Like all of MB's moves, I think this is a small upgrade, but still doesn't address our greatest needs.

some random twitter account that apparently gets quotes of the meetings of habs management and coaches that happen behind closed doors.

not exaclty reliable, and if you go through the time line its a lot of throwing shit at the wall.
Ok, thanks!

For the record, I didn't think MT was a terrible coach, but he should have been fired after last year in lieu of trading our franchise defenceman in order to please him; and besides that, the team - supposedly built to win NOW- has been uninspired and uninspiring over a span of almost three months. It was, simply put, time for a change. It's just a shame it didn't happen nine months earlier, which is what any normal organization would have done.
I completely agree. Makes you wonder what would have happened had Julien been available last year.

I don't hate the logo, but it's certainly meh-ish.

I've hidden the offending comments, so this might seem out of context... but just a reminder that there is no tolerance for personal attacks.

If pacioretty played, he was cleared to play. Simple as that. This shouldn't be a debate imo. Therrien would have 'sat' him if he thought he wasn't capable. And pacioretty played fine, just a lost step.
Exactly. The doctors probably told him that he'd be x% limited and would have to play through pain, and my guess is Patch (and most any other NHLer) didn't hesitate before suiting up.

I think Hudon has been out a few weeks and needs time on his conditioning. I expect him to play a few AHL games and be recalled again.
This. There's no need to think anything else is going on behind the scenes IMO.

Thank god there's a game tomorrow. Turn the page!
Hopefully this is the wake-up call they needed. If they shit the bed in the first tomorrow, I'm going to have some legitimate concerns.

Well...declining veterans can often kick it up a notch for brief spurts. Trevor Linden led the Canuckleheads in playoff scoring even when he was a doddering old geezer. So while the WC results are encouraging, I wouldn't read much more into them than I would the offensive struggles of the early season. A few more months will tell the tale.
Fair enough. I guess it'd be more accurate to say that I'd be concerned if he'd been similarly snakebitten at the WC tourny as he had during the early goings of the season. From what I've seen he's still getting chances and shutting down the opposition... he just can't buy a goal.

I'm always fretting about Plekanec taking a step backwards offensively. He's turning 34 and is entering that 'danger zone' where a player can lose a step, or lose that extra fraction of quickness in their hands/wrists, pretty much any time. If this does happen, the Habs will be right back in the crapper at C, relying on DD again to carry a significant part of the load offensively.
That being said, who knows? Pleks could soldier on for another 3-4 years as a perfectly productive, 20+-goal C. I wouldn't infer much, either way, from early season issues.
I'd be more concerned this season if Pleks hadn't had an amazing World Cup tournament. The points will come.

I don't see Paul Byron as possessing quite the same skillset. He lacks Weise's blinding speed (he was faster than everyone else on our team), thick skull, size and physicality. Byron's a tiny little guy with better than average speed and a pretty good defensive sense (better than Weise's by far).
Not saying I don't love Byron, but I don't see him as having taken Weise's spot.
Maybe I'm alone here, but I don't think Weise comes close to Byron's speed. I always thought he was a pretty average... well everything. And although he's a bigger body, I don't think Weise was as physical as some would make him out to be. Byron's pretty scrappy, IMO. I think Byron will put up more points and having him on the PK makes other teams respect his speed. I don't know if I'd call him an upgrade, but I'd definitely take Byron over Weise.

I'd really like us to move beyond the night-by-night Subban/Weber comparisons, which seem totally beside the point to me, since one game proves nothing about anyone; but obviously this is just wishful thinking on my part.
Weber would understand that sentiment better than Subban.

Not a clue?
If I remember correctly, I don't think he's eligible to play until the 23rd.

Tinordi a healthy scratch tomorrow for Ariz. vs Habs.
I never thought he would be a bust.
Isn't he still serving his 20-game suspension?

Is it just me, or is there something slightly unsettling in the fact that two of the Habs's biggest absentees last season - Price and Petry - are STILL out of the lineup on opening night? Just a coincidence, I know, but the symbolism is ominous. It's like last year just won't go away.
I hear ya. I had a horrible sense of deja vu when I put Price on my IR slot on my fantasy team.

I agree with Brian, Sergachev looks great when he's got the puck, but I thought he looked very uncomfortable, hesitant and timid defending in his own end. I don't think it'd hurt to have a few NHL practices with the big club, but I'm all for sending him back to the minors this season. As much as I want him to be NHL-ready, I just don't think he is.

Sherbak and big Mike have looked good so far

The Americans scored 2 goals in 2 games.
1 goal was in garbage time, and Toews put it in his own net.
1 goal was scored by a defenceman.
Max was garbage. So were 12 other American Forwards.
This. There was absolutely no cohesion or chemistry with any of the forwards. The team was just built wrong.

Nabbed tickets for the St Louis game. Annoyed that it was the optimum pricing.
