Atlantic is so tight ... its crazy how fast standings can flip
Don't you remember that Bennington won against the USA team in the 4 NATIONS Tournament ?
If we had to be shutdown by a goalie, i prefer it to be Bennington! Team Canada goalie, and we have a title to defend.
Kind of jack in the box. I think Habs got some favours from Bussi (Canes goalie), Bennington got it all back…
Team’s plus and minus is now at zip.
They erased all trailing goals from « black November » defeats.
Is this going to finally be the year he scores 40 goals? His pace through 43 games is exactly 40.04. Last year he had 37 playing in all 82 games. Will he do it?
I would love it for the guy, even though it doesn't change much for us to have a 37 goal scorer or a 40 goal scorer to be honest. Unless these goals are highly critical for rankings on the moment, but that's hypothetical.
Would be mostly material for hungry journalists who could say he's the first to score 40 since Vincent Damphousse over and over again.
But will he do it.....maybe, maybe not. Cole may go on a strike and get a few hat tricks and some two goals games, he may also go on a slump, he may score one per game with impressive regularity. Who knows.
Content pour lui et l’équipe mais, ça peut vite devenir un couteau à 2 tranchants. On s’entend que ce n’est pas dans sa nature d’être aussi productif. Le jour où il va redevenir lui-même risque d’être très difficile étant donné l’humeur changeante des partisans fanatiques du centre Bell!
Battre les Panthers 6-2 est certainement un fait remarquable, leur liste de blessés est très longue mais, celle du Canadien l’est tout autant. Il y a des chiffres assez inusités dans cette victoire:
Texier, 6 tirs au but!!!
Dobson, 4 tirs
Suzuki, 1 tir
Caufield, 1 tir
Kapanen, 1 tir
Matheson, 1 tir
Slafkovsky, 0 tir
Danault, 0 tir
Demidov, 0 tir
Hutson, 0 tir
Mises en jeu:
Suzuki, 42,9%
Danault, 38,6%
Kapanen, 41,2%
On voit nettement que, dans l’ensemble, on a pas eu beaucoup de support de nos meilleurs et, pourtant, le score final peut laisser penser que ce fut une victoire facile. Ce qui n’a pas été vraiment le cas.

Real partisans know very well that Texier is not Oveshkin !
Les partisans fanatiques sont en majorité, que ce soit au centre Bell ou sur les rréseaux sociaux. Un jour, ils encensent MSL et toute la direction, puis après 2-3 mauvais matchs, ils réclament le licenciement de toute la planète! Je pourrais continuer à énumérer des exemples mais je crois que tu peux te faire une idée.
Une semaine, Dobson est un échec surpayé et l’autre semaine c’est le héros du club.
Ha c'est sûr! Mais pas grand monde ne s'attend à ce que Texier devienne un gars de 80 points hahaha. Ça n'arrivera pas.
I REALLY like Dobson on the top power play unit. He can still move the puck and can be the hammer on the power play they haven't had since Markov. I also like the idea of Hutson on the second unit, running it like a point guard. Perhaps he can supercharge it and give Montreal two formidable units.
Both my Habs & my Leafs are playing great exciting hockey these days so i’m a very happy hockey fan these days! Tonight will be a tall order for the Habs against the Caps & Logan Thompson, who may be the best goalie in the league. As for the Leafs after shocking the Avs last night they may be out of gas tonight against Utah. But the Leafs like the Habs are on quite a roll right now so who knows? Go Habs go! Go Leafs go!
First time I see those words in the same sentence!
Most of my buddies can’t believe that i cheer nearly equally for both of these teams. My reply is that like many men who are married they often have mistresses. So i tell them that i’m married to the Leafs & have a mistress named the Habs. And if i ever had to chose between my wife or my mistress i’d do the right thing & chose to remain with my wife.First time I see those words in the same sentence!
Since i now love both teams it gets confusing whenever these two teams play one another. I cheer every time they score & my budweiser light comes on every time each team scores! Lol
Sometimes i wear my Leafs jacket & the following day i may wear my Habs jacket depending if they won the previous night. That confuses people a lot! Lol.
I also own several jerseys of both teams. If the Leafs are playing i may wear my Leafs jersey. If the Habs are playing i wear my Habs jersey. When they play one another i’ll wear the home team jersey & let’s say the Habs score first i’ll switch to a Leafs jersey. I’ll wear the jersey of the team that trails. Why? Because i want the game to end in a tie in order for each team to get at least a point. Then in OT i’ll put on my Leafs jersey! Lol.
Same thing in the playoffs. The day the Leafs play i’ll put Leafs flags on my truck. Then when they play one Habs play I’ll switch to Habs flags! Lol.
p.s. People think i’m nuts! Maybe i am, who cares! Lol.

I like a lot of teams, fundamentaly I love the game and watch whoever is playing if I think it will be a good show. But I never cheered for another team, my city is Montreal and my heart is with the Canadiens. I’ve been following them since the late ‘60s, so yeah, I was lucky to watch the great teams that we had, and witnessed them write history.
Fun fact, I went through a few Habs jerseys in my life but, never bought one with a specific name or number on it, always blank or double zero.
The only exception is a jersey that Alex Kovalev himself gave me, it was a jersey that he wore, playing in the KHL, for the Ak Bars, Kazan, during the 2004-2005 NHL lockout.
He had just been traded to Montreal the year before. After the lockout, he came to visit our plan (Bombardier private jet) on several occasions and for some reason, he always stopped at my station to have a chat. Then on his last visit he brang the jersey, unfold it on my working table, sign it and shake hands, thanking me for my time. Very nice and kind gentleman.
And no, he didnt ordered a jet, couldnt afford it!
