BREAKING: Carey Price will be back with the Canadiens on Monday, when he will meet with athletic therapists to develop a plan for him to return to action.

Good for Carey if he only needed a short break but please take all the time you need, this ship is sinking and you don't need to feel that it's your job to save it

The problem is that he probably does, even though the Habs' woes aren't really due to goaltending, Allen hasn't been great but he's been better than 3-9

Yep, I mean Dahlin has the second most points as a teenager in NHL history after Phil Housley. He's 6'3" 210, has maybe the best stick skills from a Dmen in the NHL (can't flip a puck past him). I'd take 44 points in 82 NHL games over 9 in 15 SHL for an 18 year old dman. Dahlin also only weighed like 180 his 18 year old season, definitely wasn't grown into himself at all. His next year he was on pace for 55 points. Then the Kruger was our coach for a year.

Another update: Anthony Mantha has undergone shoulder surgery and is out "indefinitely" according to the Caps

He might not feel the need to save the team but yeah, Allen has been good, our problems lays in our defence and offense

Found it: The last time two players scored 4 goals each on the same night was March 26, 1996. The two players that did it were Keith Tkachuk (for Winnipeg) and some guy named Mario Lemieux.

When the whole team sucks, except the goalie. Kinda points towards a bad head coach. head coaches don't normally affect the goalie with their play style except for leaving then with a bunch of bad breaks. I'd say if the Habs hadn't made the cup last year they woulda fired their coach soon.

Who's Lemieux? Got lucky one time and scored 4 goals?

Ok, this was nice!

Capitals’ Anthony Mantha Out Indefinitely After Undergoing Shoulder Surgery #ALLCAPS https://t.co/3KwMSotXkX

he got surgery fast

I like to think they just did it in the locker room, with the team huddled around watching

@yikes Did the Sharks make their decision on Eklund yet?

Oh yeah, Ducharme wasn’t great during last years regular season and I’d argue the playoff run saved him, can’t really comment on this year since I don’t really watch the games

Media/ Sharks insiders think he’s staying; Eklund thinks he should stay, Couture says Eklund should stay. But management hasn’t communicated with Eklund or anyone on their decision/ which way they’re leaning. Since SJS are pacific time we could here soon since it’s probably late morning there now.

Per Kurz, Eklund to Sweden

As we get closer to Lapierre hitting the 9 game limit, I'm interested as to what the Capitals decide to do. I doubt they will keep him up, as they can call up someone like a Malenstyn or a Sgarbossa to fill his role, but I don't know if going back to the Q is the smartest play for him. In my opinion, playing in the Q won't help him develop any further, but the Caps don't have a lot of options. Him not being able to play in the AHL really hurts, but I think the Caps best move at the 9 game mark would be to send him to Europe. That way he can play against more experience competition and hopefully further his development. A major hurdle is that I think he would be going in alone with not many (if any) connections there, but if it helps him I'd be willing to do it if I was DC.

The Sharks are assigning William Eklund back to Djurgarden, according to a source.

A little surprised, was consistently one of their most dangerous offensive threats and appeared to be managing the defending side of the puck well for a young player

I mean I had more problems with him during the playoffs than I did during the regular season last year.

I'm disappointed, but if I'm a sharks fan I'm very excited for what he can do in a full season next year.

Thanks homie





Well there’s the word.

I think it’s the best decision. Eklund has shown he can/ will be an elite player but I’m going to sound like a broken record; he adds maybe 10-20 pounds of muscle and just builds some athletic strength (he’s not gonna be Hertl/ Meier big and strong) and he WILL be an elite player.

I think Eklund has the tools to be a version of Barzal (so I’m basically in love). Eklunds key takeaway is that he’s just so sneaky. Like how Burns called him a lizard, he’s just so agile and sly. Eklund; if he takes this as determination to make the NHL full time (which all signs point to him taking this as a positive experience) - he’s gonna be a heck of a player.

Sky is the limit, they have a really great talent there

He definitely looked amazing but had a dozen of times where it was clear that he wasn’t ready. I can admit while giving Eklunds debut games a solid 8/10 overall (just a rough example) that he definitely will gain from being reassigned.

Absolutely, the only worry, and if it is one, would be Djurgardens IF is not a very good team, second last in SEL.
