as long as prospect's name is Nathan M., then maybe worth discussing.

afternoon games can suck, same as Bruin/OIl game 0-0 after 1st also

Gotta love Bourque little fly by and shake his stick at d-man with the puck, no extra effort needed, just keep gliding straight and run into him.

understandable

Hey, was expecting a harsher response sir, as us maritimers are almost born to be a die-hard Hab-Bruin or Leaf fan and totally despise 2 of the 3. But, I got enough dislike for Leafs organization, that simply only want to Habs to smoke Bruins every match-up, but that is about it.

Would Andrew Macdonald be a good cheap rental pick up from the Isles? Seems lots of assists and blocks for $550,000 and he is playing 25+minutes/game.

I know we are supposed to hate all Bruins and esp with Pacioretty incident Chara; but, I don't. I still remember watching him in 96 playing in WHL and was just such a freak and they said he had only even played hockey for a couple years and of course with his size, all the goons had to give him a try and he wasn't good fighter but he learned quickly. If you watch him, he basically ignores most after whistle crap and skates away (but who wants a broken orbital bone and not many, cept maybe Chris Neil can get him to fight, Phaneuf-Komisarik he challenges but they don't have the balls Neill has), Chara pulls his punchs with hits on smaller players and dosent try, as Kromwall-Phaneuf do and try and blindside anyone to make a big hit. And if Bruins sucked, what challenge would it be to beat them? So sorry, got to say I respect his play and am a fan (same as Bergeron & Lucic). Not that I don't want Yemelin to knock each and every Bruin into next week or Murray to steamroll em, but besides the point.

Fat lady already signing, Knight scored again, 3-0 after 2. LL with 3 shots and Holland seems to be playing well, just no finish. I guess 13 shots in 2nd was a positive also, but.....

Is too bad the Bruins have depth at d and when Chara finally packs it in, their d-core should still be pretty good.

Granlund scores on PP, 1-0 heat in 2nd 1:20 later and #2 & #5 turn puck over and Knight scores.

28th PP vs 28th PK of Heat 0 for last 25PPs

Must sign by August or ? (not sure how that works), he is free and clear?

Saw bit of Michigan game. Bennett looked good with 1 assist and few good rushes. commentators noted Bennett has been more involved offensively lately. ol Red Berenson (Hab in the early 60s) is in his 30th year coaching Wolverines'. Bit different than the pro-rank job security. Wonder who Bennett gets paired up with in Hamilton soon, #2. Will Bennett be in Hamilton this spring, or likely finish schooling (musicology is a unusual major)? Collberg with 1g 1 a, super to see sign of life. McCarron vs Crisp tonight, 1a on the PP for Crisp in 2nd period.

I am quite ignorant of towns in southern Ont, Barrie and London are close or big rivals?, or u just a born/bred Barrie boy?

Interesting to see LL on 1st line and St.Pierre has been producing very little for awhile now eh.

Even if he ends up flippin burgers at McDonalds, he will be big. I know what u mean and am looking forward to see how he does in OHL playoffs and Memorial cup, maybe he will be a physical force, like his hero was? I imagine dlbalr will give an update on how the big fellow looks.

To be a goof, Souray was let walk as a UFA in Summer and signed by Oilers! Same as Koivu-Kovalev, for nothing.

maybe he will shine and play a great game for you to see.

Not sure, but I know Martin would never sit/scratch a vet player, no matter how bad he was playing (Gomer, Spacek & the Squid)

Well, Louis didn't seem to get a fair shake in call up; but will see how much icetime Thomas will get and how long he can stick with big club. I imagine he will slot in to lineup vs Tampa and/or Winnipeg.

Well, LL must be a bit worried now about future with franchise eh? I didn't think he looked bad at all in call up, in the very little icetime he got, but I guess was enough for Mgmt to want someone else called up instead. Interesting that 'supposedly' Aves were asking about Andrighetto? But Roy would know his play and maybe likes him?

I kinda thought early Dec. his value was highest, but just 3 months into season and team riding big winning streak, Bergevin wasn't (and maybe still isn't) looking to make any significant in-season trades?

Chara is Old timer softball age and 35 is a cut off age for a reason, especially as a pro athlete. I know some still play fine till they are 40, but low % and why I wouldn't go more than any 2 year deal for Markov.

5th straight win by Habs over the Bruins, I like it.

Don't know why, dosent matter where anyone is in the standings but, when Habs play the Leafs, it is always a total flip of coin - 50-50 chance who will win. But, Habs vs the Bruins, for whatever reason it seems, just to me, a 60-40 chance Habs win.
