TSN has Garth Murray playing the 4th line tonight on their “ICE CHIPS” page… he’s still a ‘Dog right? I never read about him being called up. BUT Steve Begin IS BACK BABY!

THE LAZY TEAM IS PLAYING!!!!!!
Leafs already scored on 2 PP attempts! we’re down 2-0!
Why do the habs play their WORST hockey against Toeonto?
Why didn’t the habs show up in the 1st period?
I don’t understand this team. They just had a WHOLE WEEK OF VACATION!
LAZY, LAZY, LAZY, bunch of losers!

If the Hab’s don’t skate, they are done. They are a small team with zero toughness. Their defense are a bunch of wimpy pussie’s. This team need’s some size and fucken toughness. When there’s a guy standing in Huet’s face, FUCKEN take the guy out.

I am the only one thinkink joshtm and WICKSTER is the same person.

Joshtm: May I ask you a question?

-where do you live (basement, house, apartment) and what residence?

- How old are you?

I was just wondering….

Hey Pactum stop your **** won’t you? This site is for Habs fans, not for fans of dumping on fans….

Definitely Montreal needs a real defense. With Carbo and Gainey not talking to each other, we’ll never get a real team. This is what happens when you get a rich American (Gilette) who doesn’t give a damn if Montreal wins or not, and a GM who is only too happy to take the big paycheck and doesn’t care to win neither, and a coach who shoulda gone selling cars instead of pretending to be a coach and taking his two bestest buddies as assistants…

Now, we’ve allowed 3 PP GOALS TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE TRADE SOURAY ASAP!!!! He is by far the worst defenceman in the league!
1) he takes penalties(1 tonight) while his team is on the PP
2) he passes the puck straight up the ice in his defensive zone, to the OPPOSITION!
We can’t beat leafs, no matter who is on this fuc@#$%^(&ing team!!!!!!
I’m sick of losing to leafs, and I’m sick of habs not showing up!!
Fire Carbo, because he can’t EVER get his team motivated!
How the hell do you give up 3 PP goals to leafs????????
absolutely disgusted with the habs. they STINK!!!!!

I have watched this team now and I can see why they can’t score 5-5. They don’t know how to set each other up. It’s futile. They get a 3-2 and they play to lose the puck…no shot on net. Go figure you can’t score. Samsonov looks out of place and all the lines are off-side or out of position….
No one is skating…the Leafs are and the score shows it.

Go back to basics…hit and stay in your position and skate going forward and back. The Leafs are getting the bounces but the Habs are sure helping them out. I have a feeling that Bob’s ready to pull the trigger on a trade.

I think Souray is gone. Especially if we can get quality in return. I’m hoping Samsonov’s going too and wouldn’t be too upset if Rivet went also.

Markov looks like **** and where is there anything positive, I have a hard time picking anyone from this game after 2 periods. That’s very sad…every part of the Habs game sucks tonight…especially all these stupid penalties…hard to be a fan of these players…Kovalev’s invisible too. Huet is left out to hang (remember Patrick Roy too suffered some of these types of games prior to moving on to Colorado). They have to win this third period, hit the Leafs and shoot on net…Come on! Go Habs Go!

Absolutley disgusting! The current Montreal Canadien team has no fucken fight in them at all. They got their ***’s kicked and I don’t just mean on the scoreboard.
Get in a fucken scrap take a run at someone do something to show some fight and heart. This is a gutless team you have Gainey
Call up Biron and O’Byrne get some size. Quit sitting on your fucken hand’s Gainey because the Hab’s well NOT make the playoff’s!

also, what bothers me, is the habs aren’t COMPETITIVE! they don’t give 100%.
Getting rid of Kovalev(because his non working ethics), will help. he is a CANCER! Samsonov is a total waste, and Souray can’t pass to his players, only to the opposition. This is just a bunch of MISFITS!

Now here you all go crapping all over the team with the same old bile (Souray must go, Samsonov sucks, Kovalev’s a cancer, blah blah blah). I HATE, repeat, HATE losing to the Leafs but I’m not going to **** all over these guys, they aren’t perfect… but I sure don’t see the same as you. I like Kovalev, he is talented and worth keeping, I like Samsonov but then again, I don’t expect 50 goals out of him, I like Craig Rivet, he’s always worked hard, I like Souray, Johnson, Downey, Aebischer and most of whom you don’t… oh well. BUT there is are some on this team, I’ve never wrapped my head around as to why they are still on this team… what is so great about Francis Bouillon? Why are Tomas Plekanec and whatever-his-first-name-is Perezhogin still on this team? Why do you all love Maxim Lapierre? AND WHY CAN’T YOU SEE HOW UTTERLY USELESS ANDREI MARKOV STILL IS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF WAITING FOR HIM TO BLOSSOM????? Again, all this team REALLY NEEDS IS SOME BLOOD AND GUTS HEART AND GRIT and here’s a beer to Bobby Gainey hoping he’ll find some players that emulate the kind of player he was, WHEN THE **** IS STEVE BEGIN COMING BACK??? ****, I hate the Leafs…

Hey ,if the LAFFS had their A team playing tonite, who knows what the outcome could of been??? …I just thought I’d beat the never say die guy’s with some stupid comment and get it out of the way.

HIGH 4 HABS:

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SOMEONE SAID WHAT I HAD TO SAY. ENOUGH SAID
JUST TO CLARIFY MYSELF, HABS ARE SLOW IN MAKING decisions. WOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!

It’s hilarious remembering the number of chances they had. Habs could have runned that game. They take more than an hour to make a frickin pass, and when they make it, it’s too late.

I’m sorry guys, but I think Joshtm has a point. Maybe our real problem is Carbonneau.(MAYBE………)

Remember he used to be a defensive player, and he was aquired so that he could bring a form of defensive play to this clu, but results are negative. Our defence suck and that makes our offence suck even more. C’mon let’s play as a team. We need some offence.

I want to make some poins out here:

1) Defencemen: stay where you are. you guys are not helping the offence. You know what they make me think off when they they try to play the role of offensive players while they cannot even manage to perform their own role at the first place?
They look like a worker tries to perform as a CEO.

2) Concerning offence: Make quick paces. Shoot the damn pucks. Do not even look at the goalie, JUST SHOOT THE DAMN PUCK !

3) Huet: Honestly, I have no complain aot him. A cool-temper person which makes him a great number 1 goalie. The team plays like ****, but the goalie still manages to calM his nerves. High five to Huet.

4) OB GAINEY: We do not need PETER FORSBERG. If you want to aquire a player, it will be one of the following: 1.Datsyuk 2.Lecavalier 3.Marleau(IMPOSSIBLE) 4. guys choose this one lol!( I DO NOT CARE WHAT THE PRICE WILL BE IN ORDERR TO ACQUIRE ONE OF THESE PLAYERS. I AM READY TO THROW MARKOV AND EVEN KOIVU IN THE PACKAGE)

If Habs follow the following instructions, they will be a much better team.

no wait…I take it all back. This is a well groomed team. The playmaking was excellent. The players back-checked didn’t give up any scoring opportunities. The shots that rang off the post were just aberations. The penalties and those from behind boarding (Souray) calls were the refs taking out their frustrations on the Leafs. They didn’t want to score on those short-handed situations because they have had too many already and wouldn’t want to show-boat and cause the Leaf fans more misery. The giveaways are not give-aways, the coaching staff has decided that it’s better to revert to shinny style of playmaking so the fans would appreciate a fun loving approach to hockey. It’s called the laisse-faire and come into our zone and make yourself at home. Come in front of our net and don’t worry because we’re going for the Bill Masterton trophy. This disciplined style with setting up each other and maintaining pressure on the other team is not the way to go….afterall, Bettman called in a favour asking the Habs to play uselessly for the remaining games as they used up all the points that they are allowed in the first half and now can only earn a point if they can in a shoot out format which means they can only get 1 point. The disciplined approach is too demanding and builds body odour and we can’t have smelly outfits as our membership with AVON is costing Gillette too much competition and we have to increase shareholders approval and we can only do this if we present a good clean non-chalant demeaner on the ice. Front office is now taking app’tments for picture with the players as it’s shown that fostering good relations gets extra points with the GM and coaching staff for a newly award…mellow&happy donated by the new Habs club (we’re taking on the Leafs moto – just happy to a Habs fan – love & happiness to all)and having clean non-hurt and non-scarred players is the key. Alright the Habs put on their skates and looked sharp with the uniform on and when they entered the dressing room after a beautiful effort of smooth sailing for 60 minutes, their equipment didn’t even need to be washed or hung to dry. They were well…good to go for next game…they were put quickly into fresh-smelled new equipment bags provided by the local AVON representative – goodwill from the new stance against smelly, hard-working, hitting, in your face type hockey that only goes against the very prestigious principles that AVON holds true. Yeah, the fans are cheering “That’s our team can you smell them, don’t you want their autographs!’ ‘Well, we sure do’ ‘Go Habs Go! The colours of the uniform are so pretty’ ‘That’s our team’ ‘We love them no matter what’ ‘Yeah our team’s the best’…..mmmm $%#$#$*

What a waste!!

I hate losing to Toronto more than anything, and why are the habs always the first team to allow the first goal!!!….Bob Gainey needs to sign more french players, thats the only way we’ll get another Stanley cup.

holy ****…a news report just in…

seems that Sammy-boy was miked today…and while the play was being reviewed by the booming shot of O’neal…he was overhead talking to (unconfirmed report that it might have been to Kovalev)…aaah yeah!…they think they’re giving up on me and that I have nothing left…at this moment in time video shows Sammy skating in his usual quick-darting in/out maneuvering with some effectiveness; getting closer to the Leaf bench and then yup, with precise & unrelenting technique….letting one go. I mean a big mother-of-a-one!! And the whole Leaf bench seemed to be swaying while trying to hold and catch their breadth…after further translation and clarification…

it is revealed Samsonov said, I’ll show them what I’ve got that’s worth 3.5 million…

It was revealed that security guards were able to catch some unsuspecting fans nearby from causing any sparks which would have caused another one of those Richard moments in the stands…excellent coverage by CBC.

WOW!!! i have the cure for all your frustrations. tell yourself quietly in your head “it’s only a game”. then walk away from the TV and go for a walk. seroiusly, i used to get all hot and angry when they lost. sure i have concerns for my favorite team. but to hear all this “WE SUCK” and “OUR TEAM IS ****” is getting real old. it’s making this website look bad and it’s getting stale. over it!!!!

WOW!!! habs phan, first of all,it’s FAN not PHAN,secondly,don’t u go blaming the FANS of HABS when they play like **** against a broken and injured bunch of ****-ups”LEAFS”and loose again badly,in front of the whole nation,proving they,”HABS”,****’N SUCK. We the FANS of the HABS bear no blame for our feelings and or opinions!!!

Thanks Izzy, I am still pissed at the HORRENDOUSLY PISS POOR EFFORT put out by the Habs against the Maple Duds. I heard Souray’s quote on TSN this morning. He is right on, BUT, why in HELL can’t they look in the mirror and actually DO something to stop bleeding? No desire you say Mr. Souray? That is a gross understatement to say the least!!

Need more french players? Please. What they need is for all the Europeans on the team to realise is that when they put on that sweater they are no longer Russian, Finnish, Swedish, Czech, or Swiss for the next 2 and a half hours, they are Montreal Canadiens and they’re playing their biggest rivals that always show up against MTL. Next time maybe they should just forfeit. It would be less embarrassing.

And they need more canadien boys period. Not just french canadians.

How the hell can we lose to the Leafs? You know all the Leafs fans will be rubbing it in my face today and for the next month until we play them again, anyone else in the same boat? Why do we always suck against the Leafs? We never play well against them, at least not this season. Last year we played well against them. Why can we beat Buffalo and Ottawa(not including that 8-3 blowout a couple of weeks ago) but not Toronto? We play with passion against those teams but not your most hated and bitter rivals? They even play well against the Bruins. Why is that? Are they ******* afraid of the Leafs or what? Is there an inferiority complex when it comes to the Laffs? What the **** is it when they play the Leafs? WHY? Some of you people try and help me out because I am out of answers here. However, let’s get ONE THING STRAIGHT HERE: THE HABS ARE BETTER THAN THE LEAFS. Souray even said so. They have shown they are the better team, just like they were last year. However, they don’t play to their potential against the Leafs. During those two games last year when the Canadiens won both games in Montreal in late March, they played with passion and emotion. They were fired up for those games, then why not this season? Give me some clues, guys!

Ziman

High 4 Habs, you are a moron, everybody better disregard his post before mine… Rebuild? Get rid of half the team? Koivu’s not a leader???? Let’s see you come back from cancer, you piece of ****, it’s a proven fact that the players in that dressing room, love, respect and would do anything for their captain, they have said so much so give your head a shake. And Ziman, I walked into my dressing room this morning for our Sunday skate (in Grand Valley, ONTARIO, Leaf COuntry) and they gave me the gears til I said “see you fuckers in the Playoffs” in half jest but all those Leaf fans all admit the Habs are the better team and the Leafs ain’t gonna be anywhere near a rink in April… and for the rest of you who say they suck and this and that… WELL GO CHEER FOR ANOTHER TEAM YOU SPINELESS ********, US “REAL” HAB FANS DON’T NEED YOUR PATHETIC BULLSHIT HERE, FROM WHAT I READ, NONE OF YOU KNOW **** ABOUT HOCKEY ANYWAY.

Is that you Douggie, are you smiler2729? Your pathetic attempts at saying you are a defensive coach sucks big time. This trap style hockey only works if your defense can actually clear the puck out of the zone. With Sheldon’s broken wrists, Markov’s drunken skating, and Rivet’s outta breath plays, heck its no wonder your rookie Dandy there is played over and out and Huet and Abby face a million quality shots. Heck even the basement teams can practice shooting on the habs net!

I split my post into 3 posts so it’s easier to read (some of you have no concept of using paragraphs). THIS is the WAY it is, BOB GAINEY is the General Manager, GUY CARBONNEAU is the Head Coach, SAKU KOIVU is the Captain, that is the way it is, that is the way it should be so to belittle them is stupid and basically shows how uninformed (some of) you people are. The team is talented and has the ingredients to be really succesful… I said ‘ingredients” BUT they lack heart and they lack soul lately, they will come around and be fun to watch in the Playoffs and most likely break our hearts because the expectations for this team are too great, a fan base spoiled by domination in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. Cut these guys and yourselves some slack or you’ll go crazy… cuz you’re making me crazy with the assinine posts.

right on smiler2729. Bring on the Sens!
