DON

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.

LIke to see Byfuglien-Kesler or Eberle added. But expect maybe adding a Malhotra or fringe NHL/AHLer will be Habs only dealings, which also is fine by me and wait till summer to make any significant dealing/upgrade.

A witty fellow once said, "The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." W.C.

I assume u r trying to make some weak Subban reference.

I heard the high school kids, who are all-in on advanced stats, bickering about who claimed the Habs suck earliest in the year. And they still beat the Murray is worst d-man statistically, but not quite as loud as before and must be so hard to see your graphs/stats mean diddly squat, not pan out and Habs continue to do well despite terrible coaching/GMing! I would imagine they would like to see Drewiski playing in Murray's spot, but we all know the odds of that happening.

Sorry to toss Boullion in, how bout standard bag of pucks and I may be way off-base, but are certain players I got no use for, Heatly-Jagr-Cammalleri are 3 of em. Don't care if wrong and don't disagree I am wrong, but why do I also tend to bet on underdogs? Not smart but what can I say.

I assume Dewiski cleared waivers and will play in Dogs weekend games?

Yes, he went missing and was wondering what had happened, just too bad.

No, don't need or will be hiring a coach in near future.

Canucks lose again and another Sedin got hurt, almost pack it in time for this year for Gillis? Sell Sell Sell!

63-35-12 and currently 7-1-2 for past 10 coaching staffs are pretty darn secure in their jobs and must be doing some things quite well.

Did Skillsy even retire yet?

Fucale has 1 more year in junior after this one; so he will not be challenging for starter role for a long while yet.

Mr Murray the philosopher; in yelling a warning to Tampa (on that 24CH) 'I'm gonna rip your head off..." and then I think he translated into Swedish for Victor Hedman.

No, I wouldn't touch Jagr with 10 foot pole. Maybe he would be fine pick-up, but I just hope he isn't in a Hab jersey on Thursday.

OK thanks, figured wasn't quiet so easy.

Because having 2 rookies in top 6 on d is not the best recipe for winning, unless are Trouba-Jones-Brodin like. I would also disagree on shipping Murray out and would rather see extended. Maybe Drewiski move will allow Beaulieu to be re-called and both Tinordi and he will be on roster for road trip?

Yes it may be good for he and Hamilton, but I am sure he would like to fly rather than bus, but he would get to play at least and he is supposed to be a hard worker and character guy.

Malhotra for a 6th?

With his playoff record, you know some GM will bite.

Markov with big 3point game yesterday, now has 10pts in last 10 games, I wonder if he had a minor injury in dec-jan that threw off his game for awhile?

No thanks, if the Devils are giving him away for nothing, then OK, but I wouldn't trade Boullion for him.

Habs are 12-9-1 vs Western teams, which would equate to a 93.2 point season just vs West. So sure, many eastern teams not the strongest, but Habs simply arnt doing bad at all (other than overall offense). Really looking forward to some good games this week, Kings one may be low scoring or tight, but solid team and good 'test'. I guess 4 of 8 points on trip would be as much as should be expected?

It is the lucky 'Mad Ned Flanders' mask of Budaj.

Blame for what?
