Vanek won't like his experience in MTL playing with Plekanec and Gionta.
Galchenyuk no PP time
Bourque benched is a good thing, now if he can only get Gionta off that 2nd ****ing line!!!

Yea, Terrible. Only tyin 3rd with Pleky on PP-points in forwards . You know that you dont need to be that effective along the boards in PP, the point in PP is to keep the puck and keep movin the puck until you score .
If MT is hell bent on Vanek with Pleks the only chance the line has is for Gio to be off of it.

The fact that you think board play doesn't have a role on the PP makes your whole point moot. Chuckie has 9 PP points which is good. The kid is talented and has a bright future... I'll never question that. But most of it was gathered when the PP was working.
Lately, the habs have problems entering and maintaining possession in the zone. Guess what that entails? Winning puck battles along the boards and entering the offensive zone. Two things Chuckie isn't doing very well right now.
Except both Vanek and Patchy are LWers...He'll love playing with DD and Patch.

Yea he can, but he said in the interview that he prefers to play LW, all his success has come as a LW. PP is different thought, you can mix it up in there, i really would like to see Vanek and Briere on the same PP. Im pretty sure it would work out given the history as said earlier.Vanek can play right wing, but I'd much prefer to give MaxPac a
chance there.

Guess what, the last and the only PP goal in the last four games was scored by Chuckie ...and you can double up the corner play in the PP, thats not an issue. Also Chuckie doesnt need to bring the puck to the offensive zone(if you think he is uncapable of doin so), or did you mean he cannot find himself to the offensive zone at all in PP ?

On the pp yes, I don't see them playing on a line together since they play the same side
Just get Gionta off that line, and play Gally with Pleks and Vanek
#Habs practice lines:
Pacioretty - Desharnais - Gallagher
Vanek - Plekanec - Gionta
Galchenyuk - Eller - Brière
Moen - White - Prust
About ****ing time Bourque got scratched.
Ya wayyyyyyyy over due for Bourque.
Im well aware he scored the last goal. But im also well aware of the times hes lost possession of the puck trying to enter the zone or win a battle along the boards... Agree to disagree and move on. No passive aggressive smileys needed
Makes no sense playing Gionta on the 2nd line with Pleks and Vanek. Throw Briere there and put Gionta on the 3rd line with Galchy and Eller.
