Working the game over at the MTL Gazette tonight, but I'll pop in here.

Well then, that was quite the drubbing.

Sure was. Don't let the shot count fool you: Habs blew them away in quality chances. The big defence showed up last night and stuffed the two best offensive players in the league. Edmundson was hitting everything while Chiarot played a lot of minutes and kept the famed Oiler PP off the scoresheet.

The Habs have two lines clicking big time right now: Drouin and Anderson are magic together, they just seem to know where the other guy is at all times. Danault-Tatar-Gallagher have kept their chemistry going too.

Toffoli missed about a million chances, but he's always in the right place. Tatar is the forgotten man here with all the new additions, but he has a payday coming up and he's highly motivated.

Toffoli would be a superstar if not for his absolutely horrid shooting. He does everything else right.

How I wish the Avs could somehow snag Danault. The puck simply does not leave your team's possession when he's on the ice.

Habs v Oil again. This time Allen is in nets.

Romanov first NHL goal! Koskinen absolutely whiffed on an easy point shot.

Nurse got a late hit on Gallagher on Saturday, but Gallagher returned the favour tonight. Could get a rivalry going.

Allen is stuffing them tonight. Already paying dividends.

Habs take two in Edmo. They're good.

All the offseason moves look like smart ones so far.
