Should be an entertaining 3rd period and would be a bonus to add this win/2 points and help sink frickin Leafs.

Hey hey hey, Beaulieu blasts a PP goal, 4-1.

Swedish Tank 3hits/5 blocks in 8minutes. Weaver 2hits/4blocks in 10minutes, filling in for Gorges OK.

Dubbie is in for Tokarski start of 3rd period.

Sven B makes it 4-0 on PP

Murray-Weaver only players on either team who are +2.

2 points for Rene....that MT is a genius!

Reimer sucks!

14 and 15 shots for teams, but 3-0 after 1.

Corey Locke scores on PP 1-0 for Heat in 1st period. now2-0 Heat now 3-0 (still in 1st period)

Gregoire to Hudon for EN goal today. Reway another 2a today Nevins 1g McCarron 1a so far in what looks like a blow out over Spitfires. Fucale wins again, peppered with 18 shots, giving up 1 goal.

Leafs currently @ 60% chance of making playoffs (habs 93.9%). When Habs beat them today, Leafs odds drop 13.7% and like you say will make them squirm a bit for sure (and would boost Habs chances to 97.7%, apart from other wins/losses today).

Time for Vanek to gift wrap a couple goals for Pacioretty, who is due to score again. Both teams should be up for game and expect very entertaining play.

Bournival played 2 games, his line had bunch shots/scoring chances in first game and he instantly raised both linemates play, then he gets a breakaway and draws penalty shot. He makes stuff happen and creates his own opportunities, Leblanc just dosent seem in same calibre as Bournival, why he hasn't improved I think is 99% between his ears. Maybe he is pissed off, not hungry enough, too slow a skater, too soft, or combo of things, but not so much because of who he is playing with?

Any roster spot with Bourque in it.

Well he started off playoffs with 4point game, so another later (116th) pick lookin good for TT!

I think he had 3a yesterday and 4a over last 2 games, but only 9pts all year, clutch player? he was 2nd star of yesterdays game. 220lb RH-physical defensive d-man, may fit in nicely, if footspeed can be good enough for pro play? Havent seen play for long time, he was pretty much a #6 d as a freshman, if I recall.

yup, Bournival has played super in 2 Hamilton games and his speed makes him clearcut better option, both short-long term, over Rene (even if a bit worse defensively right now).

Beaulieu has 21pts & is-12 Pateryn has 27pts & is +6

Reway 2 & 2 +6 McCarron get 1g & Vail assists on 1 g (sh) vs Knights

4-2 final http://theahl.com/stats/game-summary.php?game_id=1012040

Reway 2g 1 a and +4, so far in 3rd period. 2g 2a +5 .....

Bournival with 2nd goal of game on penalty shot and Tarnasky makes it 4-1

Gregoire and Reway 1g 1a so far today Hudon 1g

Would be a good series, not sure is best opponent for Habs but better than Rangers-Philly-Pitt. I would love to see Habs-Bruins/Leafs (or Leafs first and Bruins 2nd round ).
