I like that Bishop has zero NHL playoff games and his only pro-playoff game was a AHL-loss. Gallagher may have trouble running him over, but you know he will try.

Those 2 sound like likely canditates, but Lefebvre said he liked Czarnik's 'compete level' and must of liked him getting pummelled on teammates behalf, but dumb penalties he has taken should put him in pressbox. But he is a sneaky coach and will be Thomas-Andrighetto (because they arnt hitting or something)

(a rich loser ) I imagine he is fine person, but, I just don't think he has any 'hockey IQ' and seems to actually think he is playing fine as is? But the fly-bye stick checks and slamming on the brakes to avoid hitting an opponent (sometimes even when that opponent has the puck), is just odd for a big guy?

Hey hey hey! Now you are getting with the program!

Was waiting for this, am curious to see how Crispy's game translates to pro? Will be hard to judge in final few games, but maybe he will stand out and have an impact? Vail I assume will do fine as he did last spring.

Same as Bergevin said (in his interview with Nilan), need to find power-forwards/size/gritty player in the draft. And if arnt breaking down they are highly valued by draft team until they are UFA, then some dumbass GM will overpay. Prust was one who Habs got for a very fair price and even with his injuries he has be a positive on team. Moan has been a solid one also, but more at a slightly high price for bottom six guy (but he is just great on the PK).

Glad they entertained.

Sorkin been fine, not sure if has had much icetime in his 2 games. Had good scoring chance in very first shift, but hasn't really stood out good/bad.

Well, they won and Pateryn-Andrighetto-Blunden had nice games. http://theahl.com/stats/game-summary.php?game_id=1012116

Blunden ties it up with his 16th, from Andrighetto Sniper Tarnasty gets his 13th and Dogs up 3-2 in 3rd. Dogs PP suck so bad, they give up SH goal and 3-3 with 4 minutes left. Dumbasses! Pateryn rips a shot from high slot and 4-3 (DW says set up by great work by Andrighetto)

Interesting match-up. I think 2 keys stats, Habs 8th in Goals against, Tampa 8th in Goal for. But, if DD line is still hot in 2 1/2 weeks, got to give Habs the edge.

Another stoppable one on Mayer, 2-1

Bit soft one on Mayer, dogs down 1-0 2:32 2nd period LL scores, gets first point in 8 games and 1-1

Mayer-Holland-Nattinen, Schistal in. Owens-Courtnall, McIver out Dumont-Blunden-Andrighetto starting line. Holland-St.Pierre-Leblanc Sorkin-MM-Thomas Nattinen-Tarnasky-Czarnik I think is what lines are.

8 losses in a row, must be worse than being up 4-1 in a game 7 and collapsing? WIll their big streak be 48 years and counting very soon? Almost as much fun watching them plummet, as watching 20-51-67 go globetrotters on other teams lately.

Bozon was at Ice-Hitman game, looked a bit pale and thin, but to be expected I suppose. Kootenay big upset over Calgary in six games. (S Reinhart with 17points in series, he is one slick/calm/smart player)

Will see in a few weeks how she plays out. vs Tampa and then likely Bruins.

Looks like Lehkonen will be in SHL for 2 years.

If only that powerhouse Sabres could of beat Tampa, all would be right with the world. But chalk up another win for Carey and crew and solidify playoff spot (no clinch yet, but just as good as, 99.9996%).

Poor Leafs down to 6.5% chance of making it. (Habs @ 99.9996%) Hope Pacioretty & that line play the same in 2 1/2 weeks vs Tampa.

SH EN goal 5-1. Must be even mathematically out of playoffs now (or awful darn close) OK 6-1, why not.

2nd straight game with dumb penalty for Czarnik and 5 on 3 PP goal, 3-0 Thomas (from MM & Swiss kid) taps one in 3-1. not for long 4-1

Dogs down 1-0 3minutes in. Nattinen will be SHL bound in fall I would guess. 2-0 shots 20-3 in 1st.
