Glad they didn’t listen.

Allen with a couple of clutch saves there.

Just survive these last 42 seconds Habs. Just survive.

Petry with the open netter, and Habs wins 5-3.

Great win tonight guys!

Maybe I should just sign up for a month of Center Ice..... how bad could it go?

 

[puckhead]

on the plus side, 3 more points for Huggy Bear.

It is a close race, can’t lie.

I'm not sure if this is real. I haven't watched 1 period of Senators hockey, but I know they are awful.

Price and Allen are having fantastic years.

So what's the best offseason signing for Canadian teams... Corey Perry for less than $750k, Toffoli from the Canucks with a $4.2m cap hit, Jake Allen from the Blues with a $4.4m cap hit and ability to give Price some rest?

Those are just Montreal's, and while it feels obvious to go with Toffoli since he is the leading scorer in the NHL currently, I can also make the case for Corey Perry since he's been very reliable in creating chances, and could also make a case for Allen as it's been such a relief to have a very reliable backup goalie (even if it means we are spending 18% of our cap space on 2 goalies.)

 

[Comeds]

Ok, but any free game or game I can find online (so far no luck) I am watching. And if they are fortunate enough to make the playoffs I will watch.

It's Markstrom so far and it's not even close. Toffoli has 1 pt against teams he didn't play for last season, gonna have to do something against other teams before entering that convo (although he may have been worth signing just to beat up on the Canucks tbh), Perry's a taxi squader and at best a peripheral player and Allen's been good but he isn't their starter.

Markstrom's 4th in the league in sv% (5+ GP).

I have to agree with BBB, I don't know if the Flames have a single win this season without Markstrom on the team. Big Save Dave has morphed into Big Sieve Dave.

/That said, all of Bergevin's moves have worked out tremendously well thus far.

Just let me know beforehand to make sure that I can measure just how detrimental you are to the Habs performance.

All good points. I haven't watch a ton of Flames games outside of their games against Montreal.

I only mentioned Perry as he has had a very good impact for essentially no money.

Markstrom did absolutely stand on his head in our only shutout of the year. We were easily the better teams, but we just couldn't get anything by him that night.
