That top 3 from the draft sure looks pitiful doesn't it? Yakupov, Murray and Galchenyuk.....

Fun series to watch - Gallagher is one tough/ feisty mofo - 12 draft - lindholm @ 6

No. You dont get it.


Lundqvist was better than Price the same way Zuccarello or Nash were better than Pacioretty and Galchenyuk.


It's a really really simple concept.

He stopped 94% of the shots. Patches didn't score on 30 shots or whatever it was. Its actually a lot different. If you can't win when you get a .940 save %, its your goal scorers fault. Not the goaltending.

What a mess

Seriously, I feel almost nothing. I am mostly very curious to see what can be done to upgrade that team.

Subban says he feels "a whole lot closer" to winning a Stanley Cup after today's trade. #Preds

What about Lundqvist sv% ?


Why did you leave that out of the equation?

Price's fault!

What's the point? your sweet Carey would allow another one.

C'est un peu un marasme.

Not good enough to win, not bad enough to tear down. ..



They're basically in purgatory like the St Louis Blues and we'll probably be having this same conversation at this time of the year for the next 50 years.

Ya, Hank was great. Its the players job to solve that problem. Carey can't do anything about that.

Even if he's as good as his fans want us to believe, there's no way we can give him $9-12 million. Our offense is poopty as it is with him at 6.5.

Hopefully it happens for him. After the way he was treated by Bergevin and Therrien I hope he wins it with Nashville.

Good trade, lmao..

Duchene would not make the Habs better than Galchenyuk IMO.
We missed on way too many #1 centres, and drafted too many Rory Fitzpatricks.
Stinger said it best, there is nothing coming up.
I expect a very difficult summer for Bergevin.
- Not_Yan

It really shouldn't be difficult at all. It's clear as day from the last few playoffs that this core is insufficient to get the job done. Unless Bergevin discovers a magic way to turn poop into gold, there is nothing to be done to make this team better in the short term to contend due to their lack of trade chips (except Sergachev who they refuse to trade for help). Thus, they should look to rebuild. Oh and no way in (frank) is Radulov gonna want to stay after that, so they're gonna be even weaker next year.

Purgatory, yes. That's the word.

Was Nash worried about the slump too?
- pete26

No Nash was actually worried about providing offence, not ruining his manicure

I'm confused. Oh well.

he's the only asset they have to fill the holes upfront. plus he was just nominated for the Vezina!!

- Pecafan Fan

Coming into the game Price was 93.8% and Hank was 94.4%. After this game it will be around 93.6% and 94.7%.

Bottom line, Price played well enough for the team to win if they actually scored. Every game except game 2 NYR finished with more scoring chances and more high danger scoring chances than the Habs. Did Price play perfectly, no. He played well enough to win a series if anyone on this team could actually generate offense.

Got in a fight with a (frank)in rookie and called it a night...

I barely watched half the games this season because I hate the make Up of the team.

Next season, I have to believe it Will be more of the same... Meaning I'll watch even less games.

They are médiocre and bland as (frank). Terrible mix.

that's where I disagree. they have Price who could bring help upfront. let Lindgren play

I hated that chant too. Very dumb.

So tell me the teams that are willing to trade a lot for a 9-12 million dollar goalie
