He seems to be working hard but no results. He should look at last years tapes. Send Price down is not going to improve his confidence with a poor team, he needs to be put with the big club playing every third game and if he gets on a roll then let him play until he loses. Huet will not sign next year because he sees the writing ont he wall with two very good young goaltenders waiting in the wings. Huet cannot handle the puck and is absolute horrible on shootouts. I do have to give him credit though for the other night after giving away a win with his poor puck handling he made some good saves in the shootout OR did he??? Brisebois and Smolinski got to go too.

Especially his antics during the playoffs and his theatrics. Even in the latest game, he got two points and was pathetic on a penalty shot. I didn't buy his skills when with the Habs and surely can't comprehend his scoring prowess as I have to give credit to his supporting linemates. But all that being said, good luck to him. Now for the current, still say Ryder has to be traded and he's got to bring in a bigger fish...Marleau, Perreault (for face-offs), or block buster trade (fit in Kovalev, Koivu & possibly Huet...for the right package in return. Wondering what Chicago could package to us. Ryder has got to be on his last stay with the Habs...Brisebois hasn't gone either way and Begin/Smolinski haven't helped the team. So my thoughts are to shed some of this dead weight...Keep it going with the kids and grow with their strengths. Let's go after Chicago tonight. BG might be looking at the Chicago players, Perreault in particular.

I suggest they go and get Perreault, because he's a center, and great on faceoffs. Let's see if Gainey is all talk or action. It amazes me that 3 coaches who as players, were great at winning faceoffs, yet unable to show their players how to win faceoffs. What does that mean?

They always have a hard time with those. One thing I will agree with you on, Habs 2010, is that the habs should never play afternoon or Sunday games. They always have a hard time with those.

He's too small, and not physical enough. But don't take my word for it. Just ask all the experts. You'll see. I'm not overly critical, but want this team to do well, and there are some players that just don't fit in. This team needs to get bigger, not smaller. The problem is, we're not tough enough and certainly there's no physical presence. It must change!

Price, I like the kid, but then again, Boston fans loved Andrew Raycroft, and we all see how well that turned out. So if I were Bob Gainey, I would tell all the Habs "fans" to shut the f*ck up and sign Huet for another 2 years.He's an established All star, Price is gamble.

But out of all your narcissistic mad ramblings I must take exception to one player that you mentioned in a earlier post. No, I will ignore all of your idiotic talk of how crappy the habs goaltenders are and how Huet should be dumped and Price is horrible, because there are many others here who are willing to defend these two. And so they should. I will take exception to you refering to Bouillon as garbage. Contrary to what you think there are many players in the habs lineup that most other teams would like to have, based on age, talent or potential talent. Bouillon is a valuable player. He has contributed a great deal to the successes they have experienced this year and I doubt you would find a single player who puts more effort into every game. Not every player can be a superstar, and Bouillon is far from that. But he is valuable non-the-less. What would a team run by you look like? Get rid of the youth when they struggle in a few games while learning! Bench the veteran players that make an odd mistake. Make heads roll after every loss - even when the team is still well in the playoff hunt. Waive the depth players because they don't score like Crosby or Lecavalier. You'd be the perfect boss for the leafs! Habs2010, you are indeed a hockey genius.

Come on... Habs 2010...so you're answer to the goaltending for the Habs is to trade away Huet, and put Price in the minors... you REALLLY think that Danis and Halak would be better... your logic amazes us all, Habs2010 for GM and goalie coach for sure in 08-09...
