Let’s re-sign him!

It is sad when Gainey is so out to lunch and unwilling to admit he made a mistake signing some real losers, and keeping on some really crappy defensemen like Dandenault, and his side kick in total incompetence Bouillon!

Gainey is smarter then any of you think, he was constantly telling people about how New York was a stanley cup contender and a great team, Was he right or what?? I dont know about tonight but the rangers are defintely goong deep in the playoffs. I should have listened to him and notput money on atlanta ebcasue they on their way to a first round exit.

so lay off gainey!

Hey Frank,

could you say it a couple of times in French…so that it isn’t misconstrued and misinterpreted…just want to make sure it’s crystal clear for everyone…y’know the stuff about defensive hockey!! S-tttzz…want to make sure we cover all corners just in case someone from the organization is actually looking over our shoulders.

ENJOY THE GAME DIE HARD,
IJUST WANTED TO POINT OUT ,THAT WHILE WATCHING PLAYOFF ACTION,I have witnessed what a real N.H.L. club or clubs do ,one of them being to play hard,for 60 mins!!!It just shows me how bad the Habs are and how big the changes have to be,TRADE,TRADE,TRADE….SELL,SELL,SELL..!…..!!!THIS YEARS MONTREAL CANADIENS WAS THE WORST EVER !!! IF NOT FOR THE ROOKIE’S ,O.M.G.!!!!

Price could be just another Halak waiting for Dandenault and Bouillon to destroy his NHL debut! The kiss of death for any decent goalie, the defense duo of Dandenault and Bouillon!

Hey Jack, if you want an example the Devils, now the devils inherited some pretty crappy stuff cause, hey Lou was learning on the job. But hey, he admitted he made a mistake, admitted he was unable to do anything because of contracts, let them die out and rebuilt. What does Gainey and Carboneau do? They don’t. That is just it, they don’t do nothing. If anything they destroy the team morale, play head tricks with goalies who if they had the right GM and coach would match the likes of Biron with a bit of help and work. But what does Gainey and Carbo do? They stick with the kiss of death, Dandenault and Bouillon, both get a combined ice time that makes any veteran wish they were playing in Montreal if only for ice time. What does Dandenault and Bouillon do with their opportunity? Instead of taking advantage of it and becoming decent defense, play lacklustre lazy hockey! You call that building? You call that SMART? I sure as heck don’t.

Instead of making one post you did four in row.

You are seriously OCD.

Hey everyone, Habs#1 is providing free online mental health professional counseling, hey Habs#1, if Bob Gainey doesn’t see the same game we are seeing, does that mean he is a)gifted b)smart c)totally out to lunch d)clueless e)post concussion delusional f)don’t know:

So what is it Habs#1 since you seem to be the expert here….

Oh no, this is posting number three that I am making, oh wait, Habs#1 is an online stalker, someone call the Habs fan police cause Habs#1 is also harrasing fans of the habs with online psychological assessments.

Actually this site is for fans of the Montreal Canadiens, not an online support group for OCD Habs#1, and maybe that psycho ward steward there should keep tighter tabs on you to make sure you are taking your meds Habs#1.

RDS & Gazette reporting Markov is favoring Montreal, this is the word according to his Agent: “Agent Don Meehan believes the team has a good chance of signing defenceman Andrei Markov before he becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1.” Don will be Flying to Moscow for the Worlds next week and will speak with Markov, then hopes to have discussions with Gainey when he returns…

Hey Habs#1 what is the bill for your free online assessment? And you did’nt respond to what serious mental illness Gainey has for not thinking about rebuilding the team instead of building….hmmm….or his delusional emphasis on making sure the Dogs have a good win record as opposed to the habs….

How much saved when we get rid of Kovalev, Samsonov,Huet,Abbyshit,Bonk,Murray, Downey,Johnson,Dandanult,Bullion,and Niimamaa????????

If you guys are waiting for big name superstart free agents for the Habs to target, wait for the next two offseasons:

Jarome Iginla, Mikka Kiprusoff, Robyn Regehr, Kristian Huselius(man is Calgary screwed or what?), Dany Heatley, Markus Naslund, Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau(ah oh, San Jose can probably only keep one!), Vinny Lecavelier(oh boy here we go again. He and his florida supermodel wife are happy in Tampa, do you really think she’d want to live in Montreal? See Chris Pronger in Edmonton), Marian Hossa and Henrik Zetterberg will all be UFA’s within the next two years.

Strangely enough this all conincides when all of Montreal’s big contracts run out? Coincidence or strategy? That’s up to you to decide.

Just finished the Dallas/Nucks game, we made a big mistake getting rid of Riberio,big ,big ,mistake !!

If the Canadiens sign Souray, I would make him a forward (centre or wing). He’s a liability on defense, so put him in the front. THere’s the big centreman they’ve been looking for. Just a thought.

I’ll restate what I said last week, trade Koivu. He has had his time. It’s not a matter of disrespecting him, it’s because he has value and he also has attitude. Yes, he beat cancer, he got an eye injury, he did give his all for the team but they didn’t go anywhere. Maybe it’s not his fault, but it’s time for new blood. And, to all you know it alls that think he’s a god, he’s not. He’s good BUT NOT GREAT.

Mike Ribeiro is a pansy and gutless. Sure he lead Dallas in scoring……WITH 59 POINTS! BIG ******* DEAL! Saku had 72!

Dallas is in the playoffs because they have one of the top 3 goalie tandems in the league in Marty Turco and Mike Smith and the defensive system they play.

Ribeiro is not a leader on the Stars. They have to many real leaders for Ribeiro to be one on that team. He hides in the shadow of Mike Modano, Brendan Morrow, Sergei Zubov, Darryl Sydor, Mattius Norstrom, Jere Lehtinen, Stu Barnes and Jeff Halpern and the fact that no one in Dallas knows who he is.

His career was finished in Montreal, and he still isn’t that great. Dallas can have him.

Sounding more and more like a Toranna Maple Sucks SITE HERE,Pansey and gutless deplics most of the Habs team and that’s why no playoff action for Habs Fans !!!!
Our Habs Team is Garbage that NOBODY WANTS AND WE ARE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE LEAGUE,so be in denial all you want, in fact ,hypothelicy,if Ribeiro won the cup all on his own you guys would still have the same opinion about him and maybe ,just maybe that’s what’s wrong with this Habs team. WAKE UP HABS FANS !!!!!I’ll tell you what ,I take Ribs and you can have Samsonov ,Kovalev,Niinamaa,Murray,Downey,Johnson and Bonk !!!lol

KOVALEV:47PTS -19
SAMSONOV:26PTS -4
murray:3pts -10
downey:1 pt -6
BONK: 23PTS -0-
JOHNSTON:31PTS+6
They were paid a combined $12 mil this year, for what ?????There not from Montreal and we’re not in the PLAYOFFS!!!!I would laugh back at you,but it’s NOT FUNNY,4REAL !!!!!ALL THE CANADIENS FANS ARE EMBARRASED !!!!!

Watching the SCORE and seeing them play the SPEZZA goal from last year I finally heard a good analysis of the play. Basically they said that Souray should get credit for at elast rying to stop SPezza while RIvet and Zednik who put souray in that position to start didnt even attempt to stop him. Watch the replay closely Rivet stops skating at the blueline and is only a armlength away from him after th emove yet does not attempt to make a play. Souray went for the hit and missed. BOOHOO! I saw Lidstrom miss a hit last night, only differnce was his de partner backed him up.

DIE_HARD_HABS_FAN give Price time to develop, it was only his 5th proffesional game.

Did you expect him to be perfect right away? The common misconception among Habs fans is that if a player is drafted by them they will be an automatic superstar. He needs at least a full year or two in the minors to work with the goalie coaches(the Habs seem to have pretty good ones) and time to get used to being a pro.

Give him time and have a little faith.

Oh, and people who want Angelo Esposito really badly and not Brandon Sutter, Esposito is starting to be compared to Alexander Daigle and Alexei Yashin. Tons of talent but no drive at all.

Thank you habsfan_for_life1212. Someone who finally see’s exactly how much work Gainey has had to do in 3 years and how much he has improved the team.

Has he made mistakes? Absolutely but even the best do at times. But in FA, with trades, with bringing young guys up WHEN THEY ARE READY and at the draft table especially Gainey has done a fabulous job.

Hey you Gainey fans, answer me this. How come if Gainey was so good, we lost to Toronto who in turn lost to the worst NHL team for last spot in the playoffs and even then they only got out because of being bumped out by another team, the division we are in was last place in the NHL! Last place. Even our first place team within Montreal’s division would not have gotten in if it was a point system over all.

So again I ask just what good has Gainey done for Montreal? One of the highest paid teams in the NHL and this is what we get for almost fifty million in salaries? Anywhere else Gainey would be walking out with a pink slip buddy!
