Uhm, what I've ready everywhere is that he hurt his knee. I assumed it to be true. We'll see anyway.
Yeah, that's what they released it as post-game. I watched the game though. Markov was grimacing and favouring his left shoulder when he tossed the gloves off, not his knee. Not saying he didn't tweak his knee there (obviously it needs some work), but if they release it as an "upper body injury", that's something the opposition can legally target in on with hits/contact. Not too much you can legally do to target a "lower body injury", and we all know coaches/management play these games with injury details, especially in the playoffs.

Ryan White 47GP 3-5-8
Mathieu Darche 35GP 4-3-7
I can see White and Darche spliting time a lot. I figure Pacioretty, Palushaj, Maxwell, Desharnais and Engqvist might see some time with injuries, but you never know for how many games. So it's hard to do stats.

Realistically, the habs have been on a roller coaster for the past 15 years.
Since last year was not so good and ended well. Since we have a similar core and that that core is no made up with Czerkawski and Latendresse and otehr non caracter players.
I believe that we're due for a very good year.

Boyd being good.
Pouliot stinking up the joint, but Latendresse coming down to earth, so no biggie.
Price plays well. Well enough so that we don't look consistently in St-Louis. He is not "stellar", but is more steady.
Boyd's career high is 22 points in 71 games (25 in 82)
Pouliot would have finished with 50 on the pace we was at after the trade.
Very interesting prediction
I stick with it because I think Boyd will end up playing with Gomez and Gionta and if you take it this way Pouliot career high was 11 points before playing with the Gio,Gomez combo.
good job alex
