Nice to see Evans get some NHL time, which he obviously wouldnt if Habs were in playoffs and Thompson would still be a Hab.

Has Weise been getting worse lately, or just my imagination.

I don’t think it’s possible for weisse to get worse.  Probably Just noticing him now for what he is - a marginal AHLer.

At the beginning of his NHL stint, he was serviceable.  Not great, but not useless either.  Now, he's looking more and more like the marginal AHL player we all knew he was.

Julien: "Kirk, have you got the powerplay strategies ready?"
Muller: "You know it, boss!"

Julien: "Awesome, what have you got for me?"

Muller: "We set up Weber for a blast from the point!"

Julien: "Classic. Very old school. What else have you got?"

Muller: "... else? ... uh well, we, uh we set up... Weber... for a blast from the... other point?"

Julien: "...................... and your third strategy?"

Muller: "We set up Domi!"

Julien: Yes"

Muller: "Who sets up Weber!"

Julien: "plz no"

Muller: "Who blasts it from just above the goal line!"

Julien: "You're fired."

Muller: "Weal will be on both PP units."

Julien: "You're back in. Do you have room for Evans too?"

Not a whole lot mattered to #TeamTank tonight, beside the Habs loss. The bad was the Sad Sack Sabres losing again, and Minnesota getting spanked by LA. But NJ won to pass Buffalo up the standings, and they have a chance at passing the Habs in points with their games in hand. Nashville also won their game to put a bit of distance between themselves and Montreal (who face each other in their next game Tuesday.)

 

On Sunday we cheer for Chicago to beat St Louis, and Anaheim to beat Minnesota in overtime, (while slightly caring about Carolina beating Pittsburgh, Vancouver beating Columbus, and San Jose beating Colorado.)

 

On Monday we cheer for Buffalo to get their shit together against Washington, Arizona to beat Winnipeg in overtime, and Florida to beat St Louis.

 

Tank on, brothers.

1 and 1/2 out of 5 on Sunday. 2 out of 3 on Monday (bonus win by LA for those whose faith in The Tank is truly the strongest among us.)

 

Arizona and Chicago continue to find new ways to disappoint like me to my father when I quit school to join a commune and start a Dead Can Dance tribute drum circle but he just didn't understand that sometimes art can burst through you like a beam of white light and you're not even really controlling it but just a conduit to it's beauty anditcanbemorepowerfulthanafather'sloveeventhoughitwouldbenicetohavehimcallandjusttellmeheunderstandsIdon'tevenneedhimtobeproudbutjustunderstandmepapa.

 

 

Get it together Yotes and Hawks!
