I was thinking even lower icetime?, but maybe, as many whine about, he simply isn't being played with right guys and LL-Thomas-Andrighetto may do super? Pateryn now with 3a, he has to be getting close to be a last NHL game or 2 call up (if Tampa far enough up/down)? I thought he would get a shot in March, but just too many d-men and Habs are winning.

Thomas shot tipped by Maxim guy, 3-2 dogs

Downgrading your expectations for poor Jack dlbalr? He is Conboy-Shultz quality you expect? Likely. Anyways, he has 1g 1a vs Remparts, 6pts in 5 games (3rd period) isn't too bad for a goon.

LL is just so quiet (I wonder what his minutes/game are?) he was 31games 11g 22pts in 2011-12 he is 59 games 12g 24pts Shaw scores and 2-2

29th PP beat the 27th PK and Beaulieu shot is tipped by Macenaur (sp tough), 1-1 The swiss-kid wrists one to top corner and 2-1 dogs (Beaulieu picks up another assist)!

Well, didn't take long (3:17) and dogs down 1-0. Then Czarnik takes lazy penalty. The new UNH signing isn't playing today.

Rock em-Sock em Philly! Are beating smogtown team 2-1, Go Giroux Go! With the funky beard, Couturier really is going for the Voyageur look I guess? Giroux does score, make it 3-1 Philly and Leaf defense is just horrible, one scoring chance after another..poor Bernier.

I know CHL is very strict on keeping bonus$$/perks from the players (or teams giving plane tickets to their families). But for a situation like Bozon, I would hope Molson would be able to (already have?) help him/family with some expenses? Or is that taboo also?

I think Habs are more concerned with Beaulieu's attitude than his play and are looking more at the next 10 years, instead of just this spring. And if Bergevin can sign 2 of them for $3m in total, what risk is there. If Beaulieu was lighting up the AHL, he would be up, but he isn't and maybe he will realize he needs to train harder and be more hungry come the fall? But he will be available, with Hamilton missing playoffs. So, it may be a bit crowded on d, with 26, 74, 76, 79, 24 +whomever else; but depth/competition is a good thing.

A fair fight for the Dogs maybe?

They are squeezing every bit out of his contract eh? Well, no harm in that, am more curious where he will be in Sept/Oct than this spring anyways. CHL hopefully. Sudbury down 3-0 1/2 way through 1st, much better!

I think character he has in spades. And given the gongshow in Hamilton, I imagine he would much rather spend this weekend in Florida on a winning team, play a bit of hockey/beach/golf whatever; instead of starting a crazy long road bus roadtrip with Bulldogs. As Stogey says, he needs icetime and experiance vs the best competition to improve and I really think 1 more off-season training and he could be more of that monster crease-clearer the Habs and Price want to see.

crap!

He is fine and vs Panthers how much damage can he do in his 5 or 6 shifts? Basically coasting to the finish line now anyways.

Ahh, didn't know that, thanks again.

Just saw replays of Weber getting 20th goal of season. 2 rocket slap shots from close range, poor Sabres goalies just getting shellacked every game. Poor bastards.

Why not a 3 year deal, as Bozon-Dietz-Hudon got? They arnt really that sold on him maybe, similar to Thrower?

Don't think will hurt one bit for Lehkonen to play at least 1 more year in SHL, given how 'slight' he is. And he will be back at world juniors again next year, along with Reway, de la Rose, Fucale, and maybe long shots McCarron and Gregoire? (my crystal ball says, Habs 1st pick this year Jack Glover will be there )

I think Subban was thinking of Florida beachs 20 minutes too early. What did Tinordi do to be benched for final 2 periods? I missed any big error he had? Plekanec sucked...on faceoffs, went 2-12 vs rookie centremen. Also, must of assumed win was in the bag way too early and was seeing hat-trick headlines dancing in his head. Much more entertaining game than I expected. Vanek not turning out to be that bad a pick-up eh. Markov-Subban 94points between them. Galchenyuk's +/- not getting any prettier, but still shows signs of what he may become down the road (Gallagher almost 2x the shots as Alex, hit the net kid). nice start to road trip

I assume Cape Breton totally sucks, so likely next round will lower those stats.

Gionta really has a knack for angling players off into corner. Frickin good game now.

Holy crap, is a good game. Nooooooo, did Rene just toss a Wing to the ice?

I think Briere thrives on low minutes? And of course many will say. "No way MT is smart enough to do something that smart." Vanek is stronger and more skilled than I noticed before. Hand/eye is awesome.

well, may add some spice to game? I still don't think any Hab has broken a sweat in last 5 periods. Whooooo!!! nice shot. Can you imagine a few games with both #20 and 67 hot at same time.

Focus PK focus!
