yes our beloved Habs are out , but there's a lot to look forward to , already the young guns have met with the Hab trainers and have been handed their training regimens ..............  the draft is a short two months away and it is always interesting to speculate on who the habs will pick ....

                              as noted there is already speculation on who will stay and who if any rookies will crack the lineup ....I probably watch the rookies and prospects as much if not more than the team itself ......I have seen Carey Price play twice this year and was very impressed , also saw Chipchura a couple of times and was fortunate enough to catch the Dogs in Winnipeg ..and think Maxim Lapierre will surprise a lot of people ....believe it when I tell you this guy is a better version of Begin ........our CHL prospects ( Latendresse ,Kositsyn , D'Agostini & Aubin ) have all had better than expected years ..........

                               so it did indeed rain yesterday however there's a lot of sunshine in the forecast
