10 Games Remain

The Canadiens have just 10 regular season games left, tonight and Tuesday’s the only games against non-divisional opponents.

Yes, the last 8 games of the year are ALL against Northeast teams, all whom still believe they are in the playoff hunt. And with so many Divisional games remaining, anything can happen.

Needless to say, the Habs need to secure no less than 4 points against the non contending Islanders and Blues or they risk making the final 8 games even harder on themselves.

      It was only a few short weeks ago I blatantly said that Pronger was an arrogant and selfish person, and his rough play and smirking grin made me sick to see when he should not have been nominated to go…now i stand by my thoughts as I witness the testament made by the NHL review committee and the menial 8 game suspension given for “stomping” on a player,
      It serves no justification whatsoever when a precedent was set by Chris Simon.
      I am appalled by the convienience(given by the commissioner) that this man will be playing in the post season!
      As a player and fan,I believe he should have the rest of the season off!

      Iam pleased to announce that Chris Pronger will relinquishing to the tune of 609,756.08 in salary from games missed from his pitally suspension. The monies will be transfered to a “Players Emergency Fund”..in case one of them doesnt have change for the bus, or they cant afford that “special operation” for their families or friends, thus another wonderful Tax write off for the leaugue and the “cronies” that run it…a JOKE!!!!

      hablifer, we got one tonight but the good news is we are playing better 5 on 5 and scoring some goals, something we had a problem with earlier in the season. Our power play is still #1 in the league, this time of year more teams are concentrating on special teams, getting ready for playoffs, I don’t think there is much to worry about we will get our share of PP goals

      Thanks joebone..ill answer my own questions…anyway I don’t ike the fact that the “wiener” in the southeast division gets one of the top spots ..they could jump leaps and bounds over teams with more points than them..ridiculous..its an AMERICAN scheme to say the least..they do not do it in the NBA!

      It gonna get dropped next year I am pretty sure… thanks to the Canes we remain in 1st , see Ottawa is a black sheep for us thats all , we just need to side step them in the playoffs or we need to kick their collective rears in the 2 games we have left against them. Sure looks like the al might Laffs will be on the golf course’s early this year…

      Two things, Ottawa will either fall before we meet them in the playoffs or we will figure out a way to beat them, if not it was not meant to be this year. Secondly,I agree that the Canes should not automatically get into the playoffs just because they win their division, I do believe that they discussed this and it is supposed to be changed not sure if it is next year or not?? Anyway other than getting the third seed, they will probaby have at least enough points to finish 7th or 8th in our conference.

      Posted on March 17th, 2008 at 11:13 am. About '10 Games Remain'.

      I was just sizing up the standings, and you know it’s quite a shame that Ott owns us the way they do. We could have the 1 or 2 seed almost wrapped up now if we could even split the series.
      Again we’re 2 pts. ahead of them with even games played. Just like last week before they came to town to pass us again. And the same position we may be in again next week when we face them again. Trying to stay hopeful with these Habs/Sens match-ups. I’m even saying to myself…..1 and 5 means we’re due, lol…..optimism at its best.
      But we’ve gotta get these guys outta our heads somehow. If anyone watched the Sens/Canes game on Sunday, you saw that the Canes did nothing magical to beat them. They came at them hard, stayed skating, and hit everyone (including Spez and Heat). I’ll say it again….when this line doesn’t have the run of the show, Ott doesn’t win.
      The reality is, we CAN beat Ott…..its just other teams show-up to play them and we don’t. The same way we own the Bruins this year….they haven’t been a part of most of the games we beat them in this year. And you just know that Bruins fans are cursing us, and frustrated at our dominance over them the same way we are with the Sens.
      ” We can’t beat the Sens” ? ……HORSE SHIT !!! Get the stupid thought outta our guys heads that we’re beaten before the puck drops, and play them hard. Skate, score and hit the same way we beat other teams this year to rack up 40 wins this year..the same amount as Ott. They’re not a magical team full of wizards and warlocks…..they’re a team of god damn men just like us, with one scoring line. It’s just a shame that we’re bending over for them instead of playing them with heart and desire, like we have done to every other team this year. Bottom line…if we pull together and get mad, and figure this puzzle out for the last 2 games against them….the 1 or 2 seed is all but ours. Let them deal with Pit or NJ in the first round. GO HABS GO !!!

      Jaroslav Halak is getting the start tomorrow. I read it on TSN.CA Ice Chips.

      Posted on March 17th, 2008 at 1:50 pm. About '10 Games Remain'.

      That’s right. Play Halak against the Weak Teams so he can rack up the impressive #’s.

      Play Price against the Top Teams and his #’s drop.

      Price has nothing to prove. He has done it all so far. Halak has proved that he can beat Weak Teams I guess.

      Anyway, good luck Halak. Keep up the good work!

      I witnessed this game in Bell Centre, just behind Halak twice.

      Halak was amazing! Positing, Timing, Visioning,… just a perfect game from Halak.

      Too bad we have two (too) good goalies…

      Many Habs fans are talking on the topic:

      Putting Price as the #1 goalie, no problem at all; but it’s kind of wasting Halak, the 22-year-old talented goalie as a backup…

      why wouldn’t the sens want to play us? they beat us every time! common sense.By the same token, the habs want the bruins in the 1st round. the team you have the most success against in the regular season, is the same team you want to face in the playoffs. the problem with the habs is, they have the sens in their head. It’s all the psyche. habs need some positive reinforcement, or hypnosis! Just play in their faces, and ram it down their throats, just like Carolina did! look and learn Carbo and players!

      nm about my llast comment. Price and Halak find the battle for #1 fun and they say they are really good friends. As long as one of them don’t turn into Emery, I think he’s fine.
