Habs fan since: 1995: Saw my first hockey game of my life live at the old Forum, The Habs vs The Sens. Koivu scored, and Roy was in nets. A little over a week later Roy was traded, talk about bad timing! I never saw the Habs lift a Cup.
Favorite current player: Saku Koivu

  So PK had his first practice with Team Canada...how long till there are reports of his teammates not liking him?

  No one cares about size if you produce. When it mattered (down the stretch and in the playoffs) DD did not produce. Same goes for Pleks, but at least he contributes on the PK and in a checking role against the other team's top center. DD is useless if he is not producing offensively.
• Comment on Subban a finalist for Norris Trophy
  I don't think either Gionta or Markov will be on this team when they're a true contender for the cup.
• Comment on Liveblog: Senators spank Canadiens 6-1, take series lead
  Is there any reason for Travis Moen anymore? Doesn't hit, can't/won't fight, and is just generally useless. He's entering into the world of Gomez "but he's great in the room" territory.

  you guys need to take the blinders off. it was a terrible result, but it was not a malicious hit. Brian Campbell on Umberger was almost the same. If you see the front angle (facing Eller) it's pretty clear he had his head down and Gyrba caught him with his shoulder. it's not his fault he's 6'5 and Eller was low and not looking. Although I will agree that it was a blind side hit, but i believe they've removed that part of the rule to simply indicate principal point of contact should not be the head

  That was a suicide pass by Diaz, and I honestly thought the hit was clean, and think most of the damage was done when he hit the ice face first with the visor on.

  That's true, superman is the ideal hockey player.
