345 days in the making.
That's how long it has taken for Shea Weber to make his way back to a regular season game.
A lot has happened since then. Notably, he's entering the game as Captain.
Is he ready? Just look into his eyes, you'll see a steely gaze toward his opponent for tonight's game ...
A lot has happened yesterday, to make room for him on the roster. A strange day, that finally saw Alzner jettisoned from the team. This is more likely to be remembered as the day Weber finally returned to the lineup as opposed to Alzner losing his spot. Not that Alzner is going to suffer all that much from his demotion ...
Alzner is fully ready for Laval, where he'll teach a new generation of Habs prospects, some old yuletide tricks, just in time for the holidays ...
And now that Alzner is gone from the NHL lineup, there is the matter of those post Cyber-Monday purchases that one regrets ...
Enough about Alzner, this will close a chapter for now.
What is particularly striking about most Habs fans, is how they don't tend to forget certain things. There is a close attention to detail, that has become their trademark. They will typically notice the oddest things.
Take for instance ... eyebrows.
No sooner had the season started when ...
With the recent call-up of Kenny Agostino, the discussion soon shifted to the latter's massive furry strands ...
And so, as a public service to those HFers who are intrigued, we can put the question of Domi's and Agostino's eyebrows to rest, once and for all:
Agostino looks like he needs urgent brow-taming. Domi has trimmed and plucked. One look is more natural the other more defined. Which of these looks garners greater appeal? The answer will be in the thread. And yes, it's a disturbing pursuit.

Finally, yesterday was also eventful on account of Flyers's GM Ron Hextall being replaced by Gritty. And speaking of replacements, it's high time that something be done about that anthem singer disaster at the Bell Centre.
On the Saturday game against Boston, we witnessed yet another instance of a singer going off key, causing a cringeworthy reaction. Further to so many inept singers having been tried and endured at the Bell Centre, it's long overdue that more drastic measures be taken.
