DON

Lots of positives for sure.

Eller's line got over 1 minute of PP time and HMMMM they get a PP goal.

Emelin 8 hits/4 blocks Weaver 6 blocks Nice to see Beaulieu get a sweet assist in only 6minutes of ice.

'Fun' game

#81 is doing OK

The kids are all right.

Not a bad game eh?

Imagine that (0 for again), but I think Habs are trying to keep pace for PP futility, not sure whose it worse at moment?

Kept hearing that when Murray or Bouillon were dressed and guess what, Hab still won more often than not. Have faith!

What 77 said! I was never a fan of Gretzky, Coffey nor Kurri; but Messier (when with OIlers) yes! Not a fan of Ovechkin, but no doubting he is one skilled player, but irrelevant and you will never see me wearing a Kessel jersey. , Lots of good forwards, like Perry, Datsyuk, Getzlaf , Benn, Duschene, Tavares, Backes, Bergeron, etc that I would prefer to see in a Hab jersey over a Jagr or the like.

Hope they simply blow them out of rink from get-go.

Got a hunch/feeling how Rene will perform, will he be inspired (pissed off enough) to run over opposition and make an impact?

I will never like cream-puff players (got zero to do with Leafs), if aint willing to take a hit to make a play, block a shot when needed, nor backcheck hard, wont get alot of respect from me. Dont care if are as skilled as Ovechkin, Kessel, Cammalleri, simply not "my kind of player" to root for.

(No worry,its In the bag! )

Tinordi playing?

Yes agree dosent count and every bottom six Hab is -, but if Eller is given good linemates, like 11-27, a hot Bourque (and not boat-anchor -9 version of Rene), or simply a Sekac and different story. How long till he and Sekac see PP time?

Team leader in Hamilton, haha good one! Played well in Hamilton, also joking I assume? unless no offense and easily team worst d-man at -17 is 'Well played'? He also gave Dog goalies lots of practice stopping SH breakaways, when his Savardian spinaramas flopped on the PP, again and again. Even, played well in playoffs is a stretch.

No, dreamy would be Cory Perry, Kessel I would curse 99% of time as useless, till he scores a couple. How did Bourque go from 27goals scorer to total klutz with puck? Concussion cant be all of it, can it?

I think it can mean a lot if you are much worse relative to other players/peers on team.

Or missing Chara/Boychuk is finally catching up to em.

But odds are, he is like Gomer and simply washed up at relatively early age.

Dallas top 4 d-men +/- was +9 to +16 Sergei was -12

If injury to bottom six player or two, he would be a safe call up. And maybe AHL lifestyle wont be to his liking, as well being passed over in waivers would suck for him and he plays some inspired hockey?

I thought that would happen last year and dlbalr correctly rained on my prognostication.

More a Shitwolf than turd I think? He looks like a GM's dream player; big fast skating power winger, but really, he is only in it for fame and $$.
