GDT: Montreal Canadiens vs Colorado Avalanche 9:00pm EST SNE, RDS (HD), TSN 690

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

no way he's a shutdown forward just been trailing off on scoring this year

we have tons of more useless players than him

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

He is the 2nd most used forward tonight, behind Radulov.

And we wonder why the guys aren't pushing hard...

Weise > Shaw

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

Oh stop Weise shouldn't have been anywhere near this team.

Weise got away from hitting altogether when he played on the top line with DD and Max. Even when he went back down to the 3rd and 4th line, he was convinced he was a top line finesse player. He got away from what made him successful at some point.

But I will always appreciate his playoff performances.

So when has rolling all 4 lines lead to a Stanley Cup?

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

Check two posts below mine where the poster agrees with me. Perhaps you're out to lunch? Yes, Weber has been fine. Fine isn't good enough. So he can shoot a puck, big deal. There's other facets of the game where he has been average (just like the fired analytics guy predicted). He's invisible when he's not wiring the puck on the PP

If they are worse than the little girl than yes they are pathetic.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

hehehe DD will score in the first 5 minutes and then we will get scored on 4 more times to end the game

next game DD is #1C

 

[nhlfan9191]

Choke this away boys. It's time for this idiot behind the bench to go.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

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

Shaw doesn't produced much at even strength, 25-30% of his goals in the last 3 seasons with the blackhawks were scored on the PP.

Honestly, if you just shorten bench come playoff time it works. I'm not sure we have the personnel for a cup win though.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

he still shuts down other teams top players even without scoring this year I agree he's overpaid without his normal points but still a good shutdown forward

 

[The Great Weal]

If we miss the playoffs Therrien is fired, I guarantee you.

 

[Tyson]

The battered sports fan syndrome continues...I will watch the shut out. 5-0 final will be perfect.

 

[TheBlindFan]

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

men... did you understand anything about the game... radu patch gally are putrid tonight...

-1 let scoring chance.

the 4th line is not the ****ing problem

DDS

 

[Maliki2]

Anyone really think that DD wouldn't be immediately the go to guy for Therrien when he came back? LOL

MT is a fool!

When the puck isn't on and off his stick within half a second he usually has a poor game.

One trick pony

Patriots super bowl come back here.

Brady and Bilicheck aint got nothing on Desharnais and Therrien.

 

[CoopersFalls]

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.

Exactly! Show some spine and stop coasting.

One dimensional. Doesn't matter when he's on a good team.

Actually, he was on Chicago's first line and top 6 more often than not and had some moments of glory from being in Toews' and Kane's halo, although that's because Saad became too expensive. But people can be such fools to expect anyone on this team to be on a Kane or Toews level to inflate Shaw's totals, although Chucky has that potential. Before you mention Radulov, quite of few had doubts about him, and no doubt some Shaw huggers were Radulov doubters.

I agree, but he is not the problem.
