Habs News & Notes: 2013-14 Season

[CaptainBolduke]

Lines at practice:

Pacioretty - Desharnais - Vanek
Prust - Plekanec - Gallagher
Bourque - Eller - Gionta
Bournival - Briere - Weise
(White, Parros)

Markov - Emelin
Gorges - Subban
Bouillon - Weaver
(Murray - Tinordi)

That's a tiny D.

 

[Isaac25]

1st 2 pairs look good and I like Weaver but Cube is crap...

 

[Habhead]

Hope Bou doesn't start the series, but he's a vet so I'm sure he will.

And Murray's too slow for TBay's forwards...

 

[DonKay]

I'd be worried about Emelin...he's making a lot of turnovers lately.

And you know they'll be putting that pairing up against Stamkos

God what is this paranoia about Stamkos? He isn't the reincarnation of Mau Richard. He is a scorer, sure, but for the most part a panty waist scorer.

Look like Gio is ready to accept 2 years deal for 6 M $! nothing less than 3 M$/yr

18 goals is pretty much worth 3 million these days

is not only 18 goals , is what he bring to team and he is our best Penalty killer beside Pleks .

Seems about right...

 

[Habspatrol]

That's what she said.

 

[UWHabs]

Seems about right...

If we didn't have like 6 other midgets on the team, I'd be more than happy to sign him for that.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

That is also true. Remember though, Bergevin wants to get bigger and will show us by signing Gionta, reupping Weaver and 55 too.

 

[XPOFAN]

What is with the Bergevin hate. Don't you support your team?

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

<<<<not a pom pom waver

 

[Sal_Butera]

De La Rose has a shot at making the team next year, Tinordi will get a regular spot, both will add size, if Vanek resigns will be a bonus.....patience it's coming - as Bergevin said size will need to be addressed internally via prospect development, costs too much to acquire if even available on the market.

 

[Krustchev]

Saw MB walking downtown yesterday. The guy is a true slave to style and fashion. Should spend as much time on assembling his team as he does his daily attire and personal grooming. Maybe he does.

well you can see it this way ... Sven Andrighetto is close to NHL than any other player . with Gio being back then 11.Gio,DD ,briere and him will be 5 out of top 9 under 5'10!

No thanks...time to get bigger up front.

as for penalty killers it's not a hard thing to teach...most of our lineup kills penalties.

If there's one aspect of the game that is all about just good positioning and a good X' and O's it's penalty killing.

Bournival can do the job next year

 

[DonKay]

Exactly why it's time to move on with Gio and let him go...after Briere

On top of Ghetto..you have Reway, Hudon also who are good prospects.
