yes the offense has been the main concern all season. The one piece that was brought in actually helped but the rest was a mess.

when it get sto the point where you're inserting Brian Flynn in the lineup to get more offense than you get from Mitchell you know you're in a world of trouble.


Beaulieu was a mess, Jordie Benn turned back into Jordie Benn and Petry had a decent series but I think he took shooting lessons from Craig RIvet "aim for the oopponent's shinpads"

I wouldn't be as concerned if the year had a bunch of promising prospects ready to come into the line up and produce. That doesn't appear to be the case.

purgatory.

I just didn't see a ton of positives in this series aside from Lehkonen stepping up. I think Gallagher had a good series but no point production. Radulove looked good but who knows if he's back.

Price played well but I still think he was outplayed by Lundqvist.

defense was a mess under a strong forecheck.

forwards didn't score

So to summarize Habs had a great season and we had fun watching them..

Yes and this is why we wish it could have continued.



edit: I don't think asp had a lot of fun watching them by the sound of it.

Radulov is going to the highest bidder. Not sure if the Habs have the cap space if they want to resign price and patches.
- cburgess

why would they want to resign patches?

My guess ie because without his goals in the regular season we don't get to see him bust out in the playoffs each spring.

Original quote was don't know if habs want to resign Radulov at the expense of Pacioretty's new contract.

I'd say pay Radulov and trade Pacioretty for another offensive minded player.

teams should be able to afford two offensive minded players.

the big deciding factor here is Price. you have to resign him because a) he's very good and b) you get nowhere close in terms of a return for a goalie compared to what he brings to the team. The issue is how much of your cap space you're going to give him.


I don't see a ton of one-on-one forward for forward trades going on. Habs don't have much else to give, not a lot of prospects so the draft picks are valuable.

Lindgren bro, cheaper and hasn't proven yet that he isn't as good in the playoffs

apparently he will show more CHaracter than Price so yes it's a win-win

I actually think that Montreal and Vancouver make great trading partners. I think Montreal could get the Sedin twins for a package containing Galcehenyuk.

They could afford 2 offensive players if they weren't paying plekanek 6 mil a season to play on the 3rd line.

Same amount of stolen nhl playoff games this year. He also had the same amount of goals as pacioretty and galchenyuk, so they won't need them either

so the night I got hurt, the rink took my gear bag and kept it on the side along with my stick.

a few days later mrs. dt went to the rink to get my gear and my car which had stayed in the parking lot. She was accompanied by her brother so she could drive my car back home.

It's worth mentioning here that she HATES driving my car and since her and her brother will usually find the absolutely most complicated way of getting anything done, I can only assume that it never even crossed their minds to have him drive the truck back and her his car since it would have been too simple.


anyway the phone conversation went like this when she called me from the rink in her usual state of panic


(all the bro-in-law comments are just screaming in the background)


dt: hello

mrs. dt: OMG OMG OK WHICH STICK IS IT?!?!? OMG OMG

dt: it's a black and white Easton S19 with an Aucoin curve.

mrs. dt: OMG A WHAT?!?!!? WHAT COLOUR?!?!?!

dt: black Easton S19 with an Aucoin curve.

bro-in-law: NO WORRIES I'LL FIND IT NO WORRIES!!!!!!!!

dt: you found it?

mrs. dt: OMG RELAX THERE'S LIKE A MILLION STICKS HERE OMG OMG OMG

dt: ok ok

bro-in-law: DON'T WORRY DAN NO PROBLEM WE GOT IT

...

bro-in-law: WHAT'S THE CURVE AGAIN!?!?!?!?

dt: Aucoin

mrs. dt: WHO?!?!?! WHAT?!?!?!? WHAT'S THAT?!?!?!?

dt: the curve... just tell your brother it's the curve it's written at the top

bro-in-law: NO WORRIES DAN I GOT THIS NO WORRIES.







anyway this went on for like 10 minutes until I didn't really want the stick anymore but a couple of weeks ago when I was finally able to move around again I looked in the back of the truck and pulled out a black and white S19, about a foot too short with a zetterberg curve.

last week I had to go back to that rink for my kid so I brought it back and asked if they had another one. they looked around and couldn't find it.

the lady from the rink took my name down in this old notepad and said they'd call if they found it which I interpreted as meaning dude your stick is gone get lost. I left the other one there since it was useless.


anyway to my surprise, two days later the lady calls back and says yeah we found your stick next time you;re here this is where I'll leave it.

last thursday I was there again and a guy I know who works there walks up and says hey your stick is still here and he gave it back to me.

Nice to hear someone else got a crazy wife just like mine.

Relax bro I'm sure it will come out that Pacioretty was playing with a sore throat and Galchenyuk was playing sad

Ohhh sorry to offend pie.

Montreal played great all series, just got unlucky!!! They'll get 'er next time!

This is one time where I actually believe the player wants to stay on the team. I think Montreal signs him for like 4 or 5 at 5.5

So, when do they trade Price to sign Jonathan Bernier?

EDIT : And Resign Dwight King?

I'd be very pleasantly surprised if that happened, but I'd bet against that happening.

Gotta love "Moneyball Marc's" definition of CHaracter!! I wonder if it's possible to have CHaracter AND offensive capabilities at the same time??

Bargain bin Bergevin might wanna try a different dollar store waiver wire next year??

LOL!! What a bunch of pathetic, sacless, scared losers!!

This was getting tiresome 10 years ago, now it's just plain sad and even more obvious.
