DON

Didn't mean to rain on someones' pronouncement that we are non-contender. But, simply is not just 1 recipe for success and that so far this season the Habs, once again are looking like a low scoring team.

Maybe de la Rose will get his 1st today?

Yes need to be like LA Kings who were 26th in NHL last season...not a chance to be a contender they were.

Habs are 24th in scoring! Picked up right where left off last season, solidly in 21st. Maybe playing Galchenyuk at centre will make a difference?

Hope you are correct bout #27 at centre and couldn't of made offense any worse. Maybe he wont get worked on faceoffs, with flashes of superior skill and his production, it does seem worth a shot for sure and if #67 was on his wing wouldn't break my heart neither.

Yup lil Finn is doing very well, but too smurfish for most HabFans to get excited about. And Audette did seem small/soft in Sept (in little i saw) and was late pick for a reason (but another 2A yesterday). I still have reservations how McCarron will do with limited minutes as well as playing vs men when he hits pros in late spring or next fall. But do hope the big fellow can continue and maybe even peak interest from Team USA? but I think they don't flip on players cut from summer camp often do they?

(actually Plekanec had his most points in 2009-10)

? (I was a Kostitsyn fan and he was the clumsiest NHLer of all time and would fall down all too often by his own doing)

He did when he had a guy like Kovalev on his wing and Galchenyuk is not suffering a poor start is he.

Audette 28pts in 16games (into 3rd period today), but no one is jumping on his bandwagon like they are for Big Mac? (I also must of missed Audette's retweet of him being named 'A' )

That Goudreau simply deaked jockstrap off d-man last night and that kid is gonna score a lot with his smarts/skill/speed. Early Calder choice for sure.

Sorry am technically unfit to do a proper GDT, but must be some other savvy person who could. That Cam Cole gazette post was quite humorous and worth a chuckle 're Burrow-Emelin' incident.

Who won the game, so why would Miller complain or make any issue about reffin, what good would that do him? If Canucks had of lost, would be a few in Vancouver who would point to that goal as a rip off, guaranteed.

Not meant a ream nor see how took as that? But no matter. Just is history and I don't think was egregious attempt to injure. If maybe Canucks get break on that goal, Habs did as well with Gallagher on top of Miller, which while not a penalty on Gallagher, MIller had zero chance to stop puck so should of been blown down and if was a goal like that on Price was allowed to stand, you know Habfans would still be upset. Is the way reffin goes and normally even's out.

Subban & Markov were top 2 goal scoring PP d-men in 12-13, but last year and a bit the PP just not working for Gallant nor Lecroix schemes. And as in Vancouver they went 2 PPs with zero shots, even with lots of zone time. Surely one of the 5 should be able to get 1 puck on net?

Maybe they thought he is just riding coattail of scumbag Domi's kid? Bozon, if gets healthy will have Reinhart to play with till one of both get traded in New Year. Sitting at 3-13 Kootenay will improve once those 2 are back, but doubt will be a contender.

Its a goon factory! (or just reflection of Bergy's culture change)

You say cheap shot by Burrows, so what, it happens. Was he targeting head, my opinion, not a chance. If it was a goon or Matt Cooke-type then toss book at em, but wasn't ; I thought may get suspension and he did, but really does not matter to me what it is. Is totally irrelevant to Habs, is history....other than Emelin may still be concussed which we hope he isn't. (unless you want Beaulieu to play as well as Tinordi; or maybe Pateryn or Dietz and Tinordi?)

Habs don't play Canucks again till Dec. so dosent really matter to me, if he got none, 1, or 5 games. Burrows not real dirty player, Emelin was admiring (shocked at) his frickin braindead turnover pass, did try and duck hit at last second and unluckily he took it on the chin. Bit late maybe? Just hope no long term injury.

Nice. Condon was 1st star. 4 shots for Andrighetto, good to see. 2nd goal in last 3 for Thomas, would be nice to see him show scoring touch/finish with nice shot he has. (0 for 5 on PP eh)

Missed calls went both ways, Gallaghwr was basically sitting on Miller on 2nd goal, not a chance in hell it should of counted and Subban mugging Sedin wasn't called? why? complaining about reffin is waste of time, owners get called what they want called, dosnt always make sense nor is consistent and actually feel bad for NHL refs. At least NFL refs know to call a penalty exact same in pre-season as last minute of super bowl. Not so in NHL.

PPs isn't always an easy/simple fix, Crosby-Malkin-Letang-Gonchar used to simply suck as a group on PP, which was hard to believe with all that skill.

Lost some $ to canucks fans but comeback was worth it, just to see them squirm for a bit. 3points out of 6 on 1st of 2 west swings this year and not another till March. Borderline call on Gilbert, but that is the way shitwinds blow sometimes and 4 on 3s' are deadly, especially with Sedins out there.

Don't need a Bubba Watson wind-up slapshot by Subban evey time, Tinordi was almost as dangerous just wristing puck to the slot and let Gallagher scamble for puck. How can you go couple PPs with ZERO shots? Got to work hard to manage that, when easily set up in opposition for most of PP time. If don't shoot, unlikely to score.

sorry bud , he just made me laugh more than anyone else lately (and my nickname when was 6 yr old player was "Leadfoot" and never was fleet afoot, so pull for many not so swift d-men over the years, like a Rick Green, Ludwig, Gill and yes...Crankshaft) And Habs won more than not with him playing, so didn't hurt, he brought some grit to a soft d-core and the hate for him was also too funny.
