Kuzma saying 5 habs scouts plus bergevin were at canucks game last night. Cmon oprah. Vrbata for habs 1st

What I think the Habs need is something to be happy about, ergo why not Happy Hudler? I'm not as greedy as jstew though, a 2nd rounder will suffice.

Naw you guys need him for the playoff push

As if on cue, Happy Hudler lights the lamp. Driving up that trade stock

Saad got three shifts in the third period all on the 4th line.

Jackets win 4 of their last 5. Great! Who needs high draft picks?

Who needs high draft picks?

Flames could use Auston Matthews or Laine/Pulawhatishisnamejarvi. I'm not cheering for losses, but I'm not too upset if they happen either.

Looks like Torts was the right choice after all.

I can live with the flames getting Matthews - almost assures that they'll be in cap hell in a few short years and its been a while since they made a one-sided trade with the Leafs

Flames not moving him last summer might have been one of the biggest blunders of the season. It was too logical for it not to happen, and yet...

linesmen are fighting back!

If I'm Montreal I consider this a lost season. Get themselves a high draft pick and then hope Price is back for next season and be a good team again.

What do you mean lost?
98 points got you in the playoffs last season. For the Habs to reach 98 points all they need to do is win 23 out of their last 29 games.

Man, the "insiders" are going to have a fucking field day come draft time.

Eklund is probably already planning on buying every billboard in every downtown in Canada.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

the tsn guys seem happy about the cdn teams (and rogers) demise

 

[puckhead]

ceremonial puck drop shakes it up a bit

So I guess the Oil won't go undefeated the rest of the season? Based on the TSN coverage of late, I thought that team was unbeatable.

Sidney Crosby is reaching 2010 levels, and considering I thought I'd never see it again, man it's nice. Letang playing his best hockey ever. Probably get some Norris buzz, but Karlsson exists.

What a game. Pressure was on from the wife to put on a movie at 2-0, but I'm glad I resisted - didn't want to miss Crosby's 900th point, especially since thy were playing FLA knowing he had a chance to beat Jagr for 10th fastest to that milestone. Didn't expect him to just outright win it! (With a little help from Letang, who I think could challenge EK with a full healthy season under Sullivan).

Flames give the Canucks +2 Auston Matthews points tonight.
