What do you think Gainey can do? Pull a really big skilled centre out of his *** magically. Those guys are not easy to come by and the majority of them love playing in the states. Get used to the team that’s on the ice now

I agree Habs#1,the only way you get a big center is via trade from a team that really struggles out of the gate. Free agents don’t seem to want to play in Montreal. Gainey will have to give up a prospect plus a top line player. But right now people Montreal and Toronto will finish 9 and 10 at best with their present rosters. They also need a better communicator as a coach. I watched as Carboneau shook his head and rolled his eyes at a player because he wasn’t in proper position during a faceoff. If your players don’t know their positions at the professional level,then man ship them back to the minors. Bob Gainey also has to get a little more agressive when pursuing players ala Kevin Lowe.Do what is ever necessary to get the players . You have enough of a future,you better start thinking of the present or Gainey you won’t see the 08/09 season.

Anyoneelse havig a loof trouble enerin posts o tis ite? just look at my ost—y speling isno that bad!!

Couldn’t agree more with you HB. Grabovski looks lost and intimidated out there on the ice. He’s not ready for the bigs. The smart move would be to send him down, put Pleks between Kovy and Kostitsyn and have Chipchura in the lineup.

Re t#6,no prbems ere NigEiski.Lol….Thans-you,for bringing this problm up,I thoght H.P. mit of just screwedmeon is new laptop just bought,ol.Habsblg fix yr ste forfuk sakes!!!lol

re. rubberman i agree completely with your carbo assessment (although he was a smart player and will eventually become a smart coach) but to replace gainey with roy? you say we lack management experience, last i checked roy is coaching/owning/managing in the qmjhl (not even the ahl) long after gainey was winning cups with the stars. the canadiens havent drafted well for years before gainey got there. since hes been here its been getting better, we have prospects im looking forward to seeing (we did win the calder cup). it takes time to rebuild through drafts and gainey is our man, for now.

I enjoy the games this year in a different way than last year: last year, i started expecting the Habs to win, but this year I’m just enjoying the hockey and I certainly don’t expect them to win at all. Is it disappointing that they lost to the Leafs? It was last year, but this year they’re basically an AHL team with a few 2nd (Koivu and Kovalev) and 3rd line (Plekanac, Ryder) NHL players thrown into the mix. But it’s a young team, and that’s the exiting part. My only real disappointment so far this year has been Latendresse–who’s been playing like a meat-head in his limited ice time.

Huet has been mediocre, but we shouldn’t get upset with losing this year–or if we do, we had better get used to it. The Leafs are simply a better team this year–but that’s fine. We’ll finish 9-12th and the Leafs will finish 8-10th, but their “best years” (lol) are behind them, and ours are ahead of us.

We can all see how much of a diehard Habs fan(cough) you are Chevy4ch, with your lame *** posts. I know everyone has an opinion but you; you should keep yours to your self. Remember the team is very young. They will eventually grow. No goaltending in Huet(all-star), Price(AHL playoff MVP), Halak. No we don’t have decent goaltending. Why doesn’t everyone stop bitching about how bad the Habs are when they have only played 2 games.

I’d like to point out that Latandresse is a young
Cam Neeley give him room!!!!!Don’t want to make the same mistake as Vancouver made!H.B. is Vista clashing wwith yur site ??????? Something is gone rongdude!

Every player has a role. Do you know Latendresse’s role is? As a goon!
Because he is, without doubt, THE DUMBEST PLAYER I HAVE EVER SEEN!
He can’t skate, he can’t score, and he can’t check! But he is great at taking
bad penalties, all the time. He thinks with his butt! He belongs in the minors, now and for good! That guy should NEVER have been put on the habs roster. He doesn’t have a clue what to do. He is NOT AN NHL PLAYER! he is a career minor league player. He reminds me of Chris Nilan, except that Nilan could fight, and Latendresse can’t even do that! What a waste. taking up a valuable spot on the roster, that should be filled by Lapierre or Chipchura!
Do you guys notice how Carbo gives preference to french canadian players?
ie. Brisebois, Latendresse, Bouillon, Dandenault,Begin. And all of them are pure ****!

Same old same old. Dump it in. Cycle. Try for 1 shot. 2 forwards peel back before they can grab a rebound. Try to win 1-0 games. Protect a 2-1 lead going into third. No spirit and they start Lapierre i the minors???

Maybe next year. Bye bye Carbo

Hey Chevych4, shut your mouth. You are probably a Leafs fan in Habs clothing. Why are you so pessimistic. It’s only two games into a very young season, no need to jump off the bandwagon. I hate people who MAKE FUN OF THE HABS!! While it may be true(unfortunately) that the Leafs are better than the Canadiens this season, the future is bright in Montreal with the prospects coming up. I see better days ahead and more Stanley Cups, so Chevych4, go screw off!!

And BTW, I am a HUGE HABS FAN! But, I’m also realistic. I don’t view the world with rose colored glasses on! You should do the same, instead of chastizing people for saying what they believe!

Terrible ,terrible,hard to watch ,embarassing ,Florida of all teams ,can`t bear to watch the Habs anymore .We never get the habs here in Ontario ,than when you do they play like this .
