we should maybe trade Pacioretty while the getting is good he is not a good choice as captain and yea he will bring points but too soft now

Not sure what the result will be from this game but I think it's safe to say that Montreal has played 4 bad games in a row now.

The team is tough to watch right now.

Bad I can accept.

But the way they're playing is brutal, bottom-feeder hockey, and even that, I wonder when's the last time a bottom feeder lost by 10 goals.

Habs are playing smart passing plays and good defence. Shots on goal are dangerous and creative. Radulov and Galchenyuk must be the best duo out there in the league!

One of DD, Plek, Markov, Beaulieu would be nice to be traded for a prospect in a deal or a top Dman or top Center/Winger, This team is missing an offensive spark and has a horrible defense

It's so easy to suppress Pacioretty. Be physical against him and he's gone. Add the fact that he doesn't have a #1 centerman to feed him the puck and you've got a worthless line against physical teams.

Radu and Galchenyuk are playing great, to no one's surprise. On the other hand, this team looks more and more like last season's offensively anemic squad with Price to bail them out.

GM's generally wait until the 20 game mark to accurately assess what they are working with. It will be interesting if he does anything.

for the record my dad called it with Pacioretty 3 seasons ago - he is like Nostradamus of Pacioretty or something. I told him he was crazy to want to get rid of Pacioretty

Look how our 5 best forwards so far this season are creating chances (Radulov, Galchenyuk, Gallagher, Mitchell, Danault) and it's like night and day compared to the others. And yet, Therrien loves to roll his 4 lines. The guy rarely shortens his bench or ups the ice time of the hottest players. And if he did, he'd make sure Patches and/or DD were involved somehow. Even if they've been stinking out the joint for days!

If the habs don't start bringing a better effort then things are going to start going south soon.

Not when you have Price in nets. Price = Superman and Therrien/Bergevin and the team are hanging on to his cape for dear life. I also doubt anyone will be finding Price's kryptonite anytime soon, so don't expect them to crash for a while.

I know he must be watching the leafs game or something lol

Gotta say I'll take the Leafs forward group and coaching over ours right now. At least they are fun to watch. Habs forwards should be better than this but they are playing too stiff. It's like they are being held back offensively.

Pacioretty is like that guy that goes to work, takes 5-6 coffee breaks and looks at his watches all day waiting for his shift to be done and go back home.

Pacioretty, DD and Plekanec should have seen the press box at least once if the coach was not in love with them.
