Habs sit in 28th place now, seems like Arizona and Sabres are just horrible enough to have 30th-31st place locked up, but Habs likely will duke it out with Ottawa & Vancouver for 29th.

See Commandant's post below, is what I meant.

The Swiss coach on his team chances vs Canada was just too funny and sad that he is their coach. https://www.tsn.ca/swiss-coach-expecting-domination-by-team-canada-1.955925

You do know the posts will be same and really will not matter what does/doesn't happen.

Sergachev 0:01/game short handed. Least icetime/game of all their 6 d-men. Hedman-Sergachev basically play all the PPs, which also is the #1 PP in league at 25.9% Even MAB would do well offensively if he returned to Tampa.

Seems some wanted to trade Gallagher when his value was lowest, maybe do the opposite now for a young centre (make some package centred on Gallagher).

Never heard much about Hoffman? From stats looks lopsided for Sens.

More importantly, did McCarron win his fight?

Danault is back, all is OK

I want Lars Eller back!

Yes, combined they stunk.

Ya, Ikonen credited with goal in 13:59.

Jerabek had several screw ups in that period. That pairing scary! But 26 shots was good action wise.

That loss was just too predictable. I think Ikonen gets a goal today (off faceoff)

Safe bet 'Super Troopers' is much more entertaining than this game will be. But, still would love to see Gallagher get a bunch of goals and keep building on his career year.

Are there any team stats that the Habs arnt in the bottom third of league in (other than attendance and $/seat of course)?

Would you know how many assistant GMs in NHL could be a fit (speak French)? I think you mentioned Jets AGM is one eh?

So once Habs are out of playoff hunt (which is basically now), will Molson fire him with so much term left at end of season, simply let him steer team through trading deadline off-loading Plekanec and whomever else is in demand, then make bigger player deal(s) in off-season with new GM? Assume Brisbois or McGuire are most obvious to be offered interview, if Molson fires Bergevin.

Game #39 Pre-game trivia notes by Rusche http://intentionaloffside.com/?p=45541 27th place Habs vs tied 24th place Cats. With a win and some help, Habs could jump to 24th. Still would be close to bottom of standings; but it is something to pull for I guess (or against depending on current POV) Not that shuffling bottom of roster will help; but Lernout and Deslauriers sit and Schlemko and Froese are in. Go Habs Go

Thanks Walker...Texas Ranger, I needed that!

Where is good place to buy a NHL jersey...looking for a #34, in blue and white?
