since thr lockout we have one bust in the first round. Price, McD and Patches were 3 fantastic first rounders and Louis , tinordi and Beaulieu look good. One bad pick. Fischer is killing Timmins reputation and every team has a screwup as bad or worse than that.

Beaulieu http://www.cyberpresse.ca/sports/hockey/le-canadien/201203/09/01-4503882-nathan-beaulieu-plus-fiable-et-plus-fort.php?utm_categorieinterne=trafficdrivers&utm_contenuinterne=cyberpresse_B13b_le-canadien_427188_section_POS3

By phenom i was referring to the skills that made him a top 5 pick and had him in the NHL at age 20. Most goalies are gonna take till they are 22-23 to be ready.

I like him too. But who the GM and then who the head guy are both will have huge influence here too. Its a nice thought and I like the idea if its possible, but a lot of other things have to happen first.

I agree that is the problem. But its also the problem with having a Schneider type behind Price too. Makes it tough to get a good backup

Hal will be a coach someday if he wants it (either in Montreal or elsewhere) but I think he's got at least 1-2 years of hockey left as a #6 and PK specialist.

Bournival with a goal (28g 53pts in 38 gms) Ellis with an assist (50 pts in 57 gms) Pateryn named one of three d-men for CCHA d of the year award

I think we need a solid veteran behind Price who accepts the number 2 role but is reliable (unlike Auld/Budaj) A guy like Biron, or Garon, or someone like that. I'd like a youngster drafted this year too (2nd-4th round) because the youngster still has 2 years of Junior plus 2-3 years of AHL before he's ready. A goalie who isnt a phenom like Price is a 4-5 year project.

One year is fine but gotta stay top 3 to get another elite fwd for sure. (top 3 can fall to 4th, 4 elite fwds in this draft) I realize you might get a D drafted in the top 4 and the fwds might be there at 5, 6 or even 7 but I like guarantees. Also I like 3rd cause it lets Timmins pick between 2 or more guys

Rask only makes 1.25 million or just slightly more than Budaj. Halak was arbitration eligible and due for a big raise. Rask is arbitration eligible this summer and thaty might force the issue in Boston, but it also might not as Rask doesn't have the same numbers Halak did, especially the playoff numbers headed into his arbitation case (if he goes). Halak wasn't getting a "reasonable" contract bexause the arbitrator would have paid him. Remember that was the same summer Antti Niemi with worse playoff numbers got 3mill in arbitration and the Hawks walked away. Niemi might have won the cup, but his playoff numbers were actually not as good as Halaks. The big issue here was the cap cost. Now tell me, would we be a better team with a halk/price tandem, no erik cole (no cap space for him) and no lars eller?

Patch with 30 is just further proof of the great young talent this team has. Subban also had a hell of a game and got his 30th point of the year. This team can be turned around next season with a couple key pieces Just get Galchenyuk damnit

weber tried to screw up leaving smyth wide open so he could take a man Pleks already had but alas well 30 for Patches

Go Oilers

I'm only half smiling at this "win"

we have a 2 goal 3rd period lead and plenty of time to blow it. There is still hope

Damnit Kaberle

This is the Palushaj I've seen in Hamilton. This is the Palushaj I want to see more of in Montreal

For her. yeah

No but it happened to my girlfriend a few weeks ago cause she is so short. Bruised her thighs good. I laughed. Then I thought it could happen to DD one day

Got stuck and hurt himself jumping over the boards

Worst Case Scenario He'll get hot enough our new GM will want him back next year.

Best no goal ever!

Gomez having his best game all year. ###### I hate him

the shot hit Emelin on the way in, not budajs fault Kaberle's pass was awful though I'll take it
