GDT: Pittsburgh Penguins @ Canadiens - Sat Jan 9, 2016 - 7:00 pm ET

[GEEMAN]

Agreed....


I was referring to his past month....he has been just as bad as Markov...even Petry has sucked this past month (maybe because he was nursing his injury)

Petry has looked like shit for the last 20

 

[CH1]

MB missed the boat when it comes to asset turnover in the case of Markov and Pleks

These two should have been flipped for younger players, prospects and picks

no guts, no glory. good is the enemy of great.

Who hasn't? Just asking.

 

[GEEMAN]

I didn't expect Edmonton Petry

 

[XPOFAN]

Everyone really at different times and to varying degrees

 

[HabsFan1]

Petry

Ok so you have Subban and Petry. Who else do you consider too 3 on this team?? Markov is a strong 4 nowadays.

NB is a top 3 D-man.

 

[Habs-25]

NB is a top 3 D-man.

He is not yet.

Petry also has been really bad in last month or so.

Disagree. Kid can skate the puck out of trouble. Can be physical. Good first pass.

Whole team is struggling right now and some guys are being unfairly judged.

 

[Habs53]

Our forwards are making our D look bad. Very useless bunch

As i said he does too many mistakes, i know he is till young but i was expecting much more from him plus his offensive game is not there yet.

Pretty tough to put up decent #'s from the back end when there is nobody to pass to up front

 

[HabsFan1]

NB is a top 3 D-man.

Yes but he is also best suited for a #3/4 role at this point. IMO.

 

[BKerr]

Thats fine.

Petry is our #2.

You don't need to play your #1 beside your #2.

i'm fine with

#3 - #1
#4 - #2

 

[GEEMAN]

Our #2 looks like a 4 right now

 

[Habsy]

NB is not a top 3 yet. Even yesterday I watched him make numerous mistakes in the zone that caused them to get pinned.

He still makes far too many mistakes when pressured and also some when not.

 

[Isaac25]

The D is the least of our problems...

Disagree, as I said last summer MBs #1 priority was to find a Markov succession plan - especially given the reliance on transition game. The Habs don't have a #1 pairing & its effected Subban's game & the overall team dynamic.

Not like Subban is sucking this year; he is 7th in NHL d-scoring, is leading Habs +11 while playing a lot and getting goal yesterday was great to see finally. Petry has played OK, has seemed a bit 'off' for past while for sure, but still was doing fine.
How will Mgmt deal with Pateryn after that 'poor' decision on Pitt's 2nd goal, paste him to pressbox?

 

[HabsFan1]

In my opinion management has completely ****ed up the whole Pateryn tinordi situation as I feel like their value has dropped big time this season. Should have dealt one this past summer.
