    Thanks for posting this Yves, I watched it last week, Very interesting and eye-opening. It must be really tough for some of these guys.

    Brendan Gallagher out with two broken fingers from a Johnny Boychuck slapshot. OUCH! Habs will miss this guy for a while.
    Too bad as he was on a roll lately, third on the team with 19 points.

    I saw that this morning. The Habs have had a few bad-luck injuries this season that may cost them. Although they're still quite far ahead of the pack, so who knows.

    Gallagher is my favorite Hab! They are saying he is out indefinitely.... I have no idea how long it takes to recover from something like this.... Damn!

    I'm thinking the Red Wings' Dylan Larkin may win the Calder Trophy this year. If it's one thing the Wings have been able to do, it's get some amazing players in the draft. For the last few decades.

    Yeah and their farm system must be amazing to keep bringing up high-quality impact players like this year after year. Detroit's a team I have a huge respect for in this regard.

    Me too. They always seem to do it right. Max Domi could give Larkin a run for his money for the Calder though.

    Bummer about Gallagher. He's a pain in the ass, but an excellent player. Always in the middle of things. Hope he gets back quick! I won't miss him taking extra shots at Henrik tomorrow night though!

    I have found that he has toned it down a bit this year. Less interference, less penalties, more chances to score. We could definitely have used him tomorrow night! Lundqvist has been hot lately! I have no idea what the time table is for his injury.

    At least 6 weeks, the NHL site showed this morning.

    Yes Klonk, Price is back... He's got 2 games under his belt and should be in top shape tonight....

    Gallagher gone 6 weeks... Let's see who steps up in his absence...

    Apparently Devante Smith-Pelly will be taking(or rather trying to take) his spot

    Let's see how long that lasts. Smith-Pelly just isn't a first line type of player....

    Habs just gave Marc Bergevin a well deserved contract extension. The man has been a phenomenal GM!

    Canadiens completely dismantled the Rangers tonite. NYR played like they were half-asleep in the defensive zone all night and could generate no offense at all. I swear I saw Price reading a newspaper at one point.

    And when he finally had to put that paper down he strained something again and left the game soon after. Wasn't scheduled to play against NJ in the first of 2 home at home's with them, prolly sit 'em both out, maybe more again.

    Habs looked so much better than us tonight. Even better than the 5-1 final score.

    When you think it can't get worse with the Oilers... Nail Yakupov gets injured after a linesman falls on him after a faceoff!

    Price re-aggravated the injury that kept him out for 3 weeks .. I'm thinking it's some sort of MCL strain. Condon is not a long term solution. Let's hope Price can return in a few games... I thought the Habs dominated the first period, the Rangers dominated the second (latter half of it), and those 2 early 3rd period goals by the Habs knocked the wind out of the Rangers. Good to escape MSG with 2 points!
