I had a look at Bryce Pickford's game on Nov. 7 vs. EDM, where he picked up 1g 1a in 28 minutes of action. Here is my scouting report and where I slot him on Montreal's RD depth chart. (For HabsCast Patreon members):

One rookie center in the past 15 years has scored more than 28 goals. A long way to go, but Kapanen is on pace for 33. Great start for him.

How does Utah only have one official shot? They scored on a rebound. Is that not two shots by itself? Asking for Monty's save percentage.

My earliest memory of the Habs was watching the playoffs in 1965 with my dad. I remember having to go to bed after 2 periods and waking up to learn they'd won the Cup. I was 5 years old. I remember Charlie Hodge, Claude Provost, Jean Beliveau, and, of course, John Ferguson, from this time.

Danny and he were great. I am older than you and loved Gallivan’s ply-by-play. I felt more about his passing than I have about the players, I suppose because he came right into my house, starting with my bedroom when I was in bed on a Saturday night, supposedly to rest for church the next morning.

I’ve only seen highlights, but Grant has watched all his games and said he’s improved every game. Pretty amazing what he’s doing at 18 against men.
