If Caufield doesnt play over this loser, I lose it...
He's not only disappearing in the postseason he's also disappearing in the important must win games during the season. He's always been this way with Detroit and Vegas. He was already old when he got here so i don't understand why some people are surprised.This is his 6th post-season and his 6th post-season disappearance. It's not a fluke at this point. He's not built for tough hockey.
Anyone blaming him is ridiculous. He's not a playoff player. Anyone expecting differently so of sudden is living in a fantasy world.
Tatar is the perfect example of a guy who can get you to the playoffs. But not one that can help you win once you get there.
If his contract reflects that, he's a perfectly solid player who should be benched come playoff time lol
Tatar should not be scratched. Not a great start but you don’t scratch a guy who led your team in scoring recently.
Next level asset management would have been trading away Danault and Tatar when their values were at an all time high. Alas, we’re here in a situation where they’ll be walking for nothing.I’m a Tatar fan but what a stupid move not to trade him in 2020. He was a peak value, we could have done a Pacioretty like trade.
They should have trade him and his two buddies Danault and Gallagher.

He never did with Wings either - except for one multipoint gameSo how many chances does he get in the playoffs to show up??...cuz he hasn't since he got to Vegas, let alone here...
The problem isn't having one or two of these players - you need them to get there. It's always having a bunch.Like Markov, Plekanec, Pacioretty, Gallagher, Danault..... the perfect player to keep the team away from the cup AND the can't miss draft picks and get nowhere.
We like building around those players in Montreal.
Time for Tuna to sit...........it's obvious, but who knows what the MB/DD duo will cook up next.If Caufield doesnt play over this loser, I lose it...
If that's the approach you're taking, you plan it ahead of time and deal them for assets. Losing for nothing is not good management.None of our pending ufas should be resigned. Go young with 22, poehling etc and cheaper FAs who bring something different to the table.
We should have traded him last season at the deadline. Terrible asset management once again by Bergy. So many players we lost for nothing where we could have traded them at the right time and get something valuable in return
He's getting played the least out of any player, 12 minutes average a game. Do you expect him to work miracles with what he's being given? Can't believe this fanbase is still so toxic after what happened to Drouin.
