100% agree. After this skid something must happen. Trade/firing. Something

While I am not one to favor "shock" measures, this may be the necessary move at this point.

Berg has to do something and no by something i don't mean thomas kind of mean. Season is on danger for real. Can't remember last time we had such a terrible series of performance for almost a month.

Habs fans have gotten spoiled in the last 2.5 seasons, vying for last playoff spot was a standard occurrence the previous 20-yrs.

Maybe MB will pull a Gauthier and fire the assistant coaches.

Gilbert and Emilin are the least of the problems

Emelin at 4.1 million for 2.5 more years is a big problem

33-yr old Czech dick rash @ $6M cap hit is an even bigger one...

There are only two people on this board who believe that.

There's a few more here with me at my Harvard alumni dinner, one actually asked if dick rash is scared of Casper the ghost after seeing his landmark "I gotta dump the puck before someone hits me" move in the opening few minutes of the game.

F*cking cowardly as*hole!

I think Pleks can be traded. Emelin not so much.

Take a look at the defence pairings that the Canucks threw out there tonight and tell me again about how Emelin has no trade value.

 

[Krustchev]

His full NTC ends next Friday. Just reminding.

Still can block trades to about 15 NHL teams

Seeing as at max 2-3 teams might be interested in him, its pretty easy to block a trade.

He might block a trade to Edmonchuk or Dirtypeg but I'm sure he'd agree to go to Vancouver.

 

[XPOFAN]

He might block a trade to Edmonchuk or Dirtypeg but I'm sure he'd agree to go to Vancouver.

And why would that be?

Why would he agree to a trade to a team that is in worse shape than Montreal for winning, still has high taxes (albeit a little better than Quebec), has no other russians on the squad, and has the worst travel in the league?

 

[Krustchev]

74 was headed to Anaheim at the deadline last season but the deal fell through and not because of his NTC. Why would he not go there?

We were talking about Vancouver

The point is he can be traded.
