I also would like to bring up

Desharnais in the press box : therrien decision

Desharnais 4 years 3.5 mill per: bergevin decision

Thanks god we got a french coach or we would have been another language war.
.

to avoid language storm in the media, DD was strategically replaced by another francophone.

 

[Bloumeister]

Contending teams don't contend with DD types in the top 6. You would think Bergevin would know that since he was around the Blackhawk organization.

You mean that team with Toews - Kane - Hossa - Sharp - Keith - Seabrook - Crawford - etc?

 

[nilan30]

Did they call up St Pierre to take Desharnais' spot because he will fit in his jersey? Man this team is cheap. If I see tape over top of "Desharnais" and "St Pierre" written on it with sharpie I will not be impressed.

 

[mitchmagic]

This is some good **** guys.

I heard Bergevin is already preparing his extension

Shame there's no accent grave in St-Pierre....

With DD gone at least for this game, the Habs are a higher offensive threat.

Let's hope it's an entertaining game. The Blues are a great team this year.

 

[JLP]

5-1 Habs Bournival hat trick why not

 

[Redux91]

really lovin the lines

hope leblanc looks good with eller, i really pull for that kid

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

I'm already expecting this if the Habs lose the game: "Well looks like DD wasn't the problem".

EDIT: And then DD plays next game with Pacioretty and Bourque and Eller on the 4th line.

Off-topic a little, but I can't believe a guy so good in the ring is mostly known for pointing up and repeating a word over and over and over.

It's sports-entertainment now and no longer wrestling, heh? Guess I should get with the times.

yeah, I am thinking the same. esp. since we can easily get Halaked tonight.

It hasn't even been "entertainment" since September.

it's still enjoyable, just in a different way... lots of ups and downs

but the wrestling itself is way better right now than it was the past 10 years too, IMO (even Cena got better over time)

But no one can say he's part of the solution either!!!

Either way, who use to play with Pacioretty? Desharnais
Who is playing with Pacioretty now? Galchenyuk

Galchenyuk vs Desharnias = No contest

 

[BigHabs]

Ill just be happy for the fact we possibly have a guy in the lineup who doesn't fall to his knees as soon as he is bumped.

It could also mean the line he would of played on won't have its offense killed as soon as the puck hits his blade.

Therrien - Desharnais will not play tonight. A tough decision.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

yeah, I am thinking the same. esp. since we can easily get Halaked tonight.

I think Price can pull a Halak tonight.

No Desharnais?

 

[void]

DD out?? **** yes.

 

[Habsawce]

DD out?? **** yes.

 

[Phil Parent]

But topic at hand, I said in the last PGT that Desharnais might have played his last game with the Habs. Of course, being scratched doesn't equal being sent away, otherwise PK would be playing in Columbus or something, but yeah, they are going through the motions of demotion (!!) with him now.

And I still believe that this is none of his fault, advance scouting killed DD deader than the dodo. He's small, not shifty, not that fast. People figured out if you just got in front of him and held your position, there wasn't much he could do.

Whether or not the Habs should have extrapolated that the guy would be exposed this bad eventually before giving him a long contract extension is something I'll leave you guys to debate but at this time, it doesn't look like he'll be in the league through the term of the deal.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

DDelicious out. Ha, perhaps Therrien didn't love him after all. Maybe he was just trying to recoup something on that 3.5 million investment they made on him and he simply had enough.

Thankfully, Therrien DOES make lineup changes when he sees players not performing up to par, with the exception of Bouillon.

 

[TorontoHabs90]

How has St Pierre not seen more time in the NHL? According to his stats, he has constantly put up impressive AHL numbers...
