Its amazing how little respect Nico gets. The habs blogger thinks none of the big players are dressed vs the habs.

Any of you guys use game center ? Im in canada so not sure how popular it is in the states but i havent purchased my seasons pass yet but was wondering if any of you knew if you needed to, to catch the game. I only ask because i noticed this morning it let me watch all of the vegas game but I dont know if that was because it was after the fact it happened or if I would have got to either way?

I do the hockey package, and it does look like im getting the Montreal feed at least. No Boston feed. If I remember, past years there was no preseason.

Im happy!

Not very impressed with Hughes so far. Obviously way too early to panic, but he's turned over the puck a bunch.

Yeah they weren't kidding saying he'll need to adjust to the NHL

He's used to playing against much lesser competition. It's a process for him to figure out what he can get away with against better players.

McLeod with a nice assist in the Montreal game.

Yeah like I said I'm not worried yet, but it's a slow start. Another positive is Subban is a (frank)ing animal. Dude is flying.

Gusev is really good at making those tight passes work. I think we're going to see a lot of beautiful set ups from him this year.

Yea they do. The obvious has been obvious.. PK is miles above any dman we've had in a long time. Gusev has high-end skill.. we'll see if it'll eventually translate to the NHL game, but there's no denying his talent. Boqvist and Hughes look good enough to start on the team. Schneider looks good enough against preseason competition. Smith.. has his moments, both good and bad. Carrick has been steady enough.

can't complain.

Yeah I have really liked Hughes as there is always alot of moving parts when evaluating his play and adjustments to new linemates and envirnments. A couple weeks ago he was playing with Boqvist now Gusev so he ia doing well all things considered. Speaking of Gusev I think we have a real good one in him. The plays hes making dont seem like its him getting lucky he seems to be that sick with the puck.

Hell i love watching Maltzev so far he can really play with the puck and protect it. He also seems like he has got some strength to him excited to see if he can push anyone out and if not what he can do in the AHL.

Hughes adjusted pretty quickly, eh? Different player in the second half. Would love for Gusev to start burying these.

He's going to embarrass a lot of defensemen this year.
