17 goals in 3 games?

Uncharacteristic Habs hockey to say the least.

Unsurprisingly those 3 games were all Hab Wins.

Can they keep it up on the road in Pittsburgh?

Carey Price will get his 3rd start of the year tonight against the same team and in the same building he got his first career NHL win.

If the Habs can keep hitting the back of the net, I can’t see why Price wouldn’t get his second win.

Why is Latendresse on the PP? Carbo must be brain desd!
And Price isn’t ready for the NHL. He keeps letting in goals thru the 5 hole.
He’s definitely NOT READY!

Nice win for the good guy’s!Price should allway’s do shootout duty,like a relife pitcher in baseball”he just stoned the MIGHTY PENS !” after all it’s Huet’s shortcomming.
I must say I feel very proud of way the team is playing and as a lifelong fan……HABS RULE……………………………….

After we build up a lead, we always stop playing. We were lucky to win this game, because the 2nd and 3rd periods belonged to Pitt.
Why is Latendresse on the team instead of Lapierre? He belongs in the minors. He’s totally USELESS!

Why is Garth Murray on the team? I would rather Latendress on the team than Murray.

Latendress has the potential to be a powerforward. Garth Murray is a watered down version of Begin. get rid of Murray and bring up Lapierre

But yeah, don’t worry, be happy.

Did Price look a little nervous last night? I think he should be sent to Hamilton as the starter; Halak backup. Take Danis up as Huet’s Backup, Trade him along the way, take Price back up. That way Price isn’t sitting too long riding the bench. He needs more playing time.

Right so he let in a bad gaol and after that? He stoned the Pens all the way into the Shootout and Stoned them again… the mark of a great goalie is they let in a bad one, but then they just slam the door for the rest of the night… only thing brain dead around here is guys like you .

Price is doing quite well. He needs to learn the ridiculous pressure of playing in Montreal from guys like chevy…
With Huet playing the way he is and Price doing a stand-up job “learning the ropes”, the Habs are in very good shape in goal. The confidence just seems to ooze out from their own end.
Reminds me of last year until the bug hit…
The differences to watch this year: power play is multi-dimensional, Huet will not be worked as much, and Kovy’s come to play!!

Jack, dont forget Markov : he is playing like a Norris contender a the moment.

You don’t have a clue about Price. Talk sense Dude. Huet is not our Savour.

To everyone: HOW MANY SOFT GOALS HAS HUET LET IN. HUET’S SOFT GOALS COST THE HABS A PLAYOFF BIRTH LAST YEAR WIN WE PLAYED TO IN THE LAST GAME….

Chevy, this is last time I read any of your comments, you’re a horrible fan really, can’t even celebrate a win (or 4 in a row)…this team is by far exceeding ALL expectations..

You speak as if you should play on their behalf… all old, cranky, and sweaty and cursing your 13″ TV all night long… wake up bud, were WINNING!

All this negativity sounds like Toronto Laffs fans… get over yourself, thats 4 wins in a row for the good guys!!!

GO HABS GO, thrash the Thrashers!

um….on a side note Spectors reports that Sergei Samsonov has been a healthy scratch for the past three games in Chicago because of his poor play…..lmao….for you Gainey nay sayers…..this one alone was worth having Bob here.

just my humble opinion….don’t get your panties in a bunch.

DTD
All I am saying about Price is that he needs more playing time. Huet is playing really well right now so why should our goalie of the future be riding the pine. He should go to Hamilton and start every game until he is called back up. I wasn’t saying he was no good. So you should read into a post before reacting Dude. Price needs to play or he will seize up.

#15 HabsFan4life says:
October 29, 2007 at 3:07 pm

Oh and the whole team cost a birth lastyear, not just Huet. He didn’t play for a month. wasn’t his decision to play. That was Carbo’s choice.

HabsFan4life:

Sorry Dude.

Bob has a plan. He wants to trade Huet for a goal scorer. He needs to see what Price can do………….

#19 habslover says:
October 30, 2007 at 4:34 pm

yeah,trade your number one goalie right before the playoffs…that would be nice. Way to mess up chemistry.

Nah, keep him, resign him for a one year contract to let Price mature. then Trade him or let him go on his way. Or if Price flops, pull a sign him for 15 years like the Islanders would.

Hold on everyone…don’t get too excited yet. I’m a huge Habs fan, have been for many years…but they always do this. BIG start, followed with a fizzle. I pray to God that it’s not the case this year, and they are the real thing, but lets wait and see huh? I gotta tell ya, one thing I’m very discouraged about is, once again, our Habs holding their own with the big gun teams and then losing to the bottom teams. The same old song and dance as last year and the year before…beat Pitts, great games with Ottawa, splitting season series with Buffalo…but then losing, like they did last Tues night to Atlanta…the team everyone else is beating up on. Come on guys, #1 powerplay vs. #29 penalty kill, get 6 powerplays, including two 5 on 3′s, and can’t beat these guys? Winning games against less superior teams is what put teams like Ottawa and Buffalo at the top of the standings at years end. But this is where our Habs have trouble, just like last year. Ya gotta take these “gimme” games and keep the 2 pts racking up to be at the top. Why do we have so much trouble with these teams? Giving them a break? Only playing as good as the opponent? Come on, fill the net against these poor penalty-kill, high GGA teams. The top teams do this regularly, and if we wanna be there once again, we gotta start banking these 2pts when we get the chance. Gets discouraging when we beat Pitts and Carolina rather handily…then to entend to a 5 game winning streak we got the Thrashers (who arent playing up to their standards this year so far), and then lose….gotta beat these teams while they’re down…its whats gonna separate the top 5 or 6 teams in the Conference come playoff time. Consistency is all we’re missing right now to have a great year and a good playoff run. GO HABS GO !!!!

goalie : I can't type.... what a faux pas on my behalf...
goalie : I just realized what I said adn didn't say yesterday. What a fayx as on my behalf. Regarding coaching Randy Cunnyworth MUSDT stay as an assistant- he deserves at least that after the tremendous job he did in the latter part of this past season. I'd still mlike to have Robinson, Carbo adn Allard on the staff also.
Avatar37 : I agree Senet, my choice if we can't have Cunneyworth would be Crawford, Robinson on defense, Cunneyworth for offense, and Carbo as offense/faceoffs .
Senet1 : I think if I had my choice it would be Crawford and see if he could get Carbo and Robinson as assistants. That would be my idea coaching team.
goalie : I witnesed Marc Crawford MANY times when the Avs, etc. played against Oilers and let me tell you - he is constantly on the referees asses virtually game after game. He is the complete OPPOSITE of J. Martin. Crawford is calm on TSN but he is one excited coach behind the bench. A friend of mine who was an NHL linesman for 26 years said they dreaded Crawford he was so tough on the officials!
goalie : You know, I've bee thinking about the coaching situation. I'd be really excited if the Habs had Hartley as head coach and Carbo adn Robinson as his assistants. I also read it somewhere about a month ago that Toronto's goalie coach Allard (?) wants to relocate back to Montreal where he has his goaltending school/business. Add him to the mix and I'd say the Habs would be in great shape coaching wise.
Avatar37 : Well, from what I recall, Hartley didn't do all that well with the Thrashers. But, I don't know enough about him to judge one way or the other. Crawford I do know, and he always seemed to be a good, level headed coach to me.
Senet1 : even Pacioretty two years ago did not impress any of us. Younger players have to play and make mistakes and learn from those mistakes. If they sit in the press box they are learning nothing.
Senet1 : Of course if he have some good assistants like a Larry Robinson to teach the young defence and someone like Carbo to teach faceoffs etc. then your coach does not have to be as good at teaching. If Hartley fits the bill you get no argument from me. My only previous point is that if he is impatient with your younger players to the point that he does not play them, then we are right back where we were with Martin. Martin was a good coach too, but how he handled Emelin, PK and even Pacioretty two
goalie : I would like to see the Habs sign a coach who realizes that our team isn't tough enough (we need to get bigger and somewhat more nastier),the coach needs t be a great TEACHER and be a coach who can get the players to understand and buy into his system. Other than that I couldn't care what lingo he speaks. I wnat to see our team become a ligitimate contender fast!
HabsLoseAgain : Well we dont know if he is or is not a teaching coach. I woukd just hate to paint Hartley something that he is not. There will always be questions but if Hartley was hired as the habs new bench boss i for one would not be overly upset.
Senet1 : My thoughts are not that he is or is not a good coach but rather that when he won the cup he had an experience team of superstars on that team. Where as we have a group of young inexperienced players, is he a teaching coach or a tactical coach or both? I am not question whether he is a good coach, but my question therefore is he the coach for us at this point in the deveopment of our team?? Not sure we are all purely speculating at the moment?
Senet1 : Something happened to my first post. I will try again.
Senet1 : That is why I said I am not sure he is the coach for us at this time? Right now we are all speculating including yourself, because non of us know for sure?
HabsLoseAgain : Crawford also won a cup with Patrick Roy so would you say he is a good coach or did he just have great players and one of the best goaltenders of alltime?
HabsLoseAgain : Senrt so please give me some reasons why you think Hartley is not the coach the habs need right now. What is it that you do not like about him or his coaching style?
HabsLoseAgain : Well all great coaches had great players playing for them so i guess you you add a a pile of other coaches to that list including Bowan......
Senet1 : Hartley, was he a good coach or did he just have great players and one of the best altime goaltenders of all time. I am not sure that he is the type of coach that this organization needs right now. Unless of course we sign a ton of free agents.
Avatar37 : However, my feelings may completely be wrong, Hartley may turn out to be a good fit.
Avatar37 : I didn't say Hartley was unknown, I said we demoted a good coach in Cunneyworth and now have an unknown quantity because we don't have a coach. I don't have that great a feeling about Hartley, I'd be much more comfortable with Crawford.
HabsLoseAgain : In my opinion i think he might be a good fit in montreal. Oh and he also likes to have a tough team.
HabsLoseAgain : Also this year he coached the ZSC Lions to the swiss championship title.
HabsLoseAgain : lol the so called "unknown" won a cup in 2000-2001 with the colarado avalanch.
HabsLoseAgain : lol Bob Hartley is not an unknown lol.....sheesh.
Senet1 : I think he has until the trading deadline to show us that he deserves to be on this team. If he does not get back on track then he could be simply a 2nd round draft pick to whoever we can trade him to.
Avatar37 : Bourque reminds me of Pouliot, size, skill, and invisible. He needs to get back to playing a physical game and bang people around and maybe he'll start getting some of those garbage goals again. Need to get to the front of the net. I hope he can find his game again.
Avatar37 : We had a good coach in Randy Cunneyworth. Now we have an unknown, with Bob Hartley rumoured to be the front runner. I'd rather have Cunneyworth.
goalie : A player like Rene Bourwue has al the physical attributes of what would be a beter than average player. Hwever, he certainly didn't play that well especially after being in Montreal about three weeks. We NEED players like Rene to play hard AND produce points on a REGULAR BASIS in order for us to be competitive.
Senet1 : MONTREAL – Rene Bourque had a rocky start to his career as a Hab, but he’s planning on using the next four years to make up for it. After arriving in Montreal under less-than-ideal circumstances in January, Bourque spent the following 38 games hoping to find the spark he needed to rekindle his offensive production. Despite flanking Tomas Plekanec on the team’s second line to close out the season, the 30-year-old sniper suddenly found himself firing blanks in his new NHL home.
Senet1 : I think we have to be patient and not expect too much too soon. Let's get a strong management team in place, make a good choices in the draft get a good coach and then see what we need at the free agent market. I will not be too disapointed if we miss the playoffs again next year if it means a long term team success. We have the opportunity to make some major strides over the next two years at the draft table. Then we fill in the holes.
goalie : I certainly agree that we need to get some impact forwards who will sign for 5 years, not for a season then walk away. That's not going to help us.
goalie : I wouldn't trade PK for Ovetchkin no matter what. He is a coach's NIGHTMARE and a poor team player.
Senet1 : I believe he will as we graducally put better players around him and build this team.
Senet1 : Goalie I agree with Avatar. PK is the present and future of this teams defence. I would not even take Staal from Pittsburg unless I had him tied up in a long term contract of a Minimum of 5 years. Also once has to consider the salary difference. Pk is on the move up probably 3M plus for his next contract and then eventually 4-5M if he keeps on improving. He has moved his game up two gears since he came into the league 2 years ago. He now has to move to the next level and I believe he will as w
Avatar37 : pressure playing in Montreal, since he has problems with the expectations in Washington and Montreal isn't any easier. Then again, the media were very easy on Kovalev, so maybe it's a Russian thing? No idea. Anyway, yeah, it would have to be an established star that gives us an immediate drastic upgrade at forward, that's the only way I'd trade PK, because we'd be giving up a potential QB on our blueline for the next decade.
