Happy New Year Boys...
Any word on Price being on the ice this morning?
He’s icing his nads.

"I'd feel much safer with a 6th goal" is not something I've had to say about a Habs team in years.
Probably not since Gingras was dressed in bleu, blanc et rouge.

Gentlemen.... make your wager.
When does Victor Mete score his first NHL goal? List the date and opponent and we'll see who truly knows their Habs.

Loving this game so far.
The future is not quite here for the Habs franchise but the future does look bright.
-
They better serve a win over at Chez Weber.

The boys came to play this year!

Ta-Tarrrrggghhhh.....

I’ll be there.
Hoping for a clinic from the bleu, blanc et rouge.

I just hope Price shows up.

Don’t look now but we’re first in the East.

This post takes real sack.
I approve.

I like what I see from Domi so far.
My guess is that galchenyuk’s numbers will be quite soft this year as he’s again playing on a terrible team.
-
I have nothing against him but there’s not enough rocket sauce in the tank to ever be a real factor.
-
Lindgren called up. Price has the flu.
-
Slater Koekkoek is on the block.
L handed D, can move the puck, high pedigree and might benefit from a change of scenery.

I think he has gained some respect of all in NHL, he doesn't accidently-on purpose fall on goalies as often anymore and scored 31 goals simply from working his ass off all season long on a bad team. Am sure 30 other GMs would love to see him on their roster.
Agreed.
The “officials don’t like Gallagher” is worn out news. The guy is 100% heart and soul and probably next in line for the captaincy.
I remember his first season on opening night when the camera panned to him (he didn’t dress).
You could see the “You guys are making huge mistake” in his eyes. Gotta love the dedication.

Traded him to the leafs today in NHL19 for Timothy Liljegren and Marleau planning my own rebuild. ?
Also managed to send Alzner to the bruins for pics.

Opening night just got way more interesting!

That's nonsense. The goal was for Vegas to be competitive, not a playoff team, let alone a finalist. Even with the new rules, they were still selecting from 3rd and 4th liners and bottom pairing defencemen. Only a handful of higher end guys like Neal were available. I mean, you think anyone expected that Wild Bill would become an elite scorer? In two full seasons he had 5 goals and Columbus paid Vegas to take him.
Vegas simply had a magical season. You draft with the same rules next time and I will bet money we're back to the norm with an expansion team.
Disagree.
They were money from the opening whistle and tore a hole through excellent teams.
The immediate reaction is to dismiss it as an anomaly while I say their team was 2nd line forwards up and down the entire lineup and #3-4 defenceman.
i.e. no immediate weakness to exploit hence their success in a “weak link” sport

What do you mean? That was great to see Vegas do well, wasnt it?
It was. Nobody wanted to see Columbus v2.0.
My point is that while they wanted Vegas to do better than past expansion teams, they certainly did not want to give them a championship caliber team.
In retrospect, the Vegas first year was incredibly revealing. The owners gave them a package that most thought would maybe have them on the fence for a playoff berth. Quite a few pundits had them in the bottom 5 of the league.
Take home message being - I think a lot of us who think we understand this game (owners included) have a lot left to learn.

Props to the Habs for having a record nearly identical to the Predators at the halfway mark.
