Might as well start a thread for the tournament.
Pietrangelo pulled out of the tournament today. Will Matheson get the call?
Last night on TVA, Lavoie said Caufield will be staying in Montreal during the break in case he gets called up.
Reinbacher hopefully gets a shot to show we were right in 2023.
If you outside our viewing area, it's on NHL Centre Ice channel 1113 on Telus (or whatever station you get the RDS feed).
It is clear Byron will be retiring as his contract is up. He has also been hanging out with management in the management box during games, not up with the rest of of the players in the press box.
Question then is what will his management role me next year? I say assistant to Hughes.
As for...
Drafting Russians is one issue covered. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/qa-canadiens-gm-kent-hughes-on-evolving-plans-injuries-and-the-patience-of-fans/
As I am tired of the constant tank this, fuck we won, fuck X team behind us lost, threads, I figured a little levity is necessary.
Therefore, here is a poll, best play by play announcer in recent Habs' history (I didn't use the poll feature deliberately).
French TV/radio :
a) Pierre Houde...
the Spengler Cup started today. Canada lost 3-2 to Sparta Praha. Former Hab David Desharnais is our Captain.
We play Davos tomorrow.
It would be so cool to see this tournament live one day.
Well it seems like just yesterday Poehling scored in the shootout in a meaningless less game to end last season. Now we are back and quite fitting we open against Dundon and his flush with cash Hurricanes. Given how Aho apparently used us, maybe Weber can show him why it was not nice to use us...
Always nice to be in a position to start one of these.
As I suspect we are headed for a wildcard, I will not worry about the division. I also do not consider ROW tiebreakers at this time, I worry solely about points.
Right now, we have 71 points with 22 to go. Max Points is 115
Columbus 69...
Well the season most of us have been dreading is upon us. I am expecting a similar season to last year's disastrous season. Hopefully, we aren't out of it by mid October like last year.
Still, hope springs eternal. The Mole in the top six is exciting to say the least. Needs to say there...
