Scrivy

 So Kassian for Scrivens. Why does this happen? I don't know. And I am not about to stand here and say "I know more rabble rabble rabble".  Here's the facts courtesy of the NHL Stats;

  • Ben Scrivens 
    • AGE : 29
    • HT: 6'2"
    • WT: 181 LBS
    • CATCHES: LEFT
    • LAST 10 NHL GAME : N/A
    • LAST 10 AHL GAMES :  2-6-1
    • GAA: 3.47
    • SV%: .893
  So what does this mean? Sure Scrivy has 129 NHL games under his belt, but his career record is 42-56-17, which really translates to 42-73.  But the question is what does this trade mean?
Instead of dealing a D-man like Emelin, we deal Kassian, And get Scrivens, allow me to brake this down even more courtesy of General Fanager, the Oilers retained 21% of Scrivy's sallery, 21% of $2,300,000 is $552,000, leaving the Habs $1,748,000 to pay him. Then, dropping Tokarski down to St. John, they Habs took a $400K hit on the Cap.
 There is more trade rumors out right now, Such as Simmonds will be traded for some players, how much is true? I dont know, all I do know is this, Habs won tonight, snapping this downward spiral.
Scrivy will get his start tomorrow, against the now #1 Florida Panthers in the Atlantic. So only time and tomorrow will tell.

HAB'S WIN 2-1 against the Blue Jackets. What a game that was, Let's start with what we know. Condon was solid the whole game, he never once let the Jackets get in his head, and with a .957 SV% for this game, it shows that he was solid as ever. So during the day I found out courtesy of the RDS app for my phone, that Pateryn was out, and Emelin was in. Which wasn't a smart move on Michel Therrien's part, who coached his 700th game of his career. Because at 17:57 of the First, Emelin received a game major misconduct, and was ejected for the rest of the game. So yeah, Hab's are on the PK.
But remember I said the Hab's won so let's talk about points. Paul Byron was the first to score at the 2:51 mark of the first. With assistance from Christian Thomas and Nathan Beaulieu. Then at the 17:23 mark, CBJ scored their lone point, off the stick of Foligno. Any way, it became a game of possesion during the 2nd, and no one scored, So then at 17:51 of the 3rd, The Captian, Max "Wolverine" Pacioretty scores the game winning goal. Then the 3 stars were announced, which to be honest, I believe that the 3rd should have gone to Condon, but hey just my opinion. The Hab's won 2 of the 3 stars, 2nd Star went to Paul Byron and the 1st star went to Max Pacioretty.
So where does this win put Les Boys? The Hab's are 19-4-3 with 41 points, placing them still at the top of the league, The Hab's play this week The Caps on Thursday, they travel to Carolina on Saturday and on Wednesday go to boston, to play them before the Winter Classic.

We'll CARY on

Ya know something, I now know how Steve Dangle feels, I literally just got this update on my phone and the second I saw Pricer was out, all I could do was just sit there in disbelief. Now don't get me wrong, Condon is good, but don't get me wrong, Pricer is the best Goalie in the league. But here is my main concern with Condon, Its rest. As of right now, 6 weeks means 18 games, 8 back to back games. Can Condon have plenty of time to recover after the games. Anyway we shall find out, and one thing, we have a great Goalie duo.
