GDT: Trade Deadline II :: Everyone is mad edition

"I do not think about things I do not think about".

I am what I am - Popeye
You gotta do what you gotta do - unknown
It's not over until it's over - who cares

I call it cretin logic. There are a lot of expressions like these.

 

[Guilliam]

Wouldn't Mitchell-Flynn-Weise make more sense on the 4th line. Let Mitchell take draws if he's better but then everyone is on their correct side.

Mitchell, Flynn and Weise are all righthanded...

 

[Analyzer*]

TSN still counting he false MacDonald for a 7th trade.

 

[Habsawce]

Mitchell, Flynn and Weise are all righthanded...

Yeah, I had a brain fart there. Realized it after I typed it and couldn't be bothered to fix it.

Thanks though.

I don't know, I have confidence. That being said I actually like MT so I can understand how we will disagree on the subject.

Okay you like MT what will he do if our top line is a bust again this year.
Treat it like our PP and keep trotting them out there?

I'm seriously afraid MT can't take us much further for lack of flexibility...

MB was playing Zero Wing last night. It then came to him....


All Your Grind are Belong to Us!

That's my biggest fear too.

 

[MTL-rules]

I feel like Gilbert will be the odd man out. At least to start the playoffs.

I don't know he was really solid the last couple of weeks...

Gonchar got experience, but that nasty concussion might take a toll on him...

I think they'll start with Emelin and Gilbert... and almost have Gonchar on the bench has an assistant coach

 

[Phenom]

Pacioretty - DD - Gallagher
Eller - Plekanec - Galchenyuk

Two players aren't good enough to be in the top 6, and two players are playing out of position. One player happens to be in both those categories.

Our top 6 is pretty hurting. Not a knock on MB because obviously there just wasn't a market for top 6 forwards, but our top 6 is a weak point for this team.

I agree that Gallagher and DD aren't top 6 materials. That's why I said "ain't that bad" because of Patches, Chuckie and Pleky. But yeah, we're two TOP 6 wingers away from greatness.

I get what you are saying but at the end of the day if the first line is a bust yes MT has a certain level of responsibility. That being said it is up to each individual player to step up and fill the gaps, we aren't the only team who doesn't have an amazing offense. We have CP, that is a huge advantage. We will see in due time.

I still love this team, I just wanted more today. Luckily Bergevin is running the Habs and not me. He said this would be a transition year but with the season Price is having why not go all in? It's a shame to waste it, I watched Roy from day one and I tell you that Price is in the same category or higher. I wanted a goal scorer but maybe the price was way to high, who knows? Go Habs!!!

Gallagher is on pace for 50 points and he isn't a top 6 material.

Things you read on this board...

according to Pierre McGuire there were a lot of rumors that the Habs were trying to get Anisimov. Suggests that Eller might have gone the other way.

 

[shawdowmaker]

The more assets the better Going into the playoffs!! Role players make the difference!!

 

[CupInSIX]

McGuire says Eller for Anisimov was a big rumor going around

Tough call particularly those two.
Gonch has a far better head for hockey.
Gilbert is super competitve and thrills me with his give away take back type of play.

Yup. He also says it's likely we'll revisit the trade in the summer.

Bobby Mac tweeted that he was interested in what would happen wtih Eller, Anisimov and Berglund.

I told my buddy a 3 way deal.

Lol the clowns spent 3 months prattling on about how Eller was being shopped.

They're just covering their ***** now.

LOL
Eller was rumoured going just about everywhere!

 

[99GoHabsGo99]

 

[Richiebottles]

Anisimov in the summer would be nice

 

[OldCraig71]

Lol the clowns spent 3 months prattling on about how Eller was being shopped.

They're just covering their ***** now.

I don't think he ever was either, Eller is a good player that has had to do some heaving lifting at the sacrifice of stats. He is a good player and I am glad he is still here.

 

[Redux91]

At what point does it have to prepare us for the return of DLR in Hamilton? Can they actually do that? I think it's impossible....I do believe that Therrien will lie down in front of DLR car to make it impossible for him to leave but.....possible?

In french, bergevin said pretty much DLR is going nowhere. and that was expected
