- goalie : Any thoughts out there? I watched the Oilers - Red Wings. THAT was excitement.
- Senet1 : Gomez Buyout cap hi Scott Gomez buyout from CapGeek.com ◦ 2012-13: $3,523,810 ◦ 2013-14: $4,523,810 ◦ 2014-15: $1,666,667 ◦ 2015-16: $1,666,667 t.
- Senet1 : Well I never thought he would see February but here we are and he is still there. The problem is and most people are like this they hate to admit that they made a mistake. A mistake of hiring PG.
- goalie : Habs MUST announce that PG is fired well before the trading deadline. The trouble is is that we know we have to change players, we have a lame GM and the new GM coming in will then inherit players that Gauthier gets. FIRE his ass now! I am wondering, do Molson's know how to run an organization. Doesn't seem like it to me at this time.
- HabsLoseAgain : Keep it french and keep it real lol
- HabsLoseAgain : PG must be blowing jeff molson hard if he still has a job at this point.
- HabsLoseAgain : Ans just think guys PG is gonna lead us to the trade deadline bahahahaha Scary eh?
- goalie : One could go on adn on about our woes. Get in a new GM whow knows what it takes to win in the NHL (that would be size, skating and puck control Pierre)and try step by step to rebuild. and ... with a new coaching staff also.
- goalie : Nice to see you also look at the stats as they don't usually lie. Unfortunately the |Gomez contract absolutely tied the GM's hands. We essentially have a cap of $7 M bveloew the other teams as Gomez may as well be tanning in Mexico. Gionat has NOT been a successful captain. Gill is aging (but at leats he gives 100%) Campoli adn Kaberle have not played as wella s I thought they would.
- Senet1 : We need to draft a couple of star forwards who can score and become game breakers. It is hard to get these types of players in trades although Parise is available, so is Bobby Ryan. There is 60 goals a year. Gomez has now gone a full year without scoring a goal. So how much is that $7+ M per goal. So $7M divided by 0 is zero. So you see math does not lie. That is pretty good stat???????
- Senet1 : You cannot win games unless with a team like this unless all 20 players I playing well. Even if you have 20 players playing well they still need guidance from the coaches.
- Senet1 : PK played a H_ell of a game today Eller played well but had two wingers that were pretty useless on his line. To me there are a lot of positives on this team, put when you do not have any super star scorer like most teams then you need to play as a 20 man team.
- Senet1 : We I have to disagree a little, I admit things do not look good, but until the second goal we were outplaying them but not finishing anything, when you look how hard some of the guys were working in the corners to get the puck out front and when they did no body was there to shoot it or deflect it. I thought that our #1 line played really well but when a team only has to worry about shutting down one line it usually is easy. Budia played well, could not fault him on any of the goals. PK played
- goalie : is sinking!!!
- goalie : ...and that boat
- goalie : In other years there would be lots of partivipants on this blog. Our team's performance this season has been a total turn-off even for the bloggers. Mark my words.... we will NEVER know but I would bet my last cent that it will not be easy to sign a new coach in Montreal. This franchise is in deep deep trouble. Ther eare essentially no good veternas to build around, so we;re going to have to try and build using 20 year olds. Oilers tried that and were a complete failure. We're in the same boat
- goalie : Can anyone come up with anything positive about our perforance today? I honestly cannot!
- goalie : Even laayers like Cole, Pacs. Bourque seemed totally frustrated today. What we are seeng is the result of poor management over the past 5 or so seasons. The job wasnt dopne now we have a team that is probably the easiest team in the NHL to play against!
- goalie : At least Deharnais is trying BUTR he is not and never will be a number 1 or even 2 center. When he goes up gainst bigger players he simply can't get anything done offensively. Thisis not to question his effort!
- Senet1 : Basically we have one line and Washington was able to shut them down. We need a game breaker, even the other worse teams in the league have a game breaker we do not. Someone to bury the puck.
- Senet1 : If you can score goals then eventually the defence and goalies will take care of the other end.
- Senet1 : We need to go after goal scorers I would rather lose a game 6-5 and 1-0.
- Senet1 : Well if you cannot score which has been our problem all year you cannot win games.
- Mats Naslund : sorry - on replay he didn't touch the puck - which is an issue as well, but still as soft as can be in his own end. terrible play that probably does it.
- Mats Naslund : BRUTAL giveaway by Kaberle kills the game.. soft as tissue.
- Mats Naslund : Cole - dangerous shot.. but blocked again.
- Mats Naslund : 18 blocks for WAS today.. all offense has been pretty chippy.
- Senet1 : On the day before the trading deadline, I would put Gomez on waivers and see if someone selects him.
- Senet1 : Oh better coaching and better attitude with some of the players. Some players like Plekanec seem to be working hard but not accomplishing anything.
- Senet1 : Itn't it amazing how a coach has turned that team around. At one time Montreal had more points than they did. I have said it all year, if we could get a coach who could get these guys playing as a team we are a lot better team than we are showing. That is why I do not think that we have to do a lot to turn this team around, it is a matter of better scoring and better defensive systems 5-5. Lets face it you do not have a real bad defence when you have the top PK in the league. The kids are mat
- goalie : In our rebuilding for nect year the FIRST things I would work toward is a new power play alignment - even if that means trading a guy like Plex. We need layers who can control the puck and do that thing called score. Then we go from there. Our PP has been the basis of player frustration that has now grown to virtually every apsect of the game.
- goalie : Unfortunately for Budaj that was the correct call. Great save. Gomez must be totally embarrassed just like his play has been for the past year.--Yes the Blues are better than the Habs because they are COACHED BETTER not because they have vastly better talent.
- Mats Naslund : no shots on that powerplay - if you can call it that.
- Mats Naslund : 2 more chances after a brutal PP but they are blocked again.
- Mats Naslund : More plekanec on the point?? come on!

The Lighting play out of St.Petersburg. Why is the team called Tampbay Lighting?
Where does The Panthers play out of?
December 27, 2007 at 7:56 pm
Sunrise, Florida. I think.
December 27, 2007 at 8:00 pm
Well well,I see the Habs are in Florida”suntanning,swimming,beachbumming,cheaking out the curves”relaxing like they do while playing HOCKEY!!!!And what’s with Carbo sitting Chipcura and playing Ryder”coach has taken way too many pucks in the head” ,what kind of system is it that when you SUCK you get to play and when your a first year,+1 forward who is playing well then you get the press box???That is so GOOFEY CARBO!!!!YOU NEED ONE OF THOSE COACHING FOR IDIOTS BOOKS BUDs!!!lol
December 27, 2007 at 8:23 pm
Your silly if you think Ryder is in any new plans…he’s got to be shipped and that means displaying whatever gifts he has…right now that’s not too good.
Besides, the team has to clobber Tampa Bay as they have either Vinny or Richards or St. Louis and the Canadiens could/should be exploring any potential trades with them. Could see Ryder Huet combo for a Lecavalier or St. Louis and a throw-in (maybe backup goalie)…in the near future. Hope so anyways. Go Habs Go!
December 27, 2007 at 8:40 pm
How about displaying Ryder at the edge of the Grand Canyon and then give him a push,lol
December 27, 2007 at 8:59 pm
I like that one, xtrahabsfan. Ha ha ha! good one. yes, Ryder only playing to be displayed for a trade to any team for a bag of pucks, because that’s all he’s worth.
December 27, 2007 at 11:18 pm
They were on fire tonight and Ryder still managed to end up a -2. Ryder, Huet and that sloppy O’Byrne to Tampa for Lecavier!
December 27, 2007 at 11:57 pm
You guys are smoking some bad dope if you think Tampa Bay is ever going
to trade Vinny for a couple minor leaguers, even if Huet is included that
is not going to make the trade happen. You can dream, but it is quite unrealistic.
December 28, 2007 at 12:01 am
O’Byrne has got to use his size and weight out there!!!!! He looks lost a lot out there. Ryder still can’t do anything..other then them I think they played pretty well. Not a perfect game (last few min.) but over all they played a pretty good road game..Look out for a collapse in the Florida game tomorrow(HOPE NOT)…GO HABS GO
December 28, 2007 at 12:01 am
Your a SICK *** to even joke about pushing someone over a cliff.
December 28, 2007 at 12:08 am
The Habs will have to give up a lot for that to happen. Habs do not have what TB would be looking to get for Vinny. The only one I could see the Habs get would be Richards. But still is not what the fans want. There probably will be a trade soon but not what we all want and if it is for any of the players that Habs fans are after don’t get mad at what BG. has to give up for him…
(WE PRETTY MUCH ALL HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR A TOP CENTER AND WE WILL HAVE TO GIVE UP A BLUE CHIP OR TWO TO GET IT).
December 28, 2007 at 12:38 am
once and for all: ANYONE WHO THINKS WE WOULD EVER GET LECAVALIER IS A TOTAL IDIOT! IT’S NEVER EVER EVER GOING TO HAPPEN! GIVE IT UP!
December 28, 2007 at 12:41 am
Like I said we do not have what they want…. The only way to get Vinny is when his contract is up and even then it wont happen…..
December 28, 2007 at 1:23 am
DTD ,how do you know he didn’t have a lanyard on”bundge”,lol.Anywho you have made your despleasure known,NOW GO GET LAYED and SMOKE A FATTY !!!LOL
December 28, 2007 at 1:54 am
I’d be willing to throw Koivu and Huet to Tampa along with Ryder for Lecavier – that sounds like a realistic offer to me. Tampa needs a number one man in nets and Koivu fills the hole that Vinny would leave better then most. Saku is having a tough time really getting going this year and, while Price still needs some work, he would more then do as our number one.
December 28, 2007 at 4:28 pm
why can’t they put ryder on the powerplay since we know he can’t play defence, or play and up and down system where he has a player play defense for him, maybe then he’ll get going
December 28, 2007 at 9:15 pm
Ryder is playing well tonight.. Maybe a boost of confidence will do him good..
Reminds me of the clamor to trade the “Slow” Portuguese guys.. Maybe the decision makers are the slow ones.. Yes Ryder has his defensive struggles.. Maybe some real coaching would help.. And a little confidence..
Sorry I like the guy..
December 28, 2007 at 9:23 pm
huet is #1.The guys play with more confidence with huet in nets.
December 28, 2007 at 9:25 pm
Yeah I agree, but with only a one year contract maybe the writings been on the wall from the beginning of the season. He’s been a streaky player, but the fair trade value on him (considering the contract situation) is a low first round pick. To achieve that we have to play him, get him some stats, he needs pp time.
December 28, 2007 at 10:22 pm
Kovalev sucks on the PP lately. He gave up the puck 3 times on the 4 min PP tonight..
December 28, 2007 at 11:24 pm
It has been fun in florida.go habs go.
December 28, 2007 at 11:52 pm
Two wins in Florida and 7 out of a possible 10 points on the christmas road trip……………………….and Ryder scored a goal! Ladies and Gentlemen hell has indeed frozen over. Although I loved that “I’m so smart” self-satisfied look on Carbo’s face after Koustopolous scored the fourth goal. Kinda funny
December 29, 2007 at 12:27 am
A great holiday present for all Habs fans,hell even Ryder scored”that won’t happen for another 15 games”Gooooo Habs!
December 29, 2007 at 1:01 am
They were out shot AGAIN but all in all a good road trip thus far. O’Byrne starting to use he size a bit more tonight GOOD TO SEE .Maybe the turning point of the season and for Ryder…. lets hope so. GO HABS GO
December 29, 2007 at 3:21 am
Ryder looked very good today, hopefully that sticks. 3-1-1 now on this road trip with a planned tromping in New York on Sunday
December 29, 2007 at 9:22 am
Trade Price, Ryder and someone else.(fill in blank)O for Lecavalier or Ovechkin..that’s right I said it>? Why ? Cause Huet is a freakin superstar and would be twice as good if he played ALL the games..his save percentage is nearly tops in the leage..that is the only true stat which tells you how good your goalie is…he is outshot everygame and he rarely if ever lets in more than 2 goals and his % is always 930 or over…he;s another allstar, who is 31..not 40 which means he is in his prime and could be a star for another 5-6 years!..we don;t need Price…we have a reliable back up in halak….Be realistic….in order yo get that superstar power forward we all know we need..we have to be prepared to give up someone huge!…I love price but hes young and unproven in the nhl….but Huet is a superstar//so play his *** all the time,, bring up halak and offer price to get the superstar we always dreamed…of…many of you will call me crazy but it’s time we played for the “now” (next 3 years) instead of the future..i don’;t care how good price will be….we arne’;t gonna win a cup building around him with the clowns we have up front
December 29, 2007 at 11:55 am
Price wouldn’t be enough for either of those 2.
December 29, 2007 at 11:56 am
oh, and where are all the haters?
December 29, 2007 at 1:31 pm
Iceburg14, in order to get Lecavalier or OVECHKIN ,we would have to give up
rice,Higgins,Saku and Komasarik and throw Ryder in just to sweetin the pot.
December 29, 2007 at 6:07 pm
O’Byrne out with a broken thumb. He was sent back to Montreal today.
December 29, 2007 at 9:57 pm
Toronto is being blown away by NYR tonight. yahoo!
December 30, 2007 at 1:32 am
And Ottawa took a crazy loss to Washington – good for us, we just need to stomp the Rangers tomorrow!
December 30, 2007 at 2:04 am
Tampa isn’t going anywhere without goaltending…they have to be interested. I don’t think it would cost that much. Mind you Patrick Marleau in San Jose is a sleeper…Ryder might be the right bait.
Also, Washington would be looking for some draft picks and goaltending help. The Rangers are coming around…wonder which Habs team will show up.
I also think that Koivu would be better off some where else and shipping him and Ryder might be the right mix to bring in a top forward and draft picks.
Besides got to give the young guns the time and space to play and shine. That’s why we got them. So give them the opportunity. Let’s go….keep it up and press forget the lay back and let them keep coming. Teams like Ottawa, Carolina, Anaheim, NJersey and Detroit will eat them alive. Go Habs Go!
December 30, 2007 at 2:56 am
don’t trade koivu hes been a solid player on this team for the past 12 years.
and great game last night scoring from every line !
December 30, 2007 at 12:28 pm
Ithink it’s time to trade Kovalev while he’s having a very good season along with Ryder and Huet.There’s good trade bait there FOR A GREAT BIG POWER FOWARD.
December 30, 2007 at 1:06 pm
Lets win against Newyork and go farther away from toronto and Boston in the standings. Last year we sucked in the middle of the season and this year we have two good wins after christmas and lets keep it going!
