Kinda disappointed in the Kings to be honest...playing a dismantled team with their 3rd string AHL goalie in net...I was expecting a trouncing.

Oh...and why the Habs needed Mike Brown again?

I fail to see what purpose he serves. It's like Bergevin cannot refrain himself from getting these washed up goon plugs

When a player reaches 400 NHL games he gets 250 000$ more in pension. Brown is at 395 and will probably won't play in the NHL next season. Bergevin picked him up because he knew the team is not in a playoff race.

that's how the Kings win hockey games. they get up a goal or two and play keep away. didn't see the game, but checking the RDS stats, it looks like LA had this game wrapped up 4-5 minutes in and then put it on cruise control.

i think Bergevin is a pretty terrible GM, but the Brown pick up makes sense. the Habs, collectively, are the biggest group of pussies in the NHL. not only are they soft, not only do they not stand up for each other, they don't even stand up for themselves. a guy like Brown will defend his teammates. and with these young guys in the lineup and the season in the tubes, that takes on some importance. Mike McCarron cannot be worrying about handling that stuff as he tries to get his footing in the NHL.

Even his skates are (frank)ing pussies.

With all those young players in the line up, the fact that they lose only by one goal is an improvement, right? Where did I hear this before...

Si Bergevin a ramassé Scott pour la NHL, je pense que c'est plausible.

So, so young.

Ok I finally watched the highlights
Wow Scrivens, wow.

it's not about scaring, it's about defending. specifically, it's about that responsibility not falling to Michael McCarron right now. that's it. this team is so terrible that they can afford that luxury right now.

Subban's turnover was ugly...but I don't know what the (frank) Scrivens was trying there. That looked like pond goaltending

A solid ten minutes before Octagon's hockey camp session is set to get underway, Jiri Sekac gets the sheet to himself. He saunters down to secure the nets, not wanting to wait for targets. His blades cut the sounds of NHL strides. His shot blisters off the crossbar at NHL speed, transferred from wrist to stick-tape with the ease you expect from an NHL sniper. He dangles, smoothly and precisely. He smiles when Tampa Bay Lightning forward Jonathan Drouin steps on the ice, as the two exchange saucers and bullet-paced one-timers before the heavy lifting of intense drills play out over the next hour and a half.

Sekac takes on the drills with determination, aiming to perfect them. It's play, but for Sekac, it definitely looks like work. The others--prolific NHLers like Milan Michalek and Martin Havlat, Michael Frolik and P.A. Parenteau take the opportunity to catch their breath in between the high intensity drill circuits while Sekac hunches over his stick for a second before grabbing six or seven more pucks to shoot. There's a hunger there, and it speaks even louder than the impressive skillset he displays.

By the time these guys are done with this boot camp, the ice needs emergency surgery. Sekac is among the last to step off, no worse for wear.

Pretty good debut for DSP. On for the tying goal in the final minute as well.

so i have all these aeroplan miles... try to book a flight, of course there's no availability for the return flight. so i try to book the outgoing flight only, won't let me book a one way trip to that destination.

it's just a wonderfully flexible program.

Still reads like a Penthouse Forum article.

Also just noticed that he describes those guys as "prolific NHLers" and not "washed up has beens."
