 

[habdynasty]

Pleks has to be the most mediocre player of all time , I can't believe he is still on the team.

 

[CoopersFalls]

For those criticizing Shaw; he was meant to be a 3rd line banger with hands. It's not his fault that Therrien throws him on the PP with Desharnais every second shift, that's not his element

You're out to lunch. Weber has been fine.

I miss PK but he was never going to get the respect of the management so it's best to move on. What this team is lacking is better coaching and systems. MT's system makes people play the hard way and the exhaustion is evident every year

 

[OldCraig71]

I honestly do not think the team is this bad, they have just quit on Therrien, same as last year.

This, I'm still waiting for him to show up.


Remember when he was going to make the coach better, clean the crease, hit hard, make us a better team ?

7.5 million committed to those two this year.

We had scoring woes with PK here, too, btw.

 

[DXStriker]

TSN690 just said DD has more PP time than Radulov ..... really...... really.... I dont know what to say anymore

Seriously, Shea Webs constantly let's guys off the hook when he has an obvious chance to hit someone and separate them from the puck. Very passive, the big guy.

Probably doesn't want to get caught out of position with his poor skating technique, but still... Show us some sort of physical game! We are desperately lacking it.

They never quit on MT, that's the worst part.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

If they lose tonight, the Habs will have only 5 wins in their last 15 games (5-8-2)

4 of them being non-playoff teams.

If we lose tonight, we'd be the 2nd worst team in the entire league in the last 10 games.

Contenders we are...

DD... well....

Weise > Shaw

He was faster, hit hard, could play from time to time in a top6 role...I still don't understand the trade.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Pleks has to be the most mediocre player of all time , I can't believe he is still on the team.

For as long as DD is on the roster, Pleky is right where he should be.

Don't worry, give Therrien a pass for this, it is not the norm.

I remember he was going to make the coach better, clean the crease, hit hard, to make us a better team...

Where are the forwards who are supposed to score goals ? Same problem every year. Cant score can't win.

No one should really care about shaw's production but he is known to be a screener/garbageman on the PP. What I take issue with is his lack of discipline and his inconsistency when it comes to his performance as that "3rd line banger". He costs the team too much and I think he has under preformed this year.

DD is Mon Amie.

yea i think just before they debated bothering to come back after the third period for delmar post game

 

[Uncle Gary]

There is only 1 solution to this problem. This is Therrien. Reverting back to his old habits because they "worked" and he is scared for his job security.

 

[Canari94]

Tremblay just confirmed was he has said yesterday at l'Antichambre : "we cannot trust Galchenyuk defensively so he can't play in penalty kill so we have to play him at the wing"....

Hey, you know what ? We need to score goals !!!!!! Seriously I'm pissed off with all these guys who are in love with "guys good without the puck"....

 

[sheed36]

Mitch Gallo just said on TSN690 that MB needs to get DD off this team and take this player away from MT. He said DD has played more on the PP tonight than Radulov. MT just cannot help himself regarding DD.

Top 3 forwards TOI tonight.
Radulov: 12:02 TOI
Shaw: 12:00 TOI
4th line center DD: 11:57 TOI
