    Yes GO GIANTS GO smoke brady into next week. On another note, if we could some how get hossa here come the dead line there is no doubt in my mind the we would be a serious contender.I am not sure what we would need to give up but maybe ryder,firt rounder,and some prospects maybe chipchura pacorety lol i dont know im just throwing some names out there trust me i am no gm but could you imagine hossa added to this team? wow

    Hossa is a nice addition to a team that already has everything else. Now maybe Hossa would work here, but if the past is any indication, until we get some real grit in this lineup, Hossa should wait. Grit wins playoff rounds, no one can argue with that. Hossa couldn’t help bring the Sens anywhere, since he’s gone they’re blooming, and you remember the terrible playoff run the Thrashers had last year…they got their asses smoked in a sweep. These European, finesse scorers are great for regular season excitement, and they sell tickets which put asses in seats…but in the playoffs…esp. the later rounds…true grit and hard-nosed hockey takes the Cup home most of the time. Now, if guys like Lapierre, Dandy, and Smolinski can raise their games a little more, and reach the level of gritty players that win playoff rounds like Moen, Rob Niedermayer, and Jersey’s Madden…..then bring on Hossa, put him with Koivu, and let the rest take care of itself. We got a team that can take the hardware back home where it belongs then. GO HABS GO !!!

    The referees should have made a statement by giving a ranges 2 min as well as gorges and gave the habs a full 5min pp. there was enough going on to do it. but also they probably did it to help make up for the missed call on AK…oh well still a good game so far…

    it was an exciting and physical game…the only problem is that some players didn’t complete their assignments and this cost them the game. The errors mainly due to lack of execution. Smolinsky gives puck away, Kovalev the same, Hamerlick twice leaves forwards alone. non block of point shot and screening Huet. Koivu takes foolish penalty. In general a good physical game but one they let slip. On to the next as the last 10 games have been positive and if you are going to lose one then this is the type to do so as if you correct the missed assignments, then you will have the 2points.

    Time for a deal…Ryder in the stands is not part of the team. Someone said San Jose to deal with Toronto, Habs must make it difficult on the McLaffs and throw in an offer to up the anty.

    Huet was not sharp however but will bounce back!!

    What a game! You guys are right about the giveaways, especially by Kovalev. Those drop passes only work about half the time no matter how many pretty goals they generate.

    The Rangers just ground this one out and a couple of goals can be blamed directly on Hamrlik. Komisarek was physical but he seemed a little weak with the puck a few times.

    Oh well, moving forward to meet the Leafs with a potential trade in the meantime!

    I hate to see my team lose like that but It can happen. I was so excited earlier on and the Rangers got me pissed right off. that was a Playoff game and you could see that mtl wouldn’t be able to go through it. Kovalev was afraid of everyone, even Jagr and Huet stopped the shots that didn’t matter. Kovalev should know that his team will be right there to help him out. I do think that mtl will pound the rangers the next time they see them. I’m so pissed that I won’t be happy until I see mtl 70 pts Ott 69 pts.

    I agree with Habman on this one. Although giving up a 3-0 lead at home to the worst offensive team in the league in a big game was brutal….we got something else ouuta this game….our boys can take hits and dish them right back to a team of giants. THIS is what we needed to see if this club could do…and they did it. It’s not a time to frown Habs faithful, its a time to rejoice…this element is needed badly for playoffs, and alot of people were questioning if we could handle it. Well, we did….with honors. To quote Habman ” now we got a team” is right. Just hope we don’t run into the Rangers in the playoffs…they do seem to have our number no matter what the lead or the circumstances.

    Still got a big game coming up Tues, night with the Sens…this is gonna be the test. Hoping Kovy don’t get the suspension some of these sports analyists are saying he should get. Very bad time to lose your offense, esp. considering what happened this time last year. Because its evident now I think, the Koivu/Higgins line aren’t gonna pick up the slack in Kovy’s abscence.

    I don’t believe we’re gonna see Ryder by this time next month wearing a Habs jersey anymore. It’s s shame, and still burns me a little that he’s the only one from this line be punished. Higgins can’t find the net from the crease, and he’s far from standing out or producing. But, I’m sick of arguing this point, so, forget it….Ryder moving on is a done deal now so to speak….I just hope whatever deal Gainey is cooking up is a good one that benefits us, and we don’t get some useless acquisition like Yelle from Calgary.

    It would be nice to see someone who can do something with the puck AND crack some skulls if necessary, although this is rare today. We do need a bouncer to take care of business and the proof lies in yesterdays game. I know we’d never get them, but imagine someone like Bougaard or Laraque in this lineup….hit our young guys from behind into the boards then, Hollweg. Great pride this guy must have huh? Big guy like that picks out the smallest, youngest guy we got and runs him….lowlife.

    Anyways guys, see ya all here after the Sens game…lets hope all the blogs are good ones. GO HABS GO !!!

    Halak Has been sent down, But that means Montreal needs a back up. Carey Price obviously, but what is taking the announcement sooo long!!! MTL did out hit the rangers but not even komis check on Jagr was huge. We have a great shot but I think we have to do what Anaheim did and have a large amount of fighters. For me I think Derek Boogard would be fine.

    Gainey was seen talking to Waddell at the Bell Center yesterday, and it wasn’t about Ryder. It was about bringing Hossa to Montreal. atlanta wants Yemelin. He supposed to be another Markov. But because we’re desperate to get a winger for Koivu, I’d do it.

    I wouldn’t trade Emelin for Hossa. He dissapears and cowers in the playoffs and frankly the Habs don’t need a player like that. Put Sergei as the permanent other winger on Koivu’s line and throw Ryder and Ferland at Risebrough for Boogard. Let’s see Hollweg do what he did while he’s got Boogard’s fist in his mouth. He’s the most physically intimidating force in the game(yes more then Laraque) cause unlike George, Boogard is a nasty sob with a mean streak which the Habs could surely use.

    Plus since the Habs look like they could use another vet on the team to bring some leadership for the young guys, I could see Gainey talking to Waddell not about Hossa, but for Bobby Holik, a UFA at season’s end who wouldn’t cost too much.

    The boyz may be a bit to bruised up to swing a hard physical game tuesday, i think they put the “K” brothers out for a couple extra shifts..maybe kovalev gets 9 oor 10 shifts..not 15 tuesday…if ryder plays hell be with higgins and lapierre i think…Boulin played well ..he gets extra shifts also..brisebois..well i put him with Kovalev on the short shift …Gorges and Striet ..theyll get extra time again tues with a “C”less Ottawa team..its speed against speed a 4 point game…Ottawa may attempt to try a physical first period to see if they can downplay the tempo of the Montreal “bruising” thye got sunday…so the vets get a well deserved rest and Carbo will see if his ‘Hitler Youth” will come through and give the ol boyz a rest…Montreal loses a close one tues 5 to 3 empty netter by Ottawa late third…Plakenic may score tonight S.k should get another…higgins the third goal

Let Komisarek pound the piss outta Spezza and get him off his game….then its only a one-hipped Alfie we got to worry about, if he plays at all. Win this one guys, get the full-hiuse into the game early with some good scoring chances are hard hit. With the loyal legions of Habs faithful screaming to the rafters, they’ll help with the momentum and the big 2 points. 1 point behind after tonight Ottawa…..can ya feel that hot breath on the back of your necks….thats us, coming for the Eastern crown.
