Uncalled for penalties, an affront to all males? Even UFC bans that crap.

Murray keeps it 'interesting'!

Murray gets a crappy 15th-16th penalty minutes for the year.

likely good guess

Is my favourite option, but MB has to 'try' and see if he has any value or can play him in playoffs. And Molson needs to write the cheque to make him go away, so maybe Bourque's last gasp at playing?

76 with 3 shots/2hits, 79 with 4 blocks and Budaj have 3 best statlines, but Weaver had sweet hit, generally playing safe and solid (a la Gorges) Good game. What is Weise's injury? (Shoulder?)

Because none were of penalty quality and doubt Chara will draw Murray into a fight, as Chara wont run over or attack a Gallagher, Galchenyuk or the like. But might be a good one if does happen. But I wouldn't put my $$ on Murray.

Dirty Bruin.

Chara and the Swedish Tank have a chat.

Bourque has this and 9 more games to show he can do something or else he could be cheerleader/injury fill-in for playoffs. I want no part of him, but they have to see if can get some value out of him I suppose.

98.1% playoff odds. A win vs the BBB would pretty much lock up playoff spot. (99.5%)

Yes, Murray in makes it a bit more entertaining and cleans up any post whistle BS around Budaj (which never is with him there)

Would be nice to have Eller or White, so could win a faceoff or 2. Good game so far. Too bad for Moan, it happens. Budaj looking solid so far.

If they keep winning, why would anyone care about Frankie's icetime? Too bad if Tinordi isnt in, but Weaver is doing well and Murray was signed to play in just this type of game. Hope it is a good game, i expect it too be, but in last one vs Bruins, poor ol Budaj got outplayed by Rask big time.

Our fastest d-man is currently playing (seemingly sulking?) in Hamilton. But, Murray and Subban work fine by me, in absence of Captain Josh. Murray vs any of Bruins can be fun. Murray is only one I have ever seen flatten Chara and he & Tinordi add much needed grit on backend. Subban may be a equal match for Marchand, but he aint moving Lucic-Chara-Thorton etc and a bodyguard such as Crankshaft wont hurt one bit to back him up.

Should be another entertaining game.

Every game i have watched, PBP or colour guys (whether Michigan or opposition biased) were always tossing out glowing remarks about Bennett (smooth strong skating, smart defender, leader, etc etc) But, how he would of done in CHL? or how he would compare to a CHL d-man, seems hard to judge for me. His maturity is above Beaulieu, I think all would agree on that. Hope he is signed soon, Crisp-Vail should be in AHL very shortly, or a sweep looks in the works for ther teams.

But, is nice to have several options to mix & match for d-injuries. Wouldn't hurt Beaulieu one bit to finish year in Hamilton, but he does have a skill set that may be needed if Markov-Subban get hurt or need a break as they coast into playoffs.

Hope he draws in vs Boston.

Hope Larry isn't hurt bad and back soon, but if need to rest him for couple weeks likely is fine and Habs can clinch without him. He can go join Prust and Gorges on a beach in Cuba for couple weeks.

Well, encouraging to hear you 2 are fond of Didier's play. Do you think Bennett will do as well/better then Pateryn has in AHL? Pateryn's offense is a surprise, but Bennett has always been more offensive than his buddy; but how will his game transfer from NCAA-to pro level? Is Bennett a slightly less skilled but better defending Beaulieu-type?

Michigan didn't make BIG10 Tourny, so I assume he can sign with Habs anyday now? Does de la Rose have to wait till end of SHL contract April 30th to come over?

I made the mistake of switching from RDS to CBC at end; but, was just in time to hear Healy basically pining, 'Leafs better team and deserved to of won'! F*-# I laughed and that was just extra special topping to Habwin. And poor leafs, odds dropped from 60 - 42.2% of making playoffs, which is just more gravy to victory. Very bright morning.

Or not traded Rask to Bruins.
