Montreal Canadiens

This team is almost fully healthy.

Price is Price again.

Hopefully Weber, Lehkonen and Drouin are back soon.

Schlemko and Jerabek in the lineup looking pretty decent.
Morrow's been a nice surprise.

Hemsky didn't show much before, but maybe once he's back he can contribute in the line-up.

Hemsky offers nothing and should be waived. Morrow was a healthy scratch last night in favor of Mete which surprised me. Mete was excellent though - even picked up an assist. They looked great particularly in the latter two periods. Yes we are in a playoff spot but everyone below has games in hand. As if I needed even more of a reason to root against Boston...and the Wings. Big game Saturday! I’m loving the win streak.

Need to make room for both Jerabek and Mete. The team needs their skating and puck-moving abilities.

That would leave two of Morrow/Davidson/Benn as casualties.

Completely agree - and Schlemko looks good in this role as well. Not a super star but certainly a nice addition and an NHL quality D man.

Mete-Weber
Jerabek-Petry
Alzner-Schlemko
Morrrow-Davidson-Benn

My pairings are not optimized with righties/lefties and such but that's how I see it right now.

I like the top 4 as the PP pairings but I’d like to see this at ES:
Weber-Alzner
Petry-Schlemko
Jerabek-Mete
Benn-Morrow/Davidson

Nice to see Carr back in the lineup though.

And JDLR looked pretty good.

When Drouin returns I hope DLR is demoted and Carr kept up. But that's just me.

I don't watch the habs much.. but I keep getting the feeling Hudon is set to bust out and start putting up some real points.

No, that's not just you...

And who the hell is this Froese? So random. Man, we need some better forwards...

Davidson is expected to go on waivers today. Jerabek won his spot for now.

I like this move. I’d expect him to be claimed.

10-1 and Pacioretty gets nothing. Pooler's nightmare.

Very telling moment: Towards the end of the game Pacioretty was floating around not doing much. No digging pucks, no real effort. Danault and Shaw worked hard on the same shift and combined for the 10th goal.
