@oli_bou @IneffectiveMath "We're good with how it's trending, the arrows are pointing in the right direction" - MSL, probably.

Let's check in on the Habs defence after four games.

@glefrancoisLP Comme dans le bon vieux temps des Devils de Jacques Lemaire! Regroup-trappe-regroup-trappe devant les bancs pendant 59 minutes et ça finit avec un blanchissage pour Martin

@MrSeanGordon la zone neutre su'l béton 🥹

Par ailleurs, voici les joueurs qui ont été sur la patinoire pour le plus de chances de marquer de l'adversaire cette saison (100 minutes minimum) 1- Je ne m'attendais pas à ce nom-là au dernier rang 2- Ça ne finira pas 2-1 ce soir Source : @NatStatTrick

@BWildeMTL Dude just knows how to play. Smart, extremely adaptable, mentally tough. Not sure I’ve ever seen a prospect go from cut/ignored/afterthought to the top line at seemingly every level. It’s a great story!

@MrSeanGordon It’s so true. Never gets the high side benefit.

I’ve watched both Rocket games this weekend. Love Roy Beck Davidson Mailloux Engstrom Like and watch out for Tuch Gonna be tough from here for Farrell Big surprise for me was Davidson. So heady and physical enough to win many pucks. Tuch big boy smart throws it.

@glefrancoisLP 1-0 avec les tirs 14-12 et la glace de la zone neutre su’l béton

(évidemment, maintenant que j'ai écrit ça, ça va finir 2-1)

@JesseGranger_ What’s crazy to me is the last half-push with his left leg almost completely extended (and his hands, especially the glove, kinda behind him). Do not try this at home!

Finally, here’s the whole save in slow-mo.

At this point he’s in the slide, still heading for the original spot. Then Trocheck gets a piece of the puck with his outreached stick, which deflects it toward the net and changes the angle that the recipient (Josh Norris) will get to the puck.

@AndrewBerkshire Also can't discount Sick Boy's theory from Trainspotting: "at one point you've got it, then you lose it, and it's gone forever - all walks of life." Sometimes it's injuries, sometimes not (see the case of Gomez, S.)

@glefrancoisLP Le bon Earl a eu un rôle déterminant dans un des tristes chapitres de l’histoire du CH:

Et avec 89 buts, Cole Caufield est 1357e dans l'histoire de la LNH, à égalité avec Colby Armstrong et Earl Seibert

@perreaux @brendanshowbiz Meh. They only have one young D that I would qualify as excellent, they have some top-6 forwards on the way. It's not like you can't trade for an elite-ish top pair defenceman or two at modest cost when the cap dead wood goes away (see Boston, Carolina, VGK, NJD, EDM, etc.)

@brendanshowbiz @MrSeanGordon They're just going to have to trade some excellent young defencemen for some very good older defencemen. I'd hate it if I was a fan, but I don't see a choice.

Le narratif autour du CH commence à changer.

@AndrewBerkshire ´Yvan Demers’ showing up for his flight to Canada in St Petersburg

@AndrewBerkshire @MarcPDumont Fair enough, most fun since 76 then. But Hutson does Datsyuk-ian puck carrying stuff PK could only dream of (and would put Michel Therrien in the hospital)

@AndrewBerkshire Gonna an update here on #48 jersey sales

@MarcPDumont Problem's on the other side of the ice, imo. Barron can't win a battle in his own end and Savard, well, he's been un-good to the point where you wonder if he's hurt or something. What they need is Reinbacher.

@MarcPDumont *alleged penalty, not yet proven in court

@WPGMurat Give me 2,500 words by Monday on what each song choice says about the individual and what the list suggests about the group as a whole

There are a lot of wins here. A lot.

MORNING SHOW QOTD @TSN690 @petervryonis @TheStarters690 2 games in #GoHabsGO 1 thing you like 1 thing you dislike 1 thing you love 1 thing you hate #Habs

@kevindueck65 @BWildeMTL Dad’s not mad Kevin, just disappointed!

So much traffic. So much traffic not getting cleared out at all. The D corps needs to box out and get a bit nastier as well.

Lane Hutson, in game 4 of his NHL career, is causing veteran guys to hesitate before getting too close to him - unpredictability is terrifying to the NHL defender even if the other guy is just wee
