- nilan : D'Agostini looked like an NHLer saturday night. Thats more than I can say for the last 2 seasons of latendresse. For what its worth, I think its too soon to talk trades- this is a WAY talented team, but only have a handful of guys playing with heart. Oh, and I like Komisarek on the ice better than behind the bench!
- Habs Blog : flu kicked my ass
- Mats Naslund : *the pros. These players just need to step it up. They did it last year.
- Mats Naslund : I would agree that having Markov as the point shot on the PP has been a failure. He is much more effective as a set up man. The Habs could absolutely use the Souray and Streit type shot on the point (but they couldn't afford to keep those guys). It would be nice if someone from within could fill that spot, be it Tanguay, Lang or Andrei Kostitsyn or whoever. Sergei played that spot on the PP with Kane and Gagner in Junior and lit it up. I'm not sure if he has the velocity to make it happen in t
- habs#1fan : All I was saying is that I myself believe we need those players (the centerman and the D-man) to help us now. I'm no expert by no means, am I wrong? Quite possibly. But that D-man would help our struggling PP. This team is deep in prospects which would make a deal easier to do. But yeah given the team's record so far maybe status quo would be best. GO HABS GO
- Mats Naslund : I think this would be a terrible time to make a trade. We need to see these players handle this adversity. To get value you need to trade value, and right now its a buyers market in Montreal. If there are team needs closer to the playoffs then Gainey will have to make a move, but don't sell the farm in desperation.
- habs#1fan : I know everyone is sick of hearing this including myself, however I do think the time to make a deal would be now. I don't know who is on the block but we still need another center and a PP D-man with a big shot. We have got a lot of good prospects, Max Pac, Chipchura, Maxwell, White, D'Agostini not to mention the junior and college players.
- Senet1 : Well I understand your thinking groundworking, I guess I just choose to look at this team as a team that will build to the playoffs. I do not necessarily see us finishing first in the division but Carbo has to prepare them for the PO. I just hope that I am right!
- groundworking : I hope you're right, Senet, and positive attitudes never hurt. I guess my problem is that I don't see the rough stretch in the win/loss column as the main concern, but also the lack of effort in many of the games that they won early--squeaking out wins against lesser opponents, often in shootouts, and without much help from the PP. The killer instinct and the "something to prove" edge that they had last year just hasn't seemed to be there, with two exceptions: a pre-season against Detroit
- PACTUM SERVA : Dave morissette looks like a monkey lol.
- Senet1 : With due respect groundworking, I think you are jumping the gun. If we are going to panic everytime our team has a bad stretch then we might as well pack it in. This team is better than last years team on paper, they are just struggling right now. Let's stay positive. After a bad performance last night this is a game that the players may have started to doubt themselves. A win is a win and we always have had trouble with Buffalo.
- groundworking : I hate to be negative, but I broke down, watched the game, and I'm still panicked, lol--Buffalo is a weak team, they were 3-6-3 in their last ten, and this was a hard fought game by the Habs, at home, after a bad outing the night before...oh, and S. Kostitsyn took two selfish penalties...and the PP didn't score on a 5-3 for two mins. Sorry to be so negative. I just think they don't have it this year
- Senet1 : If Carbo has lost the dressing room then these guys do not deserve to be in the NHL, he coaches the way he plays and he would not ask anyone to do something that he would not do. The players better get over it. Maybe based on tonight they are starting to get the point??
- Mats Naslund : MUCH better 2nd period tonight. Almost looks like the Canadiens we've been looking for for a month. Great goal by Markov from Koivu. We should always play 4 on 4.
- PACTUM SERVA : GO HABS GO
- groundworking : I expect a decent effort tonight, and then I expect them to choke the next game and possibly the game after that. Someone suggested that Carbo's lost the dressing room. That's a good point. Hard to say. Something's wrong, though. I plan NOT to watch the game, as I've just been getting frustrated this year with their play (unlike the last two years).
- habs#1fan : Carbo demotes the Kostitsyns to the fourth line but yet he leaves Latalentless (to quote Mr Pactum lol) on the second line? Now cmon Guy, I know he's got the same name as you and all but he hasn't done squat to be on the second line. Did that guy even play last night? Then again who really did? Glad to see D'Agostini play maybe bring some energy and fight
- flyinghab : I don't even want to talk about tonite's game ... it can be also be ugly in front of the home crowd. Carbo is becoming a broken record with his speeches now. Has he lost the dressing room ?
- flyinghab : Last year was an extremely lucky year. No injuries, kovy on good year ( 1 outta 4 ), therefore the habs were a bunch of overachievers. This year reality has struck. If we could buy some "heart" Gainey should invest.
- flyinghab : Wow... after watching part of this horrid game, I'm thinking with this team we'll be fortunate to even make the playoffs this year. So sad. Get Bob on the line please.
- PACTUM SERVA : No effort no heart no balls. This team is like watching paint dry. Gutless effort. Maybe their tampons were bothering them tonight.
- Mats Naslund : wow terrible game. i'm not mad right now, i think i'm just revolted. they did nothing for 60 minutes. uninspired, uncoordinated, and unproductive. i didn't even like how carbo coached the game. totally disgusting night.
- VanHab : later
- groundworking : lol agreed -- ill talk to you later
- VanHab : certainly makes for a better Friday night than watching the rest of this horrible game
- groundworking : They've had worse teams, but none that worked less than these guys
- groundworking : I've followed the Habs religiously since 1985, this is the slackest team that they've had since then
- VanHab : lol groundworking
- VanHab : a change has to come and soon
- groundworking : I've stopped watching the game--I posted here to rant and now I'm going to do something I enjoy more, like shovel dog crap off my back lawn
- VanHab : I can't believe we're being shutout by Theodore
- groundworking : Even October when we were winning, the team was just barely squeaking by against some really bad teams
- groundworking : pathetic
- groundworking : no digging for the puck
- VanHab : not the way we've been playing the whole month of November

LOL PRICELESS HABS BLOG PRICELESS LOL

Originally posted on “Saturday Night’s Alright”.
Tucker’s hit on Bouillon was cheap. He ran him when he was on his knees 3 feet from the boards. Bouillon’s hit on Wellwood was a clean hard take out along the boards - trademark Bouillon. Sucker punch my ***. Tucker was pushing and swinging at Bouillon by this time - just because Bouillon feeds Tucker his right fist for dinner does not make it a sucker punch. They were face to face and Tucker got knocked down … period … poor Darcy. Then again, maybe he wasn’t knocked down … maybe he tripped over the bad ice intentionally placed there before the 1st period by the zamboni driver :-).

Reasons why the habs are more classy following the Boullion/Tucker incident:
1. Boullion had a beautiful, clean hit on wellwood.
2. Tucker’s hit was dirty and cowardly
3. Tucker first refused to go with a shorter Boullion (guess he realized he was not Eaves)
4. AS boullion moves away that is when Tucker starts throwing punches hoping the refs would then break it up
5. Boullion gets last laugh and pelts the pesty nutcase.
6. Tucker then begins his routine spitting and pouting about who knows what.
7. Tucker refuses to go anywhere near Boullion for the remainder of the game and Frankie continues his bonecruching hits.
8. Jeff O’neil after the game whinnes like a 8 year old about Boullion starting it but refuses to mention that tucker almost broke Francis’ neck with a careless hit.
9. Paul Maurice complains about the zamboni.
10. Sundin still has baked bean teeth.

HABS SEARCHING FOR CENTER

Even as an Englishman i found that hilarious.
Never was so much owed by so many to so few.
God bless the Habs.

Classic video. My thoughts exactly
December 3, 2006 pm31 6:40 pm
Ah, sometimes the best comedy is the truth. And so it appears that Gainey is actively shopping for a #2 centre and trying to get rid of Ninny. But as usual there is a but, they all want Souray. It would take a star centre to pry Souray out of MTL. And one of the Russians would have to go two to make room. And I think Plekanec would make a better winger then centre with his shot.
Who would it take for Gainey to trade Souray? Can he trade one of the Russians in a package? What about Ninnamaa. There’s a lot of questions.
And in some of the articles they were saying that Markov, who’s the team’s best defenceman, wants a raise(duh, he’s earned one), but Rivet to? Are you kidding me? Rivet should take a pay cut not a raise.
It’s time to sit back and watch what kind of magic Gainey can weave. And if we’ve learned something during his tenure it’s that a big trade could come out of left field and smack us in the face cause we don’t see it coming(ex:Theo, Kovalev).

And how about the Habs current and future goaltending situation. Huet is one of the top goaltenders in the league right now, Aebischer is a pretty darn good backup, and the guy everyone got ecxited about Danis isn’t even starting anymore in Hamilton beacause of Jaroslav Halak. The guy went 7-1 with a league-best 0.82 goals against average, a .972 save percentage, four shutouts, and allowed just six goals on 214 shots in November. He’s only 21 and he keeps getting better. Then you’ve got Price still in Junior who may be the best goalie in junior hockey!(And before anyone says Leland Irving is better, Irving plays on a stacked Everret team while Price plays on a mediocre Tri-City team.)
Just more prove that the Habs know goaltending better then anyone else.

I watched last night after the game,(on Bell express vu), leafs tv, just to see what the commentators(whiners), and players were saying. They said canadiens 1st goal wasn’t an even strength goal, because 2 leaf players collided, and fell back at their own blue line, and that provided habs with a 5 on 3 opportunity. they also said that leafs aren’t able to put teams away when they’re leading. They said leafs played for 50 minutes and deserved to win the game. It’s nice to watch that show after a leafs loss.
does anyone know the status of Rivet? Guys,let’s keep Souray, Markov and Bouillon. as far as the other D men, who knows? I did like that comical video, but hope ontarians on this blog don’t get offended.I’d like to savor the victory, because it doesn’t get any better than that. Besides, we all thought, after it was 3-1, we were toast!It shoes, you never know, and never give up. Hey, Washington beat the **** out of Buffalo. Is Buffalo starting to lose a few? look out for Ottawa, they’re coming up fast. I do believe, that by the end of the season they will overtake the habs. they’re just too strong offensively, and have too many weapons. If we can secure more offence, via a trade, we could make a run at it.
December 3, 2006 pm31 10:08 pm
fanatic, it’s not that simple to say ‘oh let’s keep these guys’(and Bouillon has a three year contract anyway). What are you going to do, hold guns to Souray and Markov’s heads and tell them to re-sign? It dosen’t work that way. They hold the cards in this situation and they decide what to do. Gainey can’t pull a Metalurg on Malkin and pressure them to stay.

Habs 1: I agree with your thoughts on Sammy I was just poking fun that you had a new target, no harm. ALso I have heard many rumours that RIvet is looking for a raise as well. Apparantly Craig’s agent believes he has earned it with the time he has put in this franchise, however with a cap limit dedication does not earn a raise let alone a similar contract to what he has now. 2 million tops I say. Craig is reportingly looking for a 3-4 year deal in the range of 4-4.5 millino a season. Apparently his agent thinks he will easily get this in freee agency. ALthough De men are overpaid in the free agent market (Aaron ward) I cant see him getting this from anyone except Wang. WIth rivet injured I think everyone will find out just how important or hazardous he is to our team. Although you dont want anyone to get hurt this experience will go a long way for Gainey to determine his action plan this summer.
As for trading SOuray with his high value I say Gainey is shotting for the stars. HE does not want to trade him but IM sure he is entertaining offers but will settle for nothing less then a center and d man in return. Which is a high price to ask but Gainey knws his importance.

Marleau is the guy we need.
