Not sure when he's playing again, but watch the Habs and look for David Savard.

He's easy to spot. You ever see a guy use pallets as snowshoes to get through sand while carrying a fridge on his back ?

No ? Well, you pretty much will once you see Savard skate..


It was funny watch the world juniors coach use this scrub on the PP over Caufield and having the resident HF hater on Caufield say it was worth while

Wahlstrom sucks and will be out of the league soon.

He wasn't good in the NCAA, wasn't good in the A, wasn't good at the U-20s and isn't good in the NHL.

Good for him to make it this far despite all that.

Now that I've dunked on him watch the Habs pick him up.

David Savard doesn’t need to be fast though, he’s a big, physical, stay at home shutdown D. Oliver Wahlstrom is supposed to be a scorer but he can’t skate enough to get in a position to score and he’s too soft to adopt a bottom 6 role.

He doesn’t have hockey sense.

I remember Wahlstrom had great year for US team.

Could Wahlstrom become a Tolvanen type situation?
