[TRG]

Pens tied it

Nice little pass by Beau, too bad it didn't work out.

 

[deandebean]

He played 40 games in detroir

He comes from the area or something to that effect.

 

[Adam Michaels]

"Il fait du bon boulot" was his words. So yeah... New contract incoming.

He also said that about Therrien on more than one occasion. Don't take what is said in a press conference as confirmation. He wouldn't throw his coaches under the bus in a public forum.

 

[groovejuice]

he played 3 at the start of the season

Really? I thought he played
pre-season? Thanks.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Pens tied it

Nice. And the Isles up 4-1 against NJ.

 

[deandebean]

Kid did good there on the outlet sequence.

 

[Mrb1p]

I stand by the point that he was not the issue when he was the 1st line C. Wingers were dead in a slump then. At least play him as a C with regular pp time.

I see him moving his feet right now and think the hate for him reminds me of the same level of hate for Pacioretty at the beginning of the season during his long slump.

Hes not moving his feet. Skate harder, go after the puck, hit someone, fight, show some passion.

Hes just an emotionless body.

Its absolutely not a compliment to be compared to a slumping Pacioretty BTW and he too needs to move his feet when hes not scoring, but this boat has sailed with Max, at least hes a consistent 65 point guy.

i can't be the only that thinks that Lernout has a chance at the NHL next year ?

He's got some abilities. But all will depend on who stays and who goes.

 

[greyboy67]

Steve Ott is NOT gonna help us win anything. Hes retiring next year. Probably a great locker room guy and a stick up guy but hes dead as a hockey player.

Wow, thanks for telling me! Otherwise I would have gone into the playoffs thinking management got Ott to help Montreal win playoff games.

I guess they needed him to block the progress of a younger player they don't like.

 

[deandebean]

Better period by the pup.

Doesn't need to be a compliment. Pacioretty was injured. So was/is Chucky. Not on their best games. After an injury. Not too shocking really.

Either way our depth on D should look much better than the start of this year

C'mon! Do you think there's a conspiracy to prevent him from doing well in the NHL?

Julien has clearly demonstrated that he believes in positive reinforcement. The team is doing all they can to get him going on.

I don't think there's a conspiracy. The guy is clearly in a slump and has little confidence in his game at the moment, but all these coaching decisions has only resulted in his play further deteriorating instead of improving, so I don't understand the doubling-down.

A slumping Pax is still good defensively!!

Simple game. Good skater. Seems comfortable out there. Legitimate prospect.

 

[SquiddFX]

I would have loved to see prime Ott here in Montreal. I think he could have been a fan favourite.

 

[Adam Michaels]

A long shot chance. But I don't think he's too far from NHL. In two years, I can look to him to be either in the NHL or at least truly challenging for a spot.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Kid did good there on the outlet sequence.

I think he's done some good things for his first regular season game. A couple ''lolwat?'' plays, but he's also had some good ones. Couple good outlets and pinches.

 

[OnTheRun]

He also said that about Therrien on more than one occasion. Don't take what is said in a press conference as confirmation. He wouldn't throw his coaches under the bus in a public forum.

And your point is?

Last time I checked, has bad Therrien was, he didn't miss the POs for 4 straight years before getting the axe.

The simple fact that he let Sly's contract run his ****ing course mean he's happy with Sly.

He's not skating man. I'd agree with you if he looked like he gave a crap out there.

 

[le_sean]

Really needs to adjust to NHL speed. Must be a huge challenge from the OHL.

 

[SquiddFX]

And Larkin scores... great.

 

[deandebean]

ouf. First bad goal for Linegraine.
