Exactly. They have a fort at NOTL. Plus, you can get nice jams and jellies, and go for a carriage ride. Now that's capital. - Comment on Senators become Canada's only hope for Stanley Cup
The Sens' are Canada's team like Ottawa is Canada's capital: if that's what they want to believe, they can go ahead. - Comment on Size isn't a problem with Habs, Plekanec says
"They don't grow on trees." Agreed. But by the same token, do you sign one of your three tiny forwards—the slowest, with the worst defensive record—to a four-year contract extension? Maybe if you plan to trade him, but I don't get the sense that's the plan with DD. IMO, Gallagher is the only small forward who should be part of their long-term plans. Gionta's contract falls away after next year and I think they should be looking to trade DD, who at his best will be a 50-point man, when a reasonable replacement emerges. Maybe that replacement is Galchenyuk. Maybe it's someone on the open market. Who knows. They should also be looking to sub one of their smaller defencemen, but they should be able to do that from within. With luck, Beaulieu will continue his development, while Tinordi is pretty much ready and I like what I've seen of Pateryn in Hamilton (thick and solid, like Emelin, with a good hockey IQ). So who goes? Markov is worth keeping for the last year on his deal, in a limited role; same for Bouillon, who's been extended anyway, so we're stuck with him. Gorges is probably here to stay because of his contract. That leaves Diaz, who could conceivably fetch a nice return. As you can see, this is no overnight proposition. I assume MB's looking ahead to the '14-15 season, which is probably wise. But if that's the case he really must halt the inflow and retention of undersized players. - Comment on Size isn't a problem with Habs, Plekanec says
Is it too much to ask for the Habs to be good, quick AND big? Like other teams currently in the playoffs? - Comment on Emelin out for the season with torn knee ligament
I'd offer a similar dispatch from here in Toronto, but Hockey Night in Canada provides that service to the entire country on a weekly basis.. - Comment on Ryan White sidelined with lower-body injury
