They didn't return to the states because of their beliefs. Petry said they returned so his wife could be closer to her/his family so they can help out with the new baby and the other kids.

Stop inventing stuff
beg to differ many of her old instagram stories are on twitter no invention here

I cannot emphasize this strongly enough.

Before last season, Petry's family and their immersion in the community was pretty much what you should hope for with every good player that's signing here.

The treatment they've got in return last season was not only despicable, but also asinine from long-term perspective.
agree, no one should be bullied or abused however much was brought on by her social media activity.
 
I just read a article from Josh Yohe, who is the senior writer for The Athletic for the Pittsburgh Penguins, and he had this to say about Petry.

"Petry, along with his considerable talent, is a big and fairly nasty defenseman. So, he made sense. The Penguins have targeted him all offseason and finally got their man."

So when did Petry suddenly become a "fair nasty defenseman"? :dunno:

Even though I'm not a subscriber I can still for some reason read the Athletic article below where I just read this.

OMG! Someone needs to show this joker the footage of Kassian running over Montembeault in front of Petry and Petry doing absolutely nothing about it.
 
As a side note - it wasn’t only a Julie Petry issue it seems:

- Romanov’s wife (Sofia Krasovskaya) left Quebec shortly after Xmas for Florida, didn’t want the hassle associated w mandates & never returned

- Poehling’s girlfriend (Jae Borgen) also headed back home to North Dakota same timeframe for same issues

- Xavier Ouellet’s wife (Liz Ann) headed back home to Michigan for same reasons including scathing instagram post on Canadian mandates

All 3-players have moved on from Habs org to US locales…
Romanovs wife was at games in February and later she did return check her instagram
 
I am quite relieved that Petry and his contract are gone. No, while I was never a big fun, I don't hate the player. But at 34 soon to be 35 his contract was a clear and present danger. Last season it was scary enough that I thought he could be collapsing and we were stuck with the contract but luckily he somewhat recovered later in the season. Getting rid of this contract is the most important aspect of the trade IMO. And I can't complain about getting back a top 4 puck moving Dman in his prime capable of scoring 30 points who is not grossly overpaid.

Alright I'll give you my take once and for all that what I believed at the time and the vibe I got from the Nashville fans that Subban was always third on the totem pole of their best D.

As far as the playoffs, he was great. But what I said and I meant it is that Weber was more important in our Cup run than Subban was in their cup run. Because they were more deep as a team than we were.
Except Nashville with Weber never, ever, even had a cup run. Subban was the difference when they had their run. No Subban, no cup run for Nashville like every other year without him.
 
I just read Pronman's take on the trade and he once again proved himself to be the most prolific moron in online hockey media......he listed Poehling as a smart center but not a great skater lol. He does this all the time, he consistently grossly misjudges players attributes.

People need to ridicule him more openly so that the Athletic considers firing the tool.

Sounds like he read Elite Prospects. The first line about him says he makes up for speed with smarts lol

There are so many of these self proclaimed scouts that are just nonathletic losers who just make up crap about players and regurgitate each others mindless evaluations.......looking for good amateur scouting evaluations online is akin to looking for peer reviewed Covid articles on Facebook. It is just more frustrating that a well known fraud from his days on HFBoards is earning a living and influencing others from a large platform like The Athletic.

I wish I could write for The Athletic or some similar outlet. I used to love writing. Went to school for journalism too - which confirms how big a pile of shit it all is. Get two quotes and write a story. Who cares about context, lol.

I loved being the opposite of that and doing thorough research for everything I wrote. Hell, a ton of my posts here used to take me an hour because I would do tons of research before posting.

So I get it. When people like that, who clearly write to a large audience, with poorly researched untrue facts.... it bugs me.
 
I liked Petry and I think is offense will be missed for at least 2 years, but what he showed ;ast year was scary. The non-commitment was high and surprising in a creepy way. I guess family problems and Price Weber Edmundson not being there didn't help, but man. Good luck in Pitt !

Everything is set in stone: Gallagher is done, but Petry was distracted. We'll see if he could still be a 6M$ defenseman, or if he was only looking good in Julien system.
 
Still seeing some Habs fans on twitter claiming that Hughes “lost” the Petry deal.

I have to believe that it has to do with how they view Matheson and how much they know about him. I’ve even seen some say that Matheson’s season last year was an anomaly.

Maybe too many of them bought into the rosy returns peddled by pundits in the last 6 months.
