Rouse and Macoun! Both won Cups with Detroit. And Larry Murphy of course. šŸ‘

According to analyst (?) on Fox News, San Diego shooter was ā€œprobably vaccinatedā€.

Habs Twitter is getting pretty toxic, and it's pumping up my cranky meter. They lose tomorrow night I will be taking a much-deserved hiatus from here and working full bore on the draft guide. Pretty much unbearable when they lose a playoff series.

I got the impression listening to Chris Johnson that this is actually the very early work of starting to come back. Thereā€™s some thought the knee wasnā€™t hurt as badly as originally thought. They also want to work him a bit and see how the noggin responds every couple of days.

Obviously, still a matter of weeks but this was more work than show.

I think the good news is that it doesn't appear he is confined to his bed and a dark room.

I remember Dave Ellett. How did Macoun ruin his career?

So same lines as Tuesday with Sandin playing instead of dermott?

I like it.

Same here.

When Foligno and Tavares are back and Nash gets up to speed, I wonder what changes end up being made, but those decisions are for another day.

Nash hasn't been good in the playoffs in his brief appearances, but he's a playoff guy. He's that prototypical 4th line shut-down centre you want. He should draw in when he's ready.
BINGO!

Yes. I'm the only one who thinks Lidstrom is one of the best defensemen of all time. Just me.

There's a concussion protocol they are required to adhere to.

Starts with a very light workout - and then you see if he has symptoms.

That was today.

About the only move that would make any sense is if he replaced Kulak or maybe Merrill, but . . . I don't know. All I can honestly say for the Habs' D is that Edmundson has been good through the first 4 games.
- Monkeypunk



I mean if replacing your 6th defenseman with your 7th defenseman doesn't increase your offense, I don't know what will..

yeah, too soon to pencil him back on the 2nd line..

We'll need to see how he feels tomorrow.. From watching that practice skate, you could tell there was some discomfort in his knee/leg..

For the sake of starting a bar debate, I'll say you have to include Niedermayer, just for the bling-bling factor.

Neither did Paul Coffey. But he was great offensively. I loved watching him skate.

I have zero doubt that Dubas will be incredibly cautious about his return, against JTā€™s wishes if necessary

In all seriousness is there any concern from Leaf fans that this series has been so easy for Toronto that the step up in competition to Winnipeg might be a bit of a shell shock?

Leafs are a step up from Oilers too.
