The Habs visit Toronto in what will be definitely the final time this year. The Leafs have once again failed to reach the post-season.

- 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
- goalie : Markov for Beauchemin - an injury prone d-man for an ;old timer'd-man. Beauchemin is NOT what the Habs need in my opinion. He is a HUGE defensive liability.
- goalie : Stuo 11 I'd make that trade with Oilers fast BUT I doubt the Oilers will make that. Two marginal d-men at the best for a switch of first round picks - not a chance .
- stuo11 : markov for beachemin?
- stuo11 : let moen go
- stuo11 : maybe try and get steve begin back
- stuo11 : we wouldve kicked out all other teams but pens, sens,

Geniuses….Chipichura was traded!
Really why is he still listed as a bulldog then? And where was he traded to for who? Cause I see him as listed and do not see any trade news on him?
March 30, 2008 at 6:21 pm
The very idea that any body should ever have to pass laws to enable freedoms speaks volumes about just how many freedoms we don’t, in fact, have.
Anyway, the Rangers played as if they were an eliminated team today. It’s strange how certain playoff-bound teams seem to give so little effort with the playoffs just around the corner. I imagine that these teams won’t go very far.
March 30, 2008 at 6:23 pm
We were not suposed to be in the playoffs to start, so we will see where we go from here, injuries are bad and this time of year worse… but this is what happens all part of the game, granted they did not play a good game against Toronto, so what … that game is past.
next !
March 30, 2008 at 6:27 pm
who says Chipchura was trade, because I don’t believe it. his name is still on the bulldog’s roster. If someone thinks he’s been traded, tell us to what team.

New York better play like they are possessed .. they are only 3 points ahead of Washington AND 1 POINT
March 30, 2008 at 6:36 pm
sorry
And only 1 point ahead of Boston for 8th spot … so yeah go figure some teams are fighting for their lives , we need 1 point and with that we can’t finish lower then 2nd …

I prefer this attitude.
March 30, 2008 at 6:47 pm
CHIPCHURA has NOT been traded. he played for Hamilton today!
Please get your facts straight.
March 30, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Tell that to the genius Habman seems he knows better then all of us put together …
March 30, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Chpiie bot has another year left , i was thinking another player, Must have more beer in the fridge to strengthen it out of my brain, hangover< never get them, …so chippie has a chance, with 36 games under his belt the boyz may havea point, hes a good one to get under oppositon skin, and its good to keep the boyz on their toes, , I say bring that big russia in valentenkov!
Boston out Washington IN!..look out here comes OVECHKIN!
March 30, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Hey whiners!..Ill say what I want , when I want , if i want, to whom i want, and do it ANYTME I WANT, there isnt ONE single thing here thats made any sense or even came came close to anything the Habs have accomplished, or did not accomplish, no concrete evidence that you have hindsight, vision, or any knowledge about the history of this team, its character, or tradition!
Band wagon HABBERS!!
Quick to judge but vey very slow to understand the complexity and feel for the game,
What team did you play for Carnage?..Joseph?, Senet 1????
Do you even own a hockey stick other than a floor hockey one!?
March 30, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Oh guyz i love it when “coach habman” makes you do your home work!
gOOD JOB BOYZ!
nOW TELL US WHO YOU WANT IN LINE TO REPLACE OUR SOFTIES!
Yes as fellow habfans, your sick of listening to me..tell me who you’d pick to have in for the playoffs, let e say..GOOD PICK to someone else for a change,
thats why its called a blog!??????????? boyz???
do some browsing, check out some “muscle” i need OPINIONS HERE!
As a hab fan< I will personally send a message to the coaching staff on behalf of our comrades( I have connections), how do you think I knew Dandeneault was playing, and Halak was in,2 dayz before the game…
Koivu will be in action in 2 weeks …not four, Lapierre is hurt also..they didn’t mention that did they?
March 30, 2008 at 9:32 pm
We saw Lapierre was hurt … get a clue you think you know things othes dont LOLOLOLOL
Please you spend half your time here in a drunken stooper , you dont even know what players are on the roster to start with .
March 30, 2008 at 9:37 pm
I’m suprised that the Mental Institution allows Habman computer access!!!
March 30, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Habman knows something. He’s an expert in Fudge packing.
March 30, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Bahaha…
I bet the Habs coaching staff can’t wait to implement your ideas, habman. After all, you are never wrong, right? You are the all knowing, omnipotent hockey master. Sensei Habman, Third Degree Black Belt in Habiometry, PhD in Haboreal studies. No education in humility.
Dude, please.
March 30, 2008 at 10:30 pm
I think I’ll just stick to supporting the team and enjoying their success, myself. As to the details which seem to call for so much criticism and negativity, well, ignorance is bliss.
March 30, 2008 at 10:49 pm
Its great to see so many arm chair coaches !!! I mean without them the Habs would never have made the playoff’s … maybe Habman should move to Toronto they need his expertise over there for sure!!
March 30, 2008 at 10:58 pm
Boston out Washington IN!..look out here comes OVECHKIN!
Caps 88 points are 3 points back , Boston, Philly and NY all 91 points 3 way tie holy cow this is whack! We could end up facing just about anyone of these guys and even Ottawa or the Caps …. my god get this season over with all ready LOL
March 30, 2008 at 11:56 pm
I believe that Toronto is all stocked up on bad decisions at the moment, but I’m sure they’d keep his résumé on file for future consideration.
habman, in all seriousness, you should market your knowledge and write a book entitled “Knee Jerk Reactionary Coaching Methods”. Chapter One could be ‘Sitting Regulars and Calling Up Rookies Following a 7-5 Win.’ It wouldn’t make a dime. What say you?
March 31, 2008 at 12:22 am
Not bad guy’s,over 120 post and just 7 bloggers and not one argument he he… keep it up and we will take first place from inside/out…lol.See the difference winning makes last year all we did was attack each other but now we just kick each other right in the NUTS !!!!
March 31, 2008 at 8:52 am
Dats wha families do right.
March 31, 2008 at 11:00 am
LOL,when are we going to be featured on the Jerry Springer show?
March 31, 2008 at 11:32 am
Great.
I want to ***** Slap Habman.
March 31, 2008 at 8:59 pm
More suggestions…
Chapter 2: “Forget Everything You Think You Know About Hockey and Listen to ME!”
Chapter 3: “Say Everything That You Want To Say About the Habs At Least 25 Times… Just In Case People Were Ignorning You.”
I’m feeling a novel here.
April 2, 2008 at 5:36 pm
The Leafs are hopeless….their fans are retards…..Leaf Nation is a land of stupid people!!!
The ACC is full of stupid mice following a dream night after night.
Hoping the Habs destroy Raycroft and company this Saturday night!!
April 3, 2008 at 9:53 pm
I must apologize for being so hard and unpleasant with my last post.It was not nice to say some of those things and I am sorry for not being nice on this site.
Sorry about that and it will not happen again.
