Justin Barron's goal ties a league record for most rookie defensemen scoring their 1st NHL goal on the same team during a season, which is 5.

you're right, I probably heard that wrong then, it must be the most rookie defensemen to score a goal in a season, just not their 1st NHL one.

I don't recall a coach in MTL being so laid back and buddy-buddy with the media. the "honeymoon" will probably end at some point but it's very refreshing compared to the more traditional demeanors from Julien, Therrien, etc.

so easy when you don't have to win

Teasdale is on a tear. The guy has battled injuries but I'd love to see him given a few games with the big club as things wind down. Not a sniper but a real hockey player. Harvey-Pinard seems to be making the most of his chance. Teasdale might surprise with his 200ft game. Ylonen has had his chance. Belzile the same. Teasdale is due his shot

Ylonen seems to be the kind of guy who needs time to find his marks.
took him 1 year longer than I thought in Laval.
might take him as long to do so in Mtl. problem is he may not get that much time.
