well good season Habs!

Next time put the seat on.

He said he likes the big bone....never knew what he meant until now.

Bourque was the Habs' best forward, by far.
- _nay_

Bergevin got a good indication of who can perform when needed. Apart from those who were injured, a lot of guys didn't raise their level of play.

i hope Desharnais is sent packing. what a brutal signing that could end up being.
- scotch_tape

He is painful to watch. The smurf era needs to stop.
Enough with Gionta. The hell with Dumont.

Getting rid of the Cole contract was a good move.
Getting good production from Ryder AND a 3rd pick was good.
That said, no way he re-signs here this summer.

thank god

He worked hard for 1 period in the entire series.

(frank)ing guy can fire a puck, but he gives zero help getting the puck out or in to the other teams end..He's like Brett Hull on welfare

thank god

WHAT A STEAL!!

it's all well and good to be a great transition team, as Montreal is, but if you rely on transition to score the bulk of your goals in the playoffs as we just found out, you're (frank)ed.

Pacioretty = Latendresse
Price = Fleury
Desharnais = Gomez
Moen = Czerkawski


His signings aren't looking too good right now.

if that was a direction they wanted to move away from, i don't think they would have signed DD long term and re-upped Bouillon with Plekanec and Gallagher aready here long term. i hope i'm wrong but i don't see an aversion to small players on Bergevin's part.

DD/Cole/Patches should have been kept together..I know it was nice getting rid of Coles contract...but he is a good player...20 game rough patch at the beginning. I'm sure if Therrien/Bergeron sat down and pretended to care about him they could have got him rolling again IMO - he has way more upside then Ryder - more physical - goes to the net - easy for me to say now that the season is over...but I believed that when the trade went down. Unless him and Subban didn't see eye to eye than the traded need to be done.

Breakdown of this series:

Game 1: Anderson > Price
Game 2: Habs win
Game 3: MacLean > Therrien
Game 4:
Game 5: Posts+Momentum > Habs

Many Habs players deserved a better outcome for 3 of those loses I think but at some point, if you keep playing the coach's faves without taking into account who is actually playing well, you're going to get caught. coughcoughtravismoencough.

Fixed.

a veritable points frenzy in the pool yesterday with CHI in 5 coming in.

a few Ottawa picks dispersed here and there.

Stormey finally on the board.

Pacioretty = Latendresse
Price = Fleury
Desharnais = Gomez
Moen = Czerkawski

czerkowski was supposed to be a top 6. Moen should be a 4th liner. Unfortunately, he's forgotten what made him a good 4th liner.

DD

Price can still develop. Fleury has always sucked
Pac, man I hope he needs surgery

if that was a direction they wanted to move away from, i don't think they would have signed DD long term and re-upped Bouillon with Plekanec and Gallagher aready here long term. i hope i'm wrong but i don't see an aversion to small players on Bergevin's part.
- scotch_tape

Nothing against Bouillon as he doesn't play 'small' - same with Gallagher
Plekanec deserves better support.

wonder if at some point next year they start slowly moving Galchenyuk to center. Still think he's a bit young but it would be nice to have a bigger body there at least sometimes.

Plek vanishes when the going gets tough. I'm starting to become more okay with trading him...

I would like to change a few of my picks.
Please PM me the procedure.

They already started when Eller got injured. He looked good.

- muffin_man

yeah he has a tendency to disappear but I think he's once of those guys who always could have been one of the top-5 2nd line centers in the league but too small to be a first line center and DEFINITELY too small to be the 2nd line center behind David Desharnais.

The habs' problem imo is the same as it's been for almost 2 decades and it comes down to size down the middle.
