  Leblanc is a talented scorer. He has a nose for the net; he has excellent hands, and he plays a scrappy game with an edge. That was the Leblanc that I knew. The one that got him drafted in the 1st round by the Habs. Now I read that Leblanc is being told by the Habs brass he's a 3rd or 4th liner. He's been injured; first his shoulder, then his ankle. He must be upset. I hope he can regain his old form, but I think this is a make or break season for him.

  I was just around the area yesterday thinking how great it would be. As much as I love hockey, I am a bigger baseball fan. Played, coached, and of course cheered on the 'Spos. Last game I saw was a Saturday night, $1 hot dog night, vs the Atlanta braves, and we were fighting for a Wild card spot. I was with my late father and my two sons. We knew it would be his last game. Back, to back, to back "jacks" by Wilkerson, Floyd, and Guerrero, had the huge crowd on its feet, "hanging from the rafters". I remember the moment vividly.

  Month / Save % / Goals against average january / .924 / 1.98 feb / .925 / 1.87 march / .903 / 2.81 april / .876 / 3.49 http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8471679&view=splits clearly shows that Price's numbers to begin the season were very good, and Price's numbers to end the season were not good at all.

  Price's mother was the "Chief" of the tribe where he grew up. Price grew up in an extremely comfortable and privileged environment, and there's nothing wrong with that. He is proud of his heritage. Nothing wrong with that either. He likes to remind people (and himself) that he's got a unique family background. Nothing wrong with that. Jack Todd suffers from an overdose of Political Correctness, and that causes him to misunderstand many people in this world. Todd also is a "Yellow Journalist", which is defined as follows: "yellow journalism" n. Journalism that exploits, distorts, or exaggerates the news to create sensations and attract readers.

  Price was solid throughout the season until we clinched a playoff spot against Buffalo. Budaj was in nets for that game. After that the team, as a whole, stopped skating, and the goaltending, both Price and Budaj, were terribly inconsistent. How had we climbed to 2nd overall by that point? It was not a bad start that needs to be addressed here. And a bad start would be the extension of the argument that a player had an ineffective off season training regimen. It was a bad finish to the season that needs to be explained. Nothing to do with Price's off season training with his Junior team.

  Dietz looks like a bonafide NHL prospect, and another 5th round steal. I'm not sure about Thrower. Can he develop into an NHL skater?
