No clue about Prust and IR.
Any idea if and when Les habs put Prust on the IR?

Bourque was on the ice Tuesday morning for an hour. Apparently, he's closer to getting back into a game than Diaz.

What have you thought of Pateryn's play so far? He's not getting a lot of minutes but I find him to always be in the right place on the ice. He's obviously showing signs of nervousness but I think he's handling himself quite well in the big show so far.
Could be a very decent #6-7 defenseman.

Heard in NHL radio just now that Blake Geoffrion is retiring from hockey.

My guess is that with the family ties he could have some kind of ambassador role with the team. At least he would earn a living that way.

Theme of the game: 40 points. It wasn't the best game of the year but they found a way to win. They were the better team but failed to take advantage of several opportunities while Robin Lehner had a solid night. The team has 40 points in just 27 games.
Player of the game: PK Subban. Not even close. The way he controlled the play in the offensive zone was fantastic. His two points bring him up to 20 for the year.
Goaltending: Carey Price 29/32 (.905). Decent game, didn't see the third goal and didn't like the second one. Down too early and gave the top corner to Alfredsson. Solid in the shootout.
No time for anything else. I have to write a Capped article tonight. I will chime in if anything comes up and as usual all comments are welcome. Go Habs go!

It was weird, but I didn't like Subban's game after the second period. I thought he was brutal in the third. On the first powerplay, for example, he flubbed the puck a few times just coming out of our zone.
For me, the player of the game was Eller. Got a goal by going to the net. Stole a puck a few times (one that set up galch when he rang it off the post). Scored in the shootout. Won nine of 16 face offs. Seven shots. One hit. One blocked shot. He played a great game, I thought.

Eller was fantastic. He played his best game of the season. He was always on the puck, and made several great plays in all three zones.
But Subban also played a great game. His ability to avoid forechekers is unique, and it allows him to make a good first pass, then join the rush. In addition to his booming shot, he displayed some nice vision tonight with somegood feeds, most notably to Ryder and Plekanec.
Weak goal allowed by Price in the third, but he came out big in the shootout. For the last 10 games or so, the Habs are not winning because of Price's performances... In some games, the won despite it. That is frightening for opposing teams, because he will eventually rebound, and the team will be harder to beat.
