You've gotta use .5 in setting over/unders, that way you can avoid there being a push situation.

Ugh, the list isn't coming until tomorrow, just wonderful. I don't see anything in the transaction logs so looks like the deadline went by without a move.

I think Weber will be there and White...hoping the others are but I won't hold my breath.

I don't see how Henry could help this team, at least as a defenceman. He skates worse than I thought, you can time his skating to centre ice with a calendar. As a 5 minute per game forward, perhaps, but not anything more I don't think.

Less than 2 hours until the Clear Day Deadline, here's hoping the Bulldogs can pull another deal off like the Vernace-Stewart loan last season.

I'm guessing one of those quotes came from my latest piece on HW. Any team who makes the playoffs has a chance to win the Cup, but when I think 'true contender,' generally the thought of, "boy, I hope we don't have to face so and so" doesn't fall in the same sentence. With the Habs, I think most would agree Philly would pose a significant challenge, as might Boston. Beyond them, no, the Habs can't be considered much worse (or better) than the others, but if you're at least somewhat leery of facing 2/7 Eastern opponents, you simply can't call yourself 'a contender.' As I noted in my article yesterday, I think the Habs can win a round for sure, particularly if they play the way they did on the trip. Can they make another run like last year? Sure, it's possible, but they may have to get a favourable matchup or two along the way; most Eastern teams can honestly say that too. They'll be in the mix when it counts though and that's all that matters at this time.

As I'd noted on the Bulldogs' forum, the best part was when it stopped, the whole crowd started to cheer before it went on again leading to a mass groan. I must admit that was a bit funny. I appreciate the offer, Lammy, even Toronto's a long trip for me though. Consider today, where me and my family went - it was a 1 PM start, we were on the road before 10 AM, got there just after the warmup ended (and we left early enough so that we could catch the warmup, or so we thought). Didn't get back until just before 7 either. Another hour plus each way to Hamilton, it literally would be an all-day (and then some) event. Still, it'd be nice to get to Copps for a game at some point. I'll file your note in the old memory bank for now though, gotta get out there eventually. As promised in my post earlier in the thread, I've got some game notes (good and bad reports) on some of the Bulldogs as part of the HW Recap. http://www.habsworld...cle.php?id=2411

I saw it live, stood and watched replay several times before I left as I found that odd as well. I still don't know why he was there (that was one of the rare times the d-men ever left the blueline) or how he got that open...for 2 shots. I'll take it though. Still hearing that lousy alarm in my head though, argh!

I'll put some thoughts on certain players in my HW Recap...hopefully I'll be able to write it tonight but I'll say this - if you thought the fire alarm was annoying either watching/listening the game, it was much, much worse in person. There's a lasting memory, I still hear the alarm in my head...

Quick 3 Stars tonight, in a bit of a hurry - http://www.habsworld.net/article.php?id=2409

Impressive that you managed to get a jab in even when he has a good game...he's had more than a few good ones too, though this one was very strong. Suffice it to say, I won't jilt him for the 3 Stars like the fans did...at least the TB media gave him a star.

Cammalleri's line to start the game. Lecavalier is in, but Downie's out, a bit of a surprise there unless he's hurt.

Evidently, the new uniforms didn't work out well for Hamilton, as the Bulldogs fell 2-0, snapping Dawes' 8-game scoring streak in the process. There is now a 4-way tie atop the North Division heading into tomorrow's rematch, a game that can be seen on CBC (and I'll be in section 107). http://theahl.com/st...game_id=1008255

Lots of times when a goalie fights, they're tossed. The 'scrap' between Price and Thomas was a rare exception. At least he got the win.

In the first half of a home-and-home (of which I'm going to the 2nd half in Toronto tomorrow), the Bulldogs (33-21-6) try to stay atop the North Division as they host the Marlies (31-25-8) who with a win, can tie Hamilton in the standings. Hamilton is wearing their AHL's 75th anniversary jerseys today, as shown below. Active scoring leaders: Goals: Joe Colborne (16) Assists: Mike Zigomanis (31) Points: Mike Zigomanis (42) PIMS: Matt Lashoff (123) +/-: Greg Scott (+11) Active scoring leaders: Goals: Nigel Dawes (33) Assists: Aaron Palushaj (25) Points: Nigel Dawes (51) PIMS: Jimmy Bonneau (143) +/-: Brendon Nash (+15) Puck drop is at 4:00 PM EST and can be listened to by clicking this link: http://cham.player.amri.ca/

Lecavalier a game time decision, Weber in for Picard. 4 RD's again tonight, this should be interesting.

They stayed alive, winning 3-2 today. Alexander Perezhogin, still Habs' property (for 4 more months) set up the winner with less than 4 minutes to go. Game 7 is Sunday. http://en.khl.ru/report/186/?idgame=30440

Another TV note, those who have Sportsnet Ontario can catch Tinordi tonight at 7 EST.

Well, a 3-0 lead is nice to have, though as usual, I can't stay awake watching these teams play. Pouliot's penalty at the end of the 2nd was really dumb, that may have him riding the pine in the 3rd.

There were 2 camps the last couple of years, Quattrocchi was in one of them this year as well - http://canadiens.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=533644. The other 3 goalies you noted were in the other camp though. I think Jerome Samson got a look once in a development camp but eventually spurned a Habs' offer for Carolina...but I'm going way off topic here.

I had read a stat earlier today that said the Habs are 14 games above .500 with Pyatt in the lineup and 3 games below without him. That's a sign that suggests the Habs may want to keep him in the lineup most of the time. White was decent last game (for the first time in a while) but isn't doing anything that says he must be kept in. As the Habs are doing with the D right now, expect a platoon between White/Pyatt, putting White in for the most physical teams and Pyatt otherwise.

Yep - the Habs wanted to sign Testwuide last year but he went to Philly instead. Quattrocchi was at the camp this year too, no one thinks he's a legit prospect though (he's either related to or knows someone in management who lets him be the spare goalie in camp).

I'd like to think Bisaillon could be useful for the Dogs but the coaches seem to like Petruic as an everyday player. I haven't quite figured out why yet though. You raise a good point with Harvey and House having been at the camp in June, House is having another point-per-game year with Maine. Thing is, he'll be 24 next month. Harvey still has a couple years of NCAA eligibility left, but players sometimes can get persuaded to leave early. Patrick Johnson and Joe Stejskal have to be signed or let go this year, might see a guy like Stejskal get an ATO if the Habs are considering signing him. Jonathan Brunelle may be another option as he was at rookie camp earlier. (As for whether Bishop/Nash were there last year, I can't say I remember and the Habs' site doesn't have the roster from last year's June camp on their site, just the press release.)
