#Habs sure have earned this little break in the schedule.Rookie dinner, bet 27 & 11 couldn't be happier 64 & 37 are up with the team...

According to nhl.com, Number 11 is not a rookie

I hope someone will explain tipping to them.

I wonder if we should try to aim for Lecavalier for our 1st round pick and Collberg.

Lecavalier and his stinking cap hit ? Are you kidding ?

On another note, great win, Florida are in deep trouble though...

 

[Alexdaman]

I think you meant in your original post that they have 6 days off through the month, which can't be right either. It sounded like you meant they now have 6 consecutive days off.

No I said 6 days off between Ottawa, Jersey and Buffalo.

Just stay away from the purses, kids

Then why is he listed as 3rd in rookie scoring on nhl.com?

Misunderstood, thanks.

We don't need Lecav and if we re moving our first this year it's to move up at the draft

Habs Talk ‏@Habs_Talk

Emelin had 7 PTS in 67 GP last season (3G, 4A) and he now has 10 PTS in just 26 GP this season (2G, 8A).

That's 100% on Markov. For the 1st time of his long career with the Habs, Markov has a D partner in which he can feed up for the 1-timer on a 5 on 5 situation, and because Andrei is so good with the puck, Emelin has a lot of open ice to either take a shot or make a great pass. That pairing is even better than expected, it just sucks that Emelin has a harder time dishing out those big hits from the right side compared to the left.

No one noticed that the name on the sweater was a little bit longer than 'Gomez'...

Well Lecavalier is the kind of player you'll have no trouble trading.

There you go 4 lines that can bring some serious offense and no team in the league can keep all those lines shut for 60 minutes. If we don't win the cup we can always trade Lecavalier for the equivalent we gave to Tampa.

Lol. My bad I didn't read the fine print.

Lecavalier has passed the expiry date. Plus he had a hefty cap hit. No deal.

oh Gomer is still a Habs player

We definitely need more depth on the C, and Plekanec certainty is not a top 2 C on the team at this point, yup.

 

[Intense]

Only 16 shots on goal by the Panthers

Well the point of this is that every line on this team could be the one putting the big minutes during a game. Maybe not Eller-Galch but who knows maybe Galchenyuk will improve enough by the end of the season.

The LW on the 3rd and 4th line would need some arrangements.

That pairing is even better than expected, it just sucks that Emelin has a harder time dishing out those big hits from the right side compared to the left.

What is strange, seeing how they usually play together and Markov is the "offensive" D-man, is that so far this season, Emelin has 10 even strength points - and Markov has just 2.

Or stay away from peculiar meetings in washrooms that CAN lead to purse snatching.

He has one of the worst contracts in the league for salary, cap hit vs. production. Now Franzen is a guy I covet. He has a long contact too, but at a very affordable price.
