IN THE HEARTS OF MEN

What a series by this guy!!!! For all the stress... he really came to play this series. Habs are virtually unbeatable when they spot him 3 goals!

Why would anyone consider moving Evans from that line right now? A) they just completly shut down arguanly the best offensive duo in hockey B) gally got off the snide C) it offers 2 faceoff men D) Evans has arguably been our best skater over the 2 games hes been on the line E) Tatar who? F) all of the above Don't break what isn't broke. If it isn't working against the jets then ok... but, let's wait a second here. I was freakin on Staal for dumping that puck on the 3on2 but he had a great game 7. Maybe it pays to have Stanley cup championship experience after all! Quietly, Edmundson has been a beast and such a savvy pick up! That's a playoff Dman Right there. Chairot bounced back the last 3 games as well. And poor Weber... everyone bashes him and here he is playing 30 plus minutes a game... hurt wrist and all... My fkn Habs... luv it

Its ridiculous in fact... nobody can convince me otherwise!

We act like Bergevin is scared to fix his own mistakes. I dont genuinely believe he's scared to pull the trigger on anything including trading Weber... My concern is him getting involved in the coaching. Like the goal challenge or forcing the coach to dress certain players etc Also I can't see how Caufield gets taken out of this line up moving forward. I think both he and KK are in to stay. Next is Romanov for that plug Merril. Hopefully game 4 hes in... we look at leafs playing Sandin at same age and it drives me nuts! Game 3 could of gone either way. We had some real quality chances in the 1st and 3rd, sandwiched between a horrible 2nd period. The PP is such a momentum killer... both in favour of leafs. How's lehks? How soon till Evans is back?

Huge save on Marner

Is Perry hurt from spezza hit?

Anderson is flying

Whats up with Merril and weber pairing? Preparation to unleash Romanov game 2 and never look back?

Need to bury our chances and not make Campbell look like Roy... inwould love to chase him out of the net game 1 As for Price... he needs to be Hart like... As for the rookies...the coach is giving the vets first crack the decisions made... its now there spot to keep. Hopefully they come to play and rise to the occasion For me... 1) Stay out the box 2) have to establish a high relentless forecheck 3) can BEL line cancel out one of the top 2 lines of TO or overwhelm TO 4th line with there speed? 4)agitate and instigate All Night long 4) finish our chances

Fans at the Bell Centre for game 6? The premier should speed that up to game 3... Such a a beautiful sight seeing fans in FLA and Carolina!

KK and caufield in grey jersey at practice possibly indicating they will not be in lineup for game 1. Gallagher in red

Price has been good since the coaching change. Weber has not... that pair yesterday I was not a fan of. Weber forced to carry the puck... leave the kid with Weber and give the lions share of minutes to petry and Edmundson.

Byron is better then all of the above and he had a pretty good game. Missed a bunch of chances but props for creating said chances. Hes a very good 4th liner

Sergachev currently plays LD on TB 3rd pair.... he is nowhere near a #1 at this point in his career. Would he be a better fit on MTL 1st pair? Who knows

In no man's land there

isnt Ducharme stating Romanov will line up with Weber and not Kulak? And look at those numbers from Price over 4 starts! Wow!! Where you been Pricey, where you been!!

he did not deserve a demotIon.... And Edmundson should stay in lineup

Romanov being a rookie is B*llsh*t!! There's rookies younger than him literally everywhere playing big minutes in big situations accross the NHL. Dont tell me Romanov if given more of an oppurtunity cant step up to the plate like young Dmen b4 him! And with that said you think its better to put with our #1 Dman? You name Kulak who is playing as our 5/6 but fail to mention Weber who has underperformed more so than anyone. As well as Chairot who has look erratic at times playing with weber. Kulak has shown over and over again with added responsibilities he's been more than suffice. Not to mention those 2 have been great together b4. I wanna see Romanov in 3on3 and all PP situations! He and Petry should be the only dmen 3on3

i disagree... not that he wont step up to the plate tonight following Waites firing but of your assessment of his play. He has not been good all season for multiple seasos now. But, for some stretches in good play!!

I don't agree with Armia assessment... so he got kris-crossed in a scissors play in OT... He hasn't been any worse than other Habs during this stretch. He Suzy and JD have shown greta chemistry already in the playoff bubble... i think Chiarot and Weber need to be split more than any other line. Weber has not been good in particular

i luv the new FW configs... DD is really trying to build up Kotkaniemi and rightfully so if he wants to see real success. He started with serious PP time, then gave him some important faceoffs and even started the 3on3. Now coming off 3 strong games, he gives him our 2 best goalscorers not named gallagher. Its the kids chance to run with the opportunity, hopefully it sticks. As for D, I couldnt agree more. I think both Weber and Chiarot need a break from each-other and Weber needs much need an injection of life. Who else but Romanov to provide that youthful exuberance he has been lacking all year! Kulak Petry Romanov Weber Chairot Edmundson

KK... We can only hope Ducharme can help KK really blossom. Until then we wont take the next step full step. it was a good game for KK i liked romanovs game to.

Price's decline has been consistent since being hurt in NYR series... Everyone can say what they will but the stats show he's been bad far more then hes been great. Sure he's had some stretches where he's been Carey Hart Trophy Price but those games are few and far... Yes he was really good in the playoffs LY but end of the day, he got out dueled by Hart. Is the demise of Price organization-destroying? It is if Primeau cant play over his read through the rest of Prices contract. Driedger has out performed Brobovsky and FLA has gone with driedg... dont tell me Mtl cant do the same with Allen in short term...

Brady is a good hockey player
