Great playoffs from him. Best C for MTL easily.

I would have agreed with Shafterbenraide last year. He indeed struggled a lot against Ottawa, and I was inclined to say that he couldn't be effective in the playoffs due to his size.

But he proved he could do it. Was the best Habs forward in game 7 against Boston. His 3.25M contract is looking good.

I have some friends living in Chicoutimi who are following the Saguenéens. They were telling me that he was also beginning the season slowly, but would get better as the season went on and peak during the playoffs. I don't care if he sucks for the first 20 games next year if he still gets 50 points in the last 60 games.

Now we all get to focus on what Subban's contract will look like

Congrats on a great year Habs fans.

With them gone, We have Pacioretty-Galchenyuk-Gallagher next year as first line.
Time to give Galchenyuk a lot more ice time. And even if we suck, we have McDavid waiting at the draft

We need to move forward with our rookies. I like for example how Columbus is improving. Their best players are all around 20 yrs old. And they will be adding Rychel this year. We need to start doing the same and built a contender. Bigger, faster and younger.

so 30th? We get McDavid

LA in 5

NY in 7, excruciatingly boring games.

Yea, you dont build a contender from 2 wins from the final by trading away your entire core.

Beaulieu, Tinordi, PK, Pacioretty, Gallagher, Galchenyuk, Emelin, Price, Tokarski, are all still developing and will continue to improve. They will all be with the team next year (except maybe tokarski). Gionta, Vanek, Murray, Bouillon are all gone. Weaver probably gone.

Congrats on a great year Habs fans.

smoke and mirrors. we suck and will get McDavid in 2015..

So a goal better?, ok.

News flash:

The forwards didn't score a god damn goal tonight Scott.

They lost 1-0 hardly Dustin's fault.

So Price keeps it 0-0?

They gonna play until......the Rangers finally score?

Montreal needs more guys like Gallagher. Need to crash the net. Pacioretty is just a floater that waits for a perfect pass so he can have a one timer.

I'm willing to bet it starts with an 8.

We re (frank)ed
If dion got 7x7

Galchenyuk needs to play at centre next season.

It's coming. They've put together a great stockpile of prospects in my opinion, but you have to transition from one generation to the next over the course of several seasons and as positions/prospects are ready.

This is like waiting 3 days to make jokes after a celeb dies.

I coujld see that. And I'd agree with it

What core? Plek? Markov?

Our core are Subban, Price, Gallagher, Pacioretty, Galchenyuk. Our young guys.

Galchenyuk a poopty winger? Time for Plek to be traded and get us some young guy in return. Bergevin has made some good trades, lets see what he can do this summer.
- ShafterBenRaide

yea, the 3 games he had with galchenyuk are way more important than the 10 with gionta and however many poopty games of Vanek

NUKE THE BC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I hope a team doesn't offer $3M to Weise. Put liquid paper on Moen's contract and give it to him.

so 30th? We get McDavid

With price and subban, this team won't be a lottery team.
