@evanrender @WatchMyReview Gorton along with Hughes entered the official start of the rebuild and turned the ship around in like three years. Lets not pretend like he's useless.

My opinions are my own, don't like it then don't follow. Go Habs! I play Mass Effect more than I pay attention to people. BPD is a bitch ain’t it.

@WatchMyReview Not at all, just saying don’t really understand the Gorton glazing. If you’re fishing for executives of other teams, should be parked outside Julien Breisebois House.
English
The Islanders asked to speak with Jeff Gorton, so why don't we? Answer is likely no, but worth a shot.
English
Celebrini should be the unanimous Hart Trophy winner if the Sharks make the playoffs. He literally has almost twice the points of the second best points leader on his team. He has 104 and Smith has 54. It's insane. I'd argue he should get it even if they don't make it.
JL@JKLHabs
@mike_p_johnson I watch every Habs game, and have seen all the Hart candidates a few times each . Celebrini is by a significant margin the most dangerous player that controls the game the most in the games against Montreal
English
3 days later and this uncertainty is a distant memory. Amazing what a good win streak can do. Losing streaks will bury you in short order, but winning streaks do the exact opposite.
Mike Veenie@fnveenie
Anybody who feels the Habs are safe where they are in the standings isn't watching what's happening with the teams chasing them. One bad streak could cost the Habs badly. Nobody is losing.
English
@WatchMyReview Thats definitely part of the problem. You could see just how much when Gudas need Matthews and no one really stood up for him. Culture isn't everything, but with the right culture teams do actually play better.
English
Please move off this nonsense. You can have a great "Culture" and suck. Build a winner through smart trades, drafting, developing.
Does anyone think the issue with the Leafs is a bad culture? We purposely got less skilled and really slow and no other NHL team does that.
English
More of this 'Culture" nonsense. You get a GM who makes smart trades, drafts well and bam! That's your "Culture".
We are all big on the idea of the "Country Club" dooming the Leafs, but there were so many mistakes made that screwed this team not related to "Culture".

"I don't care if it's the greatest GM in history or an unknown. They won't come in and set culture up for those guys. It has to be the foundational pieces setting the culture." @RealKyper, @jtbourne and @SamAMcKee react to Keith Pelley’s comments on the Leafs’ direction.
English
Sabourin wanted none of that. Tampa still a bunch of crybabies.
English
@Mack_Maring @CanadiensEh Everyone's first choice at the time was Glass. And lets not pretend like the Habs didn't have a list of players they wanted with Suzuki on it
English
@Handfullll @CanadiensEh You can give him credit for accepting Suzuki instead of blowing up the trade when he wouldn’t budge on Glass
But if Bergevin had his first choice, we wouldn’t have Suzuki - and that does matter.
English
@CanadiensEh @Mack_Maring 100%. I also think no one truly knew how good Suzuki was going to be. Management fucked up putting him on the 4th line to start his career as well. Though, the narrative that the "settled" for Suzuki is way overdone and incorrect.
English
@Handfullll @Mack_Maring I'd imagine the #1 skillset of most NHL GM's is being able to...negotiate. The black/white "Suzuki was their third pick" isn't really reality.
It's always the goal to make the other party feel they didn't give up their best asset.
English
@Mack_Maring @CanadiensEh To be fair, it is highly unlikely that the Habs were only interested in Glass at the time. And it makes sense that he was their target because Glass was projected to be the better player.
English
@CanadiensEh I think the reason most people have issues with Bergevin getting credit for those things is that he ultimately lucked into it after fucking up for years.
Suzuki over Glass wasn't his choice.
Caufield was no-question BPA for a team that desperately needed scoring
Guhle - moar big
English
@WatchMyReview Whomever it is needs more control. They have to stop having to go to the MLSE board to get approvals for trades and signings. That's the main reason Dubas left.
English
Edna's thoughts are this occurred tonight because they have someone. Might not be GM, but IMO, Chris Pronger is about to be named President of Hockey Ops.
English
@CanadiensEh Imagine the playoffs with both Xhekajs on the same line
English
@FultonReed6 Which is sad tbh. Honestly the Leafs need a Xhekaj... but not ours. You cant have him
English
Translation: there isn’t anyone on that bench that he’s worried about. Like at all.
BarDown@BarDown
Radko Gudas explains his decision to suit up against the Maple Leafs tonight. The Ducks' captain was suspended five games earlier this month after a knee-to-knee hit on Auston Matthews that resulted in a Grade 3 MCL tear for the Leafs' captain.
English
Caufield's best year in his ELC was 43 points.
Suzuki's best year in his ELC was 61 points.
To get a "Cheap" cap hit, you need a core that doesn't put up numbers like say a Marner or Matthews does in their ELC.
Habs Chronicle@HabsChronicle
Suzuki is hitting 100 points. Caufield is hitting 50 goals. For under 8 million, each. Kent Hughes, you beautiful, beautiful man.

@mneufeld123 @MECA_Canada @mur13582263 Considering Danielle Smith signed an MOU with the federal government basically saying the federal government would help Alberta build a pipeline if they can find someone willing to build one... and still haven't found someone willing to build one... companies don't want to.
English
@MECA_Canada @mur13582263 And that message is? Build pipelines.
So,
Do you think for one minute that an oil company wouldn’t jump to build another pipeline if it made them more billions?
Show the data
I WOULD want a pipeline that makes sense

@tonesmac18 @Space_morty What? No lol. I said whether you consider it a record or not doesn't matter. You're literally the one arguing that it isn't a record because it isn't on their website. Just stop replying to people lol.
English
@Space_morty @Handfullll That’s why I said it’s a crazy random baseball-like stat. You can take any number and say this. The other guy seems to think it’s an NHL record. I hate when they do this in every sport. It’s pointless.
English
@tonesmac18 When you disagree with the league who is literally in charge of the record books and can't bother to read the entire post. Dude your opinion does not matter. Fact is the NHL has stated that he broke a record. I don't need to look it up anywhere because you're too blind to read.
English
@Handfullll It doesn’t say he broke a record because this record doesn’t exist. That’s why you didn’t take the 30 seconds to find it.
Arguing semantics at this point. Fact is that it’s a ridiculous baseball/ESPN type stat that means nothing. I’d laugh no matter who did this.
English
@tonesmac18 Buddy. Just stop talking. All you're doing is proving how pointless your entire opinion is. Whether you think it is or is not a record has absolutely no value. The NHL themselves in this post have said that he has BROKEN the NHL RECORD... So yea, the NHL has the final say.
English
@Handfullll I quite literally said it’s not a record and that’s how this convo started. You trying to change what I said and what you said won’t help.
This record does not exists. Therefore it’s not a record. But I’ll look forward to hearing about the fastest to 77 multi assist games
English
@tonesmac18 I'm literally not arguing whether it is a record or not. I'm just saying what you think is, and isn't a record is pointless. You're literally arguing just to prove how pointless you're being. But if you want proof that it's a record just read the words in the photo of the OP.
English
@Handfullll You’re the one arguing that it’s a record. You know you can’t find it that’s why you’re arguing.
If you use common sense, they’d have to do this for every single arbitrary number then. “First to 47 multi assist games. First to 63 multi assist games”.
English
@tonesmac18 Find it yourself since you're so hyped up on being right. I'm not doing your work for you. The NHL has said Lane Hutson is the fastest defenseman to record 30 multi-assist games in NHL history. That is that, whether you think it's a record or not literally doesn't matter.
English
@Handfullll There is an official record book which you can easily find online. Find this record and show me
English
@tonesmac18 Buddy, what you say is a record and isn't a record in the NHL literally has no value. Stop trying to act like you know more than the NHL in this regard lol.
English
@Handfullll It’s literally not a record otherwise they’d have to do this for 35 and 40 and 45 games etc. Find it in the official record book and get back to me.
English
@tonesmac18 @Space_morty @Waynehockey22 @NHL Whether you consider it a record or not doesn't really matter. The NHL does, otherwise they wouldn't have announced it.
English
@Space_morty @Waynehockey22 @NHL This isn’t a record. You can pick any arbitrary number and say this. Find me in the NHL record book where it says fastest to 30 multi assist games
English
