What a season for weird accidents in the NHL. First Hughes, then Luostarinen and now Toropchenko suffers burns at home.

One of the best performances of the season for the Canadiens. They’re 6 games over NHL 500 and in a playoff spot after a win in Vegas.
Here’s the uplifting Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal.

Quelques notes à propos du nouveau contrat de Matheson :
1. Les négociations avaient été suspendues en septembre pour finaliser les négociations avec Lane Hutson et explorer d’autres dossiers, mais elles ont redémarré à la fin octobre.

J'ai essayé de trouver des défenseurs dans la trentaine dont le jeu repose beaucoup sur leurs coup de patin. Voici quelques uns.
Letang, 38 ans, 21 minutes par match
Spurgeon, 36 ans, 22 minutes par match
Josi, 35 ans, 21 minutes par match
Carlson, 35 ans, 23 minutes par match

Tried to look at some defencemen in their mid-30's whose game is based mostly on their skating ability, like Matheson, and there are few still playing a lot minutes.

I think championship winnings teams generally start with a good D corps. A future for Montreal with Matheson/Dobson/Hutson/Guhle/Reinbacher and 2 of Engstrom-Struble-Xhekaj is a good mix of quality and depth to me.
Now to address need of more offensive pop and physicality

Je crois qu'il serait pertinent de connaitre les termes du contrat de Mike Matheson avant d'en venir à une conclusion.
On est pas obligé d'avoir une opinion tout de suite.

How about we wait to find out the terms of Mike Matheson's contract to get the full picture? There is no need to decide now what we think of it.

Once i was convinced that the Habs were not going to claim Sammy Blais, I knew he his fate was sealed and he was coming back home. 😅 #terribleinstincts
It’s too bad that they have a zero chance of announcing a Crosby trade. :)

Adam Engstrom has been called up by the Montreal Canadiens for their Western road trip. Not impossible that he plays but my sense is that with Laval only playing next Saturday, this was at the very least a reward for his hard work and development.
