I’d say bad, because the chemistry of the team is so good that we don’t need this right now, but then again maybe it will fix some things between the two so they can work better from now on.

I guess we will see the consequences of this vs the Devils

If Aebishcer starts, I hope he can earn another outing and increase his value. I don’t see him part of the Habs’ future (of coarse, limiting injuries)

Fights between teammates aren’t always a bad thing. It just goes to show that the competition and fire on the team is strong. It’s not like it’s frustration with the spot they’re in right now.

And it’s good to see Cristo get the night off on Wednsday, although it was a necessity with the back-to-back games.He needed a rest. But the Habs are going to need BOTH goalies to be on top of their games this month cause December is the hardest stretch of their scheduale(Devils, Islanders(who saw them coming?), Sabres twice, Boston twice more including next tuesday, Tampa Bay(still can be dangerous on some nights), Pittsburgh(if Malkin AND Crosby are going and Fleury has a good game look out), but the end of the month is kind of a relief with Washigton, Florida and Tampa again(although those games are back to back and we all saw what happened to them in the second game of the two night stand).

Cristobal just can’t play night in and night out while facing forty shots a night and win every time. So this brings me back to the trap proposition. During a period in which they’re being outplayed, while it may be boring, why not slow them down by playing a trap or rope-a-dope style hockey?

I think it is a good thing. Begin has not fought in a while so maybe he wanted the practice. It happens more than people think. Downeys interview was great!!!!

If it’s as simple as a little funk, then I too am for give it a little time. But if you notice these losses are going to affect their current status. These same guys not being productive is not acceptable…they’re pros and being paid substantially. You seem to think that if they continue their indifferent attitude that it’s acceptable. Well, the reality is that the games that should be put to bed are not ending up as wins…that means that potentially games that they are winning (against stronger teams may not happen and as a result you end up with a losing string). That’s what we learned last year. So, giving it time - doesn’t necessarily fit the picture. What do you do when the time slipped and they’re at 500, (give you a call to get more insight)…rather do the trade now and bring in the right chemistry (with production to boot). My 2 cents. Go Habs Go!

It’s bad enough you have Souray knocking his own goalie over every game it seems, or giving the puck away in what looks like an on the purpose pass to the other team…Streit and Ninny are bad for that too, what does the defensive practice do, practice giving the puck away and knocking over your own goalie?

What’s the word on Higgins? I heard that he may be back early. Let us hope…

Hey Josh:

SOuray this, Souray that?

How about SOuray scores, Souray hits, SOuray sticks up for teammates, Habs win!

If you lads ever played the game at a serious level you’d realize that this stuff happens in practices. Heck, it even happens in pratices at the not so serious level. It is a good thing! It shows that there is emotion and a competitive spirit in the practices. This is a winners trait!

Habs

Its true, Gainey has Souray practicing knocking over Abby, and practicing giving away the puck….its what the scouts are looking for isn’t it? Apart from the game wining slapshots of course.
