If you’re looking to find the root of Max Pacioretty’s blossoming leadership on the Canadiens, you’d do well to start in a Connecticut maternity ward just before Christmas last year.

I don't like him... but it's true that Price got his poop together when he got hooked up with his ex and she moved with him in Montreal. Might be true.

A bot has more personality than him 'tho.

your comments about Pacioretty are not going to be well-received here Eric!!

why not?

i think it's more important to have as much size at centre as opposed to the wing. like if you've got a line with a shrimp on it, as is usually the case in Montreal, i think it's better to have a big centre, big winger and small winger as opposed to a small centre with 2 big wingers.

If the consensus (in here at least) is that DD always ends up on his ass, being worked on the boards may make that worse.

a lot of guys on this thread just don't like him

small sample size so far but it seems like Desharnais on the third line is just a much more natural fit and he's playing effectively.

Heard on the radio this morning that Desharnais was shopped by the habs in a player for player deal.

Might be an issue in the long run, but I agree that there is no need to change it if it's working.

Montreal's big need is a second pairing dman. but i don't know if teams are going to give those players up right now... i wonder if Arizona trades Michalak. is he any good still? where's Adam French you need you him?

did you see Don Cherry Sat? blamed the Flames problems solely on the reduced roles for their enforcers.

That's what i was thinking. And it might be a good fit for both teams since Vermette is on the go.

Michalek would be the perfect guy to play with emelin.

The skit itself may be benign, but the practice is a stark example of the incredible ignorance prevalent in this province when it comes to cultures other than their own

They would have made the playoffs if they had Kevin Westgarth.

Stood in for somebody on friday in a league with a caliber a notch or two higher than I had ever faced. Showed combativity and a razor-sharp focus, and turned in a great game to help my team win
