General Hockey Talk - Injuries, signings, factoids + other news from around the league

Habs lose, it's a good night.

Habs back down to earth? Huge come back for the Oilers (down 3-0 after one). Draisailt with the game winner -- he was just called up from the AHL, where he was struggling, apparently. McDavid with 2 assists is tied for 4th in the league for total points, he's now over a PPG.

If this team figures out how to win they could do a little damage. Imagine if they still had Petry. And a goalie.

Dallas just 2 points back of the Habs with a game in hand. Who'd-a-thunk it.

Why is it surprising, Dallas has a way better roster

Yeah, and Dallas is getting competent goaltending now too.

Dallas stinks defensively. They won't keep it up.

So you're saying the Habs will win the President's Choice trophy?

NOt surprising that the Habs are so good when they score 6 goals and Pacioretty has 0 pts.
Torey Mitchell and Dale Weise have 11 goals combined

Ya that's insane. But it's not sustainable.

Yes, the Montreal Carey Prices could win the President's Trophy.

So apparently Bob Murray out in Anaheim is shopping Cam Fowler around. He will only send him out East and wants a boatload for him. Boston needs help on D but do they have a "boatload" to trade? Wonder what it would take.

Tokarski recalled from the AHL Ice Caps. Price out with the dreaded LBI. For goalies this is never good: ankle, knee, groin.

What a surprise. Cue the losses.

I know a team that could use a LHD in the east.

Niemi looks good there. I'm assuming he'll be the hands-down starter there by January.

They already lost to Vancouver and Edmonton. Both with Price in goal. Condon is 3-0 in the regular season and was the best goalie in camp. Of course that was pre-season and he has yet to play a string of games as the #1 with an AHL goaltender as the backup. A different type of pressure.

Well, unlike some people, I hope he's a miserable failure and the Habs lose every game for the rest of the season.

Ditto.
