Still, the problem lies with the fact that we are going to play tougher teams and if we can’t beat these under .500 teams….it doesn’t look good!!

As for the people that can’t see above the forest, we’ve only lost two games which can easily grow to four and five and before you know it we’ll be in fighting for the playoff position…sounds familiar!! No….then check out the last four or five season while the Canadiens try to get that last playoff spot.

It’s time to shake up some of the dead wood on the team….as far as chemistry goes, I think this will come up shortly…either on a good or bad way. Go Habs Go vs Tampa Bay Lightning.

Boston ahead of us? HA ……… Either you are a comedian or just one very negative person. Or a BRuins fan. Lets be honest we probably still lose that game if Lapierre was playing. He is not Guy Lafleur. ITs funny how all of a sudden Lapierre is our best player. We lost last night because of the goaltending battle. Bottom line. WE have wn games because of the same reason. The old man played well and that happens. Oh well, at least we wont have to play Florida in the playoffs.

Guys; Latendresse doesn’t know what to do with the puck, 1 on 1 with the goalie.he needs some target practice. Also, Huet has started to let in some soft goals recently. I told you, he’s getting tired! And we don’t have an adequate backup; that’s why carbo is playing him so much. Also, our PP has gone to sleep recently. We need to get it back into high gear. Last night we had so many opportunities to score, and came up empty handed every time. Target practice, 1 on 1 with the goalie is the answer, because this team is like: “THE GANG THAT COULDN’T SHOOT STRAIGHT!. the shots aren’t even on goal. C’mon habs, learn to shoot at the goalie, and not at his pads, or the glass! Our defence was horrific last night. As a whole team, they didn’t skate, as evidenced by the 3rd goal(soft one). They need to show up tonight, because Boston is breathing down our necks. I’m going to make a prediction: Boston will end the season ahead of us, meet us in the 1st round(because MTL is not finishing higher than 5th),and beat us. They are comung on, and lately we haven’t been playing great. I say, bring up LAPIERRE to infuse our team with energy, something they lacked last night! Also, CUT OUT ALL THOSE STUPID PENALTIES! THEY ARE KILLING US!!

….LAPIERRE!.. bet he would of scored twice…,Belfour or anyone for that matter, can stop a puck if it’s shot at him.He’s a 41 year old,broken-back wore out from playing for TORONTO,half the reflex back up that should be goalie coaching,and we need ****** snipers that can take the pressure of Huet, then we will be way past the first round and into the finals,been a long time coming!!! go habs..

really sad to see these points slip away…but that’s something that the team can’t shake. There were many opportunities to put this game away. Huet may have let in a couple of soft goals and that too can happen. In the first period, two breakaways by Lat and no goals also many other chances squandered. 4 PP opps and again draw a blank. Not sure but this was the same against the Bruins…no one stepping up and pulling the trigger. We need that killer instinct. Definitely, seems like Belfour has stolen the game. Let’s play better against TB. Need to check their scorers Lecavalier, St.Louis and Richards). Let’s make this a better result. Go Habs Go!

Belfour played well and was the difference. Huet is beginning to let in softies in teh third periods which is concerning since this was not happening before. HE is lettign the puck squeeze through his legs when he is covering up.

I dont think we will be seeing Lats in the shootout anytime soon.

Hey Steve;

The Sabres also recently lost to the Panthers, does that mean they are not a contender. And if not who is only Anaheim? 1 contender int the league and what happens if they lost to the BLues later on? DOes that mean there are no contenders in the NHL?

Montreal has always struggled in Florida, I think they are 9-14-3 all time. Not good. Gotta feel for all the Habs fans down there, they deserve better. Defeinetely played better then the score indicated.

ANd who was the fool that kept saying SOuray skates into HUet all the time. I think you have SOuray mixed up with Rivet.

The Florida Panthers are a better team than people think, they never take a night off and have some very key players that can change any game they play in. Did anybody Ed Belfour steal that game last night? He played amazing especially in the 1st period. Who’s Pierre Dagenais? Who’s Mike Ribeiro?? Who’s Jose Theodore???

Losing to **** teams ?? This is a tough one.
The difference between contenders and pretenders!
Contenders DON’T LOSE to the Florida Panthers, PERIOD!
On paper Florida should not even be on the same ice.
Reality is that this team is a false hope, let’s not get to excited.

Looking forward to tonights showdown against the panthers!

Florida has a very deceptive record…Every time I watch them play, they play VERY HARD and are know to be a very competitive team! I just think it’s one of those seasons (so far) where unfortunately your team doesn’t get many good bounces!That being said it’s always have a great ride against florida!

GO HABS GO!
