GDT: You Gotta Believe: Habs @ Islanders 7pm (SN, RDS)

[Andrei79]

I think the dmen in this one are so much better than the dmen in 2012.

It's not even close to be honest.

 

[Nedved]

I chuckled reading the Tavares headline on tsn. He would be a dummy to come here. Just like it would be dumb to resign Plekanec.

 

[Pickles]

Games with no value, Plekanec no longer there -- how much more evidence is needed, Galchenyuk will never again be a center on this team so long as Bergevin remains GM.

This is the reason why most of us are willing to go to bat for Chucky. The kid was mismanaged from day 1. The fact that they won't even try him where he's been the most successful to the detriment of the success of the team shows what a spiteful pathetic little man Bergevin is.

 

[Nedved]

Can't tell if you're being serious or not

I believe

 

[Adam Michaels]

I got 6 guys who can be #1 dman in the top 10, and I'm still higher on Wahlstrom. If we got 5 and he is gone, I want to trade down to 8ish.

Wahlstrom is your first choice?

 

[Andrei79]

Is Galchenyuk will score again this season??? Drouin played poorly all season and he has only 2 less points and he played 5 less games..

Oufffff that means a lot.....those 2 underachievers are suppose to carry this bad team...

His board play is improving, his positioning is the best I've seen from him to the point he's actually been good defensively in the last 10 games. Even the bozos on RDS are taking note.

I can live with an offensive slump as he's getting chances, he's using dekes judiciously for once and he's been using his one timer in the slump more and more. The goals will come.

 

[SquiddFX]

Why does Niemi decide to be good when he comes here? Anyone know if Scrivens is available?

 

[ArtPeur]

Since the Isles missed on their 3 breakaways, they haven't done much

Edit. To be fair, Habs' D are playing very well to clear pucks and players in front of the net

 

[The Great Weal]

3rd. Dahlin, Svech, Wahlstrom.

I dont care much for Galchenyul at this point, but the fact he never got a good shot at C is ridiculous. I dislike this team very much.

 

[Nedved]

Habs d are shocked we can win puck battles in front of the net. Maybe Juulsen is going to be a solid guy for us. Need to see if he can keep this up into next year. Seems better than most of our guys.

Even with those 5 missed games, he's still had more overall TOI, and has averaged more PP minutes/game this season.

 

[The Great Weal]

It's not even close to be honest.

And I will still take Wahlstrom ahead of most of them. Not unrealistic to think he can be a 65 point player with the potential to hit 70+ imo.

 

[Bieber fever]

Inb4 winning streak and a 8-9th pick

 

[Andrei79]

Funny eh, add Juulsen and Reilly, play Mete and suddenly we can move the puck out of our zone.

If anything, I hope the way the team has been playing since adding the younger players makes management take notice: this is a young mans league and you need both speed and puck skills.

Even Benn/Alzner look slightly less awful.

The only reason I could see Tavares come to MTL is if Price/Weber go out of their way to recruit him.

 

[GREMLIN]

Soon gonna be time to start threads about who’s the better Reilly on the main boards.

Has he been good?

 

[No More Subban]

Byron's tank attempt right there

Seems like it's destined to happen, doesn't it?

 

[mariolemieux66]

Montreal needs to get a elite player that doesnt mind the Montreal circus, Tavares isn't one. If Price didnt sign last summer i dont think he resigns with us. Weber doesn't want to be here and Tavares will pick an American team.

Please don't

Over Zadina ? Heh, interesting.

I love Zadina, he's so efficient with the space you give him. And those hands, omg those hands. He literally scares the opposing Ds and goalies when he's got the puck.

Wahlstrom's skills are elite though, no doubt. I really don't understand why some think this is a weak draft. I have potential first line players almost up to pick 15 and the top 11 could all be top 5 in most years.

I have potential top 3Ds in the late first and guys like Berggren, who I don't understand why he's not hyped more, might end up picked in the 2nd.

Hey man the mock is still going, don't go blowing Berggren up like that

 

[Andrei79]

I'll give props to BargainBin, I like Reilly's game much more than the garbage he's picked up in the last few years.

Hopefully it's the same with Valiev.
