Sorry, got to chime in; Price has been most important/best (however you put it), he play 60minutes and has been rocksolid in 90%+ of games, Pacioretty plays <20minutes/game and can afford to err and skip on the backcheckin every once in a while, without costing a certain goal, because of 31.

Thanks, I get it now. I would not be scared to see Habs play Tampa, even with Stamkos back, would be sweet to see Habs sneek into 2nd round (I like putting cart before horse).

They will have that unbiased Leaf announcer doing the game wont they? Wonder how he will pronounce Andrighetto, should at least be humerous? He is just such a professional.

He has taken off with puck one in a while lately, maybe his confidence is growing or just getting very anxious to get the call-up from HQ?

How do teams get seated for playoffs Wildcards play the 2 division leaders I assume and the other 4 line up as per point ranking (TB vs Philly & Habs vs Rangers at present?)

Crisp #1star, 3 pt game Fucale with shutout. Bozon 2a

Nice to hear they won one, now maybe start a good streak of games. Mayer shut them out for 2nd half of game.

Right on, looks like should be some good games. Not many boring Habs vs Leafs or Bruins games.

Give up another PP goal and down 4-3 near end of 2nd.

Just for practice! Hope Max not injured badly. Just how well will Price do with, Subban & Keith or any of other Canadian d-pairings, in front of him?

Maceneaur(sp?)ties it up at 3-3, in 2nd period

Dumont from Holland and 3-2

Briere is doing well

nice play by 11-51, sweet!

They changed goalies, but not Mayer. He did have 14 shots, so not like team defending well.

Kinda looked like his ribs hit post, but must been a bit lower.

White is On-Fire!

3-1 Blunden gets one. May make a bit more interesting.

Dogs down 1-0 2:00 into game. 2-0 shortly thereafter 12minutes in and now 3-0

Sure, but I think in a year or two with more experience, a bit bigger/faster/stronger and Galchenyuk will be a super player. He is just turning 20 in a few days, so still way ahead of most prospects.

Sure, just is so much speculation as to exactly how Bergevin-Gillis worked it out and what the 28 other GMs may have already offered for Diaz or Weise?

they forgot to tell everyone cept Briere. If you missed 1st period, you r lucky.

Pateryn has been asked to 'finish checks' and up his physical game, he is making odd big hit lately, as well as big shot from point. Odds are that injury call up (trade?) will likely give he or Tinordi a chance in March-April. Briere with 3 shots already.

Agree that Gallagher is a big + with anyone (or even by himself he would do his thing and bump/run/slewfoot/X-check/fight and accidentally on-purpose fall on top of every opposing goalie and get Phil Esposito-Tim Kerr-type goals). I don't think Galchenyuk defensive game is centre calibre yet, maybe after 1 more summer of training and next fall his 2-way game hopefully will be good enough to centre at this level?

So best guess, Fournier out and Nattinen loses centre spot but bumped to 3rd line.
