Hope the haters saw the clip Marty just showed of Dahlin’s passing.

Multiple difficult, smart plays under pressure against the grain to find the open man.

His hands are so good.

He's been much, much better defensively lately.  It's like something clicked.  He's also significantly more physical.

[LGR4GM]

Cody Eakin is basically worthless

[LGR4GM]

Mattison Samuelsson, woof on that goal

Two ways of looking at this one:

Despite being awful this year, the Habs have played better under St. Louis and will be primed to jump on a Sabres club who might be underestimating them.

The Habs are awful, and a hungry-for-wins Sabres bunch are primed to go for the throat and take advantage.

So far, it’s option 3:

An easily moved object vs a fairly stoppable force

Bjork: not good.

He's not The Worst.

I'm posting away in another thread, forgot I changed threads, couldn't figure out why everyone else was so quiet.

Duh.

[K-9]

Anyone else think that the jag placeholders are acutely aware they’re jag placeholders and that awareness shows in their play on the ice?

[Stoner]

[Doohicksie]

[DarthEbriate]

Again Skinner.

You mean they're consciously trying to earn their next contract?

[LGR4GM]

Dahlin to Skinner

[nfreeman]

Yeeeeshh.

[Cheektorado]

Damn

[Doohicksie]

Paging Mr. Skinner.  We need another goal Mr. Skinner.

[LGR4GM]

Yea... I'm good without Hayden being on this team ever again

[Crusader1969]

Perfect example of where they are as a franchise.  
great shift by the Thompson line leading to goal

Next up Bjork, Hayden and Janskowski.   Tie game

I just hope Adams is/was 

[Crusader1969]

If you could choose.  Who’s be first to go?

1) Jankowski

2) Hayden

3) Bjork

4) Eakin

5) someone else 

I’d say Bjork. - he brings nothing

Jankowski is decent. 

Eakin. They can't help but think winning faceoffs matters enough to give this black hole ice time. He needs to go. 

[Cheektorado]

Damn that's 2 I thought were in.

No. I mean they know they aren’t very good, they aren’t part of the plan moving forward, and that their play reflects a “what’s the use” kind of acquiescence. I don’t think it’s a conscious thing though.

No, they simply aren't talented enough. The use is they are playing for their nhl careers and they know it

Really?   Think of Philly, Islanders, Bruins and Penguins.   Lots more least favorites. 

Plenty to choose from for sure

Eakin Bjork Hayden Jankowski(I'd sign him to be 4C for a year or two, the rest can bugger off today!
