You also shouldn’t slash an injured wrist with the intent to injure. Lapierre is lucky that his second dirty play still hasn’t resulted in him getting filled in by an opponent’s enforcer.

THM, YOU LIKE THE EMERY’S TIME OFF DUDE? Oh by the way,that was my 90 year old Great Grandmother you sick basterd!

I think it was 22 grandmothers wearing the red on the ice on Saturday.

Don’t you got a Dr PHIL SHOW to watch or empty’s to cash in THM ? Or are you a closet Habs fan? You know it’s people like you that give trailer parks a bad name!

Nagy is also a UFA so he’s a rental player but you don’t know what the Coyotes asked MTL for so it’s pointless to get too worked up over it.

As for Lapierre, there is a big difference between shaking things up (ie. laying a big hit) and being dirty which is what he was.

The lack of any eagerness by Carboneau or even more distressing is Gainey’s silence, means that the Habs management has given up.

Maybe Gillett should be looking to find another general manager and coaching staff.

Next we’ll have a riot on our hands if the Habs keep playing like they do.

All these teams are taking advantage, at least they want to win. What’s the biggest thing Montreal has done? Watched Emery take a swipe and then was mum about it all.

It’s about time someone reminded Gainey and Carboneau they were picked because they were winners, time to start acting like you are one eh Bob and Guy?

We want some great players here.

Just seen the 3rd period Flyers 5 goal blowout of Detroit. Next year the Flyers are going to do good I figure,anyway Forsburg’s looking good. He is what we need. We also need a big ,black,montrealer by the name of Laraque.Iknow we can get him of Gretz rite now, he could bring the testostorone levels back to the club,”really needed”.

We got a rental for the Sens by the name of Niinimaa,ha ha ha ha.

Rob Blake, Peter Forsburg and Shane Doan and we win the cup!

U mean he’s a sweede?,oh.

Forsberg is gonna stay in Philly, last night was the clincher. I think he is probably negotiating some breathing room, like Samsonov tried in Montreal, take pressure off, its the European way I guess.

Hockey Buzz.com is reporting that Montreal is leading the pack in trying to get Doan. I don’t believe it, because if it’s a rumour, it’s probably not true. Besides Gainey never does anything anyways. He’s what you call a couch potato GM. I also heard that the Coyotes were trying to sign Doan to a long term deal. He’s probably their best player,(now that Nagy’s gone) so why would they get rid of him.
It really burns me that Dallas got Nagy for next to nothing. We could have gotten him.But of course, if your GM’s name is Gainey, things like that never happen. So look at the wonderful things Mr. Bob has done in the past year and a half. He got a defensive player(Johnson), a dime a dozen, and NOT what we need; he also signed a has been player(Samsonov), that NOBODY ELSE wanted.
So, exactly how did he improve this team? In fact he made this team WORSE!
Since he came on board, we’ve gone thru 3 coaches, and now probably won’t make the playoffs. Great job Bob! now go back to Dallas!

Well, given what could have been and what was not done, we could blame Gainey for cloudy skies, the potholes, heck maybe even that there are not enough chip wagons on the streets anymore….

But really, the team is what not only Gainey does but Gauthier as well.

I still don’t understand those people who say it is the fan’s fault, or Lepresse, hey, was that some fan, or Lapresse that took a swing at Lapierre? Or was it Lapresse that put Dandenault and Ninnima two games ago when the habs could have tied it close to the end of the game? No it was Carboneau.

Was it some fan or Lapresse that keeps calling Koivu and Kovalev on their hooking penalties? No it was the referees.

The team and the management are held accountable for their actions. It is the fans who by attending and showing interest support the team. The media helps the team by publicizing the team.

The sadest part of all, about all of this is the big black cloud placed over the fans”young and old”. You got 15 year old montrealers who have only read about the history of the team,wondering what the fuss is all about,sad!To tell you the truth,the owner,management, coaches and players have all missed the point of exercise, It’s for the FANS !!! The Ken Dryden nite brought that magic back for me ,if not only for a breif moment. It was during that the tears were running down my face ,I noticed my young children and wife staring at me in disbelief,that’s when I relized I couldn’t explain any of it,it had been too long ago……………

I think Samsonov been tried on every line known to man! Everyone is missing the point. It isn’t his linemates that will make the difference,- it’s SAMSONOV!
He can’t play with anyone. He won’t go to the net, and he won’t shoot! That’s the problem. Do you guys see how many goals in the NHL are scored on rebounds?
If he’s not standing in front of the net, how on earth does he expect to score. After all, he has a lousy shot to begin with. This is just an effort in futility.He’s a lost cause. I would prefer he be in Hamilton, and bring up someone like Kotstityn to replace him. We don’t owe him anything, and Carbo has bent backwards to try and accomodate him. So why isn’t Samsonov more flexible. Boy, he is stubborn with wax in his ears. He needs to do exactly what Carbo is saying, without resisting to change!

Well we haven’t tired Sammy in the Youpie suit yet!!!!!

How will some of you people feel when Gainey makes a big trade and then some people will shut their mouths. I hope he can do something to make some of these people shut up. We need something to light a fire under some of those asses on our team. We need to do anything to make our team better for the short-term and long-term health of our team. Come on Gainey, I am starting to get a little impatient like some of these other people here on this site and I want to see some action. Other teams are making themselves better, i.e. Calgary, Dallas, Atlanta. We are doing NOTHING! We NEED something fast otherwise we will not make the playoffs.
