The new-look first line looked pretty good in its first game. Plek especially looked motivated to make stuff happen. He doesn't want to lose the spot. Internal competition is always good. Galchenyuk needs to work through this and force his way back up.

Hopefully Galchenyuk learned his lesson yesterday about over-handling the puck and keeping his head down.

Price is out DTD after the collision caused by the Pacioretty shove in the Columbus game. I would think it's a bruise and not a long-term thing.

Tokarski starts tonight. This is where losing Budaj for nothing hurts the team a bit. Instead of calling up Joey MacDonald they would be calling up Budaj. Thankfully Price should not be out much longer.

Just noticed this but Moen/Weise is now on the top line.

Also, the lead announcer on TVA screams like a girl when they score.

Galchenyuk back on the wing for now.

A couple quick observations:
-Tokarski is a good goalie but he kicks out too many rebounds and loses sight of the puck often
-Moving Desharnais to C and Galchenyuk to LW obviously worked. Each had a goal
-Thomas was buzzing all night. If he keeps playing like this he'll be getting his first goal soon

Joey MacDonald off to AHL. Looks like Price is good to go.

Subban had his 10th goal last night, that was his total all last year, be interesting to see if he continues the pace
Habs had their practice open to the public and Price told them he wouldn't be out for long. He didn't actually specify that he would start next game. Wondering if that means Tokarski starts with Price serving as backup...
