What doesn't make sense though is they had the perfect player in Brandon Prust and let him walk away.  The Rangers have never been a real threat since.

Wow. I never really realized this before and you're totally right. I remember the days of Gaborik, Callahan, Stephan, Giradri, and Lundqvist bringing the cup back to the big Apple. All of the mentioned players are currently having a bad year as are the Rangers. Gaborik isn't even there anymore. 

Christmas has me feeling nostalgic. What was your favourite series of all time?

Secondly, what was your favourite series of all time, not-including the Philadelphia Flyers?

Barnaby is still the biggest jack ass. 

Agree 110% @hf101

Worst part about that video is that moron Jack Edwards. Playing down Thornton's intent. 

Subban isn't that good. And really... Who trades for cancer anyways??

I think someone's still a little upset over the Norris Trophy

Oh, no! 

Please don't phrase it that way Mo!

LOL

You guys just really don't understand how good he is. Not even trying to sound like a homer here. The Flyers and Habs are NOT GOOD trade partners (at least in a Subban scenario). When I see posts from you guys about the subject I say the same thing, no worries

Actually Montreal doesn't have the right winger to make this a do-able trade for me. 

 

But yeah, we can talk trade wars starting in Jan?  One way to get you posting more....

You heard it here. Trade Wars II starting in January.

Here's what it would take for me to give up P.K to the Flyers.

To Flyers: P.K Subban, Gabriel Dumont

To Habs: Scott Laughton, Samuel Morin, Tye McGinn, Matt Read, a 2nd round pick and a conditonal 1st in the 2015 draft (if P.K resigns with Flyers)

This is what it would take. He's playing incredibly well this season and coming off a Norris Trophy?

Think I'm crazy?

Nope.

He's that good.

Don't like it?

Guess you're not getting him.

Giroux needs a winger who can shield the puck while creating some time and space.  Once that is established his assists and goals will improve. 

 

I'd trade both Schenns for Max Pac and Subban. 

No way Jose... I smell a good edition of trade wars coming soon

Welcome to the board!! Nice to FINALLY have another Habs fan on here!!!!!

I personally love the trade for Parros. We didn't give up much to get him, and will contribute to our successes next season.

Montreal Canadiens prospect Nathan Beaulieu and his father, Ontario Hockey League coach Jacques Beaulieu, are facing assault charges.

Strathroy-Caradoc police say the father and son have each been charged with two counts of assault.

Police say the charges stem from an altercation Saturday at a house party that followed a charity golf tournament.

Two people suffered minor injuries, police say.

A June 11 court date has been set.

Nathan Beaulieu was selected 17th overall by the Canadiens in the 2011 NHL draft.

@hf101 I have no idea. Lol

@Phillygrump.... well, there's the NBA....

Jarome Iginla's tenure with the Calgary Flames has come to an end. The team announced late Wednesday night that it dealt Iginla to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for college prospects Kenneth Agostino and Ben Hanowski as well as Pittsburgh's 2013 first-round draft pick.

You can watch Iginla's news conference in Calgary on TSN and TSN.ca today at 12:30pm et/9:30am pt.

Iginla has scored nine goals and 13 assists in 31 games with the Flames this season.

Holding team records for goals, points and games-played, Iginla's time with the Flames comes to an end in the final year of a five-year deal he signed prior to the 2008-09 season worth an average annual value of $7 million.

The long-serving captain has scored 525 goals and 570 assists in 1219 career games with the Flames. Over Iginla's 15 seasons with the Flames he has won two Maurice “Rocket” Richard trophies as the league's leading goal scorer as well as an Art Ross Trophy, the Lester B. Pearson Award, the Mark Messier Leader of the Year Award and the King Clancy Memorial Trophy.

"We as an organization owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Jarome," said Flames GM Jay Feaster. "Not only for what he did for the franchise during his tenure as a player here and as our captain, but also for the fact that now as we recognize that despite our best efforts, and despite the work we've put in, we've fallen short of the goals we set for ourselves as an organization.

"We respect very, very much the fact that Jarome worked with us to enable this to come about."

He has been named to play in seven NHL All-Star Games, has been named to three NHL First All-Star Teams and one NHL Second All-Star Team on top of winning two Olympic Gold Medals.

He was originally drafted in the first round (11th overall) by the Dallas Stars at the 1995 NHL Entry Draft, The Stars dealt him to Calgary along with Corey Millen in 1995 in exchange for Joe Nieuwendyk.

Agostino, a forward, is in his third year at Yale. The 20-year-old, Pittsburgh's fifth-round pick in 2010, had 15 goals and 37 points in 33 games.

The 22-year-old Hanowski is in his fourth year with St. Cloud State. The forward, drafted in the third-round by Pittsburgh in 2009, had 16 goals and 29 points in 34 games.

"In these two players we've gotten two players we believe are going to play in the National Hockey League and are going to contribute and will play for us for a long time," Feaster said.

Both players are currently in the NCAA playoffs with their teams.

@flyercanuck Exactly the reason why... don't think he's as talented as Ekblad, but for sure still a very talented player

@AlaskaFlyerFan God damn it AFF! LOL

cool!

@habsguy26 I could not even imagine the out of this world expectations for a young player growing up and playing in the Province of Quebec with the last name Gefferion. Tons and tons of pressure.

he's actually born and raised in Tennessee! Lol but I see what you mean. He had high expectations and it's a bummer he won't be able to show us what he's made of as a fully developed player.

Blake Geoffrion has informed the Montreal Canadiens that he is considering retirement from professional hockey following an injury that he suffered last November.

Geoffrion suffered a depressed skull fracture after taking a hit from Syracuse Crunch defenceman Jean-Philippe Cote during an AHL game at Montreal's Bell Centre in November.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Canadiens said Geoffrion notified general manager Marc Bergevin that his condition has shown no significant improvement since he underwent surgery on Nov. 10, the day after the incident.

The team also said that there will be no further comment on the situation until further notice.

Grandson of Bernie "Boom Boom" Geoffrion and son of Dan Geoffrion, the 25-year-old was the 2010 Hobey Baker winner as the top U.S. collegiate player. He recorded 28 goals and 22 assists through 40 games with the University of Wisconsin in his final year at school.

Geoffrion was a second round selection of the Nashville Predators, 56th overall, at the 2006 NHL Entry Draft before being traded to the Canadiens in exchange for Hal Gill on Feb. 25, 2012.

He has four goals and two assists through 10 games this season with the Bulldogs, and has registered eight goals and five assists with a plus-3 rating in 55 career NHL games.

sad news.... he had a ton of potential. i'm sure the habs have a job lined up for him though.

Whitney has lost the trust of his coaching staff, as he's been a healthy scratch seven times this season. He definitely trade bait for the Oilers.

Montreal has a fountain of defenceman, and maybe it would be better to go after a forward, but Ryan Whitney is only 30 years old and that is when defencemen truly hit stride. Here's what it could take to get him.

Montreal acquires -

Ryan Whitney

Edmonton acquires -

Yannick Weber, 2014 4th round pick

What do you guys think?

P.S if you're gonna watch the video, I recommend turning it to mute.. unless you're a fan of soft-romance rock.
