That limp by Lapierre..its normal for him to walk like that to the dressing room..no worries…HAHAHAHA!!!

We now need Biron to finnih the year,BEEF!!!!

Believe or not, there is the under wave of anti-Habsism in the NHL world.
Obviously, Habs the most times winner of the Cup.

Thank you SENET 1 for stepping up to the plate and acknowledging that!
Now theres a HAB FAN!
anyone else admit there are issues with health , or any suggestions on solutions,?
Komi, Koivu, Bouiliin, LAPIERRE, , WE NEED THESE GUYS BADLY!

wE NEED OUR captain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Habman I acknowedge it the night you made the statement

“Why can’t we beat the Laffs?”

Season series: 3-3-1

Why do so many people either everyone exaggerate the negatives associated with this organization or invent ones that don’t even exist? The season series is even, as per usual. And so they lost an essentially meaningless game tonight with Koivu, Streit, Price and others out of the line-up. So what. As I stated before, it’s a lot more gratifying watching to see if your team finishes first in its conference than it is hoping that your non-playoff bound spoiler team can come up with a victory against a superior rival.

That being said, I can smell the sour grapes in Toronto all the way from my house.

Exactly my point, Senet 1. We should all enjoy the success of this season rather than focus on what’s wrong with the Habs when they can’t close the deal on first overall. I guarantee you this: if you asked any Habs fan at the beginning of the season if they’d be critical of an Eastern Conference lead with four games left in the season, they’d have said no way!

Xtrahabsfan, they effectively removed themselves from the sweepstakes in their futile, and very delusional, effort to make the playoffs. But it’s the thought that counts, right? Generous Habs.

And as predicted, my ‘Leafs fan friends’ are texting me right now to let me know that their sorry team beat the Habs tonight. How very, very sad. I genuinely feel sorry for them.

the big picture is now how our injuries are piling up at the worst time of the year. Without Streit on the PP, we’re not very good(as shown tonight).
We can’t expect to win games with Brisebois, Dandeneault, and Smolinski.
If Koivu is in fact out of the lineup for an extended time, say 4 weeks, it’s going to be tough, because our opposition will counter on our #1 line and shut them down, and then who’s going to score for us? who will our 2nd line be?
I think we have good reason to be concerned, and I certainly am.

Well we all would like to see the habs win in the playoffs, personally, at the beginning of the season I would have take just making the playoff and secondly, getting past the first round or two would have been a bonus.

So lets take a try at creating a second line. Lets try this move Lapierre to the 2nd line with Higgins & Sergie Kost. or Ryder. Then move the alternate to the third line bring up chipchura to centre that line am not sold on Grabovsky.

Senet; you’ll be happy to know that Komisarek starts skating again on Monday, so he will definitely be back for the playoffs. And Streit should be out about 1 week. All this news is according to the team 990, who has inside information to everything involving the habs. It looks like Koivu is able to play thru pain, so maybe after 3 weeks he could be back. So I guess it will just be a question of getting thru 1 round of the playoffs without him, and then we’ll be ok.

Even with the big win in Buf, these last 2 games have been very lame efforts. The drive and desire aren’t there…..weather both are gone or just put on the shelf for a few games, this is a bad time of year to start getting lazy and just coast into the playoffs. Blame it on penalties or injuries; an efford would still be good. Remember, most teams that coast into the playoffs the last few games because they already have a spot, are usually coasted right out again by a team who worked hard the last 5 games+ to actually get a spot. Your work ethic at the end of the season usually dictates how your playoff run is gonna go. Better hope this is a 1 or 2 game break, and we pick it up again against Ott on Tues night or there could be a very quick and harsh end to an otherwise great season.

Donnie – some very interesting points. I do believe if it’s one thing this team has shown
us all year is that they don’t get down for very long. I think every team in the league has
had extended losing streaks – I think Montreal’s longest was 3 games. They’ll bounce back.

I’d love it. Not only do I think it would be very entertaining, but the boys (IMO) would win
that series.

Whatever, I’d play Washington in a second. They’re not that good a team.

A question:

Why are the likes of Sundin, Tucker, McCabe, Kubina, Toskala, and so on in the Leafs line-up with only a handful of utterly meaningless games remaining to be played in the season? Shouldn’t the younger guys be given a chance to develop a bit, show what they can do, compete for spots on the roster next season? Why hasn’t Pogge been given a start or two, or four? Or is Toronto Maple Leaf pride so important that it actually takes precedence over logic and common sen– I may have just answered my own question.

SEE!..thats what i like to see, some solid decision making and common sense, utilize the speed and try to bump up the other line, Carbo should be using the final games to “experiment” he may come up with some kind of “mad mans” concoction.
good call !

We lose to Ottawa, we lose to Buffalo, we win against Toronto, that is that Carboneau makes no move to Hamilton to replace Koivu, or Komi, .

last time Koivu got hurt was against a “no call” when he injured his eye, up 3 games and lose , Carolina goes on to win the Stanley Cup!

Adversity inspires this team, and we need our Captain to rally our troops!

Geniuses….Chipichura was traded!

If I was Gainey….

Ring ring, anbswer the phone!…yes This is BOB, I want to have these guys down for practice immediately!
C-man Brock Trotter: 5 ft 10 180 shoots R
D-man Pavel Valentenko 6 ft 6 230 shoots L
RW -man James Wyman 6 ft 2 212 shoots R
RW-man Brett Engelhardt 6 ft 2 210 shoots R
C-man Corey Locke 5 ft 9 171 shoots L

Get down here NOW!!!!!!This is an EMERGENCY
Pavel would be great with the RuSSIAN

This guy doesnt like to smile alot..lets put it this way…I hope to GOD! we see him in the line up!

Oh yes, I was right about TO , they should of PULLED PRICE AFTER 7 TO 1 Lead…he may have felt better about PLAYING T.O!

I think he’s going for a new record for consecutive, unanswered posts, repetitious as some of them may be.

habman: I agree with you. Valentenko needs to be with the habs. big, strong, will hit anything that moves. Get rid of that soft, cough up the puck Brisecrap, and bring the muscle. Can’t you see it? Komisarek on 1 side and Valentenko on the other side. Get rid of thw wimps, ie. Brisecrap, Dandy, and Smolinski and bring in some big bodies. Physical play wins stanley cups, not softies.
