Desharnais is probably not too bad considering Habs retain a portion of his salary & cap space

I'm not too familiar with the Habs but was Desharnais really that bad?

He was ludicrously overused, seems to struggle at the NHL level when he's not with Pachioretty and - this is the reason why he's really bad - him being literally the only francophone on the Habs for a couple years there made him l'antichambres main pet. I think they finally got over him last year after Danault arrived.

Desharnais is bad at:
- Faceoffs
- Puck battles on open ice
- Puck battles in the corners
- Defense
- Physicality

He is good at:
- Shootouts

He is meh at:
- Everything else

Went to the Sabres vs Preds game, had a good time.

Sabres blew their lead in the final moments of the third period then couldn't capitalize on a PP in OT and lost!! :smith:

Alternate version: Preds overcame a slow start and erased a two-goal deficit twice to beat the Sabres in OT. Forsberg had the tying goal and the game winner. Rinne was amazing in the OT penalty kill. :unsmith:

I love that, having watched a lifetime of NASCAR, I am not at all surprised nor phased, and slightly entertained, by someone walking toward someone they want to kill after an event finishes. I said "Yeah, get 'em Torts" out loud.

I'm only gonna be pissed about maybe not getting that point if it messes with the seeding after 82.

Torts took the high road in his post-game interview when asked about the penalty. "It was a hard-fought point." and "Don't try to work me into what went on. We played a hard-fought game and...don't try to bait me into anything else."

At the very least, I'm glad to be 2-0-1 coming out of the bye with Minnesota to come.

I'm more than happy with wins over the Rags, New Islanders, and an OTL over Montreal which very well could've been a regulation loss coming off the bye.

So you think Miller gets a call about this? Bonus points for the announcers defending the hit where the principle point of contact was very clearly the head.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw4Rgdoe-JI

e: I guess you could make the argument that it's a clean hit because the principle point of contact was the shoulder and he rode up into the head, which is probably what'll be said and no discipline will follow.
