When it rains it pours... Jesus Price.

Fantrax is some shit, man.

Condon gave up three goals on 31 shots in a 4-2 loss to the visiting Sabres on Wednesday. The fourth was an empty-netter.
Analysis: The All-Star break was anything but helpful for Condon, who's dropped both games since play resumed. He's allowed six goals in the process, dropping his GAA to 2.48 and save percentage to .905 in 35 appearances this season. With just one win in his last seven starts, Condon has failed to step up in the absence of Carey Price (lower body), and is a big reason why the Habs currently sit six points back of a playoff spot.

Calling Condon a big reason why the Habs suck is a bit of a stretch. The Habs have always sucked, they just had Price back there to keep them in games. Having Condon in there just exposed them for the team they really are. Management deserves a far bigger portion of the blame for not acknowledging the extent of Price's injury and making a corresponding move. Instead, they chose to go with a 25 year old with with exactly 0 NHL GP before this year.

At this point, neither Condon nor Scrivens should be seen as a viable alternative outside of trying to get a better pick. Shit, give Fucale a couple games. It's not like he could do much worse.

adding to the noise of the new layout sucking on nhl.com, especially mobile. it wouldn't be as bad if you could easily switch game box scores.. but no, 5 buttons for each games box score.

Yannick Weber to be put on waivers at noon.

[CAM]

Man, are these waivers ever increasing the value of actual NHL games played in our league. Guys guaranteed 4th line minutes shouldnt be going for 4th and 5th rounders anymore...

All of the players who have been waived this year or who have not been offered contracts who only 1 or 2 seasons ago would be going for high value.

GP is harder to come by this year an any I've ever experienced. Bottom pairing dmen & bottom 3 forwards are basically on AHL rotation.

Time to re discuss bbkl gp limit to something lower

Thankfully it is much more reasonable already; 770 the lowest here (much more evenly distributed) and with playoffs accumulating GP there's not a ton of risk of anyone missing unless it's intentional -> unless I'm missing something.
