Markov was excellent last night (again).

That giveaway by Subban was ridiculous.

Let me lob a wrister right through the middle of my zone, with 3 Wings standing at the blue line. Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.

HE's not a banger... he's no Clarkson...

Does Vanek play a big game ? Nope.

If this team can sign Vanek, Moulson or any other forward taller than Briere, MB will be doing something right.

Actually, Vanek has been playing a big game. That's my point. He certainly played big last night.

depends how you define big game. does he go into the corners and obliterate people? no. is he ornery and aggressive? no. but does he use his size and strength to control the puck and get his ass in the paint? yes. you don't have to play like Milan Lucic to use your size effectively.

And I'm quite sure Moulson uses his size the same way.

seems like he really cannot balance high quality offence and high quality defence, unfortunately. it's usually one or the other.

Frightening.

Found a gif of Asp

not sure but Vanek is a bit bigger and infinitely more talented.

Of course Vanek > Moulson.

My point since the beggining is that Moulson would be a good fit if/when Vanek decides to not play for MTL.

Moulson's a scoring winger that would make the Habs top 6 bigger and he would come at a cheaper price/better contract than Vanek.

Not yet anyway.

Good point. Well, other than being completely wrong.

6-6.5m vs 8m?

Anyway Vanek is a cancer so all this talk is obsolete

Moulson is making a good impression in Minnesota. Maybe they'll want to sign him at a cheaper price than Vanek.

This is where things are breaking down.

Is he married to Vanek's wife?

Maybe.

Probably a couple of years less also.

Is he married to Vanek's wife?
- hscesq

I don't think Vanek's wife is GM of the Wild...

And they would probably do that for the same reasons I'd like to see the Habs get Moulson.

I don't know. I'll check.

Hey, IF Moulson gets the same term and $ than Vanek... take Vanek and run with him.
