GDT: Montreal Canadiens vs Detroit Red Wings 4/8/17 7:00pm EST SN, TVA Sports, TSN 690

[Hackett]

Recover form what. He's never ever been good on the LW. He never will. He's not a LW. RW? Maybe. We have yet to actually try it.

At the very least, can we at least agree that we have seen him play much better on the wing than he is right now.

I have heard this narrative often lately that he's "never" been good on the LW. I disagree with that strongly. Whether he is better suited for wing or centre is a valid debate, but let's not pretend that he has not shown good things on the wing in the past either.

 

[Habs]

I hope AG doesn't break a nail before playoffs, could affect his intensity level.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Nice touch by the Habs.

 

[Whitesnake]

Galchenyuk with Ott and Martinsen......wow. Even Therrien would not have gone that low. I have no idea what Julien is doing. Just before the playoffs.

This guy is traded in the summer. Book it.

Nice touch by the Habs.

Awesome!

I love Ott and he deserves it!

 

[Tankster*]

No injuries please !!! Thats all i ask.

 

[Habs]

Galchenyuk with Ott and Martinsen......wow. Even Therrien would not have gone that low. I have no idea what Julien is doing. Just before the playoffs.

This guy is traded in the summer. Book it.

He's probably hoping he will match the intensity, or take notice of how you are supposed to play a game... Ott's approach to the game is something AG should take notice of.

Could be great trade bait.

 

[The Nightman]

Galchenyuk with Ott and Martinsen......wow. Even Therrien would not have gone that low. I have no idea what Julien is doing. Just before the playoffs.

He's about to get Seguin'ed, Hopefully we wind up with a more even return than Boston did.

If people had doubts about him being traded before, I think tonight is the biggest proof short of an actual trade happening.

 

[Drew4u]

Terrible management. First Subban and now galchenyuk. Bergervin hates anyone with talent. More Grinders and tough guys... yay.

Galchenyuk isn't traded yet. So I would hold off on naming him in your argument against Bergevin. And Galchenyuk on the wing is CJ's choice, not MB's.

 

[ottawa]

So who's a healthy scratch today?

 

[Dagistitsyn]

Galchenyuks effort level has been pure ****. He deserves to be playing with Ott on the 4th. Wake up.

 

[Adam Michaels]

So who's a healthy scratch today?

I know Plekanec is.

 

[Whitesnake]

Galchenyuks effort level has been pure ****. He deserves to be playing with Ott on the 4th. Wake up.

You don't give wake up calls at that time of this year. Nor should you have been entering in a supposed stupid rotation 2 weeks before the playoffs as if this was preseason.

We are lucky that the "path" to the ECF seems to be easy.

 

[LaP]

At the very least, can we at least agree that we have seen him play much better on the wing than he is right now.

On the LW? Not very much. Of course he was young and was less jaded but he never was anything more than a 20-40 guy on the LW.

 

[AshyHabs]

He's about to get Seguin'ed, Hopefully we wind up with a more even return than Boston did.

I thought the exact same thing when I watched him play last night. I hope we do get more in return...

 

[LaP]

Ott's approach to the game is the very last thing AG should take notice off.

He should watch old videos of Damphousse.

 

[G0bias]

Hopefully we get Kessel to TO type of return for Galchenyuk.

...and not the bent over return for Seguin.

 

[Tankster*]

Terrible management. First Subban and now galchenyuk. Bergervin hates anyone with talent. More Grinders and tough guys... yay.

Subban got us Weber, i'm happy and i'm sure Habs management is ecstatic.

Galchenyuks effort level has been pure ****. He deserves to be playing with Ott on the 4th. Wake up.

I agree, i would put him back with Gallagher and put him back at center, cant be worse then Plekanecs.

 

[Tuggy]

Hopefully we get Kessel to TO type return for Galchenyuk.

...and not the bent over Seguin trade.

Well Kessel and Seguin are better players...

Not sure why people are so protective of Galchenyuk. His effort level this season has been really poor.

 

[LaP]

To be honest the way the fans and media are acting it will be hard to find a management with big enough balls to manage the yearly cancer.

Every year there's a cancer. And this cancer is responsible for everything. Other players get a pass for the same exact plays the cancer is doing.

It's almost impossible for the management to keep the cancer for more than 2-3 seasons. Takes big balls. It's hard for the players. It's hard for the fans not buying into the cancer rhetoric the media is selling. Long term a trade is best for everyone including the player.

AG will be replaced by Beaulieu. Then Sergachev. Then another player. Once you realize how it works it's easy to know who will be the next cancer. Beaulieu and Sergachev are future cancer there'S absolutely NO DOUBT in my mind. Beaulieu is already kind of one but his importance with the team is not big enough to be fully in motion.

 

[TRG]

Well Kessel and Seguin are better players...

Not sure why people are so protective of Galchenyuk. His effort level this season has been really poor.

Because we still believe in him?

 

[Adam Michaels]

So I'm guessing Benn is sitting this one out as well.

I actually expect both Galchenyuk and Beaulieu to be gone in the offseason, perhaps even together in a package deal.

Because we still believe in him?

Crazy, eh? It's almost as if some can still remember back to just a few months ago, before his injury where he was tearing it up and was looking like a completely different player than what we've been seeing recently.
