different kind of player though, Gally hasn't slowed down as much even if he's also really banged up, and his ice time has been managed better.

Savard as a 7th dman could be a good fit for him if he wants to stick around.

big difference this year with Gally is that he doesn't have 1min shifts. in the past he would get tired and then take a bad penalty.
same with Suzuki btw, much shorter shifts this season.

yup, managing the ice time is definitely key, even for a younger guy like Suzuki... rolling with 4 lines for the most part is the ideal way to go.

The most important thing for Savard right now, from what I understand, is keeping his family close to Quebec so his children can grow up here, with the rest of his family.

I don't know how much of a discount that's worth for him, or if Toronto/Ottawa/Boston would be acceptable but I think there's a decent chance he's willing to come back if the Habs want him to.

if he ever wears a (frank)ing Sens jersey, I'm definitely gonna have to start hating his guts... I think I'd rather see him in a booins or laffs jersey, as crazy as that sounds.

This is the first time we can roll 4 lines somewhat confidently in a while. - lines 1, 3 and 4 have been solid most of the year, but line 2 has been too wildly inconsistent.

Still a vast improvement year over year for the team.

adding Demidov + Reinbacher + a decent 2nd line center that Hughes will acquire this summer should help a whole lot too.

No, no, he's a winger. Just not very tolerant to pain.

He received a puck on his forearm and he yelled in pain so loudly, everyone thought he had broken something.

It turned out to be a small bruise.
- Scabeh

I don't really blame him. Every "beer" league or just friendly has one guy who is convinced he is Dany Heatley or Shea Weber and would have been if he wasn't a retarded female genitalia and takes slap shots randomly at people.

I'm guessing we'll eventually get an AI daily blog like the Leafs thread.

I was excited for last off season, but as I said many times last year, I think the upcoming off-season is going to be the most important of the HuGo era, they need to solidify the core and go beyond just having more prospects coming up (eventually).

Gonna zone out of any comments about this before a knife fight breaks out.

there were talks about Demidov potentially being able to terminate his current KHL contract so that he joins the habs sooner... that would be awesome but I doubt that's something we should realistically expect to happen.

9:44 and I am already mentally exhausted. Gonna be a long long day.

Well that C-Lo poop certainly will NOT help! Why don't you switch it? You still have 899 to choose from! You don't owe C-lo anything except a thank-you for not putting out absolute garbage juice to the masses.

Do yourself a favour!

I am given a random album every day from the website... which is kinda cool as I never know what to expect. But also crappy when you have 2-3 albums in a row that are not real bangers or a hard listen.

Oh for sure. For me, I just wouldn't have the patience for that. So good on you for that.

If that were me, I'd be polishing my sniper rifle, crossing off people on my "To-Kill" list and putting lipstick on like Steve Buschemi......

I almost don't want him to come over this year, not only because it would burn a year on his entry level contract, but because the team is really focused right now and I wonder if the media distraction will be a significant deterrence.

Let the kid ease in at camp next year.

Rottenburger is too much of a female genitalia to let him go. He's like a kid with a toy that he can't have. If he can't have him, then nobody can. (frank) that pasty ass hat. We can wait for DemiGod and will be that much sweeter! And have the full 3 years of the entry level contract.
