kinot-1 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Habs I/O: The only other Hab to make the top-14 position rankings was Max Pacioretty, who came in at No. 7 on the list of left-wingers, behind Dallas’s Jamie Benn, Minnesota’s Zach Parise, San Jose’s Joe Pavelski, Chicago’s Patrick Sharp, Edmonton’s Taylor Hall, and Colorado’s Gabriel Landeskog.

vegasrick Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 .....did I just step into a time-warp pulsar black hole, or is this really the player page for our resident Wolverine who came within one goal of being the first 40-goal scoring Hab in a millenia? And, who happens to be playing at a ferocious pace at the moment? If tonight's game against the Boo-ins was any indication, I think Patches puts together another great season this year. He's good. He's real good. In fact, he's so good, that Canadiens fans have let this page go to seed for over TWO MONTHS! Well, I'm gonna pick my jaw up off the floor and post a comment here: this franchise would be CRAZY to ever trade Pacioretty. Now that that's out of the way, I will say that I sure am enjoying watching the game played at such a high level. So why wouldn't we see Patches actually pass to Desharhais once in a while? I'm enjoying watching the chemistry grow as they get more creative. And this Weise-to-Patches thing has my attention, too. Ho, hum....just another two-goal night at the office.....I'll be at the bar after work......see ya back here in a month or two...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsisme Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I honestly think that when you consider his cap hit Pacioretty is one of the best players in the NHL. I can't think of anyone who gives you more bang for buck (excluding anyone on entry level deal, and even then!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of anyone who gives you more bang for buck (excluding anyone on entry level deal, and even then!) Agreed. He'd be good value at 6M a year, and it's even better that we have him at the price we do. Currently 9th in the league in goals, and one of the best even-strength scorers in the league in the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my biggest issue when trade rumors concerning Patch surfaced last season. Sure we could've maybe gotten similar skill/production back, but not with a cap friendly hit. No matter how you looked at it, had we traded him last season, we would've come out losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to add Kane, but there's no way you look at their respective contracts and deal Pacioretty for him. Pacman is the better player and on the better contract.

Pacman is the better player and on the better contract. He's a bit older but yeah, better contract and better player plus we know he fits in with this roster, whatever that's worth. It's hard to envision a workable scenario where trading Pacioretty would make any sort of sense. When you factor in the amount of good goalies (not as good as Carey but it does decrease the overall value because there's less desperate need) and Subban's salary Pacioretty and Galchenyuk are arguably our 2 most valuable trade assets and I think there's a strong case with that contract + his age that Pacioretty is number 1.

mysideofthemirror Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Some nice chemistry with Chucky developing. They can both finish, we know Chucky can distribute, and as last night shows so can Patches. It just took someone on his line who'll take the shot when he passes it to them.

Currently 9th in the league in goals, and one of the best even-strength scorers in the league in the past few years. There was a stat on the night of his birthday that he scored more goals than anyone in the NHL from his last birthday to his current one. Thats pretty impressive!

Woodenhhead Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 His passing is really clicking with GallyA; he's not simply a "pure goal scorer" (as I always hear in the media) - he just needed another great finisher to play with. The Gally-oretty line has been pretty magic thus far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaas Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 The Gally-oretty line has been pretty magic thus far! I prefer the GPG line because we will be waiting to see how many goals per game they score each time out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennifer_rocket Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Of note, in Kerry Fraser's "C'mon Ref" column at TSN.ca he mentioned that Stoner should have received a 5 minute major and a game misconduct for the hit on Pacioretty.

jennifer_rocket Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 So we know he'll never get any consideration for the NHL player safety board. Because it should definitely be Chris Pronger instead of a retired on-ice official. I find Kerry Fraser's column on TSN.ca quite refreshing. I know he has the benefit of hindsight, but it is nice to hear from someone who officiated in the league. He knows the rule book and he was around for a long time.

jedimaas Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Shockingly, Wolverine was on the ice for the morning skate. Has not been ruled out for tonight - according to MT Weaver and Allen are definitely "out" and Andrighetto is definitely in - but no confirmation 'for sure' about Patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side, you have Stephane Auger doing approximately the same thing Fraser does and he said that no penalty was the correct decision, the hit was not late (therefore no interference) and Max was hit from his side (therefore no boarding) and Max should know to protect hiimself yada yada yada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColRouleBleu Posted December 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Max says he feels good and hopes to play tonight. He says it's not 100% certain, hasn't talked to the coach about it yet but he repeated many times that he feels good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, Pacioretty is back! And added two more assists to his total! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTed3 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I always thought "boarding" could be called without it having to be a hit from behind? Anyway, Pacioretty is back! And added two more assists to his total! It doesn't. The essence of the rule is that you can't hit a defenseless opponent into the boards, and Pacioretty was clearly vulnerable. Was there intent to injure? I don't believe so. Was it a hit from behind? No. But I do think it was a bit late (not sure when these people are counting from who said it wasn't) and it definitely met the criteria for boarding. The decision between a minor and major comes down to ref discretion about the violence of the impact, but that was at least a 2 minute penalty that was brutally ignored by FSL. Here's the rule: Rule 41 - Boarding 41.1 Boarding – A boarding penalty shall be imposed on any player who checks or pushes a defenseless opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to hit or impact the boards violently or dangerously. The severity of the penalty, based upon the impact with the boards, shall be at the discretion of the Referee. There is an enormous amount of judgment involved in the application of this rule by the Referees. The onus is on the player applying the check to ensure his opponent is not in a defenseless position and if so, he must avoid or minimize contact. However, in determining whether such contact could have been avoided, the circumstances of the check, including whether the opponent put himself in a vulnerable position immediately prior to or simultaneously with the check or whether the check was unavoidable can be considered. This balance must be considered by the Referees when applying this rule. Any unnecessary contact with a player playing the puck on an obvious “icing” or “off-side” play which results in that player hitting or impacting the boards is “boarding” and must be penalized as such. In other instances where there is no contact with the boards, it should be treated as “charging.” 41.2 Minor Penalty – The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a minor penalty, based on the degree of violence of the impact with the boards, to a player guilty of boarding an opponent. 41.3 Major Penalty – The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a major penalty, based on the degree of violence of the impact with the boards, to a player guilty of boarding an opponent (see 41.5).
