Awful result last night with San Jose giving up the losing goal with 16 seconds left in the 3rd. I still think we have a tough enough schedule in March to crack the bottom 5 in the league.

whoops, screw up in the poll - there should be a NONE option on the second question, I don't know if a moderator could insert that.

The trade deadline is only two weeks away, and I for one am hoping for a flurry of deals. Lots of different directions that HuGort can go. What are you hoping to see?

Bad hit into the boards, possible/probable concussion. Our rookie D are dropping like flies!

Nice for Suzuki to get a couple points heading into the break. Harvey-Pinard's a fun story, he'll be on the team next year for sure.

I for one will pretend this game never happened.

Beck makes his surprise debut, Habs lineup back to 12 forwards and 6 defensemen. Wideman out, Kovacevic back in while Edmundson nurses his injury. Hoping for a fun game and 0 points in the standings.

Hoping for another spirited regulation loss. Can't say I prefer seeing Wideman out there to HondaCivic.

I hope Dach is a Bruin killer. Great to see him step up. Good results tonight with a Florida OT loss.

Lol what would the GM of a junior team know about that?

Can Lucic suit up for the Bruins tonight so Arby can smash him?

It's a good price, but we're still at the stage of amassing premium assets rather than fine-tuning by swapping them out for shorter-term pieces. Add that to the chance of him coming here for free in a year, and it would be a bonehead move to acquire Dubois. For once, let's live out the fairytale of a Quebec star signing here to win a Cup!

No way we trade either of our first rounders for a 25 year old. If Dubois really wants to come here he can sign another one year deal and come here as a UFA. Otherwise no reason to divert from the rebuild.

So I guess Byron will retire this offseason? I thought he would have been a good deadline pickup at 50% retained for a contender if he was back on the ice this year, he was always a solid playoff performer. Wouldn't have beaten the Leafs without his epic third period dangle in game one.

Slaf out three months, just brutal.

Really sad about Slaf. Don't think I'll be tuning in too much with him out.

Lol then maybe we should boycott American players.

Another 6 weeks out for Gally. Maybe he can take the Price/Weber LTIR route after next year.

If we're going to pick up points I want it to involve gratuitous stat-padding.

Strange timing, I guess I'll have it on the background of the NFL game. Unfortunate for the NHL to have the Rangers play at the same time as the Giants.

Good to get the 0 points here as the results around the league were not good for the tank.

McCagg on Marinaro a few days ago said that he didn't think the Habs would draft any Russian players, and whether or not his intel is right I imagine there are a few NHL clubs thinking along these lines. This could be a recipe for Michkov to fall into our lap, and I saw a stats guy on twitter saying that MM is one of the best European prospects we've ever seen based on the numbers.

It's so unfortunate that the first star in home wins has to endure the cringeworthy on-ice Marc Denis interview. Cole seemed like his dog just died. Slaf was the only one who had fun with it, and that's cause he was brand new to the league and hadn't yet been made into a standard NHL automaton when speaking to the press (which apparently has happened to our Cole, who we know has a lot of personality and used to seem like such a boisterous and exuberant young man).

Cole looking like Ovi in the left circle office.

That was an exciting period. Dadanov showing that he may be worth a mid round pick to a contender.
