Well, Mailloux is off to a strong start with the London Knights. He scored two assists in his first game, and two goals in his second game.

Another Habs breakaway (Suzuki) and a slash at the last moment causes Suzuki to flub the shot. No penalty again!? Referees are a joke in this game.

What was that effing ref looking at on the Caufield Breakaway?!

Is it just me, or is the Savard Kulak pairing one of the worst defensive duos the Habs have ever iced? I know the team is decimated by Covid19 but these players are supported to be NHL experienced blueliners.

Hey everyone A new Habsworld podcast is now online. Jonathan Rebelo, Paul Macleod and I had a lot to talk about including Geoff Molson's front office clean out, Marc Bergevin’s regime with the Habs, some potential GM replacements, Alexander Romanov and much more. I hope you'll give us a listen, and rate us through your favourite podcast feeder. http://www.habsworld.net/2021/12/habsworld-podcast-episode-86/ https://habsworld.podomatic.com/enclosure/2021-12-01T10_53_47-08_00.mp3

Clague is an interesting pick up. He was pushed down the King depth chart after Sean Durzi arrived; from what I can tell he was their #8 defenceman not including injured veteran Sean Walker. He's just in his 3rd season as a pro, and spent most of that time developing in the AHL with a few call ups the first two seasons. He's supposed to be very mobile, a good skater, and mindful enough defensively. He's only 6' 00 in size so he will struggle against larger opponents like all small-ish offensive blueliners do. I think this is a good move, since he's a much better pro prospect than Corey Schueneman. I hope this move is not at the expense of Norlinder, as I would like to see him given more of a look with the Habs.

Neech, I agree with you, and said pretty much the same thing in the latest Habsworld podcast (#85).

If Allen is going to miss the next game, for the love of God Bergevin, call up Primeau. Of course Dom will need to start him, and I am not confident he will.

Podcast article URL Hey everyone! The newest Habsworld podcast, episode 85 was recorded this week. Many Habs topics were discussed as well as a few NHL ones. I hope you will give us a listen and share some feedback.

That's accurate, but also very true for nearly every NHL team. Let's see what happens when the Leafs finally get a penalty or more called against them.

Great start for the Dvorak line on the first shift!!

Hey everyone! We recorded a new Habsworld podcast last night. Among the many topics we discussed the Nick Suzuki contract extension, Carey Price entering the Player Assistance program, the Jesperi Kotkaniemi offer sheet saga, along with all of the off-season additions, pre-season moves, and much more. Please give it a listen. I love any feedback, good or bad. Podcast URL

Excellent. Thanks Brian!

I would love to know, exactly what types of bonuses are given to new players on their ELC, and on 35+ veterans on their one year contracts. So far I have heard only rumours of bonuses for rookies like voting for the Calder trophy and for winning it; also bonuses of games played for veterans. If anyone knows of any recent examples of either class of bonus, please let me know.

Hi everyone! I recorded a new HW podcast along with Paul MacLeod and Jonathan Rebelo. Topics discussed include the changes to the team via free agency, the Seattle expansion draft, the very controversial first round amateur draft selection of Logan Mailloux, and much more. These recent podcasts have been recorded using Zoom to help improve the quality. I hope you have have a listen, and encourage you to give us feedback. https://www.habsworld.net/2021/08/habsworld-podcast-episode-83/

Hey everyone. We recorded a new podcast Sunday night, where we talked about the finals, the playoffs, the expansion draft and much more. Give us a listen and I welcome any feedback you have, to help us improve. https://www.habsworld.net/2021/07/habsworld-podcast-episode-82/

Habsworld podcast #79 is now online, through the webiste and your favourite podcast feeder. We talked a lot about the predatory hit to Jake Evans, the NHL suspension, game 1 of the Jets series, and much more. Give it a listen. https://www.habsworld.net/2021/06/habsworld-podcast-episode-79/

Wow, what a game! Bring on the Jets!! I'd just like to pat myself on the back, by reminding y'all that I picked the Habs in 7 games. https://www.habsworld.net/2021/05/habsworld-predicts-2021-playoffs-round-1-part-2/

Here is some cool trivia about Kotkaniemi and his OT goal last night.

I would *love* to see Perry back next season. He's earned another contract, and I think he may prefer to re-sign with the Habs instead of rolling the dice with the Kraken. It's doubtful to me that Anaheim will want him back as they are going full boar on a youth movement.

Nice goal for Suzuki!

Podcast #76 is now online. We recorded this after the trade deadline, and had a lot to say about the Habs. I believe our audio quality is much improved since moving to Zoom. Give it a listen and let us know what you think. https://www.habsworld.net/2021/04/habsworld-podcast-episode-76/

Sweet goal by Toffoli !!!!

Anderson PPG! Woooooooooooooooo!
