Went to the game in Montreal tonight. Sorry, Canucks fans. Habs half-assed it and still put up six goals…

Dean Evason came in as a guy who people felt didn’t get a fair shake in Minny, and now you could argue he once again didn’t get a fair shake in Lumbus. Or maybe he’s not a good coach.

Bowness is hockey’s Rasputin.

Texier followed up the best night of his life with an even better one: a hat trick. Six points in his last two games. Plus a Team France announcement. Dude’s living.

Habs beat Panthers 6-2. One point out of the Eastern Conference lead. Four points back of Dallas for second in the league.

Texier had the best night of his career. Three points vs. The Flames. Finally elevated his game playing with Suzuki and Caufield.

Danault went 13-15 in the dot. The perfect fit at 3C for what Montreal needed. Not sure he’d be worth it anywhere else.

Hughes has really built a team where players fit ...

They’ll trade him to Carolina or Florida in a few years and he’ll thrive there. Can’t have an autonomous thinker playing hockey in Canada.

Hage led the tournament in scoring and Canada didn’t even name him one of their top forwards. Just a clown show top to bottom under Dale Hunter.

Not replacing Ehlers the final straw. He’s not exactly lighting it up in Carolina, but Winnipeg never appreciated what they had in him.

A Dale Hunter-coached team shat the bed in international competition? I’m shocked. Shocked.

One of those Schaefer goals was absolutely filthy. What a player.

Crazy stat: in Carey Price’s career, he played with one 80-point player, Kovalev in his rookie year.

Habs on pace to have three guys do it this season, with Demidov and Slafkovsky also coming up fast.

Habs put 7 on the board against Carolina, who lost their best goalie for the season.

Nick, Cole, Lane all PPG. Demidov not far behind. Slaf dominant.

They overreached on Markstrom, Dougie, Palat and Timo and they suck.

That’s a lot of money dedicated to aging anchors.

Loved Roy defending the Barzal slash.

Mailloux shouldn't be in the NHL, but he needs to be because the Blues are screwed.

Meanwhile, another crazy comeback win for the Habs. Down 2-0 to the champs with under five minutes to play. Suzuki ties it and wins it in OT with Marchand in the box for elbowing Matheson. Funny that tomorrow ...

Slaf-Kap-Ivan are a blast to watch together. Unfortunately, Bolduc is dragging down Suzuki and Caufield. Dach could take that spot but of course he’s not recovering well from his foot injury. Maybe Texier can be a temporary fix.


Even if Bolduc sucks that’s still highway robbery by Hughes ...

Maybe when the medal games start. Team Canada’s vibes are all off again.

Merry Christmas all. Go Habs Go

Ages of their top 7 scorers: 26, 24, 21, 19, 21, 25, 22.

And that’s not counting Bolduc and Newhook who are 9 and 10.

No wonder NHLers look so young to me. 9 & 10 year olds in the show!

Danault coming in will help a lot, especially with Evans hurt.
