Andrei Kostitsyn needs to get off to a hot start. Even in a meaningless game. Ok, an all but meaningless game.

Who's going to win important face offs this season? Thomas Plekanic was 6-20 in the circle vs Dallas. Andreas Engqvist 0-5. Confident that Scott Gomez, Lars Eller or David Desharnais can win more than 50%? This has to be addressed, not simply worked on.

Ian Schultz can fight. He needs to get the rest of his game going in Hamilton. Then recalled when Habs play Bruins, Flyers,etc.

Rafael Diaz or Jeff Woywitka on the second power play unit might have Montreal fans longing for Roman Hamrlik.

Brock Trotter looked fantastic - for 20 minutes. Then I couldn't find him.

Aaron Palushaj can skate like Tom Pyatt. If Palushaj plays 61 games this season would he score more than two goals?

Was I actually looking for a Winnipeg Jets score?

Mike Ribeiro should always manage a multi-point game against his former team. Who's the big center who can shut him down?

Too bad Travis Moen wasn't in the line up for the Habs. Would liked to have heard John Bartlett describe

Travis Moen checking Travis Morin.

Hearing Montreal Canadiens hockey on The Team 990 was pretty cool. even for an all but meaningless game.
