Who would NY want in return? Isnt he their captain?

Trade involving Tinordi or Pateryn coming, that's why!

Irrelevant where picked, McCarron seems destined to be bottom six role player at best and highly unlikely to ever score much at NHL level (or even make NHL some would say). Will see in May if he can play, like his hero Lucic did with Giants in the memorial cup in 06 (minor toughguy role), or 07 where he won MVP.

I liked that Bournival, Beaulieu, Briere all got appropriate icetimes. Moan also solid player, underrated. A guy who's best junior output was a whooping 10 goal season in Kelowna and a 8 goal season in the AHL and will be near 700 NHL games soon, he is a super example for the Crisp, Nevins and McCarron's.

Sorry to be (just a bit) off-topic. SRV (gone way too early) & Son House-type stuff, love it. That's all. Am on the fence with trading Markov, mixed feelings; but, I still think better to cut bait and look to revamp for 2014-15 and beyond.

So you are hinting u would trade him? Would cause one huge shitstorm (Bergevin-Molson would need bodyguards and plexiglass around their seats), but the return would also be huge.

Thomas Vanek, big winger, soon to be UFA. What would Isles demand for him? A lot of teams would be bidding for him, as a rental, I assume and would be a better summer target for Habs eh? On cheap side, a Brad Boyes could be quite a steal at $1m/year.

shutout , was unexpected

The big swedish gorilla is just so smooth on his skates out there.

That is one feisty #51 in this game

howd he miss that

Beaulieu and Murray interesting pair

Curious? Who is Great Rick Estrin, blues/jazz?

Defense core has showed up to play. Gorges 7 blocks Markov 2 pts 4 blocks etc

No? I was just kidding,

I didn't think he defensive play was NHL ready when he was called up from Hamilton. But lately he had been a standout and played very well, but still getting "deaked out his jockstrap" every once in a while, but that may just be the player he is and just need his puck-moving offense to offset his poor defense ( a la Erik Karlsson or a Mike Green)

Fun game for a Hab fan, but that dreaded 3 goal lead going into the 3rd!

You do see his offensive skills and skating eh? And is his 15 games or so in NHL, he hasn't stunk defensively, shakey for sure, but too be expected and even Subban used to be quite vulnerable defensively. We say we want a rookie d-man to be called up and play, then pick at him for not being 100% ready. Why I disagreed.

Emelin has played "horrendous" lately, but just a short-term slump after year off and knee injury, I think.

DD knocked someone down?

Moan and Plekanec are very solid pair on PK

Right on, DD is having a good game so far. its back now

Bourque also with 2 good hits and a shot, maybe he is gonna pull a DD and rebound. Seems Briere will need to earn his icetime, which is refreshing to see. Price had great period Helps when don't take penalties.

Briere & Parros both 2minutes

Prust getting a bit too fancy
