  1. On that note, Farber told me he was going to be away from yesterday til next weekend. Going on a vacation I guess. Is everyone cool with the trades just sitting there til then?

    I'd like to see mine go through so I can get a better sense of my team, but I don't have a problem waiting if there isn't a back up TC of some kind. :)

  2. WELL..... this is great news

    I returned from a reconstructed acl, lcl and quad tendon after 13 months with a semi tendinousis procedure (hamstring) and ive never looked back..

    clearly markov rushed back from his first procedure (less then 6 months) but im not to worried about his 2nd procedure because his first was with a cadavor (corpse's achilles tendon) so the rehab was far less, but the failure rate higher! they say ligamentization occurs after six months (the body breaks down the tendon and rebuilds it as a ligament) he was back prior!

    this 2nd time round they used his patella tendon (tendon that holds the knee cap in place).. so outside of a 2nd clean up of the actual joint to remove debris, bone chips and the ligamant/ tendon its essentially his first procedure! the rehab is much more because the knee cap has to restabilize but the knee itself should be just fine the trama of the operation is much less.

    lets hope he where's his brace early on and remember he's not even 1 year post op! so he's on schedule..

    gorges was back earlier because he used a cadavor and its holding up...

    Yeah thats great info there! Thanks!

  3. Ha ha, no, I didn't mean you personally - I meant that people in general have never really needed to speak French in order to make a life for themselves in Montreal. With an English-speaking community numbering between 600 000 to 1 million depending on how it's defined, there was always the option of living in a mostly English bubble. I was making a historical point about my former hometown. Sorry, didn't mean to offend.

    Wasn't offended no worries :P

  4. About the opener, what was the stat I think Brian used... we are 1 and 7 in out last 8 openers and the win was in a shootout?

    That predates JM.

    I mean I wish we could have Guy Boucher... but I really do not have any major problems with JM. The coach can only do so much before it becomes the players respectability to well... play.

    I think we are being over critical.

  5. For those of you counting the days before Rick DiPietro got hurt again, the final count is at 8 days. He took a shot off the head in practice and was undergoing tests today to see if he has a concussion as a result. Isles fans can rejoice knowing there's only one more yea...I mean decade left in that contract.

    Oh wow... Man that is so brutal! I wonder if he will ever play more then 20 games?

  6. There's still a long ways to go before I'm ready to call that a good move for the Avs. (I get why they did it but that was too steep for my liking.)

    Of course, a lot of season to go. I 100% that they gave to much for him.

  7. Here are my guesses as to why Moen's on that line:

    - It worked well last game and Martin doesn't like to mess with success

    - The Habs often use Plekanec as a shutdown guy, having a second defensive player would be helpful if that's how they plan to use the line tonight

    - Keeping the balance of 3 'scoring' lines, take Kostitsyn off the 3rd line and a trio of Moen-Desharnais-Darche isn't likely to be any sort of threat

    - Chemistry with Plekanec/Moen from time on the PK

    I think those two reasons are why he is there for sure. (he also started fast last year didn't he? Getting some early goals and looked solid at the start of the season?)

  8. 550,00 is not an option for signing bonus and Mitchell Spencer does not like TW contracts (i.e. he won't even consider it).

    The 550 was a typo... but he did except the contract (it was 500)

    30-8-2016 Mitchell Spencer agrees on a contract. Mitchell Spencer has signed a $525,000 per year, 2 year deal with the Ottawa Senators. Detailed terms of the deal were not announced.

    A native of Canada, Mitchell Spencer was originally drafted to the NHL by the Montreal Canadiens in the 3rd round of the 2012 entry draft. He has not yet played at NHL level. The 23 year old center is looking forward for the start of the season.

    He agreed in my simulation... so...
