The Canadiens had a team meeting, an off-ice workout and an optional skate for six in Brossard this morning.
Goalie Alex Auld, defencemen Yannick Weber and Alexandre Picard and forwards Tom Pyatt, David Desharnais and Max Pacioretty skated.
The Canadiens are home to the Calgary Flames Monday night at the Bell Centre before flying out immediately to Buffalo, where they’ll play the Sabres Tuesday. Then it’s back to practice with a game Friday in Ottawa vs. the Senators and home next Saturday for the homecoming of former Habs captain Saku Koivu and the Anaheim Ducks.

Trolling? Whatever. Good try, buddy.

I don’t need to be made to feel better about Halak’s performance. It’ll stand on it’s own. It’s really about the team..but nice trolling, making this about your Lord and Saviour of last year.
One need only look at the numbers before and after the string of injuries this season. See a correlation?

Not bad for a little guy…sort of another Desharnais…I really like their spunk and heart…I just hope we can give them a shot at the bigs…but I am afraid we can only really have room for one small guy like that and we have too many (Gionta and Cammi)…we need more size up front…I think every team could use at least one guy like a Martin St. Louis.
But you know what, in three or so years from now Gallagher could shine for us if Gio and Cammi have moved on and we have more beef up front…
b-b-but he used words like sophistry and nadir! Aren’t you impressed?
There are 8 goalies who have played in as many games as Halak. Of those, Halak is 7th of 8 in SV%. Does that make you feel better?
Centre Hice: Bruins blogger gets racial on PK Subban
I’d have to respectfully disagree..clearing pucks, blocked shots, screens, deflections are keys.

You’re lumping goalies who’ve only seen minimal action/games so far with sv%s.
I WISH there was a stat for odd man rushes.
With a healthy lineup, the Blues would be a top 5 in the West..
Good luck with Philly if you make the dance

ya but the thing with grabovsky was that he wanted out because he felt he wasn’t getting enough playing time.
Their penalty kill is 20th, and they’re 15th in number of goals given up while shorthanded, so their play while shorthanded doesn’t explain why their goalie ranks all the way down at 29th in save percentage.
Also, a team that’s allowed the 5th-fewest shots against can’t be giving up more odd-man rushes than most other teams, unless you expect us to believe that teams have an incredible knack of being unable to get a shot away on an odd-man rush against the Blues.

If you’ve seen as many Blues games as I have, you’d realize how many odd man rushes they give up..ridiculous actually. Their penalty kill is the worse and opponents are getting good looks. One pp after another..
But I wouldn’t expect you to realize much..you are rather limited.

Last nite, I was saying how Patches should never got a minor for bumping into Lundquist, because he was pushed or cross checked from behind by Dubinsky. Dubinsky all nite was playing with a chipy edge, because he thought that PK slew footed him. Anyway Lundquist should have gotten a major for punching with his blocker, but only got a 2 minute roughing penalty.
The Habs, still wondering how came away short handed. The officiating is getting worst every year. I watched the game today between Washington and Ottaw and green was smoked by Folingo, a clean body check. Green gets up and comes to the front of the net and slew foots an ottawa player. he gets a tripping penalty, but no one says anything about it. Pk or any Hab player does or supposedly does something and a big deal is made of it.
To you from failing hands we throw the torch, be yours to hold it high.
We talk a lot about SK, D’agostini and O’Byrne as youth that the team let go and have gone on to play better on other teams.
The guy we hardly mention is Grabovski.
His line in Toronto has more goals scored than the Sedin line in Vancouver. Ouch.
In addition, the Habs have the 2nd best penalty kill %, the Blues 20th.
You know the old adage: the most important member of the pk unit is the goalie.
Like I said before “everlasting is a troll” every post he replies to is always confrontational. Everyone is always wrong and he thinks he is always right, you say black and he says white. He is definately not a Habs fan, or if he is he sure as a funny way of showing it.
I don’t drink the kool-aid or wear the rose colour glasses, but seems like every remark made is always countered with his remark completely opposite. He is everlasting alright an everlasting idiot.

Your team chock full of AHLers has allowed the 5th-fewest shots against per game at 28.1, yet their goalie is 29th is save percentage. He’s not being overworked, but he certainly is underperforming.

Prospect Update:
RW Brendan Gallagher had a goal and two assists today and a total 2G, 5A on the week with his Vancouver Giants. He’s 5th overall in WHL scoring and he’s got 22 more points than anyone on his team. Not as many goals since losing linemate Craig Cunningham, but he’s still getting out the assists to help his team along.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
And the team has no bearing..chock full of AHLers.
A concussion to either Cammy, Pleks, Gio, AK and there is no post-season. That’s the truth.

Actually, they’ve taken 193 minor penalties, not minutes. 193 minor penalty minutes would make them the least-penalized team in the league.
Centre Hice: Bruins blogger gets racial on PK Subban
Are you kidding?
That’s what I said, however the NHL ranks the 8th highest as being 22, as the stat is counted in reverse, like I said. It’s just semantics, in my prior post I acknowledged that the Blues’ were 8th in minors taken.
Here’s the league’s website: http://www.nhl.com/ice/teamstats.htm?fetchKey=20112ALLAAAAll&sort=minorPenalties&viewName=penalties
15th in wins… 17th in GAA… 29th in SV%…

Thanks. The funny thing is I’m not a huge JM fan, but blaming him for the handling of young players is gone too far. I don’t think JM is the best at it, but he isn’t ruining players careers and a few players going on to be marginally better isn’t that big of a deal.
There is one thing you are overlooking with O’Byrne’s plus minus. Since he has been with Colorado, he has gone from even to plus 13. Liles has only gone from plus 6 to plus 11. O’Bryne in not on the ice as much in the final minutes when they are down and trying to catch up. Where he has picked up a couple without Liles is when the team is up a goal, he plays on a shutdown paring without Liles and has been on the ice for at least three empty net goals that I can think of, plus he has picked up assists on a couple of those.
I will go with his coach’s opinion, which is that he is the most under rated defenceman on the team. I heard him say those words directly a week ago on NHL radio.
Are you dyslexic? They have 193 minor penalty minutes..that’s 8th highest.

Exactly, put him with an elite level antithesis of himself and he has a lot of value as a physical shutdown D-man, put him with anyone else and he’s a middling player.
Right, 30 teams, 8th most also means they rank 22 in minors taken. The stat is counted in reverse, fewest=1th and most=30th. Or at least that how NHL.com does it.
Yes because Auld’s the future, trade Carey…
Maybe you should stick to soccer
And you’ve been dropped as a child.

don’t know any GM who would want to give up a good player..so that being said..it would pretty much indicate a temp player..if PG goes that route..here goes one of our established players maybe some of our good assets..if he could better the team for another five years plus..than that wouldn’t be so bad of an idea..otherwise PG..don’t go there..stick with what we have should we make the playoffs, and see how far the Habs can go..never know in the playoffs if they can get their scoring going..the remainder of the team is as good, in some cases better than most teams…….
Yeah yeah, I know. You’re Halak’s illegitimate love child.

If you’re a Hab fan, why would you hope that another team’s goaltender (and by extention, that team) have a better season than our own?

Honestly MarkC, if it weren’t for people like you, Chris, Punkster, and SeriousFan I’d have left this monkeyhouse ages ago.
Thank you for this post!
So we’re at bout the mid way point of the season and after the All star game there be the chance to make trade one last time to improve a teams chance to make the play-offs or win The Stanley Cup.We know that the other NHL teams will be making the moves necessary to achieve these goals but will the Habs follow suit? Will Pierre Gauthier dive in and do the things necessary to get the boarding passes for his team and their fans on a Stanley Steamer? Or will it be a lil move with a temp player as is usually the case in recent years???
what ever Bruins fan wrote this..is very ignorant and uneducated
