Sweet, Go lil Brian go!

Smart plays by Briere so far.

Plekanec/Briere has had Weise & Bournival as winger pair, 2 fast wingers.

Tried CBC, but RDS is much more better. Healy

Lord thunderin jesus, bout time!

http://theahl.com/stats/game-summary.php?game_id=1012208 and win 2-1, Andrighetto-Thomas seemed quit active and dangerous. Hope Crisp not hurt badly. He may join Dietz-Vail-Thrower-Bozon-Bennett-Galchenyuk on injured prospect list.

Yes, should of said I don't have a clue, but he seems, to me, to have pretty good smarts? He has been deaked out badly several times, but overall I doubt will be regretting signing him to $4m/yr for next few years.

2nd goal changed and Sorkin gets his first pro goal.

Beaupre tries to rough up St. Pierre, Tarnasty steps in and wins a quick one. Crisp went in awkward to boards (right arm) on hit early in 1st period, arm/shoulder injury likely, no word on injury yet. Dumont drops em with Oliver and gets DWs' vote in bout, so Dogs are 4-0 in fisticuffs (I suppose is better than getting beat up). Now JT Wyman and Chouinard have wrestle fight, spirited affair. Well, Tokarski will get final start of season on Sat, Lefebvre must of been resting him for final game.

Monster PP goal and 1-1. Andrighetto (18th) scores on nice wristshot, 2-1 dogs, couple minutes into 3rd. Pickard robs Andrighetto of his 19th on next play.

Beaulieu again, gives up a SH breakaway on risky play. Joonas goes end to end and scores a sweet one (8th). Back to back games with a goal. Dogs up 1-0 midway 2nd.

Abbotsford Heat folding after playoffs and Flame farm team rumoured to move to NY for next fall. Nevins and Maggio go for 2nd time and Nevins again gets better of him.

No fancy stuff like dlbalr does. Not quite 'Battle of Titans', 10th meeting of year Mayer gets the start? Ellis healthy scratch again. Scoreless after 1st. Nevins drops Maggio in his first pro fight. Dogs outplayed Monsters in 1st.

I would 2nd that (no disrespect to dlbalr of course).

Pushing people's buttons is all fine and dandy, I know I am mostly just thick-headed and 100% agree that is just a game and shouldnt take stuff too serious. Go Habs Go.

Above a Rene Bourque and below a Markov, I would agree with.

Genius, never have gone quite that far, just not a moron and got few complaints. Its all good and do think they will squeak by Tampa in 6 or 7 and just hope is a good, fast, hard-hitting series. Drop the friggin puck already! Hockey shouldnt be played in f-in June, I even got my wedge-game in shape by then and is prime salmon season by then!

And he has been hitting everything that moved lately, no he will never be a big puck rusher/passer, but never has been. And I just haven't noticed clueless play from him But, is all good if he lays the body on Tampa young rookies and pisses them off, as he does to the Bruins (and other teams) and is just too bad Cokehead-Malone is out, because Emelin used to hit him until he freaks out and takes dumb penalties.

I thought he seems better lately and is a +8 since mid-March, so not horrible play, as he was in Dec-Jan when first came back.

Therrien took crappy Pens team from out of playoffs, into playoffs 1st round loss, then loss in finals, then coached for 3/4 of that cup winning season and best team in NHL hasn't had a sniff of a cup finals since then? hmmmmm... Bylsma maybe not the upgrade you think he is?

Could be correct, I just don't have as negative a view on team. Regular season success is based on 1 and only 1 stat, Points. You spoke of 2 losses and last ten of 7-2-1 is self explanatory (I know would be nice to win 10-0 heading into playoff but do you think realistic?). Especially given that they coasted through the last 3 scrimmages. You want to win more pretty games or something? Well, Habs don't have that kind of dominant roster, add another all-star forward and a bit more offence from bottom 9 and this team would be sitting where Bruins are. But, with Bourque, Eller, Galchenyuk, Briere, Gionta, Prust all having off-years, is quite something that the team did as well as did. So maybe Kudos to Therrien for juggling team as well as he has. Just how I see it, I know am in minority (and at far end of spectrum from habs rule on coaches), but I really have few worries about this team, cept hope they can minimize the damage done by Tampa's top 6 forwards and Salo-Hedman shots from point. I think Moan being out will hurt PK and defending a lead late in games.

Could be, I say a rookie coach has f-all track record and couldnt say he is good/bad yet. I might agree with you in a couple years (if still in NHL). What is Therrien excellant at? His team kicked ass last 2 years.

Where will de la Rose likely play in the fall? Windsor or Hamilton? With his size, he likely could handle AHL couldn't he? Although a year in CHL is likely smarter route?

Ya Ya, heard same about last Tampa coach, Guy named Bouche, super duper coach.

Zero chance. What kind of adaptation does a 100point team try? For what realistic reason? Because finishing season 7-2-1 is crappy or something? Right path might be what exactly?
