I understand that Desharnais is your 1st line centre but when he has 3 minutes less of game time than Plekanec it is pretty clear who is your real number 1 centre. Regardless of the line he plays on. I'm guessing Plekanec is on the 2nd to even the lines up. Sort of like Datsyuk plays on Detroit's second line sometimes.

Anyway I guess Montreal will have Galchenyuk on the top line in a year or two and fix their "no top C" problem.

The reason why he has 3 minutes less per game than Plekanec is because he started off so horribly bad, that he was demoted to the 4th line for a while. His average TOI has picked up ever since he decided to get his head out of his ass. From the start of the season to Mid November he had 1 point.


NO, that's not a typo. He had ONE point.

Well it is hard for such a small guy to score in the NHL, unless you are Martin St. Louis . Though he still plays less, 5 minutes less in today's game .

Anyway my initial point stands whether it's Desharnais or Plekanec. Vanek has no elite centre to play with and probably won't score as much as I would like him to.

Even if he were to maintain his current scoring pace, which could be possible as Montreal has an excellent powerplay, he is such a massive improvement over Rene Bourque

 

[radekas]

For sure. He is an elite winger and I hope he finds chemistry with whoever he plays.

Get well soon, Tim Bozon

That is terrible, hope he pulls through. My fiancé had spinal meningitis as a kid and almost didn't make it. Thank goodness for good doctors.

Finally a top class winger, Vanek with a hat trick

Good thing for my fantasy team.

Too bad the previous 5 games were exactly as I predicted .

He needed to adapt to Therrien's "system".

That is great to see. Would be great to see him get his hockey career going again, but his health is far more important

@Mark


He was released from the hospital yesterday.

Yep, saw the press conference. Getting better and better.
