Lets see, 7-2 sounds about right. Goals by Souray, Higgins, Ryder, Kovalev, and others.

Well JT the leafs have this wierd way of stealing a game in our building. Remember last year we were up 4-3 and the Laffs got a fluke goal that bounced over the back of the net and hit Theo in the back and went in. Then we got a too many men penalty in OT and lost. BUT NOT TONIGHT!!!!!!!!

We are going to cream those suckers. This is the night the nation gets to see our true colours.

You mean Theodore couldnt stop the puck even if they shot it from, like, behind the net?

there is a bad trend developing with habs. this is the 3rd consecutive home game that we have allowed the opposition to score 3 first period goals! remember last saturday: Colorado scored 3 goals against us in the first period; Buffalo scored 3 first period goals against us; tonight the leafs scored 3 first period goals; very bad trend. you can’t win games allowing 3 goals in the first period. NO DEFENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!NO DEFENCE!!!!!! NO DEFENCE!!!!!I counted so many giveaways by our defencemen(if you can call them that!) I think we should call them defenceLESS men! Our defence is our problem, not the offence! You just can’t keep giving away the puck. It’s not as though we don’t have the chance to clear the puck! poor choices, and lack of ability to clear. It’s a pleasure to watch a well disciplined, good defensive and offensive team like Buffalo. We aren’t in the same echilon. They are in a different league. They are the haves, and we are the have nots! We won’t go anywhere with this defence! Also, we take too many penalties! Right now we are in the top 3 % in the amount of power play goals allowed, but trust me! that won’t last. If you continue to give the opposition 6 or more power plays, it catches up with you. I would be very surprised if Carbo lasts the year as coach. His lack of experience will cost him his job.(not his fault). Hitchcock would be a superior coach, or maybe Larry Robinson!

tonight we have been totally dominated by the leafs! outshot, outplayed, outskated, totally! Again, we didn’t show up!!! Why not?We’re only a few games into the season, and too many games, we’re just not in the game! We can’t be tired, the season just started! What is going on? why have our defenceless defencemen disappeared? Carbo-GO AND GET SOME D MEN! WE HAVE NONE!!!!!!!!!!What a pathetic group! I think there are too many european players on the team. Very lazy, never giving 100%. look at Higgins and Ryder(our 2 best players; Canadians, of course!). We definitely need some help. there is no cohesion or chemistry on this team! I think tonight the ice is lopsided in Leafs favor. The habs look like they are skating in sand! Did I say skating? oops! not a chance! They look like a junior B team!

Montreal was very lucky to get 1 point. against a better team, and better goalie, it wouldn’t have happened. It’s hard enough to win games, never mind spotting the opposition a 2 goal lead! Work on your shootout, guys! You’re going to need it!

Seven Shooters for Montreal:
Samsonov-Kovalev-Ryder-Streit(wtf?)-Koivu-Higgins-Perezhogin
And only one of them can score! Are these professional players?

Nice rebound for Samsonov in the game, and great game by Aebischer.

That was absolutly PATHETIC. I never thought I’d see the Leafs, out skate, out work, and dhow more hard AND skill than the Habs, let alone in the Bell centre.

If it wasn’t for Aebischer(47 SAVES) they would have been blown out. The player of the game for the Habs was Samsonov.

They showed no passion, no heart, or intensity out there tonight. Carbonneau said that they must have thought they were playing Columbus, not their most hated long time rival Toronto.

Sure Kovalev had three assists but before anyone starts to talk about how great he is, the only reason he had any points was Sergei. Kovalev did not skate hard at all and he was leading the charge of Lazyness.

Ryder played his worst game of the season(I was reading today on hockeytraderumors.com today in the Habs section, article suject ‘Has Samsonov drawn the line, that Ryder party’s just as hard as Theo and Ribeiro ever did and he drinks hard and smokes weed, so maybe he was hung over?), Kovalev was his usual 50% self, Plekanec just looks absolutly terrible, Bonk and Johnson looked bad for the first time all year, Begin wasn’t good and neither was Murray.

And after I stick up for him Rivet played the worst game I’ve seen him play in years. He was brutal. Streit wasn’t good, Ninnamaa was bad, Komisarek looked shaky. Were would we be without Souray.

Point Blank the Habs didn’t even deserve one point. They stole a point that their effort didn’t warrant and their play was an absolute disgrace. If they play this way against Ottawa on tuesday they’ll lose 8-0.

Now that Leafs guy is going to come in here and shoot his mouth of again. He’s about as classy as Darcy Tucker.

PS. Whose got the last laffs now?

The leaf fan returns. Come back in March and we’ll talk sucker.
Rivet, Rivet, Rivet. I don’t know what to say.
Time to move on big fellow, your to slow for the new NHL.
I was looking for Rivet with 4 minutes left to get a penalty.
Then all of a sudden Rivet penalty. Same old story with this guy.

Anyways guys here comes the slump.

I totally agree with Habs#1 that Rivet was at an industrial-league hockey level last night. I cringed everytime that it went into his corner, that he tried a foolish pass or took a stupid penalty! There is no way that he should be wearing an ‘A’ for the greatest franchise in professional sports…NO WAY!!!!

Also, the shootout…what the &%#@*( was Streit doing going 4th??????? At least put Souray in there from the D to walk in and blister one from 15 feet out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i only have a couple questions why after sami’s goal you have the bell centre rocking would you come back on the ice with your forth line and my other question is on kaberle’s second goal the announcers said it was changed to peca’s as it went in off his shin pad why was it not because i’m tired of hearing how good he and mccabe are one more thing did anyone else watch the game on cbc and wonder how bob cole keeps his job when he was talking about the overtime period saying the only chances the leaf got were when they were 3 on 3 ( which never happen bob ) anyways happy to get 1 point out of that performance

Good rant Pactum….it is amazing how fickle fan’s can be…but that is the nature of the beast when it come’s to following proffessional sport’s teams.
As for the game last night….let’s just say that the Hab’s were quite fortunate to come out of it with a single point. They definitely did not deserve it but at the same time give them credit for coming back in the third period. Give credit to Toronto as they were the better team in all aspects of the game and were deserving of the two points. In this so called “new nhl” the word parity is a good description of where things stand and if you don’t bother to show up you will get your lunch handed to you. Last night was a good lesson….the one bright spot was Perezhogin’s goal and his continued good play!

It’s funny how leafs fan only tyurns up when the leafs win! where was he when they got their *** kicked by Ottawa 2 games in a row! Also, as bad as we played, (and it was a horrible performance, worst I’ve ever seen), we still managed to get 1 point! Toronto can’t play any better, not possible! and they still needed a shootout to win! just shows how crappy a team Toronto is! Pathetic! I feel sorry for leafs fan because it will be a long, long, long, season for them. did you see Maurice’s reaction when Souray scored to tie the game? Imagine, we play our very worst,(outplayed, outskated, outshot), and they still couldn’t beat us in regulation! Did you see how bad Aubin looked on the Souray goal? no wonder he is their backup! Raycroft has been so bad for them, can’t stop shots, that they decide to try their backup.same story. NO BETTER!leafs fan better hibernate for the winter, because his leafs are FINISHED!FINISHED!FINISHED! when the habs are on their game, THE LEAFS WILL BE ANNIHILATED!!! It will be NO CONTEST! The next game I predict: Montreal 7, Toronto 0 ! You’ll see. Anyways, we were just toying with leafs last night, saving heroics for the last 5 minutes, BECAUSE WE KNOW TORONTO WILL FALL APART AT THE END OF THE GAME!(as they always do)!

PACTUM SERVA????????

Man, you should be the montreal canadiens next owner! Fire Bob gainey, FIRE Guy Carbonnau-TRADE souray,samsonov,kovalev and ……………HIRE Bob Clark!

Luckily I’m not old enough to do a heart attack after reading this idiotic comment.

NEXT TIME caution the readers.What I mean is when you wanna write something as stupid as you wrote, write down in capital letters the following sentence:”Caution: 30 years and under”

I’m not going to be the first person to call down my grandfather to read that comment(23)

Fine, if you all won’t take my word for it, you won’t take Red Fischer’s word for it(even though he knows hockey and this team pretty damn well), will you take GUY LAFLEUR’S word on it?

From TSN.ca:

But the Russian veterans took more heat Sunday from one of the greatest Canadiens of all time – Guy Lafleur, who works for the team in a community relations capacity.

In his weekly column in Le Journal de Montreal, likely written before Saturday night’s game, Lafleur, who never minces his words, blasted both players for putting themselves ahead of the team.

And he urged head coach Guy Carbonneau to assert his authority, even scratch them from the lineup for some games if he must, to prevent dissension from spreading on the team.

“Me, myself and I, that’s Kovalev’s motto,” Lafleur wrote. “He punishes everybody because he’s not playing up to his expectations.”

Lafleur added: “I say without exaggeration that Samsonov and Kovalev are very talented, but they are very, very, very capricious.”

And he concluded with: “If they’re not happy, they should be scratched for some games. It should be avoided at all cost that one or two players takes control of the team.”

“The only person who should be in charge on the ice is Guy Carbonneau. Kovalev’s behaviour risks creating dissension in the ranks. Some players will defend him, others will keep quiet while blaming him on the inside, but the team will end up divided and weakened. Carbonneau absolutely must deal with this firmly.”

“On a hockey team, there’s nothing as useless as a prima donna who creates more problems than nice plays.”

Point: KOVALEV IS NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE.

The talent he has is not worth the headaches he creates. Trade him for to Chicago for Jonathan Toews or Brent Seabrook/Cam Barker and a first round pick.

OH and with The Guy Lafleur comment dont read to much into that, he is always mumbling in the paper. I met him three years ago at a hockey banquet and at that time he told me he thought the habs should trade Andrei Markov. He is just looking to make a few bucks writing a article. I bet you he doesnt even beleive what he is writing, he just has to write about something. He is more concerned about the ladies then the current success of the Habs.

SNAKE, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?@$!%#!#% I NEVER SAID RIVET PLAYED WELL!!!! IF YOU READ MY SECOND ENTRY(18) I CLEARLY STATE THAT RIVET WAS THE WORST D-MAN OUT THERE LAST NIGHT!!!! READ CLOSER NEXT TIME BEFORE YOU PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH!!!!!!!!

AS FOR WHO COMES OUT: NINNAMAA AND STREIT COME OUT! RIVET HAS HAD ONE BAD GAME ALL YEAR, LAST NIGHT! NINNAMAA HAS BEEN A HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT AND STREIT IS A CAREER #7 GUY.

DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF KOVALEV GET’S TRADED BY THE END OF THE YEAR. GAINEY DOSEN’T WANT HEADACHES AND KOVALEV IS A MASSIVE ONE. KOVALEV AND NINNAMAA FOR A YOUNG UP AND COMING DEFENCEMAN WITH TONS OF POTENTIAL BY THE END OF THE YEAR. MARK MY WORDS.

Don’t worry habs heartland 1, Kovalev will be gone by the end of the year, mark my words.

Then Snake will probably want Gainey to try and trade for Alexei Yashin, Derek Morris, Keith Tkachuck, Tyler Arnason, sign Alexander Mogilny, then finally deal for Sergei Federov.

They’ve just got so much talent they don’t need to try. Who needs hard workers. The Rangers before the lockout were just so good.

Finally, Strip all the A’s and the C, and give them to Yashin, Mogilny, Federov and Arnason. What a great team.

Man did I have a hard time writing this with a straight face. SARCASM! (By the way, for the individual who didn’t know what that was earlier: Sarcasm is when your not serious but actually just jokeing about what your saying!)

Hey guys cool down with the Kovalev rants and start the Rivet rants instead.
I’d be pissed off too if my linemates were pilons.
He’s frustrated just like we are. Just remember he’s amazing in the playoffs and he’s got a ring.
We need him come spring. You know we all love it when he puts on a show.
This new look line with Perezhogin could be deadly.
He got 3 points Saturday night what do you want?

You guys are like some parents.
When your kid comes home with an A, you ask the kid where’s the A+?

Hey Steve,
I’m a little swayed both ways I do believe that we need Kovalev (Or a player like him!) Come spring..But K’s problem is that he Only shows up to play 30% of the time! And at $4.5 million!?!?!?!? Problem right now is Our kid isin’t comin’ home with an “A” he’s coming home with a “C” and he’s skipping school half the time! Not to mention that it’s a very,very,VERY EXPENSIVE SCHOOL!!!
