OK, I was getting a little impatient and understand that saves will likely not be capatible with FHM4 when it comes out so I don't necessarily want to get that immersed and start over when the FMH4 is released. So we are going to speed things up.

The Canadiens have improved considerably offensively. From having difficulty scoring, to scoring more then any other team in the NHL. This is also true of the Power Play. This improvement without impacting the defensive side of the puck, has the Canadiens 1st overall in the NHL.

December 20th, 1984 Montreal Canadiens Stats

Goalies	Age	Wins	Losses	T/OL	SO	GAA	SV%
Nestor, Wilf	30	29	5	0	5	1.78	0.918
Zadina, Tomas	22	3	3	0	1	2.33	0.907

Wilf Nestor struggled to start the season, but the last 20 games or so he has been great. He has a career low for GAA so far and is pretty much matching his career average for a .917 save % in 311 career NHL games.

Defenseman	Age	GP	Goals	Assists	Points	PIMs	+/-
Svec, Jakub	21	40	1	22	23	6	18

Duclos, Tyler	23	27	4	6	10	55	14
Badura, Tomas	23	21	1	5	6	8	3

Normally I would consider bring up some guys on defense to see how they would fit, but the 7 guys we currently have despite a couple of injuries are doing real well. Less and less reliance on Jonathan Harper and more responsibility placed on the young guys like Jakub Svec, Joey Lachance and Zack Davey.

The Canadiens called up Petr Sucharda to replace the injured LW Kevin Forfar. Forfar is expected to miss up to 2 months with mononucleosis. No one expected to have Riley Callander competing for the points leader, but he his. Callander is coming off a 52 point season, his lowest of the 1st four seasons and without injury should easily exceed his career high of 70 points. Montreal has demoted RW Andrew Walsh, they have promoted 23 year old RW Darren Shattock. He has 15 goals and 23 points with 16 PIMs in 30 games in the AHL.

Montreal wasn't as strong the last 20 games or so and slipped in goals per game and slightly in goals against as well. The goal scoring could be somewhat attributed to LW Kevin Forfars injury missing nearly 2 months. Montreal goes into the final playoff drive, but most importantly want to stay healthy for the final 20 games,

Riley Callander is on pace for a 90 point season, his previous high was 70 points with 38 goals in 1982-83. There is a good chance that we will have 7 forwards with over 40 points this season. The Habs are happy with this group.
