  Ryder has 9pts in 7 games with the Habs. Erik Cole has 7 points on the season. People still missing that big body driving to the net? Look's like 21,11,and 51 drive to the net just fine... Our biggest need is a Gudbranson type but they don't grow on trees. But Pateryn looks solid - no panic in his game.
• Comment on UPDATED: Pacioretty headed home from Switzerland
  This seems to be a significant move in the players' direction by the NHL. Am I missing something?
• Comment on It's time for hockey fans to vent
  For all you folks who are already going through withdrawal: Three words of advice - play the game! Ever since I finished grad school (11 years ago) I have been playing rec league hockey. Played a ton of street and shinny as a kid but never on a team. It is such a great source of camraderie, networking, and alcohol! By playing, you never lose your connection to the game. I never miss a habs game, but it is via DVR/PVR whenever I have a game or pickup session myself. The only exception is for a game seven versus the Bruins! Hopefully some of this advice to be a useful prescription for what ails you.
• Comment on Multimedia: Canadiens Tuesday practice
  What do you think of this lineup? Robidas, Markov, McDonough, PK, Hainsey, O'Byrne, AK, SK, Grabovski,Ryder, Ribeiro, Koivu, Desharnais, Pacioretty, White, Pleks, Lapierre, Higgins, Price, Halak/Vokoun/Theo. Leblanc? Lats? Would we be under the cap? Would we win the cup this year?Are all of them Timmins picks? Maybe we don't need a GM? Maybe Timmins for GM? What can i say - nothing better to do on a tues night but dream...

  Was just looking at the final scores for all the habs losses. It seems like our worst loss was 5-1 in Chicago in Dec? (I think Budaj was in net). This club is not that far off. Good younng core. Markov back. A functional powerplay, a shutdown d-pair, and a big center should make a huge difference. I have no problem with Roy as coach - we need someone with fire behind the bench. Experience with young players doesn't hurt. Is Grigarenko a center? I also think it will reverse the corey-houle-tremblay jinx. Maybe Mike Keane should be assistant coach to seal the deal? Voodoo dolls for Thibeault, Rucinsky, and Kovalenko as insurance?

  I had more than a few beers before and during the game. Bass drafts at Elephant and Castle pre-game and buds while at the game. That should justify a mulligan on the Phaneuf comment. Cut Phaneuf and paste Regehr/Kronwall.

  On the Habs - Bourque, by a country mile. Gainey's brilliant post lockout theory of skill and speed over everything else is bogus. Size matters.
