Hopefully MTL can win and Ottawa can lose!!!

Go Habs Go, this ain’t a rematch, it will just be another beating. Go Habs Go.

Well,got to say some nice hits by Ryder,but he’s not neting any in nor Higgins. Huet’s doing ok,but not many scoring chances or offence from the Habs. We are down 2 goals and 1/2 the game left to play and even though we are playing good D. AIN’T GOING TO WIN UNLESS WE GET 3 GOALS.

HEY Pactum this Lats for you .

at least we got a point, but too bad our defence didn’t show up tonight.
Nevertheless we’ll take the point because Boston is beating Ottawa.
Wow, if only we had a player like Ovechkin! c’mon Bob get us a sniper!
And please put Ryder out of our miseries.

Still dissapointed by Koivu’s line, but nice to see the team play well when behind. A very important point.

Ovechkin FOR Ryder straight across.lol

ovechkin and kovalev on the same team……priceless…….damn i’m dreaming again ….

LADY BING for Sid “the kid”..”IRONMAN HARDASS NON COMPLAINER AWARD FOR OVECHKIN”!!!!!Sid would be crying for his mom with a beating like OV got…Sids a “homo”…sapien…lol…lol

The emergence of the Kostitsyn brothers is making all the difference for this team. They have elevated the lines that they play on. They play with emotion,have great moves and Sergei can certainly hit (even hit Brashear last night). Latendresse is also starting to come around. Don’t forget that he, as well as Sergei, are only twenty years old. Everyone is rightly talking about Ovechkins play last night however don’t forget that the Habs came back from a 2 goal deficit with approximatly 6 minutes left in the game and were also down 3-0 at one time. They never gave up and as a result their confidence is soaring. All they need to do now is beat Ottawa to show that they are a serious contender. Tall order,however if they keep playing they way they are all is possible. Ahhh, to be able to dream again.

Thank you Dancan81….finally others are seeing thats its not just Ryder who’s not getting it done. Ryder has been the fallguy all year so far…he’s been getting it from the fans, he’s the only one on those top lines who’s been benched for not producing, and Guy is still moving him around from line to line. Higgins and Koivu are playing just as horrible…it just stands out more for Ryder cuz he’s been the “goal scorer”. Honestly, this is Koivu’s worst year yet, and for a player at the skill level he’s apparently at, it seems whoever Guy puts with him is getting dragged down offensively too. And it seems as if Higgins is gonna be in that spot for the rest of the year. Guy is playing these two as if they’re conjoined twins. They stay together no matter how poorly they play, and its been quite a while now. They’re not producing with or without Ryder, and they’re not being benched or moved around or replaced on a shift by Smolinski. Higgins got hands like lobster claws this year and can’t bury anything, and Koivu is playing like a 3rd liner at best. I’m not saying Ryder should’nt be blamed for this line producing nothing, but he should’nt be blamed alone. And thanks again Dancan81 for seeing this and saying it, I’ve been waiting all year for someone to recognize this.

Anyways, we got a point last night that we really should’nt have gotten, so I can’t be upset by that. Played poorly, but thats gonna happen from time to time. Under 20 shots I think, but this point is a good thing…..good teams can do this, play poorly and still get points, so this is another move in the right direction for our Habs. Thats 5 behind the Sens now, and 5 more head to head matches yet this year with 2 of those coming up soon….could be interesting.

One more thing I have to mention is becoming so painfully obvious thats its not even argueable anymore(for anyone watching the games, that it)…How Begin still has a job here is unbelievable. Listen, the Guy is just not an NHL caliber player. Taking stupid penalties at the wrong times and not having the skill level to play against other NHL players are two things he’s shows almost every night, but the last few games have been standouts. Twice in one game he put us down to 5 on 3, both of which resulted in goals against a few nights ago, and last night Guy actually thought this guy could play against Ovechkin, …we saw how Ovechkin was shut down last night….4 goals, 5 points…its laughable. When you’re in the offensive end, high along the boards, and you flip the puck over the glass on the backboards resulting in a penalty…thats a lack of skill. He gave up a two on one break last night for trying to hold the puck along the boards in the corner of the offensive end without cycling it behind the net where Smolinski was…the result was, Wash got the puck, these two guys were caught deep, and Wash scored again. He went minus 3 last night, the worst on the team, and yet, was still on the ice with Smolinski, against Ovechkin, with 1:30 left in 4 on 4 OT…IN OVERTIME???? Oh yeah, I might add, that resulted in Ovechkins game winning goal. Anything else need to be said? I mean, someone out there gotta see this too, please tell me you do. I’ve really had enough of this guy, and Carbo’s undying devotion to him…he’s hurting the team night after night by doing things are directly responsible for goals against. And why he’s out there and Dandanault is sitting boggles the mind.
Now, I can’t change this, I can just point it out, but mark my words fellow Habs fans, I’m saying right here….this guy is going to cost this team a victory in a very big, very important game yet this year, and we’re all gonna be left scratching our heads yet again as to why. He’s not skilled enough to play the type of game he’s out there to play at this level, and last night was just one more attribute to this. As one of the best defensive forwards ever, Carbo can’t see this? Christ I’m not at ice level, and I can. But if Guy likes him so much that he’s gonna keep giving him regular shifts against stars of this league, instead of throwing him out at intervals to throw his body in front of shots(which is all he’s good for), we’re gonna suffer for it…wait and see.
Four game stretch at home coming up guys, pull it back together and lets catch these Sens boys. GO HABS GO !!!

Somebody flatten Ovechkin already.. He’s starting to annoy me..

I’m all talked out for now, lol. Just waiting for the 2 NY home games now. GO HABS GO !!!
