GDT: Tampa @ Montreal, 7:30pm April 7

Figs need to win now, simpile

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Screwed him up?

This place sometimes..

By this place you mean playing for the Montreal Canadiens right?

Textbook case on how to stunt a good young player.

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

I though April fool's was last week? We're only losing to troll the Leafs right? We're not actually this bad right? RIGHT?

 

[Zalos]

Yeah, we should ignore how we screwed the guy up. Okay...

Don't worry, he'll be traded this summer. I'm pretty sure of that. You'll get your wish.

If someone outside of Galchenyuk can screw up Galchenyuk, then he will never go anywhere in this league. He has to step up.

Also, who says I want to trade him? I am on the side of those who wanted to keep all our young players. I never believed Bergevin would be dumb enough to trade Subban, but he did it. If he trades Galchenyuk too, I will be pissed. All I am saying here is that it is in Galchenyuk's hands to get himself going.

And how long ago did we put him on the wing?

And... why did we put him on the wing?

Who freaking cares if he's on the wing or center...That's not an excuse for what we're seeing right now

Is playing on the wing preventing him from skating or shooting?

This is complete nonsense...He's playing like crap, just say it.

It doesn't mean he'll always play like crap, because he won't...But calls things as they are.

Again. This game means nothing to us and everything to Tampa.

You mean like how Seguin stepped up after the Bruins mishandled him and he got traded? That's exactly what's going to happen with this guy by the way. He's going to go to some other club, they'll be smart enough to put him and keep him at center and he'll be a 70 point player.

**** the post

 

[sheed36]

No puck luck tonight.

 

[Simarino]

The atrocious PP and lack of offense will be the Habs downfall in the upcoming playoffs. Lack of skill doesn't help either.

When you have galchenyuk radulov Markov weber and pax on a PP, you have all the tools needed to have a good PP

 

[lamp9post]

To give him confidence and consider putting him back where he is most effective?

Chucky would be eaten alive if he played C in the playoffs.

People are just not able to besmirch golden boy.

 

[sampollock]

Chucky no matter on wing it centre, is not skating

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I care that he produces and he produces a lot better at center.

 

[417]

I agree that he's playing far from his best. People seem to dismiss the idea that he's still feeling the effects of his injury. He didn't forget how to play hockey.

He's a popular player...They get more rope around here

He's the chosen one for many...Which means he's not accountable for anything

 

[1909]

Scoring 30 goals when there's nothing to play for, doesn't mean much for me.

Not that I don't think he could score 30+ when it does matter.

But this game and his play the last dozen games has been putrid.

He looks like he's playing drunk[/QUOTE]

You're not far from truth....

 

[Stive Morgan]

Galchenyuk is going to blossom if we trade him. Don't give up on him yet.

A player going through a slump, or injury or whatever isn't helped by playing the forward position he's least comfortable with. It's the job of the coaches to help him with his confidence, not undermine it.

 

[sampollock]

Plus Chucky. Sucked on faceoffs

Except Seguin was always an elite skater, along with the skill. Galchenyuk doesn't have that. Don't hold your breath.

Pretty much. There are no excuses come playoffs.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

People are just not able to besmirch golden boy.

People are just not able to criticize their own team and how they've messed things up.

No one is disagreeing that he is playing badly but we are saying that it has a lot to do with coming back from back to back injuries and beibg moved to the wing on a line without any playmakers

And there's also a very clear agenda here now against him. Which happened against Subban.. it happens against anyone on this team who has skill.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Not sure why they played price. Rest him

They will tomorrow. Waite and Price decided to play so he can stay sharp. They didn't want him taking too many days off and go into the playoffs with any risk of rust.

 

[Hab-a-maniac]

Yeah it's 6 on 4 but they have free shots at an empty net and we give those up like crazy... soooo it's 5-2 incoming
