So glad Eller finally potted one. Horrible giveaway, and he still takes too long to make decisions when he gets the puck, but hopefully this goal will inspire him to finish better.
Tomas "Gangsta" Plekanec just played his two best games of the season against the Bruins. Both offensively and defensively, he was at his signature best.
Third game in a row that DD is over .500 on faceoffs. Not much argument to defend Gomez anymore. DD is producing, even Eller is starting to produce and they are not a playmaker/passer only, they actually know how to score. Finally we have scoring depth in center.
that's the key IMO (as well as the acquisition of Nokelainen), we didnt have any choice but to keep Gomez at the beginning of the season as 2 of the 4 C we had were barely over 30% on faceoffs...

Eller should had a hat trick tonight but I don't care he progress fast and he will be a beast soon enough
Amazing team effort, this team is headed in the right direction while most of us were seriously doubting..
Nokelainen is a HUGE upgrade over Engqvist, night and day.. Best fourth line center we had in a while, plays his role perfectly.. Another great move from Gauthier... Some of you will have to Gauthier some credit at some point, he is making an amazing job with this team.. He gambled with that young blueline but its shaping up and it will pay at the end, the experience those kids are gaining is priceless..

I really love how Gauthier always gets trashed for making these types of trades, like Moore or Nokelainen, and after a few games fans realize it was a great addition to the club. At the end of the year, they'll still give little credit to him, instead they will criticize him for not re-signing the players.
Great game all around by the Habs. They have been more aggressive in the last three games and the results have come.
I think it may be time to place Gomez on the wing. DD and Eller have been playing some good hockey of late and look like they will improve as the season progresses.
It always feel great to be the Bs. what makes this win better is that we have given them their seventh loss of the season, a stat they did not reach until the end of November in 10-11.

He's also considerably young so he might be around for a while..
