i try to ditch the christmas party anyway. it’s just a bunch of people out in the shop eating and stuff but it’s too many people. you can’t hear people when they talk and i’m not a yuge fan of it. i appreciate that they do it for us but i usually just go for a few minutes and then go back to my desk.
Translation: not enough porn at the christmas party, but plenty of it back at his desk.
kickbro is there right now. the pictures look nice.
Part of Quebec City, it is really fun to hang around and walk in the summer, but it is a little more special in winter (when snowy), especially around Christmas time.
Lots of interesting places in the lower part of the city too.
I have really enjoyed the times I went there for short vacations.
In the end, Montreal traded Jordan Harris for Patrik Laine and Philip Danault…. which is an absurdly good return when you phrase it like that.
Read this trade tree all started with a 9th round draft pick in 2003 (Halak) and follows down through the Halak / Eller trade…
🤣
These things go on forever.
After his tantrum when he did not get what he wanted out of Montreal, yes, I did say good riddence.
Before he whined about it, I wanted him back
“tantrum”, wtf
😂Have a good day
not one game in and you are already complaining about him? lol
He will get some ice time with all the injuries, thats why he is here.
St-Louis already said it would be in a defensive role.
I could see him between Gally and Andy (Pete!).
Just need to get his confidence back. Would be nice to see the fans cheering for him and not crapping all over him, but whatever. You have the right to your opinion and voice it all you want.
Just said he should expect to play bottom 6 minutes, but has shown to be unhappy with that numerous times, and hope he does not cause problems about that.
Also I think a 2nd is overpay, but if Evans is injured, that might not be so bad insurance (and better than other options out there).
IF you wanna twist that all over the place to something more than I have said, then go ahead – that can be your Christmas present from me to you.
Have a good day.
I had Laine on the fourth line or in the stands before the season began. I know Laine is injuried right now, but still. Would you put him in mtl top 6?
Don’t think he ever plays another game for the Habs.
those who interpreted this as complaining are the same ones who said “good riddance” when he left, pretty sure you were among those people… anyway I disagree with how you see this lol, but it’s all good.

not saying you’re necessarily wrong, but the “whining” you speak of is your interpretation of things, not a fact.
Complaining to the media that you are not getting PP time or playing more / different roles is how I perceive whining.
But whatever.
When he is not happy, Danault can cause problems.
Just hope he realizes he is not likely to see top 6 action or PP time, unless there are injuries.
really..? wouldn’t that be just an impression you have because of how things ended for him in MTL?
He did it in MTL at the end and did it with the Kings.
Meh.
We will see.
Also, this also frees up the Suzuki line to not always have to play against top lines most of the game, if Danault (and a healthy) Evans lines are ready, the Habs can match up better (especially at home), giving the Zuk and Kappy line more offensive opportunities.
I don’t know which other options are/were out there and the pricetag attached to them. But I wasn’t a fan of giving up too much for a Kadri (whom I hate) or a O’Reilly as they didn’t really fit into what should remain the objective for this team: start your cup competitive window in 2 years.
They need help to improve the PK, they got it
They need help in team defensive play, they got it
They need help with face-offs, particularly from the left, they got it.
And he is someone that has played on Montreal and knows what the pressure is like.
I just hope he will accept his role as a bottom 6 player and not pout about lack of power play or offensive opportunities… he is known to be a whiner that way and that just kills the vibe of a dressing room.
Overall, this is a low risk trade, if expensive, that does not have long-term implications associated to it such as the other options you mentioned.
I would’ve preferred a different move, but between this and not doing anything at all, it was a logical trade for Hughes to make.
Not sure if Evans is going to miss some play time, but at least they made a trade before he got hurt, or the Kinds might have asked for more.
I am not sure the trade was worth a 2nd round pick, but if Evans is out long-term, I won’t grumble too much.
Danault and Evans as the 3 / 4 Cs is an upgrade.
Also, Texier has 1 move in the shootout, he used it last week, has been scouted, and for some fucking reason MSL sends him out there to do that one move that 100% of the people are expecting,
He fuckers. move to the new thread.
Also, K(i)DS line is fun to watch… they’d better not break that up to appease Danault.
