A very lovely city in Winter.Seriously, Jacques. They came back at 1am and left for Quebec City early in the morning? Guess those power naps work.
Scouting report!
- Since it was essentially mostly AHL/ECHLers VS the almost regulars of the Pooh Bears, I was expecting the sandpaper. A bit subdued, though, for a Bruins/Habs game.
- Mathieu Carle...isn't going to make it. I'm sorry. The way he's playing just screams "I know I'm not in your plans this year and probably next year too". But let's face it, if Subban and Weber are out with injuries, and we can't risk losing Belle to the stupid waiver rules, he would be the next in line (I blame you, Valentenko). But at this rate, Benoit will be the injury reserve in the worst case scenario...
- Desharnais is, however, skating his way into all our hearts.
- Rhino must have realized that he plays better as a defensive defenseman over a punchy defenseman.
- Angry Sergei was back tonight. Got into a fight. Didn't get any marks on his face either. And got a hug from the ref.
- Oh and Sergei is wasted on a line with Wyman...
- Gionta is still laughing!
- And really. Kessel was twice as far into the zone than Gionta was when he scored in the playoffs. Yes, I'm still bitter about that crap.
- HMCS Hal Gill: slow, methodical, steady. He's also taller than Chara.
- Gorges looked so tired near the end. I think he was on the ice the entire night...
- Weber's showing he's a better defenseman than Streit.
- Gui needs to learn how to just tip the puck into the net when Gionta centers it perfectly for him.
- Hey guys, the net is on the ice not in the air. Just saying.
- OMFGJOSHGORGESSCORED! Yea it bounced off a Bruin, but hey, if they're all bouncing pucks off Rhino then we can do the same!
- I think we went 15 minutes in the third period without a whistle. It was...mesmerizing.
- Jaro no see puck! Help Jaro!!!
- Some poor lady got a pane of glass fall on her head after Chara checked Darche through it. Gill went to see if everyone was OK, and the ref gave her a puck. She was pretty happy about that, oddly enough.
- Yea no one can really hit the net. Then again, what's the point when there's 5 goalies standing there. However Rask is like Price (they go to the same camp after all). But Thomas should be taking notes on how he plays. I also need to laugh at Toronto every time I see Rask play. Sucks to be you~!
I'm kind of annoyed right now because my fucking laptop decided to suddenly not cooperate with my fucking internet and I have no idea why. And my brother fails at IT support. Sigh...
Tomorrow it's then Pens. Then I guess they'll start cutting players. I know that other teams have cut players already but I guess when you have FIVE FUCKING GAMES IN FIVE FUCKING NIGHTS you kind of want to keep everyone around. Though it's rather useless anyway 'cause there's no way you can practice or teach a system without, you know, practice time. Not many teams are going through the new coach/new players stuff either but whatever. People freaking out over preseason losses are retarded. And if Malkin and Crosby eat Price alive tomorrow, we'll hear the same old crap as usual.
