- 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

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!
