Boo! BOOOO!

Montreal


First team is:

Koivu
Kovalev
Plekanec
Weber
Markov
Price

Second team is:
Suzuki
Pacioretty
Gallagher
Subban
Souray
Theodore

What do you all think? Personally, I wouldn't have Plekanec ahead of Pacioretty or Suzuki and while I never liked Kovalev, I get it. I'd also have Petry over Souray.

Weber over Subban is insane.

Subban had 55 playoff games with the Habs and picked up 38pts. I think he led the Habs in playoff points every season too. He was a huge contributor and for a longer time and hit higher highs personally.

Pacioretty should be on the first team over Plekanec, you're right.
Souray hit higher highs than Petry so I get that one.

I think Weber and Subban are pretty interchangeable (and I guess so did a couple of GMs). I'd PROBABLY have Subban ahead but I think it's too close for me to really care.

what a pathetic collection of talent for 25 years. Show what a failure the Molson family is. The odd stud like Suzuki and Price. The first round talent this team passed lol

Price and Suzuki - sure
but for 25 years ?

K , that's my negativity for the day

We actually had more offensive zone time than they did. We had more high danger shots. We had more shots. We weren't out-played. Their D gave up quality opportunities. We had a lot of chances.

They got a couple of PP goals, a few bounces, and a hot goalie. That was the difference.

The difference was goaltending.

After reading this post from @MarkovsKnee last night, I was able to digest our loss a little more easily. We got goalied. Let's get them tonight!

However, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, IIRC we seem have a tough time against Quick. I really don't want to see last night's scenario repeat itself again :mad:

I love the picks. Plekanec always ahead of Paccioretty. Suzuki will be on the 1st team for the next quarter century. ;)

Weber wasn’t even that great for Montreal. Having him over Subban is insane.

This is the only debatable one. The others are no brainers for me.

The right players were picked, I'd say. The order doesn't really matter.




I don't believe you, lol

Pretty much. I hope we can get them to the Bell Center!!

Agree with D and G.

Fine with forwards, but might go:
1. Kovalev, Suzuki, Koivu

2. Pleks, Max, Gally

First 5 listed in order of highest single season point total with habs.

CC could soon replace Gally here.
 
Amazing players. Amazing teams.

We took those beautiful years for granted. I want those beautiful years to comeback again.

No question.

Plekasex vs Paciosoftie

Pleks with tough matchups, PK time. Stick him with any linemates like Moen and the 7th D … not a problem. Pissed off opponent like Marchand. Had a couple seasons with better totals than Max’s max.

Souray.....

That guy was a pylon.

Ok he did 26 goals in 07 but that season he was there 3 times in the top 10 of the best goals of the year in the NHl.....on Crosby's goal, Spezza and Briere.

The dude was awful in his own zone

Whatever..

Weber over PK is laughably predictable, and I think Hamrlik was better overall than Souray even though Souray had the better 1 season
