Let me be the first to wish everyone visiting this thread a very Happy New Year!!

Hopefully the team rightens the ship and comes out of Carolina with 2pts.

Fearless prediction..Gallagher beats the snot out of Skinner in a battle of flyweights..

Happy New Year! Us Yanks get to watch the Habs struggle on the powerplay, followed by 800 year old Dick Clark mumble through the ball drop. Dick Clark makes Bob Cole sound like Daniel Webster. (Another Yank reference).

hmmm Dick died in 2012, be suprised if he mumbles at all.

La Presse has Murray out and says that Brière skated with Parros on the 5th line this morning.

I'd be disappointed if Briere sat. I thought he was one of the few who played relatively well the other night. Though, that does seem to be the time where he gets demoted.

Duh.

hey you're the one listening to dead guys.

The rumour is Bournival will return.

I love Emelin, when he came in the league he was one of my favorite players, but boy does he suck lately.

He's really having a rough go. I was expecting him to be a bit slower coming off the knee surgery but he has been a lot slower. I think we'll see more of these stick infractions which isn't good.

On the plus side, that was a much better period than we've seen lately. They actually look like they have some confidence out there.

I haven't figured out who knows less about hockey the Carolina announcers or the refs. OK I will go with the announcers but it is close. These refs are atrocious, eliminate fighting? they want to eliminate checking. Even imaginary checking, but in fairness they are shatty to both teams.

Is it John Forslund on the PBP? I caught a few Carolina games when Centre Ice was on free preview, I thought he was pretty good.
