I bought in on Dubois malarkey about wanting to play for the Habs and now, I'm going to make a voodoo doll and douse it in poutine. Hot poutine.I wish I could like this post more than once. I agree with you, I'd like more friendly hockey conversations. Admittedly all teams have blow-hards, but if we ignore them, we can have good chats.
In fairness on PLD, Jets did still get a pretty good return, although objectively you weren't wrong and look at the results for LA.
Thanks for the good wishes. You and the other Habs fans who visited have been proven dead-on-the-money about Monahan. I was wondering what was going on at first because all I knew was that Calgary PAID Montreal a first to get rid of Monahan, how could Chevy PAY a first to take him?? But things have changed I guess (got past the injury woes) and he's been a great addition.
There are rumours about Zegras trade to the Habs and I tried to start a honest conversation about him but all I'm getting is the usual nonsense.
One of my concerns for Monahan is that he needs to protect himself from playoff hockey. A few years ago when the Habs reached the finals, it was war. The roughest hockey I've seen the Habs play in a very long time. It's not the kind of team that Monahan would survive against but I don't think any playoff team this season is that brutal.
He's a smart player so I don't see him going onto corners for a survival joust with an ape, but he's also your 2C and he can't be protected or sheltered. I hope his linemates are smart enough not to put their passes in harms way or force him to retrieve the puck.
Good luck...
