Changeup
-
The Habs haven’t been too convincing as of late.
Tonight they visit the Senators, whom they handled fairly easily last week and came away with a 4-0 win. Confidence should not be an issue, should it?
New lines for tonight:
Latendresse – Koivu – Tanguay
Higgins – Plekanec – Kovalev
A.Kostitsyn – Lang – Kostopoulous
Laraques – Begin – S. Kostitsyn

- Mats Naslund : I would have preferred 'interim' next to GM.
- Mats Naslund : The one plus on the side of Gauthier is that he is very familiar with the team. A new GM might not have understood everything about the players, but he will. I'm still not sold though. His track record scares the heck out of me.
- Donnie : Thanks for making that point about the whole French thing islandhabfan. These are the truest words spoken on this site. Alot of people wont say it cuz they think it sound somewhat biggoted. But my friend, you are exactly right, until this whole speaking french bullsh*t thing goes out the window, this club is not gonna recover. Hiring someone anywhere else in the country because he speaks english would be racism, but it floats when its the opposite and done in Quebec. CUT THE BULLSH*T habs, and g
- goalie : I think Mats may be on the right path. EVERYONE has said for three years now that the habs need a bigger stronger center ice man. The fact is BG Did NOT get that player in three years. The team isn't that much better than last year (if at all) afte teh off-season moves. I think thta the Molson's may have quietly suggested he down. I would have if I were them.
- PACTUM SERVA : wake me up in another 6 years guys
- PACTUM SERVA : lol
- nilan : Jeeez, gauthier sounds like he's facing a firing squad. Already got the blindfold on...
- PACTUM SERVA : im changing my handle lol
- PACTUM SERVA : lol no not really nilan lol
- PACTUM SERVA : this team is so fuc ked
- nilan : Maybe "keeping the faith" is not what we are feeling right now, eh pac?
- nilan : That may very well happen.
- PACTUM SERVA : Gauthier will put his stamp on this team by trading away price lol
- nilan : Soooo....trade everyone for draft picks and bring up the entire Hamilton squad? Late 90's all over again.
- islandhabfan : He has the right last name. this team is not going anywhere as long as they only hire people that speaks french They have to find the best person no matter what language they speak...
- nilan : 2-3 year window. sorry.
- nilan : As of late? there was a 2-3 window of hope in a sea of bad choices.
- PACTUM SERVA : agreed
- Donnie : Maybe just another horrible move in what seems to be becoming a regular thing in Montreal as of late.
- PACTUM SERVA : but gauthier???????? ?????
- PACTUM SERVA : True
- Donnie : Wondering if Gainey was givin the option to resign to avoid being fired. Could be more to this than meets the eye.
- PACTUM SERVA : Gauthier was a brutal gm before
- PACTUM SERVA : im starting to question if this team has any clue at all
- islandhabfan : by the sound of it gauthier is the new gm not interim...this is bullshit...need new blood
- PACTUM SERVA : Gauthier is a joke
- PACTUM SERVA : welcome to the mid 90's again guys....brutaal
- PACTUM SERVA : brutal
- PACTUM SERVA : im watching it on rds and to my understanding they are saying gauthier is the new gm
- nilan : I was thinking the same thing. NHL is listing him as interim. Press Conf should be starting now.
- PACTUM SERVA : is gauthier just going to be the interim gm? I hope so because if he is the new gm this team is in huge trouble
- nilan : Wow. Cannot fully articulate how I feel right now about this. Wow.
- PACTUM SERVA : Brutal
- PACTUM SERVA : OMG im just thinking about some of those contracts he brought in
- PACTUM SERVA : should be interesting to hear what he says a 4pm

That fourth line isn’t a line, it’s a message. The Kostitsyn’s have each moved one place down the depth chart.
November 20, 2008 pm30 4:44 pm
Way to go carbo nice line up. What? is this your first day on the job? When most teams that struggle usually only change the first two line carbo feels the need to change all four lines. This is brutal coaching at its best. Here is an idea, why not move brisbois and obyrne to the forward posistion and get youppi to center them. Just when you think carbo seems to be getting better as an nhl coach he goes and sticks s. kostitsyne on a line with laraque and begin and puts kostopoulos on with lang and and a. kostitsyne. Way to go carbo you meat head
November 20, 2008 pm30 5:47 pm
lol
I don’t see the problem. Laraque is a pure goal scorer and Kostopolous has hands that could stick-handle an egg. With the Kostitsyn brothers grinding in the corners for these guys, I think Laraque might break out of his 13 season goal-scoring slump and this could be just the combination that Kostopolous needs to show off his new stick-handling moves.

Why can’t we have more players like Brooks Laich?
http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Eklund/Brooks-Laich-With-A-Penalty-Kill-for-The-Ages/1/17985
We just need to limit the shots (get in the way of them) and play defensive positioning.
Losing Komi is such a big blow to us defensively.
I don’t know how many times I see us out of position.
Carbo needs to teach these guys how to play without the puck.
Go back to the basics!
November 21, 2008 pm30 3:56 pm
This team is in serious need of some shots. They simply haven’t been doing the things offensively that made them successful last year and at the beginning of this year. Enough of these feeble give-away passes though the neutral zone. Get the puck in and put it on net. There is so much offensive talent on this team that they have forgotten how to score.
November 21, 2008 pm30 8:58 pm
Re; Sundin. Win-win for Gaigney. He lets Mats know that the Habs are still an option, and he sends a message to some of his player–hey, you are actually playing for your job!
November 21, 2008 pm30 9:40 pm
As much as i would like to see sundin in montreal i just cant see him signing here. I was glad to see the whole sundin thing behind us and now its back. I doubt he would ever play for the red,white and blue but strangers things have happened i guess. Watch him sign with nashville lol. My bet is with the leafs though or rangers. I hope he pulls out his tampon soon and makes up his mind.
November 23, 2008 pm30 1:23 pm
Sundin is a tool alright, but not the kind that’s used to tweak Stanley Cup contenders. No thanks.
