Habs in Philly
-
The Canadiens left the pressure cooker that is Montreal right now and hit the road to play the Flyers in Philly.
Dropping 6 in a row at home this should have the Habs breathing a little easier.
Michael Ryder sits again and Sergei Kostitsyn starts his first career NHL game. Hopefully he can provide a spark to an offense that is lacking in just about every department. Pretty lofty expectations for a first ever NHL game. He will play along side Koivu and Higgins and
perhaps enthuse Saku who is paying with little or no interest at all.If the Habs lose again I heard Bob Gainey is calling up Raphael.

- PACTUM SERVA : our boy PK is looking good though
- PACTUM SERVA : How hickey was drafted so high is beyond me
- PACTUM SERVA : Is it just me or has hickey been a total bumb this whole tournament at the WJC
- Senet1 : I am not so sure that any of our players should be at the allstar game, but if I were to have any it would be Price and Komy. The ALL Star selection last year did not help Markov one bit and he played some of his worst hockey after the break, especially in the playoffs. To me Price has played well and is one reason we are fourth ing the standings. Komy has improved out defence since returning and id obviously valuable to our team. The rest of the guys need to get the extra rest and get health
- habs#1fan : Everyone (non Habs fans) needs to quit bitching and whining and deal with it, or do away with the voting process altogether. Let the League itself decide. Oh yeah then we would have an all star team full of Laffs. GO HABS GO!!!!!!!
- habs#1fan : But the bottom line is it was a voting process and the Habs have a ton of fans obviously.
- habs#1fan : So friggin sick of the bitchin and whinin everyone is doing about the all star selections. Price and Markov are there and justifiably so. Komi is one of the leagues best hitter and shot blocker as we all know. Kovy is the only questionable one, Ovechkin should have probably got it.
- PACTUM SERVA : vote as many times as you like
- PACTUM SERVA : «link»
- PACTUM SERVA : Vote price and komisarek as they are the ones that need our votes
- PACTUM SERVA : Pittsburgh fans are making a push for that dipsh@t fleury ans gonchar so get your votes in
- PACTUM SERVA : Hey guys just of note but today is the last day you can vote for the allstar game intill 9pm tonight
- PACTUM SERVA : but i am sure the habs brass knows all this right?
- PACTUM SERVA : pickin's for the other team just like what philly did to us last year
- PACTUM SERVA : Even if we did we would be so banged uped and bruise that come the second round it would be easy pickin
- PACTUM SERVA : Ask yourself this....do you honestly think we can beat boston or philly in a seven game series with our current roster?
- PACTUM SERVA : I understand that any team can be beaten on any given night but unless the habs get a little more muscle up front this team is going knowhere fast
- PACTUM SERVA : Tampa came out with a game plan.....Hit and hit hard....hit anything that moves. When teams do that to the habs they run and hide under a rock.
- PACTUM SERVA : Well to me i kind of do get worried when these teams below 500 give us trouble. Are we not suppose to be a cup contender this year?
- Senet1 : Personally, guys would not be so upset about us having trouble beating TB. Every team has their one or two teams that they have problems with, and it does not matter if they are a high or low place team. That team just gives them fits. The more important test was been to date is the Philly game and the Detroit game as well as the Pittsburgh game. We came to play in those games and won them. Tampa will give us trouble until Laclavier and St. Louis no longer play for that team. Really I expe
- pricey's stance was that of Oussain Bolt in the olympics
- to all in here a happy new year !
- hey PS
- PACTUM SERVA : I loved price's superman pose after he stopped vinny lol
- PACTUM SERVA : well tampa continues to give us a hard time.
- Dancan81 : Man the Habs are boring to watch sometimes.
- PACTUM SERVA : I dont want to get picky but the habs still need to work on alot of areas in their game, but 2 points is 2 points
- VanHab : well thankfully we weathered that storm
- VanHab : just like Carolina...it's a parade to the penalty box
- Hey PS... yep we need to put the cats and the lights out of their misery with two big convincing wins ... like the CDN juniors
- PACTUM SERVA : Time to break the silence. We need to beat the panthers tonight. Hope they come out with a point to prove
- Senet1 : Merry Christmas Habs fans, it has been great chatting with all of you over the year, here is hoping we turn the corner and improve our play in the second half, or maybe we should just peak at playoff time. Anyway, looks like we are going to have to beat the bruins again this year to move on.
- Dancan81 : Merry Christmas Habbers! Cheers to an awesome New Year, go Habs!
- PACTUM SERVA : Hey guys just wanna wish everyone here on HABSBLOG.COM Happy Holidays and a safe new year. Once again i would like to thank HB himself for all the hard work he puts in the site for all of us hab fans to enjoy. Cheers to the habs ripping it up in the new year.
- habs#1fan : A early xmas gift 8-2 Laffs embarrased. I said it before, me personally the next best thing to a Hab victory is a Laff loss. Thanks Santa. All things considered we are in OK shape. Not making excuses and all those other typical cliches but injuries have been a big factor. Along with average play by a great deal of the team. GO HABS GO

Lol, Rapheal seems to have better moves in close then Ryder could ever dream of having! I have a really bad feeling the Habs will lose a squeaker tonight even though the Flyers have alot more talent then the Habs right now, including the newly inked on a 12 year 69million contract, Mike Richards. Yikes is that long. Hopefully Gainey doesn’t have to hand out an extention like that to Higgins. Nothing against Higgy by 12 years is still a little excessive, but Richards is better then Higgins.
And once again congrats to PK Subban and Pacioretty!

One of the best games I’ve seen the canadiens play all year. What is it with them on the road???? Why can’t they do this at home! I want to see the same when we play the leafs on Saturday. Habs have been dreadful to watch lately. This game has at least made me feel that there is some hope. Nice to see the Kostitsyn brothers mentioned in the same play. Would be nice to see them turn into a Sedins type of story.
December 13, 2007 pm31 10:44 pm
Still nothing from Koivu.
This is turning into the Plekanec Kovalov show.
December 13, 2007 pm31 11:02 pm
Way to go PRICE.
Way to go HABS.
December 14, 2007 pm31 3:37 am

Posted on December 12th, 2007 at 9:26 pm. About ‘Sh*t Kicked Lightning in town’.
“The only reason Kostistyn is being called up, is because Gainey refuses to make a trade.He’d rather sit on his hands and sleep thru the year. Yeah pretty soon we’ll be calling the habs the Montreal bulldogs, because we have all their players,and we now look like an AHL team on the ice. Just change the CH to a bulldog”
There is nothing wrong with seeing the rebuilt Habs .. we all want to see them play as much as they can, they need to play and we need them to get better. How do you know Gainey has refused a trade? What trade did he rufuse? I bet you there will be a trade very very soon … will it be what you want? Will it be when you want? Nope Gainey does not get pushed around by the media or anyone else, he is xmas shopping right now and its all about to happen.
December 14, 2007 pm31 1:53 pm
I agree, the Habs have a desirable set of young players, Gainey should wait until the team is playing well (and they will) and their stock is higher, as well it’s becoming apparent that some teams are becoming desperate for goaltending (Tampa, Pittsburgh, etc.) Saying Gainey won’t make a trade is ignorant, that’s like saying he isn’t trying to sign a big name free agent, every summer he opens the vault to the top free agents, he hasn’t been lucky, but the same can be said about most GM’s.
December 14, 2007 pm31 3:20 pm
Hey DONNY BOY.
U R pretty good at the copy & paste thing.
Picking apart other people’s comments is your specialty right.
I guess you have nothing else better to do right.
December 14, 2007 pm31 3:57 pm
If you do not want people to comment on your posts then dont post … and when you make statments like Gainey refuses to trade.. back them up with facts. We all know he is always on the phone and always looking for a way to better the team, its a well know fact stated by people that know him personally, such as Jacques Demers …
December 14, 2007 pm31 4:46 pm

No one can pick apart my comments cause I tell it like it is. I tell the truth.

You know what? I guage a GM by what he’s done. Gainey has had 4 years to improve this team. It hasen’t happened. Please someone tell me about all the great trades he’s made in 4 years. Kovalev is the ONLY trade he’s made, and we all know how Kovalev likes to take nights off, so unless you can show me what great things Gainey has done, please don’t criticize my comments. Good GM’s are aggressive, not passive,and do whatever necessary to make their team better. And before you talk about his great drafting, 2 of his draft picks from last year, couldn’t even make their national team. they were cut! And where’s our depth on offence? Oh yeah, we have 2 defencemen playing at the forward spot. And how many offensive players did Gainey draft last year? Oh yes, can’t even name them, because nobody notable. Yes, Mr. Gainey has done a wonderful job,- at running this team into the gutter! He’s a patchwork GM. Don’t you ever get tired of the same thing every year? Wondering if we’re going to squeeze into the last playoff spot? I do. I’d like to see some stability on this team, and a good team for a change. I think 14 years of waiting is long enough. And please don’t tell me about patience. We’ve had 14 years of it!
December 14, 2007 pm31 8:15 pm
so much for the habs / ducks rumors…….Ducks just traded Andy MacDonald ( center) to St louis for Doug Weight.
R.I.P. Rumor.
December 14, 2007 pm31 8:18 pm
my point taken!
December 14, 2007 pm31 10:57 pm
Before everyone jumps on Gainey this trade is entirely the fault of one man…Brian Burke. This one’s really weird, you’d figure there would be a host of GMs besides Gainey that would have put together a stronger offer. The Ducks are a deep team, but if they were making room for Niedermayer why not trade a defensemen? Was Schneider that hard to unload?

What point? The one where you know better then everyone else… if you knew any better why dont you apply for the job.
December 15, 2007 pm31 12:04 am
Understand my logic: Good GM’s, like Brian Burke, make moves, and don’t screw around making promises(like Gainey did in the offseason, to get a scorer). If Burke was our GM, I guarantee this franchise would not be in disaray for long, certainly not for 14 years, or even 4 years. Unfortunately, people, not many, but some dummies think Gainey is a good GM because he was a great player, but GREAT PLAYERS DO NOT TRANSLATE INTO GREAT COACHES OR GREAT GM’S. Just look at Carbo. He’s our coach, (but hopefully for not much longer) because he’s good friends with Gainey. Whatever happened to the logic of, the most qualified and experienced person becoming a coach? I just don’t understand it. Savard, Houle, Tremblay. C’mon.

Hey, wait just one cottonplucin moment,er you sayin Gretzky can’t coach either?lol
December 15, 2007 pm31 8:35 am
This is Montreal the truth is some players do not want to play here period.
December 15, 2007 pm31 12:45 pm
4-1 over Philly. Amazing what can happen when you keep skating hard into the 2nd and 3rd periods isn’t it. And when someone actually goes to the front of the net. This is a better team then what they’ve been showing this last few weeks. Come on guys, get your home touch back tonight and beat up on the dirty Leafs…GO HABS GO !!!
December 15, 2007 pm31 10:48 pm
Yes Paul. You know more than Scotty Bowman.
