Well well, Dany Briere's son and Matvei will make excellent bar hopping buddies.

Don’t bother. He already told Geoff Molson that he wants to play for the L.A. Kings or Flyers and won’t meet with other teams at the 2031 draft.

He seems to have some real problems off the ice.

 

[CH1]

also problems on the ice

I recall Mario Tremblay claiming he had been to detox twice back during his time with us.

he was never the same after his old lady bitch slapped him at that party

The ancien regime was not into insulating young, high draft picks . . . or developing players (MB famously said that it was "on the player" to improve).

He had skills, but sack of hammers IQ.

Anyway, the off ice stuff is unfortunate. Seems like he needs more help.

Galchenyuk's repeated knee injuries also destroyed whatever edge he had that allowed him to use his skill.

There was a dude on Twitter that had videos of Galchenyuk when he was in his early 20s with us. He was so much faster than what he is now.

Yeah because Serge Savard was great at it, see weekend motel gangbanging of 14-year olds, or Gainey’s “worst day in Habs history”

Relative measure - that’s only because the league was slower. There was a step change in avg speed league wide starting 2015-2016 season, combined w filling bottom-9 forwards w teenage ELC prospects vs vets & traditional 4th liners

Galchenyuk’s ultimate flaw was he lacked intellectual / learning capacity - whether that was due to Daigle syndrome (being a hockey player only to appease his fathers wishes), or simply possessing the IQ of a blunt tool.. is TBD.

The constant substance related issues tend to indicate the former vs latter
