What would that mean?

Coachs decisions have been OK and if he wants Parros to suit up and play 5minutes that is fine, he has last change.

Pateryn had a fight? And Ellis had 2 points, good game.

Blunden the sniper!

Of course.

.905 last year and .913 the year before that and same this year? Not bad sir, eh?

Since he started with Habs he has been good hasn't he?

Budaj the king. That 2nd save could be a game saver.

Like Briere is starting to show and Gionta just did, vet experience and hockey IQ are underrated.

Nice to see some offense and I assume Torkarski is playing well?

Just super to see #99 ovation from fans

Murray seems to stay away from penalties by simply being too strong and shoving opponents to the ground. You can crap on his skills, but he is one of best crease clearers and simply is no post whistle crap with him there.

At similar #NHL games Darcy Tucker and White quite similar stats at start of career with Habs, so who knows if WHite may do well if given a regular shift?

Small crowd I assume?

#74 already has played over 14 minutes, great to see, but too much too soon?

Hope he is like Cole and just had a bad start with Habs and will do fine?

iffy call

Could be? but got zero complaints for last game & 1/2 Markov seems to have Ovi's #

#76 tried to get too cute and turnover.

Murray again seems solid and playing within his limitations. Still makes me very nervous when anyone passes him the puck.

Nice to see Murray draw in. I do question his partners IQ when they pass him the puck though (when they themselves are not in desparation), it is the same as passing to Hal Gill and should not be done, unless dire circumstances. Yemelin got the Savardian spinarama down and seems to be much better with puck at the point than Gorges or Boullion. But like someone said, let PK stay for full 2 minutes with Markov then Diaz, until Yemelin is up to speed.

Last year Jake Virtanen was a very impressive and feisty 16 year old, not sure he is top ten guy, but I think would look darn good in a Habs jersey. Haydn Fleury has size and seems to be developing very well, just not so super in own end (in little bit I have seen of him) That Kasperi Kapanen is one you haven't much on yet?

Bozon and Thrower were both 3rd stars in their games yesterday. Bozon with GWG and 6 points in last 4 games, seems to have woken up. Thrower now 12th in WHL d-scoring with 21points in 20games and leading his weak team with +5. Both Hudon and Gregoire played fine yesterday. Gregoire was just about youngest kid in 2013 draft, just turned 18 in Sept and in 2 years he could be a darn solid prospect as the 176th pick (maybe the extra Q-scouting paid off). Reway at 116th, also seems to be a sweet Timmins et al draft choice as well and looking forward to see him play in Sweden in a few weeks.

Aint happening and i wouldnt lose any sleep over any "hypothetical" trade banter. But if Lindros didnt play with LeClair, he likely wouldnt of done much and wouldnt seem such an err. But, i still would trade anyone if it made sense.

Still disagree and hypothetical deal still has merit. I wasn't too worried about Pacioretty and is only couple games since his return, so irrelevant to me what media say on that. Got no issue with salary of either player, both fair deals for teams. Hockey is a business and doubt any grudge would be held against Kane nor Bergevin. Sure, deal could be a flop for a team, but risk you take making most trades and Dudley and Bergevin are supposed to be good evaluators of pro talent. Chara deal, was "sorry we cant afford you and are signing Redden instead", not Chara saying I don't like Sens (just my vague memory of deal). Heatly is a player I got no use for and the way Hossa has bounced from team to team like a mercenary, maybe he wasn't gonna resign in Ottawa anyways?
