Rebound

The Canadiens are coming off a lopsided loss against Ottawa followed by a night which saw two of their players arrested and put in jail overnight.

Time to forget all that completely and get two wins in Florida.

Will they be able to put it aside and get back on track? Continue chasing Ottawa for first while maintaining themselves in the middle of the playoff pack?

Thats why he is in the NHL because he cant play hockey .. makes perfect sence , I am sure you can skate, pass and check better then he can , but why are you not in the NHL?

What was that? Why didnt Higgins follow Koivu on the breakaway.

If he did he wouldve had an easy rebound goal.

Great.
Typical Koivu getting a stupid penalty near the end of the game.

You know Carbo should bench Koivu and send him a message that his stupid hooking penalties hurts the team.

Kovy’s team. Definitely.

I guess all things equal…things balance out during the season…I believe they lost a similar type of game at some point. So take the two points and move on. Still waiting to hear of a trade…just cringing to hear that no-names have been rec’d and prospects given w/o unloading some more dead wood.

Note: why do we have Smolinski on the team…or better yet why is he on the power play…are the others that pathetic to have to resort to this. Again, why is he on the team? There has to be a logical reasoning…just can’t put my finger on it. Anyone?

Carey Price had a really good game, I would put him in against Philly on saturday If I was Gainey.

At this point lets just take the 2 pts and move on.lol The game wasn’t very entertaining….by that I mean the way Kovy and the boys were entertaining us a couple of weeks ago. They’re not quite clicking the way they were, the nice setups, everything going in….that sort of thing……and Kovy maybe holding on to the puck a little longer than he should without passing it off….but what the hell, lol…..we got the 2 pts and these guys should get the spark back…even the best of lines have their bad stints. We take what we can get now…..I just REALLY don’t wanna see again what happened last year.
Tied with the Pens again, 4 pts behind the Sens….and although I don’t think were gonna catch the Sens, it would be nice to at least hover around the positioning they have now….I just wanna see a playoiff appearance and play the best we can. Home and home with Philly next, lets get up for it and get the flame burning again.
2 points for Koivu….but before we go making his Prime Minister, lets see if he can keep it up….history says “no”, but lets wait for the proof. Remember one thing, this was an injury-ridden, bottom-of-the-batch team we just barely got by with the help of a PP in OT….but as I first said…lets take it, and move on, get our groove back and hopefully Gainey win lend a hand by adding some help. GO HABS GO !!!

Hey guys tell me what u think about this one. I doubt Columbus will do it but I sure would If Iwas Bob Gainey.
Ryder,1st round pick and Halak for Rick Nash.lol I wish. I know that theres a 50% chance that Tanguay might be coming here, but he’s not a superstar that gets a 100pts and hes 5. somehing mill.

#18 MrBigTime says:
February 14, 2008 at 4:51 pm

They don’t need Halak, and Ryder will be put into a offensive checking line role (guessing for anyone who may be interested in him)…

Not saying its u Stuo11, but people are just dreaming up the best player we would want, and something crappy to send back…

PS – Nash IS their franchise right now, and isn’t going anywhere…

#19 STUO11 says:
February 14, 2008 at 5:47 pm

I agree, but I think Alex Tnguay is a high possibility. Many people say koivu for Marleau, but why? Koivu is doing bad but not as bad as Marleau.

#20 Xtrahabsfan says:

Nash for Ryder ..lol… dial me in for what ever your smoking,cause it’s high time’s booty!

I agree that they won’t get him, I’m not that Stupid.

goalie : What's with the Margahauland link just below? It appears to be from a hacker. Any thoughts???
Margahayuland : hi all... sorry add this «link»
Senet1 : I want the Bruins to win anyway so that we pick ahead of them in the Draft.
Senet1 : Muller you got your wish NYR won game 4. So the Bruins will have to play another game at least.
Senet1 : He may just bring all three of the kids up.
muller93 : MB is forced to go out and get a big D-man. Missing Emelin for almost half the season is the last thing we needed to hear. Now going out and getting a big D-man is a MUST!!!
muller93 : Now for the Fu**en Bruins who have no business even being in the second round are going to get a nice rest. Yes the same goons who took out one of best D-man for 6 more months. There is NO Fu**en justice. Just venting--Ok i feel better now.
muller93 : So pissed to see the Rangers lay down and play like total crap. How did the Rangers beat the Caps? This team is playing with no heart--a must win and can only muster 23 shots...PATHETIC !!!
muller93 : Senet I did see Galchenyuks goal--Made a great move for the game winner. You can see the kid has so much confidence.
goalie : If Rangers get swept I wonder if Tortorella will get his walking papers? Or Glen Sather? They have tons of 'talent' but zero wins in this series.
goalie : It's really too bad we lost to the Sens as we would have played the Rangers and the way NYR are playing we would have beat them too. If only. If only!
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.
