1 for 7 on the PP...better than 0 for I guess.

Butternuts Healy was just put on this game just out of spite by Leafs! what a maroon and too bad gotta put up with him.

Why would Plekanec even be on the PP eh?

de la rose and carr also have scored 4-2

Sorry if don't agree with Galchenyuk on Galchenyuk, but is lame argument that him playing wing is even an issue, if I am not wrong I think Pacioretty plays wing and is the closest thing to an all-star forward on the team. So why would even fixated on where he plays? A weak argument that he walked in and demanded to play wing with zero input from coachs, but if makes one feel better than admitting centre might not be a good fit for the 20 year old kid at this moment in career, fly at er bud.

Sure..bit creepy but OK.

Not sure..people keep saying Markov cant do this/that or is old-worn out, but he keeps playing smart hockey and he did till end of year last year with his offense being even higher in playoffs than reg season. And Gonchar had no training camp and missed 20 or so games to start season, so he could just be heating up and with N the G as a partner seems to be working fine. So not sure Tinordi has a good chance of call up, barring injuries/trade?

As just posted on other thread, agree he was getting smoked trying to make plays. As much more pressure to playmake as well as defending opposition in the slot and need to backcheck much moreso than on wing.

He has got pasted into boards numerous times since moving to centre, I think trying to do a bit too much. But now he back on wing, he may gain a bit more confidence playing a much easier position with less defensive and offensive pressure?

So unless go 82-0 you aint pleased?

No even close..Kessel is an odd duck it seems; so will take the younger, bigger, faster, stronger, lower maintenance, "captain-material?" Wolverine dude.

Holy moly...Galchenyuk "must play at Centre" proponents must be going nuts to find out the kid actually is more comfortable on the wing! And all their endless complaints were for not and that it wasn't just Mgmt holding him back nor ruining him like they do with prospects often.

As said before, the Nashville GM (name?) was interviewed last year during intermission and asked by Pred. announcer why their PP was shutout in game and failed to do much and he simply said "Plekanec... who is a very underrated player.." And I think is also underrated by most some HabFans also. And certainly not a player to complain about, has been darn good value for past 700+ games.

Gregoire 1.00 points/game McCarron 1.48 Scherbak 1.43 Bozon 1.17 Audette 1.15 Reway 0.90 MacMillan 0.88 Evans 0.52 Lehkonen 0.40 Lernout got his 10th goal and 4 ppg of year, not real keen on his -8 but team not real strong.

Go Dogs Go Ive gotta go to taste test some Scotch. cheers Well well Dumont get 2-1 (hopefully is GWG)

Top corner shot and 1-1 in 3rd (they say not Condon's fault, maybe screened?)

Carr has 5 and Pateryn has 4 shots after 2.

He reminds me of Mike Green, minus any offense.

He is playing fine for Hamilton tonight.

Exactly why lost, 7 wins in a row on the road is rather tough.

Darn that Pacioretty for backchecking hard and pushing numbnuts into lil Carey. What can you do, it happens and like all, hope isn't a bad or lingering injury.

Reway "only" 1a in a 7-1 win, was -1 in 15:48. Lehkonen has 1a in last 21 games, uggg! He had 11:45 today.

19-17-14 10 icetime for 4 centres works for me (likely close to NHL average?).

1 for 1 on the PP!!!!!, 1-0 dogs here in 2nd. Bennett and Dietz get 1a each. Pateryn just rung one off post.

Galchenyuk took a good hit, getting a bit too fancy with head down.
