Greetings from Brossard, where the parking lot isn’t quite as full as it was during the weekend.
Today’s scrimmage is Team B (Budaj, Gorges, Spacek, Gionta, Max-Pac … Gomez if he’s ready) vs. Team C (goalies you never heard of, defencemen you never heard of because Subban won’t scrimmage, Darche, DD, AK46, Moen, White).

Dave Stubbs will shoot some practice video from rinkside.
Player video will be posted this afternoon.
We’d get the video up sooner, but there are issues in posting to YouTube from a building that bears the name “Bell”.

Nice tempo in the scrimmage.
Up and down.
No scoring … JM must love it.

Anybody want a ticket to the game tomorrow night?
White, sec 310, row EE
Face value $77
***Subbang Baby!!!***
If you mean want as in free then yes me me me!!!
how about for 77 $1 lotto scratchies?
Used or new???
depends on your definition of “or”
Yours appears to be “and”
dont be a narc
Your selling a ticket and I have to go on the road unexpectedly tomorrow so will miss the games on the telly. Hotels don’t offer RDS.
I actually played against Gallagher when I was in novice. I know you can’t tell much from that long ago, but even back then he was well known. He carried many teams to many championships and had pretty sick hands at 11 years old. Was pretty excited when I saw montreal had drafted him and how well he has been doing to date.
I played against Luke Schenn. He was brutal then too. Honestly, when he got selected in the first round of the bantam draft, 10 guys all huddled around a computer in the school library said “Him?”. None of had any idea how he made it to the WHL
Our D corps in the near future, 2-3 years:
PK
Gorges
Webber
Emelin
Beaulieu
Tinordi
Markov (if 2 years, but he might retire after this contract so who knows)
Got to say that looks like a solid defensive unit…
could you pair them up for others to judge, otherwise this is all for naught
LOL, ahh i see you are ready for some 2-3 year out tweaking! Atta boy mofo, your becoming the master tweaker!
Which beats the last job he had on a fishing charter baiting hooks. He was a master at that too.
***Subbang Baby!!!***
still am sir, my nicknames popeye
Tinordi way behind Diaz in terms of development, but he is a 3 to 4 year project. Because of Diaz and even St.Denis, expect Weber to be traded.
Have to tell you that inexperienced D doesn’t win much, especially at the NHL level.
I don’t consider Team C winning an upset. As I stated yesterday, that team probably has 7 of our starting 13 forwards. Team B only has Gio and MaxP from our starting lineup with Gomer injured.
What’s up with Schultz being the target of most of the big hits, it was Emelin on Saturday and today PK, is he a big slow target?
Can’t skate worth a lick.
Curious how much longer until Buffalo starts to either trade players or put some players on LTIR in order to get under the cap. Washington can probably wiggle through the capspace using injuries. Sounds like Tom Poti won’t be playing for a long time.
Based on last year’s frequent benching, I’d be willing to bet that the Sabres will be looking to dump Morrison’s salary. But I believe that still leaves them over the cap.
Yah his pay is $2,075,000 so that would still leave some work to do. Will be curious to see who they end up shuttling out.
Morrison is one target. Kotalik is rumored to be another.
cant wait to watch game tomm night on rds !!
GO HABS GO
When Gallagher was drafted I said this kid will not only make it – he’ll become an important player. So far so good!
if there’s a way to go back in the HIO records.. it’s there.
I’m also predicting Pouliot to have a great season.
————————————-
Listen to the Smart Dog. He knows his poop!
You had me up and until you had to bring Benny back in the conversation.
Where did you see Gallagher play to make such a “bold” statement, SD?
As for Pouliot, he’ll wake up at some point, then fall back to sleep, then wake up again…etc.
SmartDog, you’re a day late and a buck short. Trinifan and I were fighting over Brendan Gallagher on another thread yesterday. I won.
———————————
How about it NHL? No fighting, just hockey?

This’ll peeve some people off but I’m still a little sour about Pouliot being gone. He had plenty of chances but he’s a good 3rd liner at his worst. The way the world works is you give big, skilled, underachieving guys an unfair surplus of time to live up to their potential, especially when they’re cheap. Sorry not-big-and-skilled but underachieving guys.
Imagine AK-Eller/DD- Pouliot.
Or, heck, could’ve had 4 good lines: AK-Eller-Darche, Pouliot-DD-White. Two first lines, two third lines. Minutes distributed something as follows: 19, 16, 13, 12. AOK.
Dreams.
I’m gonna miss Benny and my sitting waiting for his break out game to finally arrive. Seems he spent the off season training and bulking up — was up to 2009, but by the time camp arrived was down to 2005.
He’s gettinfg results so far:
“While Saturday’s training camp sessions focused more on the defensive end and tightening gaps, Sunday’s two sessions at TD Garden were heavy on the transition game, with a slew of rush drills that led to nifty goals against Tim Thomas by Daniel Paille (top corner, near post), Patrice Bergeron (five-hole), Benoit Pouliot (short side) and Tyler Seguin (near post).” ESPN Bruins Report
Poupou will stink out Boston Gawden! He will trip over himself on opening night and cut his arm with his skate.
Gallagher will take a couple seasons to get there and will be a good one.
Stats guys, I need your help. Where is the best place to get hockey stats from?
I am looking for a table which lists all players and includes all major point categories, as well as, hits, faceoffs, and blocks. If possible I would like it listed in all one table that I can export (or copy and paste into excel).
My buddy is putting together a fantasy league where all stats listed above are equal in points… so I want to run a comparison of all these stats to see who is the favorite from the past few years.
I’ve heard nhl.com is a pretty good site for statistics.

NHL.com is the best place i’ve seen for stats. You can get hits, faceoffs, blocks and other stats and narrow it down by team or league. just watch out though cuz it can deceive you when you see a player who has only played 10 games but has a 75% faceoff percentage…
Habs fan…Nuff said
nhl.com is very good, but you can get those stats from Yahoo (except for face-offs) and I find Yahoo an easier system to read and use.
As for the full table that will let you “see who is the favorite from the past few years”, you’ll have to do all that work on your own, depending on how in-depth you want to do. That’s the whole fun of hockey pools. Doing all the dirty work yourself and achieving the best results. I’ve been putting together my excel sheet for weeks in order to find out which players combine the best combination of goals, assists, hits, blocked shots, pims etc etc.
Thanks. I was going to do the analysis myself. I just need the data to do it.
Unfortunately, NHL.com only has FO% and not total faceoffs won. I guess I can always make an assumption based on an average number of face off draws… but there are plenty of guys who only take a handle full of draws a year and have reasonable FO%.
EDIT
I see they have an additional section for FO’s which break it down. I can just copy and paste and sort the lists. It is a bit more work than I wanted.
I see RDS is televising the game tomorrow night.
Are they covering all the exhibition games?
Truly for the die-hards.
All but one – no Ottawa/Habs on the 24th.
———————–
GO HABS GO! 2011-12 is our year!
All but this Friday night, I think.
I would be pumped if RDS covered the scrimmages!
Stars vs Canadiens tomorrow, c’est exacte!
Glad to hear Maxpac got one.
Injury report as of now Scott Gomez (lower body), Lars Eller (shoulder), Ryan White (reason unknown) and Michaël Bournival (lower body)
If you don’t grok it, drokk it!
You forgot Andrei Markov (knee) and Joonas Nattinen (groin).
http://twitter.com/andrewberkshire
Did not forget that Markov is injured, but I’m trying to!
Nattinen was not on the report I got from Yahoo, so thanx for bringing it up.
If you don’t grok it, drokk it!
No problem.
http://twitter.com/andrewberkshire
White is groin. Nash? and Conboy? are also out. Fortier and Leblanc are also out recovering from off season surgery. The list is in fact fairly substantial. I think that yesterday it was up to 11 counting PK.
But PK is playing today.
If you don’t grok it, drokk it!
“Yesterday counting PK”
However you look at it, it is high. On the other side, 4 are from off season surgeries and in training camp, all injuries are rested so they don’t get worse.
Being a Habs fan is teaching me to be zen, you gotta go with the flow!
If you don’t grok it, drokk it!
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a FULL healthy team for once? Like seriously.
so what happened to Gomer he had a terrible year , didnt work out over the summer and now has a pulled hamstring , what a bad start ,
The rumour mill had him training all summer, with a personal trainer.
Maybe he was overzealous about it and pulled something
Like Markov…
Is there a negative to training too hard?
You’d think they’d have done it enough to know better.
Especially with a trainer.
@Bripro
The best example is Cam Neely. Due to several knee injuries, he rehabbed so hard that his hip began go as well.

Where is Bournival ranking in the prospect ?
5 goals in the Q (2 games) prior to joining trg camp. He will go back to Shawinigan and try to put together a dominant season as well as crack the World Junior squad. If he continues on his current curve he will certainly be considered an exceptional 3rd rounder.
I have very serious concerns about Gomer. What will happen to the team if he is not ready to go? We’ll be sunk and in the basement from which we will never be able to recover. PLease, Scott, please heal you groin.
…heal YOU groin, or YOUR groin…which is it Timo?
He’s been called many things on this site, but calling him a groin is a first.

We’d get the video up sooner, but there are issues in posting to YouTube from a building that bears the name “Bell”.
This wouldn’t happen in the Centre Videotron. Just sayin’.
on that subject, i am convinced the bell center gimps all non bell cell phones in the building
Take the sim card out of your phone. It’ll work then. Unless it’s a Crackberry.
?
how can a gsm fone work without its sim o_0
Couldn’t tell you.
But my buddy who lives in N.Y. City said the same thing regarding certain venues, and he removed a sim card and it worked.
I’m with Bell Monopoly, so I don’t have that issue. Just billing issues. Incessant….billing…..issues.
your probably confused with what he meant.; removing a sim card turns a phone into a paperweight
or an ipod touch in the case of the ifone
I’d assume that after the first batch of cuts are done Teams A & B will be reeling in the guys from Team C. Have they made any decisions yet as to which squads are playing in the games?
———————–
GO HABS GO! 2011-12 is our year!
I am guessing after today’s practise they will announce who is playing.
Subban is on the ice for Team C apparently.
Does team A play vs Dallas tomorrow?
-DLN
I would assume that is correct but I was wondering the same thing
I would expect a round of cuts by the end of the night. Maybe down to something like 30 players, with a gameday roster being announced tomorrow.
Good Call.
-DLN
lucky b*stard, so down to go see the game!
Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness was
An hour with no comments? Doesn’t seem right.
Everyone is still on the other thread cause there really isn’t any news yet on this one.
Can’t wait to watch the game tomorrow night. I actually like preseason games cause you see the up and comers play
I like the pre-season games, because it’s hockey.
Can’t wait…
If you don’t grok it, drokk it!
that too….lol
6 days until Yemelin introduces himself to some Bruins.
I might chain him down for the preseason game. Get him hungry/angry for the first meeting in the regular season.
I know it’s a little early, but I’m going to the Sabres game on Wednesday. Any ideas on how they will be doing the lineups for the exhibition games? Will it be Team A tomorrow, Team B Wednesday?
