Overtime? Overtime? Bad example. Habs wrapped this up in the second and the final was 9-2. Gonchar plays 10 minutes of the third to rest our horses for the next game.

That's no terrorist tunnel dug in Toronto. Just a hiding place for the Leafs.

Smith did step it up in the playoffs last year. 5 goals. Had to count for something with MB - a playoff performer, more grit when it's needed most.

Here's hoping for a Diaz - Weise result.

Hubba hubba who?

His game last night, while not free of mistakes, was considerably more dynamic than I expected and markedly better than I've seen from him before. It was the little things that made the biggest differences. In particular I felt his decisions and reactions were at a speed necessary to succeed at the NHL level. Now we have to see if that was adrenaline-assisted, or whether this call-up is *the one,* so to speak. If he continues as he did, it's a strong base point for a developing, full-time NHLer.

Every time I heard that name - Hayes - last night, the only thing that went through my head was Willie Mays Hayes. Points if you can identify that reference.

I think MB's trigger won't change no matter what Tinordi, Pateryn or Beaulieu do. If they work themselves into the lineup, then fantastic. If not, we have cover. I don't think the upgrade is on them - they are what they are: rookies continually (hopefully) improving their craft. Now, Weaver and Gilbert on the other hand..... That's where the upgrade will really be seen.

I would bet money that emelin is an ac separation. 6 weeks is about right.
Semantics, but separation is when then ligament is torn = surgery. Dislocation is more likely what he has. Severe dislocation is still surgery because it quite often also means separation, but more likely he's just stretched and pulled and damaged all the ligaments, tendons and muscles. I know this because I did it last Wednesday night.
-
Pateryn wasn't special last night, but neither was he bad.
-
Lots of tubular bells.
This game was *not* totally tubular, dude.
-
Just wondering if Emelin sent to hospital during game or 'seen' leaving with shoulder wrapped up, or Subban leave rink in a 'walkin boot' type deal?
Don't know about Emelin, but I believe Subban was seen being pushed home by Markov.

You mean like in half the seasons since 2000? I think we're due for a little injury luck.
Talk about a jinx. Someone shut this poster up and keep him the hell off the boards.
Any word on Emelin, Gonchar or Subban yet?
Usually not until afternoon or when the swelling goes down (up to a few days).

So last night they insinuated that the Habs may have been looking at Polak and not necessarily Kessel. Interesting.
This morning I read that the Habs might be looking at Brayden Coburn - with a side dish of Wayne Simmonds. Also interesting.

What's with backups going in agianst MTL
We pose little offensive threat.
-
If I am MB I do not trade Tinordi at this point. He is potentially the type of Dman that we have yearned for since I can remember. Just imagine him clearing the crease in front of Price and the opposition would think twice before taking a run at him. Carey needs to be protected.
Neither do I, if I'm honest. But if you want to buy big, you have to pay big, and if it doesn't hurt you to get a star piece, then you're in HWL or there's something really wrong.

Eller, Thomas, Tinordi and what's-his-name with the huge salary in Hamilton on defence for Kessel AND a pick. Book it Dan'O.

Boy...Kessel is a ton of scoring talent and speed...wouldn't look bad on our squad, not at all. Get him out of the toxic waste dump of TO, put him in a real organization where he is not asked to be the face of the team, watch the red light go off quite a bit. A very, very tempting thought.
Sadly, there's the other side of the coin to this story - in which a small toxic waste dump is dropped rather unceremoniously in the dressing room. Rumours and innuendo, I know, but Kessel seems the kind of guy that could just as easily blow a great team apart.
-
Apparently a large contingent of the Habs front office was at the Toronto - Florida game tonight. Presumably scouting both teams. Rest of the week could be very busy indeed. And not just with games.

No.
Oh but yes. So much yes!

Great Gilbert and Weaver against wings. ............ neither one NHL quality D.
Habs lack of depth magnified with a single injury.
Shudder to even picture what they would look like if they were hammered with a half dozen injuries to key players all at once like jets, pens and a few other teams were.

Twitter kicking around Sharp rumours since Bergevin is watching the game in Chicago.
-
So, apparently this Kessel thing to Montreal is picking up steam based on his comments from last night. Stubbs, from the Gazette, is going to post a follow-up on that later today... (No clue if there's meat to those bones, but it's interesting that Subban's comments have greased the rumour wheel.)

Interesting. Please elaborate on why you don't think you need to elaborate.
