IIHF's article on Tim Bozon

Tim Bozon is currently playing with the French National Team in the World Championship In Sweden/Finland. In 3 games so far he has 1 assist, and is -3 with no shots on goal. He is playing on the fourth line, averaging 8:40 TOI per game. Last winter, Bozon declined to join the French Team for the World Junior, feeling it would be better for his developpement to stay in Kamloops.

France has lost against Slovakia 6-2 to open the tournament, and then scored a huge victory against Vanek's Austria 3-1, which shall go a long way to help France staying in the elite group. They lost a hard fought battle against Finland 3-1 in their 3rd match today.

Lars Eller up for TSN's Play of the Year

Lars Eller up for TSN's Play of the Year

For the next 14 hours, Lars Eller's goal against the Buffalo Sabres is up for consideration at TSN as the Play of the Year for the 2013 regular season. Eller teamed up with Alex Galchenyuk to cut through the Buffalo Sabres admittedly questionable defence, and put a pretty goal past Ryan Miller.

His competition is Joffrey Lupul, who seems to have already pulled ahead significantly with about a 70% share of the vote. Lupul's claim to fame in this case is making Joe Corvo look like he isn't good at playing defence in the NHL.

If that's all it takes to be considered for Play of the Year, we're going to have a lot of plays to watch.

Support Lars while there's still time!

Desharnais is part of 'the core'

Desharnais is part of 'the core'

Like it or not, Desharnais now has to be considered part of the Canadiens' core going forward. Personally, I like it: Desharnais shouldn't have had the success that he has; he has always beat the odds. so consistently that you have to think he'll keep doing it. Here's hoping.
