Yeah, neither option is ideal, but when one testicle has a tumor on it, it's a pretty easy choice.
Well he actually did knock down a guy in front of our crease. I haven't seen that happen in years. I was so excited.

Granted it happened after the puck was in our net but still...

I think Bouillion and Murray will rotate depending on the schedule. Keep in mind MT will likely work Emelin in slowly. I'd expect this:

Markov - Subban
Gorges - Dias
Murray/Boullion - Emelin

and soon enough

Gorges - Subban
Markov - Emelin
Murray/Bou - Dias

Murray draws in for the tough matchups, Cube draws in against faster opponents, or whenever possible for as long as MT is coach.

MT once said he greatest regret before coming back to the Canadiens was he wished he had been able to coach Frances Boullion more. Now ask yourself this, doesn't that make any sense at all?

I think there's a lesson in there. ;)

especially since the reality is, the goal was scored because Budaj couldnt get back to his position in time -> thanks to Murray who just pushed a guy "in the blue" ;)

I would release murray. I don't care how big and strong he is, he sucks at playing hockey.
He does look akward out there, but the guy is a beast at shot blocking, and hitting, and moves people away from the crease... I hope he stays, and the Cube sits upon Emelin being put back in...also the Cube is a team leading -10

Cube must think he's playing golf. One birdie at a time.

MTL is 12th in the NHL with a + 8 goal differential.

But only 4 D-Man have a +/- worse than Bouillon -10

Gudbranson (FLA) -11
Quicey (DET) -12
Weber(BUF) -12
Petry (EDM) -13

All those team goal differential is negative.

In 31:42 of 5v4 ice time on the PP this season, Francis Bouillon has been on the ice for one #Habs goal.

Things I never saw coming: #Habs Francis Bouillon averages more on the PP (1:35) than the PK (0:51). Last night it was 2:43 PP and 0:49 PK.

I told you guys that Murray wouldn't work well, unless he was used in very select roles. He still can be a somewhat useful asset, but he's been overplayed thus far. I hope the Emelin is tried with Subban. Have Markov-Gorges as the 2nd pairing and Diaz + ??? as the 3rd pairing. Obviously re-integrating Emelin will be a process though. I just hope he comes back as good as ever.

Surprised to see Petry being last, but then again, he plays for the Oilers.

Murray-Diaz would be a much better bottom pairing but if I had to guess Emelin will be eased back in being forced to play his opposite side with ****ing Bouillon.

If we dont go with Murray and we also take out White tonight, we're going soft again.
