Comments on: Saku Koivu’s Return: Pre-season Game 1 http://www.habsblog.com/the-habs/saku-koivus-return-pre-season-game-1/ Mon, 07 May 2012 14:05:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: habsland here http://www.habsblog.com/the-habs/saku-koivus-return-pre-season-game-1/comment-page-1/#comment-6684 habsland here Sun, 24 Sep 2006 21:01:41 +0000 http://www.habsblog.com/?p=337#comment-6684 I am a bit concerned about the habs. Yes I know it's only preseason, but to be honest, our opponents look much sharper, and they look like professionals. We are looking like anmateurs. We don't seem to know what to do with the puck when they get possession. Something , or should I say, alot of things are out of sync. Do you agree? Thank god, the season has not started yet. I am very worried about our center ice position. There is nobody backing up Koivu, and he's not 100%. Ribeiro, they say is 1 step slower than his linemates, and we know already he can't skate, so what are we going to do, and who will fill centerman position on the 2nd line? Plekanac is no better than a 4th line centerman, with no scoring talent. Did Yanic Perrault resign ? Maybe we can turn a winger into a centerman. I am a bit concerned about the habs.

And remember, their opponents aren't playing all their regulars either! The Canadiens as usual have no offence! that will be their downfall. You can say anything you want about these games not counting, but nobody likes to lose, and lose, and lose! That's the recipe for the habs, because nothing was not enough was done in the off season to supply us with more offence, and I am extremely dissapointed at Gainey. He did nothing to improve this team, and I don't see any way they will make the playoffs this year. Boston and Toronto are much improved, more so than the habs. I may not be an optimist, as far as the habs are concerned, but I am a REALIST! Boston, will finish higher in the standings than us. Toronto will finish higher in the standings than us. Buffalo will finish higher in the standings than us. Ottawa will finish high in the standings than us. Guess what that translates to?

Between Souray, Koivu and Samsonev, any of those three have the knack for getting stupid penalties that cost the game....But then again when all three are at their peak hey the goals more than make up for the stupid penalties. I can't wait to see Samsonev and Koivu. The Habs still don't have size or power yet, you would have thought by now that Gainey would have realized in the new NHL you need size to basically push the other goalie and score. This year the goalies are still getting the crap beaten out of them. Any bets on how long before one of the other teams hurts Huet? What's his name, Corey Price, the new backup looks good too. To bad we have to wait a week before any of the games are broadcast, for those of us who don't have access to NHL channel on the dish...

The only thing that was important was Koivu's health which seemed to be better than expected. The games really don’t mean much.
