Sitting on the train heading home after the game. What a game it was! I proudly wore my new Weber jersey. Top 5 jerseys that I saw tonight: Price Galchenyuk Gallagher Weber Pacioretty I saw one person wearing a Subban jersey (!) - and without fail, saw one Cammalleri jersey. For a guy who only played two years in MTL, I see his jersey at every game. Crazy.

I think I read that too about Shaw. Based on who the CH may want to protect from the expansion draft, I think they will let Danault play himself into Deharnais' spot and that they will let the three others (Andrighetto, Carr, Hudon) contend for the last spot in the protection list. I also hope they keep the 2 extra defenders, and that they manage Markov's playing time in what should be his last season. With a healthy Price this team should make it to the playoffs and if the team's newly acquired leadership can deliver as advertised they should do OK but unfortunately short of contending for the cup. Still good with this bit though Al? Could be bang on, but gall darn hard to see this 3rd straight great start to season and not envision a deep run in May-June as more likely than not.

I just wanted to repost this since I do not get too many predictions right I don't post often, but enjoy reading everyone's contributions
