Well ... at least Gorton got to see the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

A pricey editorial comment

YUP ... 3-4-5 Dallas, Colorado and Vancouver did well in that draft (Miro Heiskanen, Cale Makar and Elias Pettersson) ... Devils and Flyers (Nico Hischier & Nolan Patrick 1-2) not so much

Wideman covered "Gretzky's office" perfectly on the third goal (too bad it was empty) .... and Caufield was (to be kind) not well positioned against Burakovsky, and there wasn't really anything he could do against mom physically

Perrault may have some "deadline veteran" value ... I felt the whole;e team was physically overmatched ... habs best hit off the night was Romanov ... he took out Poehling and managed to slice up his own face on Ryan's visor

Allen playing well (IMO), with both teams having their moments ... Habs goal was on a PP by, of course Ben "Boom Boom" Chiarot ... of course they habs gave ups a shortie on one of their other three APPs

No ...... but the bloody siren does

This is amazing ... less than 3 weeks after surgery ... undoubtedly still quite some time to being cleared to play ... but if he can keep this up he will be in decent shape

Tend to agree ... it seems he may be the best prepared to make the jump directly in many, many years (the WJHC will be a window into seeing where he is at) ... but at least a couple of months with Laval certainly couldn't hurt.

Depending on how the Oil Kings do in the playoffs he may be able to get some games in with the Habs, or maybe The Rocket (they still have a shot at playing into May).

Assistant GM to Director ... ??? ... guess it depends on how the NHL defines the relative positions in org charts ... suspect it may also have something to do with the actual responsibilities as the title ... could make it VP Player Development if that would help.

Coaches always say the key is to "get back to basics ... so Lines, defense pairings and updates - December 2 (nhl.com) Toffoli - Dvorak - Anderson Drouin - Poehling - Armia Lehkonen - Suzuki - Evans Pezzetta - Perrault/Paquette - Caufield Chiarot - Savard Kulak - Petry Romanov - Wideman Norlinder Allen Montembeault Gallagher and Niku are out of the lineup as they have entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocol.

Unless his contract is ending, the Ducks unlikely to release him for a lateral position ... but an offer to replace Martin Lapointe as Director of Player Personnel and Amateur Scouting might be a possibility.

Some of her other claims haven't panned out ... but the NHL undoubtedly will NOT like this ... more "time off" to follow?

Bad news for them ... hope it doesn't spread further
