    Speaking of the Penguins, a classy move by the organization...

    Satisfied with Isles increased defensive intensity without resorting to traditional cap-style thuggery. Offense though will be a challenge for sure.
    Gotta love it. Bettman made the mess by wanting the Isles in the city. Didn't get that the fans in Brooklyn are mainly Ranger fans and Isles fans are in Nassau and Suffolk county. And they drive, and don't take the train etc. Also Barclays is not suited for hockey at all. All the seats behind one goal are useless because you can't see the goal. At least you get to see the SUV. Smh.

    3 wins in 4 days. Break up the Isles!

    Make it 4 in 6. It helps when the goalies aren't facing 40 shots a night.

    Rangers get 4pts on their west coast trip...I'll take it! I really like watching these kids play even with all the mistakes. It's been fun hockey. This kid we got from Tampa in the McDonagh trade, Brett Howden, is impressive as hell. The future is bright and I'm a happy camper...

    Any west coast trip that achieves a .500 record should be considered a big win IMO.

    Just like any other fans in an opponent's building...

    Good game btw... Habs rallied and stole 2 pts. Still have not lost 2 in a row all season long.

    Not pickin on ya buddy, but this is simply not true. I go to a bunch of games and the only opposing fans that roll in (at least at MSG) waving giant flags and banners are Habs fans. Yeah there's signs and things, but nothing like you bastards!

    I guess we travel well... although there are probably some of those fans who live right in NYC. One thing I have noticed about our team, we seem to have a lot of fans right in each city we play in. Old school hockey fans whose allegiance goes all the way back to the Original 6. I don't think all those banners and jerseys are Montrealers on a road trip. As for being all loud, if they're from here, they probably started to party 4 hours before the puck was dropped.

    Joel Quenneville is out in Chicago.

    Here's hoping that Ron Hextall is on the phone.

    Quenneville's message might not have been going over as well in Chicago these days but I think he's a quality coach who will be given another opportunity elsewhere, very soon. The NHL loves to retread its coaches.

    Very few of Chicago's notable struggles, if any, are because of Q.

    this was my initial thought as well. pretty shocking to have happen so soon too.
    Please don't ask questions, just use google.

    Crazy Habs-Rangers game last night. It had a playoff feel to it. McLeod went berserker in the 2nd period. It seemed like a bonehead thing to do at the time but it was what threw the Habs off their game. They then took a series a stupid penalties and while nobody scored throughout all those power plays, it ultimately shifted the game in the Rangers favor.

    McLeod was responding to Domi's open ice hit on 19 year old Chityl. Definitely woke the team up as Rangers went on to totally dominate that 3rd period. That end to end goal by Pionk was a BEAUTY!

    It became obvious in the third that the Habs had played the night before... On that game winner, they were all just watching Pionk skate right past them. Price needs to come up with a save at that point, but he's overrated. Been saying it for a couple of seasons now.

    I was shocked by this announcement. It will be interesting to see where he lands. Detroit could be in line for a new coach by the end of the season if they don't make the playoffs this year me thinks.

    When you watch your team, you always assess why they won or why they lost. You leave the credit to the other team unspoken. We all do it.

    Have to say Habs are the early season surprise. Las Vegas proved last year that it's a team game, and you can accomplish anything if you skate fast, work your asses off, and get good goaltending.

    I'm ok with Leafs start but they need to get the Nylander thing over and done with asap. The other concern is Matthews. Injury prone? Second major injury in 2 seasons. Some guys just don't have the genetics to last in such a physical game. Hope not because he's a goal scoring machine.

    Habs can't win two in a row, but don't lose two in a row. Don't think that will cut it, ultimately. At least they are fun to watch right now. Domi for Galchenyuk is looking like the steal of the off season.
