Oh, and not like it was a big secret but Alexei Emelin is a fucking meat-for-brains moron.

The hit itself was clean, and normally I can't stand people who harp about the so-called "code", but really? In a 10-1 drubbing you lay out a guy like that!?

Agreed. Hit was fine but the timing was suspect.

Anyways, Emelin would fight back but he has a metal plate for a cheek after a fight in Russia, so it's not exactly a good idea.

Galchenyuk is still out but the Habs are hanging on. Phil Danault has suddenly blossomed into a quality centre.

Shea Weber nearly took Brendan Gallagher hand off with a slap shot. The latter might be out for a while.

8 weeks for Gallagher. How many more years on that contract?

Someone on Reddit posted a list of collateral damage (players, Trotz and a bystander) from errant Shea Weber slapshots over the years. I used to play ball hockey in a league with my brother. I would stand in front of the net, while he'd be along the wall or in the slot. His accuracy was terrible, and he kept shooting high at the net, often getting me around the hands or chest. I got at least a dozen welts that season.

Anyways, my brother's excuse was that he's a bad hockey player. Weber is just a dull automaton. An astonishingly uncreative player who can only A to B it. If that means firing a 100 mph slapshot at your teammate, so be it.

GOTY candidate. From Phil Danault, no less: https://twitter.com/MarcPDumont/status/ ... 2535343104

He's been amazing since Galchenyuk went down. 21 points in 42 games this season. Not only has he replaced Eller, as Bergevin suggested he might, but he's a better 2nd line centre than Plekanec at the moment.

It's still early in his career so he might hit a wall, but Bergevin still stole him for a couple of spare parts (pending UFAs Weise and Fleischmann).

rewatch that clip a few times.
Pay attention to his cross over strides while going forward.
there was a report on tsn about how top speed players generate more speed by taking 3- 5 crossover steps while going forward.
At 1 point he's mostly traveling forward and takes 6 or 7 cross steps.
He has some pretty neat top level skills.
Great find.

Uh-oh: Carey Price is struggling. Let in 7 against the Wild last night. Save Pct. has dropped from .930 to .920 in the last month.

Is he hurt? In a funk? Human?

The Habs are sliding. 17 wins in their last 40. The Adams is bad so they're still 1st.

Price has not looked himself for two months. Yeah, probably the baby.

After a fast start, Weber is just sort of hanging around.

Where's the magical veteran leadership and hates to lose that Weber was bringing at the start of the year?

He was forced to play 30 minutes a night for two months straight.

Yeah but I thought he was going to be the guy willing his team to victory? Shouldn't have a problem doing that with his veteran leadership no matter how much he plays.


Sorry, just poking at the MSM know it alls who were proclaiming all of the Habs "leadership" issues fixed with the trade and subsequent hot start to the season.

The funniest part of the Habs season so far: The only guy bringing it every game is Alex Freakin' Radulov. Seriously.

Remember after the PK trade I said Galchenyuk would be next given he's an upcoming RFA and isn't trusted by management?

Well well well... http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/30-t ... canadiens/

Trading Galchenyuk for Duchene is basically the same as trading PK for Weber: You get a little older and less potential for upside. Wouldn't shock me if they threw in Beaulieu for Beauchemin.

Bergevin said this morning he thinks this lineup can win it all. Of course he's supposed to say that, and I'm sure he's on the phones looking for help, but what are the lines going to be for now?

Gotta load up the top line:

Pacioretty-Galchenyuk-Radulov (ride them hard)
Lehkonen-Danault-Gallagher
Shaw-Plekanec-Andrighetto
Byron-Mitchell-Flynn

I'm almost put Shaw at C. Just load up the top line and up the middle and let Ghetto/Carr/whoever skate along the sides.
