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?

- muller93 : MB is forced to go out and get a big D-man. Missing Emelin for almost half the season is the last thing we needed to hear. Now going out and getting a big D-man is a MUST!!!
- muller93 : Now for the Fu**en Bruins who have no business even being in the second round are going to get a nice rest. Yes the same goons who took out one of best D-man for 6 more months. There is NO Fu**en justice. Just venting--Ok i feel better now.
- muller93 : So pissed to see the Rangers lay down and play like total crap. How did the Rangers beat the Caps? This team is playing with no heart--a must win and can only muster 23 shots...PATHETIC !!!
- muller93 : Senet I did see Galchenyuks goal--Made a great move for the game winner. You can see the kid has so much confidence.
- goalie : If Rangers get swept I wonder if Tortorella will get his walking papers? Or Glen Sather? They have tons of 'talent' but zero wins in this series.
- goalie : It's really too bad we lost to the Sens as we would have played the Rangers and the way NYR are playing we would have beat them too. If only. If only!
- Senet1 : Actually I agree it was a good move for them to play a shorter season and get the experience. He could not have played in the minors this year he would have had to play junior or the NHL. However, he now has a year under him and knows what to expect next year and hopefully take a bigger responsibility on the team. Did you see those two goals in the bronze game? Wow.
- muller93 : Good move by the Habs not having Galchenyuk play in the minors. Now Galchenyuk has 1 year in the NHL and playoff experience this is going to pay off big time come next year.
- Senet1 : Galchenyuk scores to back to back goals in shoot out to help USA win Bronze metal. I did not see the second goal but the first was a beauty.
- Senet1 : So we could pick anywhere from 25th to 23rd depending on who wins these quarter final series.
- Senet1 : First, is the 14 teams in the lottery. Then there are 12 teams that did not make the semi finals in the order of the seasonal finish, Then there are the four teams in the semi final the first two eliminated pick in the order of the regular season points total and the last two based on who wins and who loses the cup. So as it stand now if say Detroit beats Chicago then Detroit moves up to pick after us. Boston or NYR will move up and pick after us. LA or San Jose will move up and pick after us
- Senet1 : Basically, I was wrong about the draft pick situation. There are three groups of drafting teams within the 30 teams.
- Senet1 : seriously ready to challenge for the cup. He will us win games but he will not be the difference between winning the cup and not winning the cup. You pick up players like that once you have the team ready to challenge,.
- Senet1 : I am looking at the players to draft and there are a lot of big 6'3-6'5 forwards available ion the draft this year. If we could draft 3-4 big young players in the 2nd and 3rd round why would you want to give that up for a roster player who may have 2-3 years at best. If we are going to build a winner to have to build it with bigger players and there are a lot of good big players available this year. So you sign Ott and he is with us for the short run, but probably not when we are seriously re
- Senet1 : Boullion is a great mentor for the young D-men
- muller93 : Boullion is one of MBs great additions--Boull ion is a definite Keeper.
- muller93 : Getting rid of Kaberle frees up a lot of cash. Boullion is small but is reliable and doesn't back down from anyone.
- muller93 : Exactly Goalie any thoughts on a punishing D-man?
- goalie : They;re showing determination adn skill vs Ducks and Blackhawks.
- goalie : REd Wings could turn out to be the surprise team of this year's playoffs!
- goalie : WE need to rid our team of Kaberle and Webber. Step two would be to then move Diaz. If we get that big d-man I believe that would push Boullion to # 7 on the chart. We'd then go with Georges, PK,Markov (to continue mentoring Ememlin) Tinordi as our starting six . THEN I'd be excited about our chances. We could then work on getting bigger forwards.
- goalie : I too would gladly give up a 3rd round pick for Ott- the type of player we sadly lack. AND if we could get one more rugged, expeienced defenceman it would help immensely.
- muller93 : Senet what you are saying makes sense but if we can get Ott for a 3rd round I'll take that all day.
- muller93 : MB should be looking at a big D-man first, even though I like our blue line with the addition of Tinordi. We need that insurance just in case one gets injured. Also I'm a firm believer in starting with the goalie first then-defense-for wards-and we already have good goalie. We have all noticed when we have the lead Price is tough to beat.
- Senet1 : So sometimes you have to sacrifice for one year or two to build that team in the draft. then add the finishing touches through FA and trades.
- Senet1 : Muller, Detroit is another good example. They have been in the hunt every year with good well balanced teams yet only one or two cups to show for it. However, they have built a team that has a chance every years for the last 10+ years. That is what I think we have a chance to do this year with a good draft. It reminds me of the habs teams of the mid 80 and 90's we built a team then with sold draft picks and won the cup twice during that time period. So sometimes you have to sacrifice a one
- muller93 : Very true Senet, you do need luck and we haven't had any luck it seems since the habs moved to the Bell Center. We had an incredible run in 2010 with some crazy goal tending from Halak. With Galchenyuk-Tinor di-Gallagher all in 1 year--not too bad, even with an early exit in the playoffs.
- Senet1 : Muller I guess we all have our own ideas, but there has never been too many times that were successful when they traded their draft picks away. We have a chance to build this team so we have a shot at winning the cup over the next 10 years. Even as good as Pittsburgh has been they have only won the cup once since Crosby and Malkin have been with the team. That is because you not only need great players but you need luck to win, but one thing about Pittsburgh they have a chance every year. The
- muller93 : Good point on Torres, he might be a liability. Torres has to tone it down a bit, but that's his game-very aggressive.
- goalie : Though I don't condone what Raffi Torres did - thos shows you how repeat offenders or near offenders are going to be treated. His hit was NOT illegal BUT what the rap sheet adn reputation Torres has he got severly punished. Lesson to be learned by OTHER players because Torres dopesn't learn fromk his mistakes.
- muller93 : Senet normally I would agree with you on not trading draft picks but we are not in a rebuilding stage. Sometimes draft picks can be a roll of the dice and it can take up to 3 years to be NHL ready. We have a good team and I agree with Stuo players like Clowe-Torres-Ott -Scott will make a big difference. Somebody has to protect Gallagher, he can't keep getting hit the way does--we need a tough forward so they think twice before going after Gallagher.
- Senet1 : Really a heathly Habs team would probably win more games against the Pens that we did against the Sens. Reason they Pens would not play as physical against us as against the Sens. If we get good goaltending we win at least two games.
- zpezada4ok : hello all «link»
- stuo11 : hes a tougher big guy too! Just a minor adjustment but will help a bit
- stuo11 : hes better than markov, and hes french who was in mention for defenceman of the year

March 20, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Komi is hurt this could be bad!!
Bruins are hitting hard tonight …
March 20, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Kovalev the Great…WOWSERS….
March 20, 2008 at 8:46 pm
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!!!!
March 20, 2008 at 10:11 pm
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.
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.
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.
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?
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 !!
March 21, 2008 at 3:46 pm
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.
March 21, 2008 at 5:01 pm
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.
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.
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 !!
March 21, 2008 at 5:50 pm
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?
March 21, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Though you’d want to protect a player, does Kovy see it that way?
March 21, 2008 at 6:05 pm
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.
March 21, 2008 at 7:15 pm
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.
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.
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.”
March 21, 2008 at 7:31 pm
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.
March 21, 2008 at 11:09 pm
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.
March 22, 2008 at 10:47 am
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
March 22, 2008 at 3:33 pm
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.
