La ligne à Desharnais commence à développer de la chimie mais collectivement, ça manque franchement de synchronisme. Diaz et Moen par contre, c'est sans espoir
- Habsody


Moen should be traded...for nothing.

from what i recall he should have covered up that first goal but otherwise he did look sharp. have to keep in mind that there was no Karlsson, Spezza, Ryan, Michalak. would have preferred to see him get the Wednesday game to get a better picture of where he is.

Markov messed that first goal up, badly.

Not trying to be a troll but Ottawa was missing there 1st, 2nd and 3rd line and only had one NHL defenceman (Cowan). Other than Zibj, Smith, Anderson and Conacher (who is still fighting for a spot) Ottawa iced an AHL team. Montreal looked pretty sloppy until the 3rd, it's pre-season so it's to be expected but I would have thought Montreal would have dominated more. Plekanics is awesome and Briere looks great. It's a meaningless game but no team can come out that slow for 2 periods and expect to win a NHL games.

agree with pretty much all of this. but like you said, preseason. completely meaningless. especially the last game. i was cringing the entire game, just hoping no one got injured. there is just no way that anyone is going all out.

that said, it was nice to see them get 3 by Anderson, and none of the cheap variety.

you're not going to find a taker for Moen, not with 3 years left on the contract. but if things get bad enough with Moen, i don't think the team would hesitate to bury him in the minors. you'd be left with a cap hit under $1 million.

here's my prediction...

Habs lose on Tuesday...they always seem to lose the 1st game...

- number_23

They're playing the Leafs, one of the best team in the league, won't even be close.

If Liles is worth a top prospect and a 1st, what about Moen?

Car Dealerships are the scum of the earth, just under insurance companies.

218.36$ just to change 2 tailgate lift cylinders, 82$ each + work (It's going to take 5 mins per cylinder max.)

just called NAPA, got them for 53$ each, and I'm going to install them myself.

Did Brière passing him the puck mess up your rythm and you had to work with a semi-croquant?

I powered through. Briere's passing actually left me with a half-pack of Lifesavers in my pocket all night.

You're likely right but I would think the Habs would be up for the opener.

I think they'll probably keep it close.
