Spot on! in Price we don't know what appreciate what we have and fail to recognize (As with Subban) that the best is yet to come. Those who don't live by the draft, die by it. j.p. murray - Comment on Tinordi in lineup, Weber out for Jets game
I find it fitting that at a time when many of us worry about how physical teams like the leafs can manhandle les boys that a pint sized 37 year old from Quebec should dominate them. Poetry:-) j.p. murray - Comment on Four Bulldogs players and Galchenyuk invited to Habs camp
Could we all just agree that, since so many guys are already signed, the prospects have been invited to camp because it's an opportunity for coaches to evaluate them and for them to learn??? No team in their right mind would burn a year of their top prospect's (Gally's) ELC during a shortened season in which we don't have a snow-ball's chance in hell of winning the cup. j.p. murray - Comment on The latest on Shane Doan
Lots of Gomez talk on here, I understand how the cheerleaders don't want to hear us bash on this guy, but his poor production, massive cap-hit, and seemingly poor effort on the ice make him, IMHO, the biggest embarrassment the NHL has ever seen. How can a forward go an entire year without scoring a single goal???? The fact that he wears our jersey is bad enough, the fact that he wears number 11 utterly depresses me. To think how many fans hold Subban, Darche, Price accountable for their play. In a cap system, how accountable is Gomez? This guy should not be playing in the NHL. j.p. murray - Comment on Bergevin, Meehan to talk P.K.
absolutely! Bourque is a clueless hockey player but he can burry pucks. Back to back 27 goal campaigns is not a fluke. Give his some time with DD and we will see what he's capable of. j.p. murray - Comment on Bergevin, Meehan to talk P.K.
A lot of good talk about how we can improve our team, but I honestly don't think any of these ideas (free-agents, trades, call-ups, buy-outs) are going to help us win the cup. When the old contracts have run their course in 2 years (Gomez, Gionta, Markov) many of our prospects will be entering the NHL as full-timers and our current youngsters (Pacs, Eller, DD, Emellin, Subban, Price) will be entering their prime. I'm okay with any moves we make this year that don't involve trading our key prospects (Galchenyuk, Collberg, Beaulieu, Tinordi, Ellis, Leblanc, Bournival, Gallagher, and Bozon). I definitely think that cup runs, under the cap system, depend on having a large enough group of quality players who haven't commanded UFA dollars yet. I'm confident Timmins can architect a cup winning team so long as no G.M.s trade away his gems (McDonnaugh for Gomez.... someone shoot me!). j.p. murray - Comment on Bergevin, Meehan to talk P.K.
Go Bull-dogs Go!!!! Realistically our next 2 seasons count for nothing. It's the bulldogs we should be focusing on this year. Hamilton is absolutely stacked this year. Might be the most talented team in the AHL. In 2 years time they will be nhl ready. A large group maturing at once is how cups are won. Add the amazing 2012 draft picks to the group we have in Hamilton this year, and the veteran core of the 2014 Habs (Price, Subban, Pacioretty, Pleks, Emellin, Eller, DD) and we have a potential powerhouse! If we manage to draft high even one more time (in the next 2 years), I can't even imagine the star power we will have. Let's keep the kids, develop them patiently and avoid any desperation trades that might vault us into a playoff spot this year (See Burke, Brian). I'd rather see us be a cup contender in the next 3-5 years than an annual play-off contender. j.p. murray
