  1. It's a tradition going back to the Brodeur days that Habs-Devils games are snoozers that we lose.
  2. Stiff Weenie for Celebrini as Hockey Junkie says.
  3. I thought Newhook had a good game and made some nice passes. Roy looked solid as well. Our first line had some chances but just didn't click. Slaf's shot still needs a lot of work. Primeau was decent but tipped in the first Pens goal. See ya in three weeks.
  4. Not great for Slaf to take three penalties, but it's a part of the learning curve. Roy looks like he belongs already. He could do well on the powerplay in Newhook's spot.
  5. I thought Slaf should have shot it the first time, but the second try almost worked. Cole was taking some punishment by the net.
  6. Another bomb from Arber. This kid is special and when we get back to the playoffs he'll be a difference maker.
  7. Our Large Slovakian Murder Toddler rides again. Same lineup as last game? Puck drop at 7.
  8. Minny and Vancouver put up a 10-7 football score with Casey Desmith letting in 8 on 25 shots. Matthews keeps scoring and looks like he'll hit 70 easily.
  9. There's also the Russian factor working against a few of the top D men (as well as Demidov), so a big Canadian C is a safer pick. If we somehow win the lottery and get a top 2 pick I'll be over the moon.
  10. Probably gone in the top 2, 3 at the latest. Hard to pass over a big physical centre with a nose for the net. We still have a decent shot at the #5 slot if Ottawa and Arizona get their act together.
  11. Tough night for Kovacevic, who is usually pretty low event. I'd rather not give up 7 every other night. On the other hand, Slaf and Cole continue to produce. I thought Anderson was decent as well. This team is a long way from being solid defensively. Matheson is good but isn't an anchor that the kids can lean on.
  12. Perfect tank season win. Blowout at home, shutout for our goalie, some fights with our guys standing up for each other, our young studs show out. That was a pitiful showing by a terrible Ducks team so we can temper our glee, but a fun night to remove the stink of the last game.
  13. Pearson had a nice period, maybe someone will want him at the deadline.
  14. Damn I just saw the Harris hit, absolutely brutal. Guhle also went down, didn't see what happened though. As for positives, Roy showed some flashes in the third.
  15. Jakey's not helping his trade value today. Slaf looks like a top 6 player with so much room to grow.
  16. Yeah, if he pans out to be just a bottom pairing plug then we'll have missed out on a decent return. I'd rather bet on him though. It would be awful to see him thrive somewhere else.
  17. Arber has far more offense than Komi ever had, both shooting and passing. If he played next to Markov I'm sure he'd look like a defensive stalwart too (and not have his lunch handed to him when challenged physically).
  18. Great shooting from Slaf, maybe the two nicest goals of his career so far. Why is Arber playing fewer minutes than Gignac? It seems like he's being scapegoated. Hopefully it's a part of a process and we're sticking with him, because he's shown more for me than Harris or Barron.
  19. Good to see Arber back out there! At least one of our young defenders will probably get dealt this offseason and I hope it's not him.
  20. Wow, we have the worst goalie pool in Canadian hockey history (I thought Demko was Canadian for some reason). Only Sweden perhaps of the top 5 nations has it worse at the moment. Helps to have the reigning Cup winner though, and it's a short tourney where you only need to get hot for 3 elimination games.
  21. Newhook will have a tough go playing as the 2C with mediocre linemates. His future is likely on the wing.
  22. Good return, I expect the 1st to be flipped for another young player but I wouldn't mind them using it to draft another forward. Keeping the retention slot is huge if we're able to move Armia or Savard. The rest of the season won't be pretty with our current centre depth.
