Domination

  • The Habs have dominated the Bruins in every sense of the word this season. The domination even stretches back a few years including 1st round playoff upsets on more than one occasion.

    At what point will that streak end?

    You’d have to believe at this point of the season the Bruins are going to come out with something to prove. Considering the Bruins and Habs are a very likely 1st round playoff series, they have even more reason to ‘show up’.

    Can the Habs really go 7-0 against Boston? 8-0? ….Maybe 12-0?

    Anybody know what kind of injury Komisarek has?
    I hope it’s not serious. we can’t afford to lose him or ANY amount of time

    March 20, 2008 at 9:18 pm

    Last game..no hits, no fights,no win… now see what you get when you HIT, FIGHT< you win!
    This may be a God send that Komi is hurt..the BIRON OF BEEF IS COMING!!!!

  14. #14 Ice Man says:

    Halak should get the start Saturday.

    Don’t want Price to get runned and hurt. The Bruins know that they may play the Habs in the first round. They need to take out the Better Goalie.

  15. #15 STUO11 says:
    March 20, 2008 at 10:58 pm

    If Komi does go down I hope Biron goes in, but don’t be hoping Komi is out just to see biron.

  16. #16 STUO11 says:
    March 21, 2008 at 9:22 am

    And does anyone know how bad Komisarek’s injury is? It doesn’t really look that bad because he was on for another shift after the injury.

  17. #17 Rubberman says:
    March 21, 2008 at 12:56 pm

    QUestion:
    Does Carbo have something against Kovalev? Why wouldn’t he put him out in the last minute to reward him with a possible hat trick?

  18. #18 Don Carnage says:
    March 21, 2008 at 3:01 pm

    Why question what the coach does all the time? Maybe he did not want him to beheaded by a goon in the last few minutes, seeing as Boston needs to win Saturday and Kovy is the Bruins killer, so just maybe the coach figured its better for Kovy to not be on the ice for the last final assult… who would have thought huh …

    GO HABS GO !! GO HABS GO !!

    Sportsnet.ca — The Montreal Canadiens could be without bruising defenceman Mike Komisarek for the second half of their home-and-home series with the Boston Bruins on Saturday.

    Komisarek did not skate with the team in practice on Friday. The team’s hit- and shot-blocking specialist left Thursday night’s game and did not return after getting hit by Milan Lucic of the Bruins. The Canadiens would only specify that it was a lower-body injury.

    Hey Don Carnage i could’nt agree more with you. Would it be worth it to throw your best player on the ice with less then a minute to go and watch him be taken out by a cheap shot? We had the game in the bag and at this point in the season we cant afford to take risks with our best player. Just take a look at how boston ran price and all the other **** boston was throwing are way in the third. Carbo made the right move keeping kovy on the bench.

  21. #21 jack hab says:
    March 21, 2008 at 5:06 pm

    We beat a cheap, desperate team last night. Just what the doctor ordered to shake the
    Blues away.

  22. #22 Don Carnage says:
    March 21, 2008 at 5:15 pm

    And if Komi is out for the short term it is not a problem either, he needs the rest to be honest, he has looked tired as of late.. we are gonna be fine , i have said it all year …

    In Bob we trust !

    GO HABS GO !! GO HABS GO !!

    Number “8″ is both a psychological and a physical WALL to each and every NHL team!!!

    Komi, have a good break, but come back soon.

    P.S. Is Sheldon Souray ** still playing in NHL? :)

  24. #24 Rubberman says:
    March 21, 2008 at 5:51 pm

    Though you’d want to protect a player, does Kovy see it that way?

    Gone are the days of outcries for the trading of Kovalev. Good.

    I watched Alex in Pittsburgh, and I said it all along, all he needs is the right motivation and he’s among the most dangerous offensive threats in the league… consistently.

    The Habs should complete the sweep of Boston on Saturday but the Senators still concern me. A win against them all but secures second place while a loss could ultimately knock the Habs down two or three spots. Needless to say, two huge games coming up.

    As to the notion that the Habs ‘can’t win at home’, I disagree. They’re five games over .500 at home, which isn’t exactly a losing record. I think they simply need to adopt their road game mentality at the Bell Centre, stop trying to ‘wow’ the fans so much and they’ll have more success.

    Kovlev has become a team player, something he has not been last year or before in montreal, as a team player he understands the coaches decides, I think Carbo did the right thing. You cannot loose one of your best defencement and your #1 offensive threat and be very successful.

  27. #27 Senet 1 says:
    March 21, 2008 at 7:17 pm

    Those of you who think the Blues were such a bad team, well they just about beat Ottawa too they got the breaks against us and did not get then against Ottawa, many times that is the difference between winning and loosing.

  28. #28 Senet 1 says:
    March 21, 2008 at 7:28 pm

    Hey Rubberman, her is a quote from Carbo. I would suggest that KOVY understands.

    If he (Kovalev) doesn’t have any votes for MVP, I will be really upset,” Canadiens coach Guy Carbonneau said. “We are at the top of the conference and he is a big part of it.”

  29. #29 Senet 1 says:

    I have always enjoyed a team that skates fast, hits hard and fights when it is necessary to support their team. Fighting has always been part of the game and in my opinion should remain part of the game, however, we need people who fight when it does not put the game the team at a disadvantage.

    A lot of hard games coming up. Boston isn’t going to lay down and play dead at the Bell Center. Their in 8th place right now and they want to win .. Big time. The pressure is on them to keep a playoff spot, not the Habs. All the Habs got to do is play well and keep the pressure on. This is a must win game for Boston, which means they are going to play hard all game and not just 1, 2 or 3 periods. All past wins against Boston mean nothing, as this is “new” game. The Canadiens need to shoot more against most teams and stop trying to setup that perfect play goal. When you shoot the puck hard at the net, it just might go. Oh and they (Habs) got to stay out of the box.

    Hey guys, does anyone have any info about Kovy’s new instructional video? I think it comes out on April 1…..but does anyone know where you can get your hands on one? Remembering I’m in Newfoundland.

  32. #32 hablifer says:
    March 22, 2008 at 12:11 pm

    huge huge loss! will prevent habs from getting out of the 1st round! he was our only hitter! we were soft with him in the lineup… now forget it!
    teams will take liberties like crazy. And if they put in Breezecrap, you’ve just opened the floodgates for goals in our net!

  33. #33 hablifer says:
    March 22, 2008 at 12:12 pm

    I was talking about the loss of Komisarek. He’s out for a minimum of 3 weeks! killer!

  34. #34 hablifer says:
    March 22, 2008 at 12:23 pm

    Komisarek out 3 weeks, and Latendresse out for tonight’s game. the bruins will hit us at will tonight, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the bruins finally win tonight! they must be licking their chops knowing our only 2 big bodies aren’t playing. Remember, we don’t play well at home, at lost our last home game to the mighty Blues! and the Sens on Monday? Neil is back in their lineup, so look out!

  35. #35 Joseph says:
    March 22, 2008 at 1:51 pm

    I wouldn’t push the panic button just yet. The Habs should still win this game, and Komisarek will hopefully be back in time for the games that truly matter anyway.

    I agree, these injuries will show us if our team can dig down deep and play a strong defensive game. Don’t be surprised in Brisebois gets a goal or two. His problem is he does not play with intensity and therefore makes mental errors. Hopefully he will have his A game in place along with a number of other players who will have to step up to the plate. These injuries could be the best thing that could happened to the team as long as they are back for the playoffs.

Senet1 and 5 guests are online.
  • rocky : So long.
  • Senet1 : Good discussion rocky, I have to step out for an hour, but may be back later.
  • Senet1 : The only way this team comes back to a team with long term potential is to draft a game breaker. Even all the other bad teams have a Stamkos or a player like him. He have some good player so what we need is a Malkin that we can count on 80% of the time to win a game for us.
  • rocky : I mean winning will only do them harm that is.
  • rocky : It really hurts because my reflexes make me want to cheer like mad, but it will only hurt the team now.
  • Senet1 : Yes I have mixed feeling when watching the game. Last night I say here we go again. with our record of shoot losses I did not expect to win that one. Yet I wanted to win real bad?????
  • rocky : God, so horrible to sit and hope for losses, but here we are.
  • Senet1 : Our problem is we play one out of every 4 games good and therefore, we play well enough to stay on the borderline of a top five pick. If we win three or four in a row we could take ourselves right out of the running.
  • rocky : I would love to get two of those players for sure.
  • rocky : Subban , would bring a #1 IMO, but not top five for sure. You may be right, but it seems unrealistic at this stage. The way we are playing makes a top 5 pick seem likely.
  • Senet1 : well if I thought I could get two of the top five juniors that have the potential to play in the NHL next year I would go for it. We are talking two potential super stars, something we have not had up front since Lefleur.
  • Senet1 : well you may have to add a 2nd rounder or a player like Weber or even AK46, I think Subban would bring a #1 but not sure at top 5 pick.
  • rocky : Maybe Plekanek, Moen, and Gill? Seems like a lot to give up though. A hard wedge to chisel.
  • rocky : I agree with that as well, I just do not think Plekanek will get a big return based on his season. He is still a good player though.
  • rocky : I am not is favour of that of course.
  • Senet1 : Some say who would you currentl use for your second line centreman, well we have both Leblanc and Eller that are cabable and with extra ice time they both should improve.
  • rocky : I see what you mean, but I do not think we have the player to trade for a #1 pick unless it is Price.
  • Senet1 : If I thought I could get anothr #1 pick I would trade Plekanecs and whatever to the team to get that extra pick.
  • rocky : understandable
  • rocky : I do not believe it is possible for a tender to stop that move when properly executed, it should be banned but that is just my opinion. Many like the flashiness of it, which is understadable.
  • Senet1 : It is hard for a goaltender to stop that move as long as the player has the skill to pull it off. Cole said the only way to stop it would be to trip the shooter. Wonder if that is legal?
  • rocky : Yeah, the future starts now, that is for sure.
  • rocky : Well, there sure are a lot of them. I myself think that one is not fair.
  • Senet1 : The top 5 picks all look very good, it would be great to make a trade and get two of them.
  • Senet1 : I for one did not know the spin or rama rule, it was always my understanding that the puck had to maintain a forward motion. obviously the spin o rama move the puck has stopped its forward motion. Even Price and Budaj when interview did not know that part of the rule. That is why before I disagree with someone I look up the rule. Like you I do not know all the rules.
  • rocky : Lets get back to that. I sure like the look of that #1 ranked draft pick right now.
  • goalie : Folks we're ALL good to go. We want our \Habs to do well adn it has been a very disappointing season. Howeve the blog lives on ands we all hope that our team is ablt to play well for the rest of the season whilst beginning the long process of rebuilding our team and NHL reputation.
  • rocky : I also think they should make that type of goal illegal, but that is another matter. Thank you senet, yes when you watch the replay you must understand that under the current rules the goal is good. FINALLY someone gets it.
  • Senet1 : Okay Rocky you have redeemed yourself at least with me.
  • Senet1 : In slow motion if you watch Malkin he has some continuous motion therefore the goal counts. When I first saw the goal live it appeared to me that Malkin stopped his motion at the corner of the net and therefore I questioned the goal, however, in watching it on the replay he does not come to a complete stop before he starts his spin so the goal is good.
  • rocky : That was a good goal and that is all there is to it. Mats was wrong. People can be wrong it is ok. I did not know that Markov being on the disabled list did not effect the salary cap. I was mistaken. See, I can say it and still draw breath.
  • Senet1 : It is obvious people get the first part of the this rule and forget the second part of the rule.The first part of the rule says the puck must be in continuous motion towards the net, at the time of the spin the puck is not going toward the net, however, the player stays in motion then the puck is deemed to have forward progress and therefore the goal counts.
  • rocky : There you go Senet. Thank you for settling that matter once and for all.
  • Senet1 : THE RULE #24:The puck must be kept in motion towards the opponent’s goal line and once it is shot, the play shall be considered complete. The spin-o-rama type move where the player completes a 360° turn as he approaches the goal, shall be permitted as this involves continuous motion.
  • rocky : The funny thing is that goal, and that game did not matter in any way whatsoever.
