But in those shows you do see AG "fooling around" with Prust, Gally etc But Bournival seems very quiet and serious, which is neither better nor worse, just he always seems very stoic in the background...that's is all, not important just a trivial observation.
-
I hate to even suggest trading Eller, but to get quality impact player already signed for several more years at OK salary, would never be cheap nor painless; Some say is better to deal when team isn't in desparate need of a trade. With Plekanec and DD as top 2 centres anyways, would sill have Galchenyuk, Bournival as 3rd centre option and upgrade on backend (and as winger in crease or on the point on the PP) might be enough to improve team overall? But the production of Subban, Markov and Byfuglien combined is tantalizing.
-
Nice to see Tinordi physical game back, tossing some good hits and dropping the gloves to stand up for teammates. Now just need Beaulieu wake up and Andrighetto to come back. Leblanc must be dropping below Thomas, Holland and maybe Dumont and Andrighetto as well, on depth chart?
-
Byfuglien would be quite a player to add and $5.2/year seems a good salary (that Eklund mentioned Habs may be a suiter for the big fellow, fantasy BS or not?) but he can be an impact player for sure. Just not sure what Jets would demand in a deal for him? Diaz, Bourque, Beaulieu, 1st pick, etc ? Or maybe Eller for him? A d-core of 79-76, 74-Buff, 26-6-Tinordi would look good to Price I think and may be hard to beat in playoffs.

Gallagher is like a dog on a bone in the corner/around the net. Pacioretty did what a lot should do on breakaways and look for rebound and start whacking, instead of doing the fly-by and backhards are like knucklepucks to goalies, just shoot it. Was a bad penalty for Galchenyuk to take and I was OK with a 3rd period benching. Parros should of had dumb penalty and played 3 minutes too much. Didn't watch his little wrestle match with Orr, too boring and lame watching skillless goons dance. Now if Gallagher and Kessel, or Bourque-Phaneuf, had of dropped em, that would be entertaining and more better. Subban could simply be quite a unstoppable player in a couple years and aint doing too badly right now, he and Markov are battling for the #1 d-man slot, but who really cares which is 1A or 1B, they are one solid pairing 3 hits and 5 blocks and some boring solid d play from the big-swede. -
Another good game for Thomas. Holland 1st star in first game back, hope the swiss kid comes back and adds to the offense.

5 shots for Bourque -
And Holland's goal "should" seal a victory, with only 10 minutes left.

Sounded like Tinordi stood up for Dumont and pummelled some guy. Good to see Nattenin score and play well.

Habs are favoured in Vegas, but I still think is 50-50 game, as always between these two teams. -

Baby brother Sergei must of been adopted. -
Too bad, I always liked his play and he has had a good career for a 7th round Hab pick. I imagine TVA or RDS would find a spot for him.

And still AK46 was twice the hockey player, maybe Fats needed more radioactivity and less ice-cream? -

Parros in for Bournival eh, not exactly an upgrade and seems more of an bush-league embarrassment than anything else. Hopefully Orr and Paros knock each other out and are gone from game on first shift. -
Who is more reserved Emelin or Bournival? In those 24ch shows, both seem like very quiet dudes win or lose; or total opposite of Gorges/White/Subban
-
And the team would win more with him in top 6? Or his development is being stunted, could be? I am all for him to play 12-13m/game, but at the moment team is doing quite well and once Emelin shakes off the rust and gets up to speed, should do even better. So I really have few complaints and don't see Bournival's present icetime as a big issue at all.

Bournival is getting almost same icetime Galchenyuk got last year and what Gallagher got for most of last year. And someone mentioned Bournival was a -2 because he had to play against their 2nd line and I am not sure what was the point? And why would you watch CBC crap if you don't like it? I simply don't watch any early games or pregame on CBC (butternuts Don Cherry stays awake and shows up on a Western 2nd game telecast once in a while, which is very annoying, but infrequent thank Harper) -
Bournival is basically getting same icetime that Galchenyuk did last year, what is the issue?

In those couple shifts he and White managed to be -2. -
So, say Habs likely pick in the 16th-to 24th range, Perlini, Lyamkin or Jacobs might at this stage be most likely Hab pick. And all three of those seem like would be a nice addition.

thanks

His -9 was worrisome anyways. A Swedish version of a MAB, rocket of a shot-good PP specialist, but weak in own end.

Which Mayer will show up today? What kind of player is Owens?
-
Lots of fights on youtube, maybe he and Crisp will be 2 truculent additions for Hamilton this spring?
