Byron, Cournoyer-lite?

OK good is over, 4-3 Albany now fat lady is warming up for sure.

Hudon-Scherbak-Audette getting worked and pinned in own end.

4minutes left in 3rd and hanging on 3-2. ...oppps now is 3-3 tie.

PBP guy was complimenting Matteau's play.

Hey they killed a PP, had shot off crossbar, but no goal...baby steps.

Denis makes big save to keep lead and leaves opponent shaking his head (a la Price)

Ahhh, about that...he is back. So, just got to hope he does well and helps team win.

Got a PP to start the 3rd at least, but have given up 2 PPGs on 2 PKs what has happened to their PK?

I heard it was lead pipe to knee by some mugger. Boone stat; Habs are 5-0 streak vs wings at home.

Give up a PPG goal less than 1 minute left 2nd. 3-2

Scherbak & Barberio both with 1g 1a 5 shots

Any word on Lehkonen, or that Reway kid?

He hoped him being 2nd year as a pro, dropping a few lbs and working on his skating, that he would be an impact player in the AHL at least.

Matteau seems champion of meaningless goals.

Like a soild AHLer, 1g 7pts in 11gms (disappointing start to season for sure)

Bourque gets his 5th (21pts/21gms), Mete gets his 7th (17pts/17gms) Juulsen gets pp assist in 1st period, 13pts/14gm Assist at start of 2nd for Juulsen

3-1 loss, Lindgren was only player who showed up to play it sounds like. http://theahl.com/game-summary?game_id=1016062 Didier also had good game they noted.

8minutes in and down 1-0

I guess if got to think negative, id sit Beaulieu, who was the worst d-man on that pairing and let Hanley play his natural side vs Wings. He drew a penalty, had no major gaffs, kept it fairly simple and seems a fairly quick skater. Price had Kings shaken their heads all game and just another super performance (9-0-0 1.56 .953%) . Nice to see Danault & Carr score, play well and Andrighetto had couple scoring chances at least. 38 points from the d-men is pretty good production.

But, he is starting to rack up such an awesome record over a longer and longer stretch, just hope he has a team capable to score come playoff time. If they can just get 1 or 2 goals/game they could go deep with a healthy Price.

Can Radulov keep up the effort for 82+ games, maybe same or > than Gallagher. (now I hear TSN690 guys come up same comparison) Radulov's grit and tenacity has been a very pleasant surprise.

Who knows what will happen and maybe Trump will toss a nice big wrench into the 2 party system, before being voted out for some dalliance. Which might be good in long run for our southern cousins? But he still seems a pretty despicable person. Oh well, great to see Habs taking the game to L.A. , bout time for another highlight Galchenyuk goal.

Habs leading 13-7 in shots, much better.

Boone stat: Habs have given up 7 PPGs in last 12 PKs. UGGGG.
