I do not believe HughGort have any sentimentalism towards the history of the franchise or are any interest in dipping into nepotism. I think that ship is parked on the marketing department and away from hockey decision.

I am rooting for Roy, very unlikely he wins this series, but I am rooting for him. He is a passionate hockey "lifer" and has a very intense coaching style, while showing his deep knowledge-of and respect-for the game in interviews. I think he is an interesting coach to follow.

I like this chart mapping all probabilities leading to a cup final:

don't forget that MTL is cursed and that key players get hurt at the worst of times. Having extra depth on RD can only be positive

Guhle is more effective on LD. Once Savard is moved or retires (if he stays) Reinbacher, Mailloux, and Barron would be a solid RD. With Kovacevic as a ackup in case of injuries, if he is not traded by that time. Of course, it depends on how well they all develop

If you take their age difference as an indicator of the potential for the younger one to improve. Kovacevic (26) has had 4 more years than Barron (22) to develop. At 22, Kovacevic was in the AHL: 29Games 2g 12a 14pts Barron's combined AHL;NHL: 80Games 9g 15a 24pts So, IMHO, there is hope for Barron.

in my potato head eyes, he would be a good replacement for Kovacevic down the road.

I watched the end of the NYI game. I am cheering for St-Patrick. They were in defending mode early in the 3rd and static in their zone (per RDS commentators) ; so at that point I thought that they may screw up. But I was still hoping for a main for them.

I watched quite a few Laval Rocket games this season and I do not think Mailloux is ready. Despite the criticism, Barron does a better job in the NHL than Mailloux. Also, Hutson needs time to develop his potential. Let’s not rush him.

yes, I don't that little puk Marchand anywhere near the cup.

I was too optimistic on the club, I thought they would do much better. Congratulations @xXx..CK..xXx !

Seems like you won this one, @xXx..CK..xXx !!! @Peter Puck , I am right?
