Sounds reasonable. The thing is, who wants Patty W?  Gotta be someone desperate for some D depth....

Perhaps a team that thinks he can be of value going forward? I'm really not sure.

Anyhow, does this make anyone hope we could get a 2nd for Wiercioch?

A 2nd in a future draft or a 3rd in this one would be my guess.

Replacing that 2017 2nd would be nice. Maybe we can have both! Replace the missing 3rd this year and the 2nd next year.

Make it happen, and so on.

that's a lot of hopes and dreams waiting to be crushed if we think patty will get us that.

Oh, no. I don't think he'd get that. I just want the Sens to get those picks back somehow. I think he could be worth a second, but we'll see what he gets (if they ever end up moving him).

I've said in the past to try him as a forward

Considering it sounds like Murray's been trying to trade him for 2 years, I don't see any way in which he gets us a 2nd.

Habs lose but get a point. Therrien is on life support. Will Bergevin pull the plug?

DelZotto to miss rest of season (surgery to repair ligaments in wrist). Wiercioch?

I feel bad for jack Johnson. Still getting screwed by his parents. You'd of think they would of left him salvage whatever financial situation he can still have by now and stop freeloading off of him.

It's been widely reported that the Habs won't fire him in-season. There's no reason to at this point. Ride the tank to a high draft pick, reload for next year. There's no way to salvage their season now.

I don't disagree, but the *fans* have been calling for Therrien's head for a couple seasons, now. Just seeing him there, one foot up on the bench, elbow to his knee, looking like he's either completely lost or completely disinterested. The only emotion he's shown recently was when he tried to throw Subban under the bus. I know there is zero business/standings sense to fire him now, but at least it will appease the fans a little.

A new low for the Habs:

Price-less.

Incredible and hilarious.

Huge game tonight for Ottawa's playoff hopes...Boston vs Pittsburgh. I think we have a better shot at catching Boston, so hopefully Pittsburgh wins in regulation. A 3-point game would be the worst-case scenario, obviously.

Oh my god! Wow

If you are looking for a new job, the Habs should have some openings in their social media/marketing departments.

I'm on the fence on this one. My gut tells me it'll be easier (wrong word, for sure) to get into the top-three in the Division; primarily because of more head-to-head left. On the other hand, we're just 4 pts back of Pittsburgh, games in hand notwithstanding. If we can have 3-pooint games, we should devise a way to also have 1-point games or even 0-point games to even things out. That way *neither* team would get a point.

He'll finish the year, but they'll replace him this summer.

Habs wit the beat down on the Caps. 4-1, they chased Holtby.
