Meanwhile there is no replacing Markov. So it comes down to team unity and players stepping up and taking advantage of an opportunity. If Price can hold the fort then this team will be ok. If he provides Toskala-like goaltending we are doomed.

Hopefully Gustavsson makes the necessary ascension. Although, that should be a given considering how awful Toskala's been.

I know the season just started but that would be like us losing Kaberle, like Montreal we're a bubble team and cannot afford to lose those players. Good thing for us that we actually have depth, Gainey's defensive core is crap. Hal Gill...nuff' said.

After 2 games... Gill or Beauchemin= same ****

3-4 Months is brutal. It could be even longer considering the severity of it. I feel bad for Montreal... I mean, they may be division rivals, but I'd rather they suffer simply due to talent not because a player had to get hurt.

I'm not a big Don Cherry fan, but he made a good point last night about the taping of the flap part on the front of the skates. Players should be doing whatever it takes to protect themselves. It's their livlihood afterall.

I'll give you Beauchemin and Schenn, but Komi is an even +\- and has 7 hits and 8 blocked shots in 2 games... not too shabby for how over zealous he's been.
