No ... but that doesn't mean they get to hit a defenceless player bent over reaching for the puck
I think it is pretty ridiculous to describe this hit in those terms. KK is trying to play the puck and Eller hits him. I don't see any evidence this hit was unlike most other hits. The other Canes seeing it didn't react at all. It wasn't until it became clear that KK was hurt that anyone was worried about the hit.
-
Hit happened with 6 seconds left. Its pretty clear the Canes are still playing and trying to score. Should Washington just let Necas get a hat trick?

The NHL has voided the trade. Vegas will now try to trade Dadonov with an incentive to pick up an LTIR contract. There's a certain Montreal-based team that has one of those although they'd undoubtedly want a deal that has less than four years left on it before anyone gets any ideas.
Yeah I figured 4 years was too much. What teams have LTIR contracts, are willing to take Dadonov and aren't on his no trade list?
-
The thing about this contract is that Carolina can buy the deal out for 1/3 the cost during the first half of the deal. To me that greatly reduces the risk they are taking. Of course this depends on the way the deal is structured and the size of any signing bonuses.
To me the real risk is on KK's side. If he turns into a good player he is locked in at a low salary. If he stagnates, he'll get bought out for 1/3 the value of the deal.
-
The problem is, once they call it their only two choices after the review are minor or major penalty.

Let's pull our goalie here.

Mailloux 0pts 0shots 0pims
Guhle 2a, end of 1st period. 36pts in 36 1/3gms.
Mailloux scored as the third shootout shooter sealing London's 2-0 shootout victory.

When was the last time we scored an overtime goal?

When was the last time we scored an empty net goal?

Is there a record somewhere of wins and losses on goal and offside reviews?

In my view, if a criminal like Carla Homolka was let to resume her life after paying for her crimes... so can Logan Mailloux
I agree in general, but I don't think it is at reasonable to claim that she paid for her crimes. She manipulated the system in order to escape any punishment appropriate for her crimes.
-
I agree just get the best person. If we get an advantage by considering people other teams are overlooking that's great. My worry is that most (but not all) women have come up through the woman's game which is very different. I want someone with some NHL or AHL coaching or managing experience.
-
I think the Canes offer sheet was a mistake. If KK signs long term for under 4 million I'll change my mind (provided he lives up to something approaching that). If he doesn't, they have a player expecting a 6 million dollar qualifying offer and hence who cannot be traded. I don't see any reason why KK won't wait for them to make him a qualifying offer or leave as a free agent.

Romanov shouldn't have to eat some punches at the very end of the game for a clean hit. So stupid.
I see Godjovich got an instigator penalty for that fight. I believe that's an automatic 1 game suspension for instigating in the final 5 minutes of the third. He deserves it.

a) 44(w) - 29(l) - 5(otl)-4(sol) - 97pts
b) 4th in the division
c) 12th in the league
d) 31 goals

Well I love this deal. Especially when I think about Ottawa and Tkachuck.

For roster compliance purposes, they could have put claims in for both. Had they got both, they'd have just sent Poehling down to get back to 23 on the opening roster with Belzile hitting waivers soon after.
Thanks.

ABB went to the Seattle Kraken
Whoops I mixed up the expansion teams. I concede that does mean he went "long before" Montreal.
-
Well Vegas got him so I wouldn't call that "long before" Montreal. My question is really, would they risk putting claims on both and getting both. I guess the only downside would be with their 50 contract limit and even then they could waive one and hope their team grabs him back.
-
Any chance we also put in a claim on Alex Barré-Boulet?

Wednesday maybe? No pucks are being dropped yet today. 🙂
This season looks crazy unpredictable, I really have no idea what will happen!
Whoops. Fixed now.

The 16th Annual HabsWorld regular season prediction contest.
Hall of Fame:
2006-2007 Jean won with a prediction of 92 points when the Habs finished the year with 90 pts. If only we could have won that last game.
2007-2008 Adirondack Bud exactly predicted our final total of 104 pts.
2008-2009 Zowpeb won by predicting a strong start followed by a slower 2nd half ending with 99 points. The Habs finished the season in 8th place with 93 points. On September 22, 2008 Zowpeb predicted "I think we'll see a rough patch just past the mid-year point..." Wow!

Honourable mention to kaos who predicted a season record of 39-34-9 (87 pts) while the Habs finished 39-33-10.
2010-2011 Chips produced the all time best prediction. His preseason prediction of 44-30-8 for 96 pts 6th in the East, 14th in the NHL was exactly correct in every aspect. That amazing feat will be hard to duplicate.
Honourable mentions went to Seb whose excellent prediction of 44-30-8 for 96 pts. 5th in east, 13th in NHL came up just short; and to Peter Puck who also correctly predicted the Habs would finish with 96 points.

2013-2014 Meller93 exactly predicted the Habs final record 46-28-5-3.
Honourable mention to thehabbit who correctly predicted the Habs final point total and just missed getting their record exactly right.2013-2014 nihliz predicted 50-23-5-4 for 109 points. In fact the Habs finished the season 50-22-5-5 for 110 points. Honourable mentions went to nhfarberwho predicted 49-23-4-6 for 108 points and to sakiqc who predicted 51-26-1-4 for 107 points
2015-2016 Chris predicted 40-30-8-4 for 92 points. The injury ridden Habs finished the season 38-38-3-3 for 82 points.
2016-2017 The Habs finished the regular season 47-26-7-2 for 103 points.
Using tie breakers:

Honourable mentions to kaos and Bluecross.
kaos predicted 46-26-6-4 = 102 pts
BlueKross predicted 46-24-6-4 =102 pts.
2017-2018 The Habs finished the regular season 29-40-7-6 for 71 points.

Honourable mention to:
tomh009 who predicted 0-0-0-82. Unfortunately for posterity tomh009 also predicted 40-32-10
2021 Season The Habs finished the season 24-21-8-3 for 59 points in the North Division in 56 games.
Habsfan84 won by predicting 27-22-3-4 for 61 points. Like every entry his prediction overestimated the Habs final points.
Habsfan84 also correctly predicted the Habs would get to the 2nd round but thought they would lose there instead of making the Stanley Cup final.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2021-2022 edition
Similar rules as last season.Predict
a) what the Habs regular season record will be: wins-losses-OTL-SOL
b) in what place in the Atlantic Division the Habs will finish
c) in what place in the league the Habs will finish
d) (New Tiebreaker) the total number of goals Cole Caufield will score this season (including 1 goal per shootout win).
The winner will be based upon the most accurate prediction of the Habs final points.In the event of a tie bonus points will be awarded for getting the number of wins, number of losses, number of OTL's or number of SOL's correct.
The latter three predictions will be used successively to break ties.
The season is planned for 82 games. In the event that fewer than that are played the Habs record will be pro-rated to 82 games.
The decision of Peter Puck is final. Contest is void where prohibited.
Don't forget to separate overtime losses and shootout losses.Entries due before puck drop on Wednesday October 13 at 7:07pm EST.
Good luck.

I thought that the Habs did want Condon back. This case is one reason why I thought we might trade Mountembault.

That would surprise me. The Habs are second-last in waiver priority so the fact they got him means everyone but Tampa Bay passed on him for free so they're not going to trade a draft pick for him a few weeks later. If Price is ready to go early in the season and they don't want to carry three goalies, Montembeault will be back on waivers before a team can determine if they have an underachieving goalie. There will be other goalies on waivers between now and then as well.
Well, this only happens if Price is out for 3 weeks (or more) and Montembeault has time for a couple of good games and some team discovers their goalies suck. I don't really expect it to happen but it could.
Regular Season Prediction Contest
in Habs & Hockey Talk

With last night's loss to the Senators, we can now declare the winner of the 16th Annual Prediction Contest!
Dalhabs predicted 74 points and the Habs currently have 49 points with 12 games remaining.
A 12 game winning streak to end the season would leave the Habs with 73 points.
The runner-up is titanfan whose prediction of 76 points is only off by (at least) 3 points.
