I know the tradition is that when the Habs win, whoever did the game day thread for that game does the next game until the streak is broken. I thinknin the spirit of Team Tank, whoever does the GDT for a loss should continue to do so until the next dreaded victory. Just my 2 cents.

MONTOYA WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 more game with 30 minutes played to go. Edmonton plays 2 more back-to-backs, this weekend and next. I don't know why I'm this jacked to move up from ~131 to ~100 in the draft, but #### YEAH, 1 MORE GAME, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I agree.

I second the motion. Do we have a third?

0 help from anyone else on The Tank. Buffalo, Detroit, and Arizona all lose. Chicago too, although I don't mind them finishing low since we have their 2nd. The worst part about tanking isn't that you're cheering for your team to lose, it's that you're cheering for other bad teams to win. Disappointment is abundant.

Play him 18 minutes Tank like a boss.

And Team Tank is back on track.

Remember when he was being shopped around and quite a few of us went on about how we didn't want that "fat bum" on our team?

I remember Chris Nilan talking about Vesey on his TSN690 show that spring. Vesey's dad is good friends with Nilan. Chris was dropping a pretty big hint that Vesey was considering not signing with Nashville, although Nilan speculated he would sign with Boston. Later after he signed with New York, there were rumours that Boston was in the mix too. I wasn't too surprised because I thought I read a rumour that Nashville was really trying to get Vesey to leave college after his junior year.

Thanks, its a bit of work on it, but its a labor of love.

I read the other day that 30/31 teams have already reached out to his 'family advisor' (also known as an agent but college players technically can't have agents). He's the prize of this college FA class. I wanted Schuldt last year and I still want him this time around. Robby Jackson (another St. Cloud guy) was at Montreal's camp as well and should draw some attention. (Jon Lizotte was the other from that team at the development camp but I wouldn't be surprised if he stays another year.) By the way, nice work on the annual College FA series on your site. Regarding Evans, Corey Pronman of The Athletic believes he's leaning towards signing with Montreal. Given the Habs' lack of centre depth, it's hard to think there is a better opportunity for him out there.

Memories of a soul for sure CC.

Those are some heavy metaphysics for a hockey board, my friend! There is a rich irony in the thought that moves supposedly made to bolster our 'character' have in fact left us a soulless shell. Watching Price this season, he seems to have been mentally preoccupied or half-checked out all year. Who knows why, but it may be partly informed by MB's foolish chemistry experiments. Amazing to think that in 2015 the chemistry was so good everyone raved about it, Petry was blown away when he arrived, etc.. Now they're a listless, lifeless bunch except for the wonderful Brendan Gallagher.

I've always really liked the word "stupid" .. its a fave... but I'll withhold it here while agreeing with you. I honestly didn't know we absolutely needed a rushing defenseman.. but always assumed any team would automatically have one. But we traded our soul and as Aquinas and Aristotle said.. the soul is the act and ordering principle of the body. The mind over matter. We are lifeless things without our souls, abject objects not agents pursuing destiny. And because our intellective soul presupposes free will.. MB is responsible. He's set up for life so he wouldn't have endured a hardship in parting. We have endured a wound to our souls in his not parting perchance. What say ye soul brothers.

His first season in Pittsburgh he couldn't find chemistry with Crosby or Malkin but did with Nick Bonino. Also Kessel is a far better player than Pacioretty and doesn't have cold streaks in the spring.
