GDT: Mtl v. SJ: II

[Lshap]

If he gets benched it will remind me of the Briere signing. Couldn't figure that out at all. We sign him and MT refuses to play him. That's fine btw, it was a bad signing. But just surprised to see MT bench a guy they just signed.

Same thing here only this time it cost us a really good prospect.

People wonder why I'm always talking about MT.... this is a good example. We just took a step back because our coach doesn't understand or appreciate skilled players. He has no idea what to do with them. Sekac looked like a big step forward for this team. We found a top six young player out of thin air. And now he's gone...

Like I said, I'll wait and see... but it really doesn't look good right now and I hate that we lost Sekac.

We both know it takes way more time to evaluate a trade with two 22-year-olds, but I'll admit that right now I'm having serious buyer's remorse. We really better hope DSP has the character Bergevin covets, or else the pressure might start to make it worse for him.

You can run but you can't glide

Plekanec is the worst tonight.

He's been One-good One-bad for some time now. I don't think anything's up with him but Mr Consistency has been inconsistent in February.

 

[ninjagaiden]

I really hoped PAP would be traded yesterday. He doesn't do anything good on the ice. Uhh

He also just came back from consecutive concussions but Okay.

 

[Redux91]

Glad to see I'm not the only one unimpressed with DSP

its more then just the underhwlemence of DSP tho...

its all of us combining into a single positive opinion...that Sekac was a breath of fresh ****ing air, a godsend almost, someone who looked REALLY good out there even if he wasnt scoring..

he was the TALK of the offseason AND training camp...

and hes evaporated into thin air, replaced by someone who looks the complete opposite of him out there ...its just

its a gut wrenching feeling, knowing we had someone like sekac, and that hes gone because of another thing we as fans have almost all united in opinion on : that therriens a ****ing moron ..

now sekacs gone and thats that.

 

[Habs]

Worst game I have seen all year, what an ugly piece of **** to watch.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Habs read their press clippings and it went to their heads. they weren't prepared to compete and our smaller centers are getting run over. DSP hasn't looked bad but I think as Hrudey said on HNIC, he's out of shape. Might consider playing at a lesser weight to improve his foot speed. He's only 22

 

[Adriatic]

Eller as looked better to me than both DD and Pleks combined tonight.

So I guess they're all in playoff mode!

 

[Habit11]

I'm pretty sure this is what we've seen tonight so far:

Eller Plek Galch
Galch Plek Weise
Galch Plek PAP
Prust DLR DSP
Eller DLR DSP
Eller DLR Weise
PAP MM Weise
Prust MM DSP
Prust MM Weise


So yeah, expect a few more.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Moar DD.

 

[MaxDummy]

We all like to ***** on DD but Plekanec and Eller have been pretty bad as well. We currently don't have a center playing well.

Edit: well, DLR has been the best but that's a problem.

Well... Eller is not playing center.

A bunch of monkeys on HFHabs have previously said that Galchenyuk is worth as much as Ryan Johansen. And also that Hall and Galchenyuk have equal value.

It's as if they only see what they want to see with this kid. He's good, he's our best young player, but he's not tearing the world apart and if he was a 1st overall pick he'd be rather disappointing.

That's Therrien's fault more than Galchenyuk's though. I've been very happy with the way Chuck's played. But he's in a stupid system, on the wing, 2nd line behind a freaking midget.... He should be much more productive than he is and when MT is finally shown the gate I expect him to blossom. Actually I expect him to blossom regardless, it's just taking longer than it should.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

That terrible pass from patch is a perfect example of how everything has gone wrong in this game.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Powerforwards take longer to develop and DSP is after all a powerforward.

Only three years and year number 4 is typically when they explode, if not sooner. He shows no sign of such a explosion.

 

[Kimota]

I know PAP sucks but he at least seems to be running his mouth tonight. We need some pesting.

 

[Finnhabs]

True. Confidence is key. But when you are acquired by a team, if there's something you can't lack is confidence. You want to show that new team that they did the right choice. Somehow, right now, it's really as if DSP just can't. Doesn't seem lazy, do work his butt off. But he's just not reading the play right now.

Well he did said in his 1st interview that the neutral zone defendin completely differs from Anaheim. In Anaheim you were in the same place all the time where in Montreal you react to situation. So its adjustin.

 

[Lshap]

Petry's playing like the only guy who isn't jet-lagged!

Bosoms at home in California. Home of the DD's

 

[sheed36]

MT juggling the lines Bartlett said. Except the first line though.

 

[ninjagaiden]

Stop collapsing, cover those damn points and let Carey see the damn puck. Please.

 

[kovaless]

Can our guys please try and accept a pass and face forward. Keep getting passes with our backs turned.

 

[Redux91]

Big fan of your posts you nailed it. Sekac was a fantastic possession guy that on some nights was the only guy winning the battles in the corners and along the boards. To give up on him after 50 games played was just premature. MB rarely makes a bad trade but this one was awful.

it was just an aweful feeling to hear Sekac had been traded, especialy because of a coach who didnt know how to use him,...gut wrenching

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

That's Therrien's fault more than Galchenyuk's though. I've been very happy with the way Chuck's played. But he's in a stupid system, on the wing, 2nd line behind a freaking midget....

I know.

I know, I know, I know.

But we're going to the dance with the girl that brought us, and that's Therrien. So our players better perform under Therrien and force his hand. If Galchenyuk is as good as these naive Habs fans want to think, then he'd be forcing Therrien's hand. HE HASN'T.

We don't have a complicated system - it's literally a basic chip-and-chase. He's a young player and he's getting better - but he's not Taylor Hall. No way.

 

[nyhabsfan]

Love Gallagher, but that first 15 seconds of the 3rd is why he isn't a first line RW... just take a look.
