I was one of those that ripped you on the Domi / galchenyuk trade. Now to be fare I always liked max as a player, and if we traded draft picks or prospects for him i would of been happy. But you traded galchenyuk for him. I thought you just traded one problem for another, and in this case I said I would of rather just kept galchenyuk and played him all year at center. But Max is proving me wrong and has grown on me. So to this i say I am sorry this was one of your better trades and I am man enough to give credit.

Habs had a chance to put their foot on the throat of the Rangers in the 2nd, and instead decided to take lazy and stupid penalties. It's the mark of a young team, and it will probably happen more often than we think it should.

Romanov has played very defensive hockey in the KHL with CSKA, and done well at it. I don't mind if he plays a bit riskier more offensive game for this tournament and the world juniors to get some development in those aspects of his game.

Some thoughts on Game 1 of the CAN/RUS series: - Brook played a ton. He had a couple of hiccups with the puck but in his defence, he had the puck a lot. - Walford was steady but didn't see a ton of action as he was on the third pairing. I can't see him having a shot at a WJC spot. - Romanov had an eventful game. He coughed it up in his own zone once leading to a breakaway but had some decent rushes as well. They noted on the broadcast that in practices, he has been a bit of a rover. Based solely on last night, that would be an appropriate description.

I'm in the same boat. Domi must have been extremely unhappy in Phoenix or playing with the wrong linemates, and Bergevin did well to recognize it and make the trade.

We are one for one on our New York family Hockey pilgrimage. My little 6yr old got handed a game stick signed by Jeff Petry to boot!! Safe to say he’s a fan for life.

Mea culpa. Would he consider a name change...? DOMI! Now can we order the bus?

I also admit i was wrong about the domi/galchenyuk deal.
