Too bad you couldn’t be there Marvin.
Thanks for the upbeat recap. Food,drink, friends and hockey are a great combo.
Cheers.
They absolutely need to move on from Hemsky. I’ll be livid if he comes back and gets even the smallest look. That experiment should be over as all these new guys are playing leaps and bounds better and are a lot younger/hungrier. And, like you said, defensive depth isn’t a bad thing to have. I’m interested to see what happens with Weber coming back, who gets bumped from the lineup. My preference would be: Mete-Weber, Alzner-Petry, Schlemko-Jerabek. Not a huge fan of Benn but if he’s in he needs to be on the right side.
Glad your get-together was fun, Brian. A Habs win was icing on the cake.
