Thanks so much. I think maybe Carrier is too much small. If you have small, they have to be providing something big. Like Hutson and Caufield.

But where I think they really like size is up front. That fourth line needs to punish other team’s D.

Two more assists for Michael Hage in a 5-1 win over Harvard. 22 points in 17 games.

#Habs Mike Matheson on contract

"There may have been more money elsewhere but that's not my priority. My priority is to be part of this group and win. I'm giving myself a bigger chance to do that here. It's also important for the team to have more money to keep the players we have."

I do not think he will strike. Fans who do seem to think they have an abundance of D, but I don't. They have 4 guys they love and 5 guys who have to prove themselves.

Let the 5 guys prove their worth, then they'll trade

I think so. I think MSL knows he has 4 he loves and the rest he is trying to improve their games.. All of them.

Oh I think that was a good choice by you. You already got two terrific games.

That looked right to me today. Had his angles better. Was more still.

I think it was full speed. But who is to say.

So true. Suzuki is a tremendous leader. An extremely intelligent human being, and confident off the ice about who he is too. It means a lot in the room. It needs a glue. He is that glue.

Oh boy, I don't know. Firstly, he would have to show he's healthy and playing well.

But the player I really think could excel with 13 and 14 is Newhook.

I defer to the wise head coach when everyone returns.

Appreciate you

Appreciate everyone who knows that small acts are about character. They aren't for show. They're for your soul.

He really is very good at sliding into a high danger spot with no-one noticing him isn't he

A massive day for Montembeault 2.93 in goals saved above expected. Massive.

I think that long run he goes back with Suzuki, but short run, it's superb to see him getting comfortable carrying the puck.

He's pushing his skill set comfort forward with this move by MSL>

May I also say.... I'm so happy that so many are here at BlueSky with me.

I just couldn't tolerate silently supporting a man who saluted the Nazi movement. It was simply more than I could bear.

Hey Y'all. Everyone is in such a great mood tonight. I'm gonna tag my COTW. Hope you'll read it, and if you feel like talking about anything or asking any questions, I'm around to chat for an hour or two while I watch Texas A&M against Texas.

Attach the comment/question here.

I’d like for Demidov to have earned a bit more trust from the head coach. The ice time is consistently fairly low.

But I get it too. It takes time for a coach to believe in a rookie’s defence, even if those defensive numbers are pretty good.

Patience. Coach seems to have a pretty good instinct.

Me too. I am not a negative person. I don’t love having that section the biggest.
