Weird New Year's Eve game night with many lopsided scores. Guess lots of teams started partying a little early.

I flipped over to NHL Network, and caught some of Road to the Winter Classic. It's interesting seeing NHL players in their everyday lives.

They had some behind the scenes clips of the Sabres when the Bruins beat them 3-0. Housley said to the team in between periods, "We're not going to let this goalie beat us," referring to Khudobin. So good for Khudobin getting the shutout.

Columbus keeps losing, Vegas did in the leafs for us, thanks.

Reading this warms my heart

The Habs have never been the same since they left the Forum but the reality is they have never recovered from one of the last games played in the historic barn.



Roy of course won the Stanley Cup later that year with Colorado and on his day with the Cup he showed up at the Habs office and startled a receptionist by plunking down the Cup and saying 'Remember me?'

The Habs have to hire him to be GM and see if he can work with Claude.

SUNRISE, Fla. — The Canadiens are simply a bad hockey team.

That’s the best way to describe this season that is basically over for the Canadiens two games before the midway point of the season with a 16-19-4 record following Saturday night’s 2-0 loss to the Florida Panthers at the BB&T Center.

Not only are they bad — they’re boring.

A fan sitting in the first row behind the Canadiens bench Saturday night got some TV time while wearing a red T-Shirt that read: “GEOFF FIRE BERGEVIN!”

It’s something that has to be crossing owner Geoff Molson’s mind at this point. If it isn’t — it should. Another fan in the stands was Patrick Roy, which should light social media on fire back in Montreal.

Whether Molson decides Bergevin or someone else is the man to turn his team around, it’s probably going to take a long time. As the legendary Red Fisher — who was properly named to the Order of Canada on Friday — might have written when he was still at the Montreal Gazette: the Canadiens are now in Year 26 of their rebuild since the last Stanley Cup.

Shea Stadium had more charm than this dump. (Sorry Lou)

Buffalo is the home team as the Rangers are not allowed to play any home games away from MSG for tax reasons with the City of New York.

IT'S COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD

Leafs’ defense slowly showing its true colors now: 20th overall (goals against / game). With that defense, they will never amount to anything special. Bubble playoffs team at best.
Only Pittsburgh could make magic happen with a below average defense, courtesy of Crosby, Malkin, Kessel.

And they ll have to sign Matthews, Marner & Nylander next year, their top 3 scorers.

True. I hope they won’t give any discount... Matthews @ 11, Marner / Nylander 8 and I would be happy.

Yah, boring! Same as the Bruins for the past few years. Clodes system is boring. And when the team isn't winning it's even worse. The Bruins are fun to watch. Even if they were losing more, I would still be entertained. I haven't watched any Habs games but they have to be sick of the cycling and perimeter play. Glad things are working out for Montreal.

So you’re doing this game too? You deserve a week (or 3) someplace really warm!

I somehow expect Marner will get slightly less than Nylander but nonetheless it will be a big number combined.

I'm going to Ireland in February - not tropical but better than this

Nice! We were there at the end of June this (oops! last year) what part are you going to?

 

[Bruinaura]

If you want to know just how bad Ottawa is...

Karlsson’s nightmarish 2017 ended with a December to forget. He was on ice for just six goals for and 19 against at 5-on-5 for the Senators in December.

Inspired by a night at Derek Sanderson's bar!

No matter the teams I am a big bleeding heart for the Winter Classic.

It's going to get rough there once the sun starts to set

Say what you will about Jeremy Roenick, but taking a plunge in sub zero weather earns major kudos from me

The other people who were out there with him were acting like it was a 90 day in July. Good Lord!!

Those shadows are brutal

 

[sooshii]

Let’s go Sabres.

 

[LouJersey]

That opening was amazing. Those jerseys are amazing. I would have gone had I known Ace Frehley was playing.

Does hurt the tv viewing. Should be better soon

Brings me back to when we skated as kids with NHL jerseys playing hockey all day. We played everyday that we could in the winter. Good times
