And blame his teammates and coaching staff for his poor plays and decisions lmao

totally agree

i really dont like how paccio behaves on the ice. No intensity in his play. His face isnt showing any emotion, and a captain needs emotion. The team needs a captain with emotion.

Yea the year before he got the c it was a little better but last year he played with 0 intensity or emotions at all.. In the last games of the season it was a little better but it was too late already

Didnt see him play the exib games but i hope the new comers and torts critics will wake him up this year

Patches is Montreals version of Toronto's Phil Kessel.

He's no Captain - period.

Doesn't mean he's not a good player - and that perhaps behind the scenes he has the right mind-set and clearly the teams vote.

But as an integral part to the future of the franchise? Nope. A key player - of course. But he's a piece of the puzzle and not the picture.

Now to his defense

He was three points shy of his previous years record year, and still his second career best year. In a collapsing team - with poor goal tending, no confidence in the group and a cluster fuck of a front office.

The guy does what he's supposed to do, each and every game - with no complaints.

He doesn't deserve to be traded just to become an asset to another contender. We can be contender.I don't believe we are . But with Radulov, and Weber, we should see some noticeable improvements both up front and on the blue line. Both of which will take some pressure off of Patches - and with Subban gone that's one less person to be accountable for. Subban is his own person, a great player, and a great asset - but he plays his own way, and Therrien, Patches and Co had zero control of that situation.


If Price remains healthy. Radulov can keep consistent numbers - (40-50 points targets) and Weber keeps up his consistency of the last few years - then we have a solid chance of actually being a contender.

But I feel Patches needs to drop the C

and we still need another Key defender - because Markov isn't getting younger, and there will be a big hole to fill when he's gone.

I do not forsee another contract for him

He wont just drop the c, for this season at least. Now you have to compose with it and not make it a bigger distraction than it already is

pipe dream that he does drop it

But he can be stripped of it - if results don't change.

My only argument though - is that he's not solely responsible for the results of last seasons collapse. And I can't say he attributed to it by stats or by him being there. But he sure didnt make it better
