^ and Karlsson is now Captain.  I'm hoping he'll stay a bit!

I thought this was pretty touching, considering the events in Ottawa today:

'Canes went 0-for-October, but are undefeated in November.  Go figure.

They may be just above CBJ but its only november, lots of time for a few more wins.  Columbus has tons of injuries.

Habs just  struggled against the Sabres... That was ugly.

Nashville is hot, and I think the Leafs are in a funk.  Although not as bad as the Laffs, the Habs lost against the 3-4th line of the Penguins, messing up with key giveaways, not really  because they failed to shutdown Crosby/Malkin (which is ironic).  Nothing to be proud about last night.

I see how the coach brings Malhotra to win the faceoff from Crosby, and then switches him on the bench with Galchenyuk or Gallagher.  Malhotra is earning his pay this season!

On side note, I finally got Videotron cable after fighting with Rogers Gamecenter (I gave up - they could not make my subscription work after 5 days).  Rogers has a monopoly, but the delivery with this product is terrible.

Saturday night folks!

Habs vs Bruins in Beantown!  Amazing classic rivalry, you gotta love it when these guys play.

Should have posted this sooner, but was busy.  A hockey great (Jean Beliveau) passed away last week. A true class act and leader in the sport.

RIP

I'm not well-versed enough in hockey history for the name to have immediately registered, but reading the obits, I was impressed...

Yeah, Jean Beliveau was one of those players that we all wanted to be like.... even if we weren't French. Just a master on the ice and really nice guy off.

They've got helmet-cams on some folks on the ice, too. The closeup footage inside the first-period scrum right before the 4-on-4 was pretty cool
