The 2 seasons in Montreal he had 45% and 49%
He had 2 seasons above 50%

Are you challenging Bolts91 to a duel?
- Symba007

He's challenging him to a dance-off.

Gardiner is bad defensively now? Oh right, he's the full-time whipping boy now that Bozak and JVR are gone.
- gravyface

As you all know, every year I pick a Leaf or two to have an irrational hate for throughout the season.

With Komarov, Bozak and JVR gone, I need to designate a new one.

But I don't think it will be Gardiner because: a) it wouldn't be an irrational hate; and b) everyone else is already hating on him.

Barring any changes, my irrational hate is going to be fully directed at Ron Hainsey and Curtis McElhinney

When he was signed, fans of advanced stats tried to convince me it was a great signing.

I don't actually watch or care about these numbers all that much so I took their word for it.

And that was your second mistake.



The first was being a Habs fan.

Hyman is a good candidate because of Babcock's manboy love for him.

Anybody on the 4th line over the age of 25 also works.

I know it looks bad these days.

But this team made me the happiest kid in the world in 1993.

I'll never consider cheering for them a mistake.

In late-Nov, Andrei Markov reached out to the Canadiens, informed Bergevin he was very unhappy in the KHL and wanted to return. I'm told Bergevin told him no.

the season before montreal he had a 51.71% corsi..which is respectable for a depth player.

While Pagnotta isn't the most reliable source, I wouldn't even (frank)ing be surprised if that was the case.

Tom Gilbert: career CF% = 48.2

Below average.

Rielly has never has a season with a +
i guess the same applies to him?
- senstroll

Not going on about him being one of the best players in the world.

In fact, I have never believed he was a true #1 Dman, and maybe not even top pair.
