Steve Begin Breaks Foot
-
Steve Begin fractured his foot in Sunday’s game against Columbus and will be out of the lineup yet again.
It feels like Begin hasn’t even been part of this team this year due to all the games he’s missed.
An important gritty player the Habs could have used down the stretch.

- 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.
- muller93 : Senet normally I would agree with you on not trading draft picks but we are not in a rebuilding stage. Sometimes draft picks can be a roll of the dice and it can take up to 3 years to be NHL ready. We have a good team and I agree with Stuo players like Clowe-Torres-Ott -Scott will make a big difference. Somebody has to protect Gallagher, he can't keep getting hit the way does--we need a tough forward so they think twice before going after Gallagher.
- Senet1 : Really a heathly Habs team would probably win more games against the Pens that we did against the Sens. Reason they Pens would not play as physical against us as against the Sens. If we get good goaltending we win at least two games.
- zpezada4ok : hello all «link»
- stuo11 : hes a tougher big guy too! Just a minor adjustment but will help a bit
- stuo11 : hes better than markov, and hes french who was in mention for defenceman of the year
- goalie : Markov for Beauchemin - an injury prone d-man for an ;old timer'd-man. Beauchemin is NOT what the Habs need in my opinion. He is a HUGE defensive liability.
- goalie : Stuo 11 I'd make that trade with Oilers fast BUT I doubt the Oilers will make that. Two marginal d-men at the best for a switch of first round picks - not a chance .
- stuo11 : markov for beachemin?
- stuo11 : let moen go
- stuo11 : maybe try and get steve begin back
- stuo11 : we wouldve kicked out all other teams but pens, sens,
- stuo11 : pens have alot of forwaRDS same with us but we have better goaltending
- stuo11 : theres styles of play goalie. Sens played us good, but lost games to southeast teams florida and tampa and get crushed by leafs EVERYTIME. sens and leafsd cant beat bruins but we do frequently

what does it feel like to have a 3 -0 lead? didn’t we have this same lead against Columbus? Hope we don’t stop playing, like we did on Sunday.
I’m happy for Higgins. It’s been a long drought for him. But guys, this is Washington, we’re playing, and if you think we’ve been playing bad, take a look at their record. horrific! Keep skating guys. don’t let up!
February 20, 2007 at 9:38 pm
Nice to see the first line and the kid line working ,that’s two out of four,it better than nothing .If we can just blow them rite out of the water,big time,it would bring back the team spirit. No Kovalev,Abby, Huet , Rivet and Niinimaa,NO PROBLEMS !!
February 20, 2007 at 9:45 pm
See what happens when Gainey is too busy looking for injured players? Watch out, when he gets back, he’s gonna thrust more Ninny and Kovalev types down our throat, and he’ll trade the kid line to give us ****! Anyone wanna bet that Gainey is gonna trade the kid line for a washed up underachiever? Like we need another old folgy with matching walker to match Johnson, another Mr. Nice Guy Left Wing walking hernia….enjoy this break from Gainey….
February 20, 2007 at 9:47 pm
OH.oh….
February 20, 2007 at 9:50 pm
Montreal is not knocking em down, just like I said earlier, no matter how good Halak is, if Montreal doesn’t stop them on the boards and sides, they are gonna tic tac toe it to the net!
February 20, 2007 at 9:55 pm
wow… talk about deja-vu…. except this time its one period sooner that all this is happening. Hopefully the Habs can stop em from getting another goal. Cuz we all know the habs have lost their confidence and won’t score another goal…
February 20, 2007 at 10:07 pm
I don’t mind it so much cause the young guy’s are only going to get better,there’s a little hope now and thus more enjoyable to watch.
February 20, 2007 at 10:09 pm
What a contrast between the kid line and the old folgy line of Johnson and the other senior citizen’s line Koivu…big contrast. If Gainey and Carbo can’t see what young talent can do to bring some life into the organization, then I say its too bad, what a waste. We can’t be having the habs brought down by veterans. Not that all veterans are this bad. I mean Gainey could do better finding other senior citizens who would fit nicely with rookies. But Johnson, Koivu and etc just don’t measure up no more. Even Murray, but you can see him try to match the spirit, but the legs just are not there.
February 20, 2007 at 10:13 pm
um Joshtm… you do know that all 3 goals were scored by the koivu line or are you watching a different game?
February 20, 2007 at 10:16 pm
OMG Just beautiful!!!
February 20, 2007 at 10:17 pm
WE’LL BLOW ME DOWN BOY
February 20, 2007 at 10:18 pm
Hey the kid line knocked them outa sync though. If we didn’t have the rookies the caps would find their groove and then Koivu or Markov would get a hissy fit penalty. I guess you just are not seeing it are you. By the way it was also the Koivu line that got scored against too, can’t be having it both ways….
As soon as Ryder scores, Montreal steps back on its heels yet again. Almost like where were they two minutes ago?
But hey, the other teams skate around, and knock down our veterans and score on them.
February 20, 2007 at 10:19 pm
Just when u least expect it Ryder decides to show us what he is capable of
February 20, 2007 at 10:22 pm
pop
February 20, 2007 at 10:22 pm
Excuse me Josh but for the second goal it was the kid line on it. And that one was way worst then the first goal we let in. And I’m not even sure that Koivu was on the ice for that one neither. Just watch out what you say man. I’m 100% sure that it was the lapierre line for the 2nd goal.
As for the third goal, well, it was bonky bonk. So far the goals went against pretty much every line so don’t blame the old timers only.
February 20, 2007 at 10:23 pm
Ryder has got his groove back now! Another shorty, what’s that now,16 a new record perhaps. I got a feeling that this season is starting to get back on track now. Don’t give up Habfans. KEEP THE FAITH BABY!!!! GO HABS GO !!!
Smiler2729 that was HILARIOUS MAN!! P#14
February 20, 2007 at 10:40 pm
I’m sorry but I’ll be wearing me shade’s for the third and gots the bag with the eye hole’s ready for ruff sea’s and It’s going to be so ruff out there you can hardly drink your beer , bouy !
February 20, 2007 at 10:51 pm

good ol SOURAY …..
February 20, 2007 at 11:13 pm
Keep up the good chatter everyone, here on the west coast, we are fed a steady diet of **** every Sat night on HNIC—meaning every sat ( almost exclusively ) it’s the Maple Leafs, quite obviously the ****** who decides the hnic sat games is nothing but a maple leaf *** kisser, who thinks that To is the center of the universe, we seldom ever get to see the Habs..unless of course they are playing T.O.
I enjoy your comments, keep up the good work, however Kovalev, Bonk and Samsonov are three totally useless scumbag pylons who need to be run out of town hitched to the bumper of any vehicle leaving town.
February 20, 2007 at 11:13 pm
GO GARTH
February 20, 2007 at 11:14 pm
WHOO HOOO
February 20, 2007 at 11:15 pm
nice way for Halak to start his career….. two strait wins
February 20, 2007 at 11:22 pm
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Time to get cautiously optomistic!
Habs win 5-3. Ryder and Higgins look like they’re coming around!
Oh, wait damnit, Higgins left with another injury. Well that just seems to be the way things go for this team.
The french media are already putting out columns and entire novels comparing Halak to Ken Dryden and Patrick Roy. It’s two games.
Kovalev not playing, the Habs possibly turning it around. Coinsidence? I think not.
Kovalev and Rivet should still be traded. Hey, if San Jose can’t get Souray maybe they’ll take rivet for Matt Carle, or more likely Josh Georges. And Washinton would take Kovalev to play with Semin or Ovechkin and apparently Datsyuk is almost a sure thing to go there in the summer.
But like I said, let’s get cautiously optomistic. Whooooooooooooooooooooo bring on those chumps in Nashville.
Oh, wait these standings are from 6 years ago. Let’s just bring up this years,
yeah, en hen, oh ****. And they just picked up who? Oh ****. They’re the best team in the west? When did that happen. Bloody Hell.
February 20, 2007 at 11:23 pm
Well ,you can forget about any trades now guy’s , Garth ‘s made sure of that…lol. We got two real team to play now, buckle up!!!
February 20, 2007 at 11:23 pm
Yo Josh, I just say the replays of the goals and they were both with the Lapierre line! Don’t rant about stuff that aint true next time…

February 21, 2007 at 12:50 am
or maybe Smiler got that hooker for Josh?
February 21, 2007 at 1:03 am
Does anyone know anything about Higgins injury? I heard it’s an upper body injury(shoulder). That’s all we need now. If he’s out for any appreciable time, we’re toast! It seems to be 1 injury after another. Before long, the whole Hamilton team will be playing. Do we have bad luck or what?
February 21, 2007 at 1:10 am
They said he was going to get x-rays to check it out so I don’t think we will know before tomorrow at the earliest… And it has to happen when he starts scoring again…. Such a bummer!
February 21, 2007 at 1:14 am
R habs,man we be winning with those BULLDOGS dude, hell ,bring the whole team, they be 4 real.
February 21, 2007 at 1:25 am
Our next 3 games are going to be tough ones. In Nashville Thursday, Sat afternoon in Long Island, and Monday against leafs. Well, we haven’t won an afternoon games this season, and Nashville is the best team in the NHL, and we can’t beat the leafs, so I don’t know. I do think Gainey will wait until we’ve played 3 more games(Tuesday), before he makes any moves. If we lose all 3, he’s selling. If we take 2 out of 3, we’re buying. That’s just the way it is. And please, no more injuries! Next, Youppi will slip and fall. Do the bulldogs have a mascot?
February 21, 2007 at 1:43 am
Nashville ,well we be losing that one, but I guarantee throw in SOME OF THE BIGGER TOUGHER BULLDOGS IN THE MIX AND IT WILL MESS UP THE PILE OF LAFF’S. They’re expecting the same old small Habs ,so don’t give them that,ROCK THIER WORLD PLAY OFF STYLE….YEAH…WOOOOOWOOO…
February 21, 2007 at 2:21 am
I say Habs beat Nashville…
February 21, 2007 at 2:35 am
I say your high
February 21, 2007 at 2:59 am
HIggins: scores twice
Ryder: scores twice
Joshtm: Still hasn’t scored with a chick
February 21, 2007 at 3:02 am
The vets really led the way tonight. Laps line played well but they made many rookie mistakes in their own end.
Best defensive game of the season . Only 18 shots against. TOo bad Semin went around Souray for the goal becaus eotherwise Souray was a monster in the defensive end tonight. Same with Komi and Boullion.
February 21, 2007 at 3:04 am
Gainey to meet with the media tomorrow. Rumour has it, that its to announce Joshtm’s real identity (Rejean Houle)
February 21, 2007 at 3:06 am
Hey josh:
Sorry I got to take the cheap shots at you but you make it far to easy. Constantly contradicting yourself and everytime you make a bold statement it is proven wrong the next game. I like your passion although sometimes HATE can be a horrible thing to pride yourself on.
February 21, 2007 at 3:06 am
Seriously Komi is da bomb!
February 21, 2007 at 3:44 am
ok well ima go take a snooze but before I want to do somthin…
