Yes I noticed his reaction when the camera showed bench after Byron's goal and great to see him so excited. Again I ask, can this guy remain so friggin pumped all the way till June? Would be great if he can and in a couple weeks he will be eligible to be extended by Bergevin.

Like he said, next year better chance

Gallagher is a small winger and got lots of those, Hopkins is a centre, but also don't think you can have Hopkins $6m, Plekanec $6m and Galchenyuk $6.5m next year though.

Something like that might be a good deal to get Hopkins. Oil might be looking for a good NHL d-man though and would be Beaulieu instead of Juulsen.

McNivan 3g on 13shots vs CIS all-stars...ugg

I think Weber is struggling a bit, partly because is playing with Emelin. Love his hitting but a puck mover is what Weber is used to playing with, so maybe time to give Beaulieu or Markov (if can limit his PK time) another shot?

0 for 5 on PP was the killer. Darn Carlo killed most of PPs with Chara and 28 minutes for solid looking 20 yr old d-man, he looks like what we had hoped Tinordi would be. 23 minutes for Plekanec, why? And 25 minutes for Radulov is pretty kooky, while Flynn gets <7minutes after 2 goal game, why so little, seems he deserved a bit more that that? But Markov adds another assist and only plays only 20minutes, nice to see Beaulieu is eating up some extra icetime and doing OK to so-so at least.

You mean Muller.

Well, he took quite a headshot yesterday vs Bruins.

Too be scairt to toss a hit, because you are worried opposing team may want retribution sometime and somehow hurt a player on your team later in the season, is no way to play.

The guy who actually got hit, jumped up and seemed to accept the hit. Yes and the refs pulled some penalties out of their asses because of the situation (or were told to on their headphones), not because he actually deserved them...that is my main beef.

I thought fans like seeing Beaulieu duking it out?

Oxymoronic statement. You mean you like and would promote situational 'unwritten' rules and officiating? In last minute of a superbowl, a hold is called exact same as if it was the 1st quarter of a pre-season game. Whereas; NHL owners make it very hard for refs to objectively officiate because of their ever changing demands.

You mean 'awesome' don't you?

Is called a hip-check and not clipping.

Come on, who dosent crap on Desharnais, you know some posters are much more pessimistic than others and they would be even in a 82-0 season..."Just wait till they fold in the playoffs!" Anyways, hope Habs simply destroy Bruins today!

Sergachev 1st goal 1a, 11pts in 16gms. Addison 1g (11) Fucale 2g on 33shots, 3rd period.

Sorry, I don't buy that argument.

I find Danault great at protecting puck along the boards.

Good one. CBC, "if you toss a big hit, you must follow up by fighting with whoever runs at you!" I did laugh when Emelin then bowled over old timer Iginla. Retire already buddy.

Clean hit, Emelin dosent score but he can do something well. Don't care if they had tough dressed or not, neither would Emelin and if it was their tough guy coming down the boards, Emelin would of done same thing to him. I agree given the blowout, was unnecessary and seems unsportsmanlike, but would Pacioretty of passed up on an open net for his 5th goal? Not a chance.

Beaulieu lead team in icetime with 22+, Markov kept to 18+minutes. Ice time spread out well among forwards also. Pacioretty jumps to tied for 20th in scoring. Radulov/Galchenyuk tied for 26th. Quite a game.

But gotta admit, he makes one damn good screen on the PP as well as bottom six centre.

I think Therrien said exactly that.
