Yep but aslong as it isn't that Boston guy I don't really care and it's good to see where back on track for being one of the most penalized teams again.

Jesus christ. That goal really gave the Caps some energy and this turned into a great fucking game.

Like some RDS guys would not be Habs homers.. :/

Well, sure, that's a guarantee though. I thought Sportsnet was supposed to be a national network (ie. no bias) though. RDS is a Habs-only network.

Its Sportsnet West home of the Flames. Its a bit homey. Used to be anyway, they seem to have rebranded a bit.

Thats a quote.. lol

Still wondering what the hell is going on with Gio so far this year. Missing golden scoring chances and now taking dumb penalties.

Sportsnet is kind of regional though. While the network is national, the newcasts and programming produced for Ontario isn't what's airing in the West.

Okay, can't let this get to 4-1 or its over. Need the next goal.

Love seeing Eller putting in work on the boards and laying some fool on his ass though.

Yea gio is off, rough first period aside from the first 10 mins, D coverage is pretty shitty right now.

What is the opposite of a fairweather fan? Because MPW is that.

Yikes. Not looking too good at the moment. One thing I do like is that the Habs have delivered some good hits.

They are playing physical, more so than I am used to anyway.

Great save by price but why the fuck is the front of the net so easy for the flames to get to?

3 of our 6 D-men having a combined 54 games of NHL experience probably has something to do with it.

True but Emelin and Diaz have both played in the Olympics I'm expecting more from them. Eller looks pretty damn good for his first period.

Go back to HF Boards. Would having some goons have stopped Campoli from tearing a hamstring? Weber from stepping on Cammy? Markov from straining his knee? This is the most hilarious bullshit I've ever heard.

Yea, thats why its a bit surprising. Probably not a good idea if they want to avoid more injuries.

Having a tough guy is the most overrated and irrelevant bullshit argument spewed by fans and critics, it's just not necessary anymore and would not have prevented a single one of our injuries in the past 2 seasons and would have taken a spot away from an actual useful player.
 
Semin, Ovechkin and Backstrom have a combined 1 goal in almost 3 games played.

Jason Chimera has 3 goals

Totally unacceptable. One of these stooges needs to wake up in the third period.

This, doesn't mean your team doesn't need a bigger player, but he needs to at least put up points and skill other than just his fists.

4th line has been looking good tonight. Ovechkin looks horrible. He's had a few hits and that is about it.

The best thing about this game so far is seeing how good Eller looks. He looks a lot further ahead than Pacioretty does in my eyes. First game back and I've already seen him grinding in the corners, throwing the body (and dropping at least two Flames so far) and creating offense.
