(Ice) ur so right man. the Habs play as a team more like any other team. If Montreal makes it to the playoffs,I think they have a terrific shot at winning that cup.

Look people the prediction that the Habs will finish 13th is based on +/- numbers, goals for and against and the amount of star players on the team. We all know that hockey is played on the ice not on paper. Super star players are important but not nessissary. Can we also agree that hockey is a team sport. The difference between the top teams and the lessor ones is not that great. Talent will only take you so far. Just ask the Ottawa Sen’s fans in the past. Heart, good goaltending, solid defense, timely scoring, speed, coaching, and a good mix of youth and experiance can take you very far. One thing I think that we are forgetting is that this will be another year for Bob Gainey, Carbo, and staff. Let’s not forget that Carbo is still new as a coach. Last year was a valuable experiance for him and as such he will only get better. Finally the Habs probably have the best farm system in Hockey. Finally they have depth there. Witness the Bulldogs year! That may be the wildcard. Remember how Ken Dryden beat the much better big bad Bruins. Or how Patrick Roy stoll the 1983 Stanley cup. What happened in the past should motivate the club and we should give them all our support. After all it’s just a game. Agreeably a fantastic one. My prediction, 8th place with a strong finish and momentum going into the playoffs. After that anything goes!!!!

The Hockey News is a Toronto paper, it’s writers are Toronto Boys and Leaf Fans. Just Like TSN Toronto Sports News, or Don Cherry ( I hate Quebec but I am a Christain), just like all the Sports Sations in Toronto who really believe eveyone in Canada is a Leaf Fan,and Toronto is the most storied Hockey Franshice ever now that,s a joke, only Leaf Fans and The toronto media beleive that ****. So guess what, every year the Toronto Media boys have to put down Montreal, Ottawa and the rest of Canada’s Teams. Toronto is not the world centre of Hockey, remember when Montreal had to bail out Harold Ballard and they owned 10% of the Leafs. The Hockey News is good for Bird Cage liner and that is about all.

So The Hockey News predicted 13th position for our team huh.. We will finish top 10 minimum take a look at our team an Yes no real big names picked up but what do we have a young team thats got speed, determination to prove they belong in the big leagues, with some veterans that are gonna wanna lead the way an not to mention our 3 goaltenders fightin out the startin job.. If this group gels early we are in the playoffs period, but my prediction is gainey will land someone here mark my words gainey will get a big name player u can doubt it, predict who, or who we will give up but the outcome will be a TRUE SURPRISE to everyone believe it!!!!!!

the two best players, koivu and kovalev, are a year older and are not allstars, smolinski was the best free agent pick-up, and souray is gone. how is this team any better? keep buildin, and in a couple of years, go get vinnie, then talk to me-and im a loyal hab fan–always.

WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ANY BIG NAMES COMING TO MONTREAL ANYTIME SOON-OF COURSE THE HABS ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. THEY SHOULD FINISH LOW ENOUGH OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS TO GET TOP PROSPECTS IN THE DRAFT LIKE STAMKOS-AS PITTSBURGH DID, BUILD THEIR SYSTEM OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS AND HOPE A VINNIE WILL WANT TO COME HOME. THIS WAY WE HAVE A CHANCE OF WINNING A CUP BEFORE THE DECADE IS OUT. A NOTE ALSO TO MR. GAINEY–HOW COME THE FLYERS CAN GIVE UP ONE PLAYER FORSBERG, AND A DRAFT PICK AND COME AWAY WITH TIMONENN, UPSHALL AND HARTNELL-TWO POWER FOWARDS AND AN ALL STAR DEFENSEMAN-WHILE THE HABS SIT IDLY BY AND DO NEXT TO NOTHING. MAKES YOU WONDER.
