Fucale really stunk it up, but love seeing some nice offense, 5 points for McCarron and he continues to produce. Also great to see Hudon backing up his nice rookie year with solid start to season, Thomas again had a sweet shot for his goal and Ellis/Barberio/Holloway all with 3pt games.

Nah, no big issue, things are basically OK for the picks/signings that they have had on roster since Sly took over. Not a fan of coach nor a big critic.

3-1 end of 1st, Leafs with 13 shots but IceCaps had 16 shots.

Dumont breakaway..no goal.

3-1 dosent look good..Pacquale coming in maybe?

Vejdemo 1g 1a vs Lehkonen(5) 1g today (nice to see Vejdemo get on scoresheet with his 2nd SHL goal)

Barberio is -7 in last 5gms in AHL and simply might not have the defense to bump anyone slotted above him (why he has played 318 games as a pro and is still in AHL)?

Agree 100% with Commandant, need more than 1 big weapon up front to get cup...I think?

Love 3 on 3, improvement for sure.

Maybe all the weight he has packed on in last two years maybe has something to do with it? But I wouldn't worry too much about it yet, just a young AHL rookie.

Yes good to see Semin get his much anticipated return over with and hope he rips up the Aves! But I don't anticipate that happenin.

So is still just a nasty rumour that Semin will dress? Nice to see Pateryn draw in, wonder what Mark Tinordi has to say to Bergy about that?

Max had 5/ Gallagher had 3, no other forward had more than 1g in last years playoffs. To go deeper in playoffs may need one more highly skilled forward (and not one named Semin).

Juulsen 7pt in 12gms Bradley 8pt in 14gms Addison 15pt in 19gms Bourque 18pts in 20gms Evans 11pt in 10gms

7 shots for Holloway & 6 for Andrighetto. Nice give and go goal for Holloway to Hudon for that one handed tip in and sweet pass off boards from Fucale (2a in 8gms) to Thomas in OT for winner. Dietz with semi-breakaway on his PP goal and he seems to be producing a bit more this year, he has 3g already and only had 4 all of last year

Yes but Habs never have two 35g scorers on same team since...? Weise & Max on pace for 39g Gallagher & Plekanec on pace for 34g (Will they all continue to score at same rate? I would guess 2 at best will.)

But is that good to not have a top ten scorer? Wouldn't you ultimately want a couple top forwards in scoring race?

Fucale 1st star of game eh, nice to hear. On paper seems like was a good game, a PP goal and an OT win, cool.

Addison 1g 1a today, 9g 15pts in 19gms. Bourque 1a, 18pts in 20gms Evans gets 1g, 3pts in 2 games vs NEastern

Yup after last game's performance Flynn should be sat.

Galchenyuk doing fine without sack of something Semin, Mgmt also saw Semin for several weeks prior to 9 game reg season and maybe just possibly he wasn't "the hardest worker" nor gave 100% during training camp nor pre-season and Bergevin might of said "Whoops" oh well add another Briere-PAP to my resume, give him a couple weeks Mikey and see how he does, in meantime I will grab this speedy gritty lil fellow from the Flames?

Yes cant believe am saying this, but hope Leafs start winning a few more.

Burns seems a solid big skilled all round good player.

Habs 'maybe' offered 2nd rd pick for Tinordi (LeBrun noted); Matt Duchene & Ryan Johansen names were mentioned as rumorable offered/asked for players.

Emelin does have more hits than Subban + Petry combined, or Markov + Subban + Gilbert combined and 100% of hits that actually inflicted a bruise or two. Yes he is scary with puck but Habs are constantly being outhit as is. Which maybe quite meaningless but he does defend OK and team is winning and not giving up many goals with he and Gilbert both playing a fair amount of icetime.
