DON

Tampa announcers were (understandably) a bit pissed and ref simply waved off goal as if it simply didn't cross the line and instead of admitting such, pulled the interference card out of his... But they won as they should of, so is all good.

I think it is also a fan safety measure after one was killed i think wasnt that (partly) the origin? Penalty is fine by me, I havent heard any players complaining that is an issue to be addressed? And (almost) anything that promotes more offense is a good thing dont you think? And the Habs survived a 5 on 3 in OT which was quite something.

I really liked the game, was fun and entertaining and was easily worth it just to watch Price, he seemed very motivated and jumps on loose pucks like never before and makes hard saves look easy, etc etc. PK Subban had a super game, ton of rubber fired at net and when he was on the ice Habs were easily the better team and vice versa. Not sure why don't see any positive comments on his 28minutes of solid play? Gorges-Murray blocked 9 shots and did their job. The kids looked good, would of liked to see more of Bournival. And maybe just maybe will be a bounce that gets Briere going and not a chance DD would of been in the crease at that time to deflect in.

Really like that rule (refs cant screw that one up much and should be cut and dry call), don't care if intentional or not, not sure why so many say it not fair? Doubt would hear one complaint if Tampa air mailed the glass with puck. Markov was pressured and desperate to clear puck and screwed up.

Would Kulikov or Shawn Matthias be a plus to add from Florida? I don't know much about them. Aint happening but; Yakupov would command what from Habs? Maybe Beaulieu and Pateryn? or Beaulieu and a 1st and 2nd pick?

Well Bozon finally had a good game and was 2nd star, maybe he is getting used to new team?

playing disciplined anyways well they were

When an "expert" like McGuire declares him (or Nate) rookie of year, 10 games into season. But, I would agree Jones is a super looking rookie and he or MacKinnon are good picks to win award. But me or a monkey would pick LeBron James-Kevin Durant to win MVP award and likely be correct, so McGuire still seems a questionable "expert" and very annoying to listen to (thank god TSN got rid of him).

Like I said, not real complaint just my take on it, just can do without it and just find goofy. And the whole glove tapping thing with bench thing after every goal, is also very lame. Just my opinion, I can do without most showboating, if makes it more entertaining for you and many fans, then super, that is main thing the players are paid for, so don't mind me and my very conservative take on it.

I wouldnt say i would complain, but not fond of most goofy celebrations in general. If a meaningful goal, sure. But i would much prefer a more mature/professional, Plekanec, Datzyuk, Zetterberg, Sakic, Gionta, Bourque, Markov type, low-key is perfect by me on 99% of goals. But i am glad "low-five" thing is gone, seemed sort of unprofessional, or more like NFL-Soccer over the top crap.

Tampa has same $7.5 tied up in one player who wont score for next couple months.

Bournival and Pirri (Hawks) are making the most of rookies with least amount of icetime (similar to AG and BG last year). Still a long season left, who knows if Bournival can keep up pace and challenge for Calder? I know Pierre McGuire has already guaranteed Jones-MacKinnon are a lock to win it, but will see how it plays out.

Ekblad and Nurse may be a good pairing. And Oil will also have some big forwards in, Sam Reinhart (seems destined for Buf/Fla) , Nick Richie, Michael Dal Colle or Leon Draisaitl to pick from next spring. So if Oil end up behind Buff-Fla-Calgary and Philly, they will still have a great looking, good sized kid as an option. And just because AG has blown away Yaakupov over 15-20 games, dosent mean he will be better down the road, but as someone said he is developing very nicely. And the kid is on a 64 point pace, which is better than expected or maybe as good as most could of hoped for, for sure?

Seems likely that Emelin replaces Murray, but even though he is playing more, I might sit Boullion and his -8 instead, or play it safe and have 7 d-men..

Elias-Gionta-Gomez was "EGG" line years ago. But, who cares, it still works. I would guess, DD will not be missed tomorrow (How are whales and DD alike; both get confused when surrounded by ice).

I know lots of Canucks fans and don't agree with fan bit, or know what is diff between them or Flame-Oil-Jet-Sen fan? Leaf and Hab fans are different, but not necessarily "better". In fact it seems that bit of arrogance, is what pisss off other West team fans most.

nice play

Reway 8 points in 2 games, not too shabby weekend.

not a bad save

nice shot for the kid

What is your take on Andrighetto? Is he a smallish, good skating, skilled winger?

Who does Yemelin replace in lineup this week? Murray or Boullion?

I wouldn't, Moan has looked "quicker" or something this year and much more wiling to simply drop the gloves, but not that I dont appreciate White's effort when he is on the ice. I might compare White to Darcy Tucker when he was a Hab.

Entertaining game anyways.

What is Frankie thinking passin to #6
