Nice conservative move and can never have enough NHL calibre d-men going into playoffs.

8 hits for Murray plus running over a teammate or two, he was into the game for sure. Nice to see Yemelin play 21+minutes and also be physical and not very often he outshoots Pacioretty-Gallagher-Plekanec-Gionta in a game. Nice to see his play improving. Even the centres smoked KIngs in faceoffs, but L.A. has the Sutter shut-down trap down to a science, kind of like Canada vs USA-Sweden and just smothered them. And Weise again with 4 hits in 10minutes of ice, so doing his part. Habs played better than I thought they would (given time change/travel) and Kings played as expected. Budaj made some nice saves.

OK, how bout, tired, lame, dead horse reference (no disrespect CC).

Yes agree and he will be a fan favourite for sure.

Better? You are kidding arnt you? If you want to idolize boring trap hockey, this is the New Jersey-Lamaire team of the West and only thing they are better at is playing a shut down J Martin system! That is what we need to be and see on a consistent basis, uggg no thanks. And in a 7 games series they wouldn't scare me to see Habs matched up against (but would be a fugly boring series, that is for sure).

Habs threw lots of hits, was a typical King shut down game.

Yes, he held his own.

Yes he took on lots of tough matches in Probert, Shanahan etc.

Subban should get it.

Bit weak goal.

Montreal is a higher scoring team than opposition! Cant say that often.

Sounds good, never really noticed him before, other than I think he was a stinkin Leaf before.

So Boullion will be playoff cheerleader, or be gone by Wed evening?

Sure, am fine to see backups for another game or two and as long as not a lingering or major injury for Price, its all good.

I wonder if Boullion would be OK with playing some games in Hamilton?

Budaj must be pumped and maybe see Tokarski play Wed or thurs?

Why him? I know little about him. RWer? (I want V. Nichushkin, what would that cost I wonder??)

Wrong again, I am saying play those guys over 55, not trade em. 55 is playoff depth unless he is shipped out within 2 days.

His play is underrated, but if he dosent resign wont break my heart, but I bet he & Markov will both be back and that is fine also.

Tinordi is prime Bergevin 'culture change' material and is even vocal on bench as a call up (sorry, Leafs just went down 2-0 to CBJ SWEET!) But you see bigger NHL forwards still outmuscle him, which will happen less and less over time and another summer or 2 in weight room. I say slim or lower chance he goes anywhere.

I agree about #55 in his last year , in better options I mean in Murray-Beaulieu-Pateryn-Tinordi.

I wouldnt bet your paycheque on that. He may take pay cut and stick with team?

Dont like crapping on Frankie, as i always liked his effort and grit, but Habs have better options.

Will be nice week, having 4 evening Hab games for a change (not good for Maritimers; but, is what PVRs are made for ). Hope not a defensive borefest to start week.

I think AVM was asked to be captain before an don't think it is his bag and he aint real fond of dumb media questions at all! I got feeling 21 will be a Hab next year and if not, Josh it is.
