I think this is the last chance both Zednik and theo have to prove they are worth keeping. I have seen them play through out the whole season, and last game agaisnt Toronto was the first time I see Koivu and Kovalev this happy. This might be what we needed,a sense of team spirit and the relief and joy of winning a game as a team. As for Zednik and Theo i would be glad to trade them for one or two decent D mens. As wierd as it may seem to many of you, I think Bonk, Dandy and Ribero are giving their best (or almost), contrarily to Zednik. Furthermore, I think bringing Perezhogin back is a good decision.

P.S: even though my B-day is on wed 1st, I do hope the Canadiens can give me a pre-birthday gift and retake the 8th position, especially against Carolina. If we win tonight I think its going to open the eyes of alot of the players, showing them we can even be part of the best.

Your bang on vis a vis, the Gainey/Theo assumption.
I don’t think the Habs are going to succeed tonight. The jury’s still out on the question of team chemistry. Not enough wins to base (a newly found) team confidence on.
5-3 Carolina. (but don’t beat me over the head with it if the habs win
Weight is way over-rated. He’s a middle-of-the-road player at best. Kind of like Tony Amonte (both yanks and Ranger originals). Their stock was high then, but they ended up being lacklustre for the most part. I can’t see the mystique or understand why the media maintains that kind of focus on these and other similarly skilled players.
Good Luck tonight,.. and prove me wrong.

I agree with the whole Theo thing. There was a time this season that I thought he might be (and hoped) on his way out but that time has past. Unless someone makes Gainey an offer that he can’t refuse, Theo will be sticking around and I don’t know why but I am begining to think that Theo can still turn his game around (I know that sounds crazy.)

It was nice to see that the Sens got what was coming to them…those smug ********. It makes it even better that it was a weaker team that did it to them. I know Boston and the Habs have their rivalry but there is a difference between having a rivalry and having no respect for the oposition.

On a final note, congradulations to Selanne for his 1,000th point

The Habs need to change the chemistry on their team. I don’t think one big trade will turn them around, but it is a good starting point. Playing hockey for 60 mins a game is not something the habs have done to well this season. Keeping our top players fired up for the whole game will make all the difference.
