Confirming what Bergevin said back around the trade deadline that only one of the four would get an ELC.

Mete was playing the right side a bit. They might keep him on 3rd pairing right D next season in case they can't get an extension on Petry.

Hard to say, honestly. Subban probably peaked higher but for a lesser length of time. Markov was consistently great, and his style of play was more about subtly making teammates into stars instead of being the obvious star.

You'll be The Chicoutimi Pickle when I'm done with you! Markov was arguably the most important player on the Habs post 2005 lockout. It's not his fault his prime happened at the same time as Nicklas Lidstrom's. Honour the damn man!

Markov should have his number raised and retired, and I'll fight anyone who disagrees.

ECHL, even?

Fake Doctors, Real Friends. It's a great listen.

Fanpuck, darling, light of my life. I'm not going to hurt you. You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said I'm not going to hurt ya, I'm just gonna bash your brains in... Have you been listening to the Scrubs podcast with Zach Braff and Donald Faison?

About to go quarantining in an internetless house for a fortnight. I expect I'll either find enlightenment or truly understand Jack Torrance... there is no in between.

Arpon Basu responded to my ridiculous question in his latest mailbag article, so the cost of subscribing has been well worth it for me.

This, but unironically. Loved Begin, Bonk, and Johnson. Pretty sure I had a few conversations with Brian with me marveling at Dandenault's versatility (while he questioned his decision to have me write articles for the site.) Hate Bulis though. The original 2nd line tease.

Stop confusing me for someone who confuses Ylonen and Ikonen.

I guess they saw how good he was at getting injured before even suiting up for the organization and thought, "This guy definitely belongs here!" Joking aside, this is an exciting prospect.

I was not expecting this signing after a rather pedestrian season, but if this is one of of the AHL vets to buy in to Bouchard's system then sure, why not I guess?

With news circulating that we could see playoff hockey in August, the formality of cancelling the NHL draft for it's original date has happened. BTW throw out the schedule for all critical dates. It will take some cooperation from the NHLPA but don't expect signing rights deadlines, qualifying offer deadlines, the opening of free agency, and (obviously) the draft to follow the usual plan.
