I think his source is Crims.

That wouldn't surprise me. Crims is in the know.

I'm not surprised. At least if squirrels decide to nest in there, he has all the appropriate medications to vaccinate them at his shop.

Jaromir Jagr's camp no longer feels that the #habs have interest in the veteran winger. However, others are said to be making offers.

I thought Briere can play RW?

Any center can play wing Pete, it's wingers that have a hard time playing center.
Too many centers is not an issue to worry about, too many poopty centers that can't win faceoffs is a different story.

This is the biggest reason I was hoping for Lecavalier. Would have been a big step towards winning a few draws.

Very true. Also, that's why Gordon would have been a good fit for the Habs...DD couldn't win a faceoff to save his life, and it's not like Eller is any good in the faceoff circle

He actually was better in 2012-2013 than in 2011-2012. 50% vs 49,4%. Not that good, but not anywhere near as bad as you make it out to be. Find a better angle to whine.

Problem is, as soon as he "wins" a faceoff, the Habs go shorthanded because he's usually on his ass right after the draw.

So, let me recap...


Desharnais is terrible on faceoffs.

Wait, he's actually almost on par with Plekanec...

GUYS, DESHARNAIS IS USELESS BECAUSE HE FALLS ON HIS ASS AFTER WINNING A FACEOFF!
