- 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.
- 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

Halak will see his first game against LA… just look at the schedule, and Price had a 3 day break before playing again on Thursday…
Thursday will be a good game, if I can stay awake that late to watch it…
March 5, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Apparently it’s Halak on Thursday. It was said on Team990
March 5, 2008 at 3:26 pm
news flash! we have a #1 goalie, Carey Price, let’s not start thinking that if Halak plays good one game that he should then play until he has a bad one, Price is our man, he needs to be treated like it, not thinking he’ll be the back up after one bad game, or even two or three, sure give Halak some games, but let’s not kid ourselves into thinking we’ll get stable goaltending by switching who’s our #1 guy every two weeks, now that’s a recipe for disaster!
March 5, 2008 at 5:49 pm
I think hab fans get really upset becauase most of us are used to winning, We’ve won 24 cups. Look at gretzky and how mad he is when he looses, It’s because he’s used to being in the spotlight but now he’s coach of the crappy Phoenix Coyotes.
March 5, 2008 at 5:50 pm
and I agree wth you patrick, putting Price back up for a game could rattle his confidence.
March 5, 2008 at 6:09 pm
I mostly agree with you, except that lately habs fans are in fact used to losing (over the last 15 years), I’ve been a Habs fan for 20 years and I’ve only seen 1 cup win, and two appearances. Though I really think I could see cup #2 in June!
March 5, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Price is staring tomorrow!!!
March 5, 2008 at 6:24 pm
(STARTING)
March 5, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Phoenix is not a crappy team. look at their record. they could make it into the playoffs. And who annionted Price #1? HE’S DONE NOTHING TO PROVE HIMSELF AS A #1 GOALIE! Let the best goalie play. I say give Halak a chance, because I believe, (along with others) that Halak will prove to be the better of the 2 goalies! Let the 2 compete! wining a calder cup and gold medal doesn’t automatically prove you’re an NHL goalie. the problem for Price, is the same as Latendresse. Before either player played 1 NHL game, everyone said they were superstars. Overhyped! I wish the media would tone down the accolades until proven. It’s obvious that all this pressure is too much for them, and that’s why they have crapped out. In a city like SJ or Anaheim they would bloom, but not here.
March 5, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Well I guess I would put my two cents worth in here. Price will be the best of the two goalies as time progresses, however, Halak needs work and I still say to this day had he played the last game of the season against Toronto last year we would have been in the playoffs. Price has poise but I think he is having trouble adjusting to the speed of the NHL game, some shoots seem to surprise him with their quick shot. However, I still think that Price needs to play because he has to be prepared for next year. I believe that next year is our cup year.
March 5, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Who anointed Price #1 ? Well I believe it was Guy Carboneau and Bob Gainey.
March 5, 2008 at 10:24 pm
Carbo didn’t, and also didn’t want to play him at the beginning of the season. Did it because Gainey said so.
March 5, 2008 at 10:27 pm
.Well i was thinking “Grier” …”Brashear”..so(they are big and they are black bad asses!) ..anyway they got stomped..and if you happen to look at my honorable mentions ..Pacum bud..you’d see that every one scored a goal or got a point…and you have not yet to come up with one prediction in any blog that has come true..you don’t know anything about hockey..you find maybe one “buddy” on here you can team up with and point fingers at everyone else….so it doesn’t make you smart..it makes you dumb!..very dumb!
Quick to judge and slow to understand!….lyrics from a real good Rush” song…yes i have tickets and will going to the concert!
The world is full of mistakes..just happen that some live to make it through a nine month cycle and become “blog beaters”
We can start this **** again if you want..but Ive gained the respect of the other bloggers here…Ive helped them get free streaming games on the computer to watch, Ive made sound and true predictions…and Ive actually got “THANK YOU” from some guys here..its cool to be respected and looked up to…oh yeah you wouldn’t know that…
March 5, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Oh by the way “pacum” buddy…in previous mentions about RAP..Ive thought this one up a LONG TIME AGO!
Go to TSN and look up NHL(if you can)
Go to the review videos of the sports panel and see what they have to say about poor officiating and the games it has cost some teams because of it..
I say I’m pretty “DEAD ON”…there may be a “REFEREE ACCOUNTABILITY PANEL” yet bud!
March 5, 2008 at 10:32 pm
PEACE to all my friends here….
March 5, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Ive been watching and talking HABS since 1975…Ive met many dignitaries and coaches and have to VIP lounges and had drinks with some of the finest gentlemen you will ever meet(God bless Roger Nielson!)
Its east to make decisions sitting on our butts..but its a lot tougher and harder on G.M and coaches than we think…I have friends right now coaching in SJHL junior leagues here out west…
Mr PACUM..wheres your experience?
March 5, 2008 at 10:43 pm
A pointer for the “finger pointers”…the best way to know your team is to watch ALL THE OTHERS!
remember PETER PUCK?..well he says to stay HEALTHY is to go the farthest in the playoffs!
March 5, 2008 at 11:19 pm
okay okay you’re amazing
March 6, 2008 at 2:37 am
Yes “iceman”..you bet..you think..but you don’t know….do me a favor ok ?”big guy”..you must have a dojo in your city…walk in ask the instructor for a “spar’..then get back to me
next idiot please!,,,that was easy…
Any way..Washington’s got a pretty slack remaining schedule..so there in the playoffs…any bets they go to the final?
Thanks “iceman”..all that talk about fat got me hungry…im going to make a big sandwich with extra “mayo”
Because im 5’11′ 180 pounds and have to go for my run in the morning
Take care of the heart..oh i forgot you don’t have one…lol
March 6, 2008 at 2:41 am

March 6, 2008 at 2:50 am
How does your boyfriend put up with you? Christ do you ever shut up?
March 6, 2008 at 2:55 am
You want a perdiction Habman? I have one. I perdict you will die a lonely man HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
March 6, 2008 at 2:56 am
Do you guys in Ottawa-Gatineau have Habs club or friends gathering on game days? I left Montreal, but now realy wanted to join a Habs fan team in Ottawa-Gatineau area.
villagame@yahoo.com
March 6, 2008 at 7:37 am
you guys have to have faith in your team. But If montreal osses tonight I’ll be pissed also.lol
March 6, 2008 at 8:58 am
Habman:
So, you are calling me FAT.
I am far from fat. Just because I am only 5’11″ & 260 lbs I have to be fat right.
Let me tell you something boy. I have a 64″ chest. 38″ waist. 25″ biceps. My neck is 23″. I have 11% body fat. Now is that fat to you? I bench over 400lbs. I too have done my share martial arts, extreme fighting. I have done it all.
March 6, 2008 at 11:23 am
Iceman and Habman get over yourselves. This site is about the Habs not about your egos. Lets just stick to the Habs ok.
March 6, 2008 at 12:11 pm
Price is in? Price is out? Price is in? Price is out? PRICE HAS TO BE IN !!!
He’s our guy….and the Montreal Canadiens organization is not gonna ruin this kid (argueably like the Pens did with Fleury). Montreal knows hockey if nothing else, and know how players must mature and be brought through the ranks. Price has to play to be a top notch goalie in this league. Brodeur, Luongo, Nabokov, and even our old buddy Roy all PLAYED…its practice…you get better by practice, which is playing alot of games. I’m not saying Halak should’nt see the ice, I’m saying Price must be given a chance to redeem himself after a bad game….he’s been sitting on that for 3 days now, and for a 20 year old, you just know thats stewing with him…he’s wants back in there to prove his role.
Let Price do what he has to do tonight and give Halak a game in LA. Keep the bad mental images out of his head, give him a chance for a W tonight and let him prepare for Anaheim…cuz he’s gonna be called on again for a big game then. We’re in the final stretch here where 1 goalie must play at least 90% of the games to get ready for playoff action. No going back and forth, no shittin around….if Price is the man…PLAY HIM…let the team rally around him and show faith after a bad performance and let the chips fall where they may. Let’s do it boys……GO HABS GO !!!
March 6, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Your right.
I’m sorry.
Sorry Habman can’t compare to “The total Package”.
OK. I will stick to Hockey.
March 6, 2008 at 12:29 pm
You all know this blog site gone bonkers eh,lol….from one crazed fan to another.GO-HABS-GO…
March 6, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Right GO LEAFS GO…….
Hang on a minute? ****!
I mean GO HABS GO. Yeah that’s right. GO HABS GO.
March 6, 2008 at 12:44 pm
why did markov get a game misconduct? What did he do?
March 6, 2008 at 12:49 pm
he probably shot off about the offiiciating.
March 6, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Carey Price will be in if he wins. Last game he lost, So Halak will see his first NHL experience since about this time last year….coincidence, hmmm perhaps?
March 6, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Chris, no coincidence whatsoever since he ain’t in nets, it’s price for tonight.
March 6, 2008 at 3:27 pm
we will see when the puck drops who will actually be in net wont we. I can guarantee you, it will be Halak.
March 6, 2008 at 4:04 pm
RDS has reported that Carey will be starting. Guy Carbonneau wants to make sure everyone knows that he’s the starter. But They should let himstart saturday.
