I could go for a Buffalo Burger tonite.

Lets go Price get your first Shutout Kid..

Lets go Ryder score a couple, two or three goals and shut up those bahsers..

Lets go boys. Lets go.

Sabres fans more annoying than Ottawa fans?? Let alone Leafs fans??? Thats a strong statement..but I have no idea what Buffalo fans are truly like…I’m sure they’re walkin around with the tail between their legs theses days though with their record…I’m a Habs fan in Ottawa…and this rink has the worst atmosphere and location (WAYYYY out in Kanata); I’ve pretty well stopped going to games there…

Let’s have a huge game tonight Price!! This guy is our future for sure, I’ve decided he is the name to go on the back of my sweet new Habs RBK jersey I got this year!!

GO HABS GO!!!

I seem to remember that Ruff out-coached Carbonneau each game last year…

How come when Huet loses a game by playing “well” but not “amazing” and we lose. vey idiot blames him and says he sucks…morons! then we he steals another game we had no business winning, like many we won over the last 2 years, no one says a word about him and Price

Why is price starting tonight????? This is exactly why Huet is not as consistent as we want him to be….what other teamhas a goalie with a g.aa of 2.00 and a sv prcentage of 9.37 and only starts him half the games????? what is wrong with carbo?

y’know this talk about bashers….enough already…!!!

The way to fix that whole discussion is to give 100%. Sure we the fans will still be pissed if we lose but then it’ll be a management thing. Right now, it feels (don’t get me wrong, it’s a different team than last year’s), the Habs have been in all their games for the most part, like we have a better team but we aren’t all pulling in the same direction. Sort of like working on 3 cylinders at any one time yet we have 6 cylinders. The main key is the goaltending and on most night it’s been stellar. Knock it off with Huet, there was a time when we had Dryden & Larocque and the Canadiens had offensive power to boot and they were matched to provide great tandem. So here we are just at the brink….we know where this can go we’ve been there far too often. I just wish the team played a solid performance. Man to man take out a complete check, set each other up and shoooooooot! Y’know it’s about the third game later….y’know Kovalev has one good game and then he’s invisible for the next three. I think we might see him tonight. As far as Ryder goes we need to bring two guys with energy to open space and get him the puck. Of course he’s got to shoot on net when the opportunity presents itself. So can we win these two games – yes! Are we?, that depends on whether we work on three, four, or six cylinders. The reason Buffalo is progressively better is that they have speed and get under the other team’s skin and eventually they bang the puck in. So eliminate this by counter attacking none of this laid back dump out and watch them come back…ala Ottawa game. This is where Carbonneau needs to shake his head and motivate the guys to go after the other team and become the pests/shakers to cause errors and take advantage. Come on…let’s go….!!!

@MR Big Time.

Let me describe a Sabres fan to you. You can never question their dedication, because they always think that their team is going to win the cup, regardless of how bad they are doing. And you can’t talk hockey with them because besides knowing a few superstars, they only know their team. They have no idea how other teams are doing. They don’t understand how the game is played they blame the fact that they haven’t won a cup in 37 years on “bad luck.” Unlike a Sens or Leafs fan you can’t talk hockey with them, because they think the NHL has only one team.
I’d rather live in Florida where at the people admit they know nothing about hockey
If you want to understand the over enthusiasm of Buffalo listen to the Sabres radio at NHL.com. Then imagine someone who doesn’t announce hockey for a living and knows less talking.

It was not the penalty that cost them this game. It was the Stupid *** D-men. 4 Habs D-men could not move one Buffalo player away from the net come on. The D-men were the blame for all goals.

Price did a great job again tonite only for the D-men to blow it for him.

The Habs from last year are back. Win one loose one. Win one loose one.

The habs will not put together a winning streak of no more than 2 games for the rest of the year. Mark my words. The 9th place team is back….

Ya I agree, we need some goal scorers that score ,fighters that can fight, and D men that can control the action or we will get cooked,sad but true……

here’s an interesting stat: in the last 42 road games, dating back to last December, Koivu has only 1 goal! that tells you a little bit about our so called 1st line. It is not a 1st line. Until that issue is resolved, and we get a power forward with scoring ability to put on the 1st line, this broken record will continue.
In their last 10 games, the habs are 5 and 5. They’re playing only 500, win one, lose one scenario. Playing 500 the rest of the season, won’t get you into the playoffs, and this team, without changes, won’t get the job done. Reality is starting to set in. Sorry hab fans, but the smooth ride is about to get real bumpy.

so what’s the answer? We all know Gainey won’t be fired, but if the habs fail to make the playoffs, Carbo is gone. He’s not a great coach, but let’s face it. Gainey didn’t give him much to work with. I think until players around the league want to play here, we’ll have this stalemate. It requires some aggressive action from the Gillett on down. Let’s see how it will play out.

You know last year I was pretty hard on KOVALEV,it was frustrating to see the most dominating and talented hockey player be so mediocre.I am so corrected by the Kovalev this year,good on you man, you go dude. So what I am trying to say is ,for a guy that’s been around for a while , you still impress me dude,NOT EASY TO DO!!!!

Habs2bfan how many assists does koivu have in those 42 games? probably at least 35-40.
