An oddity: Three goals, two unassistewd, off turnovers.
But Scott Gomez got hurt.

Who’s this Under Armour guy they traded Seguin and Nash for? Must be quite a player.
Reverse psychology worked for Price…Trade PK now while his value is high. DO IT PG!!
Weber: 4gp, 2pts = 41 over 82 games.
PK: 25pg 9pts = 29.5 over 82 games.
Obviously JM is playing the true offensive talent!
(just kidding – mind you, as much as i want PK in, i really can’t make an argument against anyone who is playing instead… nice problem to have).

Front page isn’t working for me either. Cuts off at the bottom of the “Game 27″ tile. the last thing that loads is the full picture and:
AUDIO: To come
<!–[endif]–><!–[endif]–>
Nothing in the right hand column loads.
The reason PK is sitting is because he was making too many mistakes of late and Weber is playing dynamite in his place. Simple as that.
price looks like Pauly D from jersey shore in his picture…he needs a new one

OK, so I’m not much on tag lines but the off-season FREE TIMO campaign was such a resounding success I’ve decided to go for something even better.
My new tag:
Reverse psychology worked for Price…Trade PK now while his value is high. DO IT PG!!
but after you view that video, Make sure you come right back here to HIO!
I highly recommend you all go to TSN and listen/view the Habs/Senators Ice Chips video!!
To Hear Spacek talking about Hamerlick is priceless!!
Yahh, I saw Hammer flying up the ice like that, and told Hammer to stay away from the Red Bull, that stuff not good for you,, lol,,,
Spacek/Hammer are one of the best defence pairing in the NHL right now!
PK’s ego was running in high gear and his play was becoming more and more selfish. His attitude needed a serious adjustment.
3 games in the press box is not uncommon for any rookie and greatly aides their development. PK will be even better once he gets back in.
It’s hard to mature and grow while you are in the midst of everything. A week off is going to do him a world of good.
I’m one of the few that likes him. He annoyed me at first, but his ridiculous enthusiasm won me over. Like Larry David, at fist you think, “how could anybody really be like this?” Then after a while, he just becomes funny.
lol to your third point, if that were the case, then wouldn’t Gomez be doing amazing right now?
Offense sells tickets – defense wins championships.
From the Olympics, most epic name I ever heard for an athlete.
And a killer one-up line when you’re trying to edge out other guys with the ladies “Tore Vikingstad, Olympian”.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
Sorry, to late DearyLeary. We (Leif Eriksson, the viking) did that around the year 1000. Sorry bout that…..
Brilliant!
As much as I like Subban, I think the decision to scratch him for tonight’s game is the right one. Sitting out will only improve his game in the long run, as he comes to realize what is expected of him in Martin’s team-first approach to the game. Plus, I think Weber deserves a good look. He may be the point man on the power play that the Habs have been missing. The Habs with Weber are a better team than without Weber. I still would like to see Gorges, Spacek, and Hamrlik get some time off to rest and recover during the long season. There are some back to back games coming this week, that would be an excellent time to let some of the veterans get a breather.
If Weber proves he is ready to play full time, there is no need to trade for Kevin Bieksa, as has been widely rumored. Bieksa will be an UFA after the season, and if really wants to play in Montreal, the Habs will be able to sign him this Summer without giving up any assets.
One more thing, when Subban comes back, I think Subban and Weber together at the points on the power play would be a good fit. This would cut down Hamrlik’s minutes a tad, which would keep him fresh to play against the opposition’s top lines.
You just made my Christmas!
I was about to point out the Dubé clip, but i’m pretty sure people would have complained that it was in french and that it was not credible since it was coming from the “french media”..
Thanks Boone!

Wow…remembering Vikingstad form the Olympics? Or are you really into norwegian hockey?
Mike Richards and Don Cherry must be pissing themselves. They win!
Please don’t invade our shores to rape and pillage. We meant no offense… kinda like the Canadiens, no offense.
Yeah I’m still rubbing the Price thing into my friend’s faces because they said last year Price isn’t an NHL goalie and some people even said he sucks and will never make it in Montreal. Halak was our saviour last year, but guess what, Price is the goalie to put us up to the top of the standings.
Yeah the immediate reaction from around the league that we need to grab a defenceman right away is ridiculous. We’re 7 deep right now, with a couple of projects in the A. Nothing to worry about right now.
But just like last year everyone equates great goaltending with the goalie being great. While Price has been pretty spectacular, I think the defensive effort of the team is still going unnoticed. Even without Markov this team is responsible in its own end.
In the end our weakness is still putting the puck in the net. If we can grab another top 6 forward (preferably top 3, and a Right handed shot on the wing) I think it can turn us into the team to beat from the East.
Best streaming website ever. Firstrow.net everyone should check it out. I usually stream everything from UFC to Hockey there.
Punkster, you have to tell us these things (re: snow tires). How else can we plan our weekends at Mt Tremblant?
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an incline-plan wrapped helically around an axis?
People are way to worked up about Subban. I guarantee in 10 games this will be a non-story either way. As long as the peanut gallery has its way the sky will always be falling. Subban has sat 2, he’ll sit another. At some point he’ll get another shot and he’ll be back to making the crowds “oooohh” and “aaawww”. The kid is fantastic.. and he’s still a kid. If there is anyone in that room that I want him to eat a dinner with – it’s Josh Gorges. This situation is entirely media and fan driven. There is no reason for overly simplistic, and completely unproductive arguments about how the situation is being handled. This is a Kilimanjaro being made of a mole-hill. What a terrible problem we have – 7 reliable defensemen.
Are you knocking the birthplace of Tore Vikingstad? Five-minute major for you.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
even though i do not understand French very well, I laways watch the Habs on RDS over TSN or CBC. TSN and CBC consistently put down Montreal and talk up the Leafs. What a joke. Maguire is annoying to hell….i have never met anyone who likes his commentary, and I do not understand how he maintains his employment.
Of course not. Getting a weak signal through an old AM radio we got from the polar bear express which is our only form for transportation to the outside world. If the vikings don’t come knocking I will sit by the fire listening to the game ;)
Just a few pre-game musings from punkster’s easy chair:
weeks ago. And I knew we would get even more December 7. How? I booked
to have the winter tires installed December 8. Happens every time. So
all you folks out there who think my predictions are wrong, well
just….naaa naaa na naaaa naaaaaa.
another. First he’s benched because he makes a couple of mistakes. Then
he’s benched because JM is a “moron”.
Then he’s benched because of excessive cockiness. And now we hear it has
something to do with his attitude in the room. So here I sit looking
for someone to blame for all this because that’s what we do best here;
lay blame. How am I supposed to know who to blame if there are so many
reasons? Who’s right? Arrrgghhhh, I’m so confused!
you dump on the player the better he’ll be in the long run. With that in
mind I think it’s time to shift the spotlight directly on to PK. This
is entirely his fault. He’s immature, rude, obnoxious and has a weak
glove hand…er…lateral move…I mean…backhand. Yes, backhand. He
must be traded now while his value is at its peak. DO IT PG!!!
thingy is so much psychosis displayed by so many over so trivial a
matter.
JM indicated something very important in his pre-game interview on the main page of HIO…sitting PK and playing Weber shows the depth of the teams D…I think this is important when we consider we just lost Markov, our best world class D-man for the season.
I think a lot of people and GM’s around the league have been think that the Habs and PG will panic and go out and make a panic deal for another defenceman to try and fill the void left by Markov. Obviously the more perceived “panic” involved in any deal at this time will cost us a lot in talent and picks in return…I think the very best situation now is that we continue to play Weber at this time and sit PK (who everyone knows is a strong up and coming talent) and keep winning as a team. The longer we go with winning now in our post-Markov era using relatively the unknown talent of these two rookies, the more leverage we have if we want to make a move for another player later on.
If we trade from a position of perceived strength and depth on the blueline and not from a panic position we are more likely to pick some other teams pockets than have them fleece us of our future.
And who knows, if all goes well on the next road trip and through December, we will set ourselves up for a possible trade for a scoring power forward or point man that will help take us into the cup final this year without losing next years crop of talented players.
There’s Internet and computers in Norway?
Pretty big Mike Richards poster hanging behind them. Gross. Cool vid though.
FREE TIMO was your ultimate, Dave. You can’t top that… your efforts will be futile.
As much as I think the habs need a solid #1 D-man to take some of the ice time away from Spatch and Hammer, the habs simply can’t afford to take on more contracts that won’t expire next year. The list of D-men that can fill that role is extremely short, I think McCabe, Bieksa and someone else kinda maybe sorta fits those conditions, but given what the habs have right now, it might be better just to hold out.
Markov goes under the knife soon I think. Once the news is out that he will either make a fully recovery or not, you can expect the discussion to start.
Oh right, I also have this feeling that the habs don’t really want to make a trade right now. If the opporunity came to unload Gomez’s contract somehow reared its mythical head, the habs would probably jump on that, but.. yeah.
Think I’ll stay up for this one. Puck drops 01:10ish AM!
The thing is, Chorra wanted Subban to sit down, shut up because Subban was a Hab. He used Mike Richards, a league-renowned cheap shot player to back him up, because when Richards talks about showing respect, we need to listen. We should ask David Booth if we need to take a lecture from Richards about respect. Or anyone Richards elbows have met in the last few years.
Subban never made a throat slash gesture at the WJC. He never was suspended in the AHL for making an obscene gesture to an official. Nazem “Magic Hands” Kadri did these things. Subban entered training camp saying “I’m here to play for my spot.” and did so. Kadri went in, played like he had earned a spot and didn’t have to try, his only good performance when he had over 7 minutes of PP time. He didn’t start playing hard until he was exiled to the AHL, which according to Dan Chorra, was an injustice against God and Man.
We’re tired of him playing favourites. He mentions the Loafs making the playoffs after their little 4-game win streak, now that they’re in the dumps he’s not mentioning how badly he hyped the team.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
R. Whitney brings offense and could quarterback our PP. With 21 pts on the 6th worst team in the league he would be second in scoring behind Pleks…not a bad bit of offense to add to a team that has neither a PP quarterback or much offensive scoring at the best of times.
Innuendo and hearsay. I have yet to see any evidence of this ‘cocky’ attitude that PK supposedly has.
For SD and others who are claiming that no-one is saying (pace Don Cherry) that the Habs themselves want P.K. to modify his attitude, here is a (poor) translation of the Yvon Pedneault article linked to above by Mr. Boone:
“It is clear that Martin hasn’t liked the attitude of Subban for several weeks. It is clear also that he hasn’t appreciated the comportment [the mot juste] of his young defenseman toward veterans. The youngster gives flippant (cocky?) answers and is therefore not always [behaving] in the team’s best interests.”
What gives you the impression we need more defencemen?
We need another top six forward.
You are probably right Rugger
But I also believe he still deserves to be voted an all star in the AHL,
because that is why he was called up to the big team.
4 million cap hit for another two seasons is a bit much to swallow. With Gorges coming up and Markov and Hammr and Gill expiring, I don’t think I would want to tie my hands around him. But a player like him would work.
And we might have to give up something significant to get him. So, I don’t know. Maybe we can look at some other options.
“It must be love!”
can’t go by that..he could go 6 games without a point..and than again..he could make more points than that
Word.
What do people here think of a trade for Ryan Whitney (Oilers)…21 pts, +6, plays >22:00 min per game…$4M for next 3 years..
I think he would be a nice offensice addition from a non-conferrence rival…
What do you think and if we were to trade for him, what would it cost us in return?
GO HABS GO
I’ll be at the game tonight, workin’. Should be a good one (because I think we’re gonna win).
Thanks!
I hope it doesn’t lag

Physcal Chemistry and Ecology…yuck! Cramming…I should have gone to the classes. Now, I ahve to watch them for the first time AND memorize shit. Long night ahead. Like yesterday, over with Molecular Biology which was a horrible exam. Suffice to say I’ll be studying all day. wish there were more hours in a day or that humans didn’t need any sleep!
“It must be love!”
I have it on good authority on January 6th, 2011 Sid will have some issues when Tommy Jagr, Hal Gill and Josh Gorges unite to make him miserable once more as they aren’t very nice to him by forcing him off of the puck and *gasp* occasionally making physical contact with him.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
Study, girl…study.
Reverse psychology worked for Price…Trade PK now while his value is high. DO IT PG!!
Your post is Waaayyy too sensible for a lot of folks on this site. Thanks for putting things in perspective. Only Hab fans would squabble over the problem of having 7 reliable defensemen!
Fan since ’71
On another note, I think the attention Croaby is getting cannot be shoved aside but I think the Wings are not getting any credit for the amazing season they are having. 17-5-3 is an amazing record and if you watch them play, they’re just such a force. It’ll be fun to watch the Habs match-up to them. And Nik Lidstrom, no words to describe the defenseman he still is.
Sad that all people talk about is Crosby and his numbers. He’s good, we got the message, now get over it.

Here’s a clip of Gorges, Price and Lappy at the Sports Rousseau signing last Sunday for all my girls (and guys) out there. Enjoy!
Btw, I think it’s a guaranteed win tonight. Whenever, I don’t watch the games this season coz of exams, Habs are 7-0. No countering that right? We’ll see!
“It must be love!”
Exactly. I don’t want another casual shutdown D man, I want PK “GTFO of my way” Subban. But that’s just me I guess….
Come On All! Go and vote for Max Pac and Webber for the AHL All Star fan balloting that opened today!
I just voted the boys in there! they both deserve it!
Dany Dube is one of the good ones!

OK, all I hope is that PG gets someone good in return for PK!!
And after your FREE TIMO success, HTF you know what you are doing!!
PK’s ego is what makes him special. When was the last time you saw any Hab talking smack to opposing players. I think he was singularly responsible for driving Crysby crazy during the playoffs. JM should turn the kid loose!
The Finnish National Team is calling on the services of C Joonas Nattinen at their WJC Evaluation Camp, Nattinen is a 2-time member of their WJC Squad and has also played twice for their Under-18 team. The 19-year old center coming off of an achilles tendon injury from the start of his season had 1G, 3A as a 17-year old and 4A as an 18-year old in the Under-20s. Hopefully, this tournament is an opportunity for him to break out as the Habs need to sign him this summer to retain his rights.

Has anyone else noticed how often Cammalleri and Gionta score in the same game? It’s like they have a competition.
Looks like you will be pulling your own goalie tonight,lol.
I like Gomez a lot as a player. I like all the elements of the game he brings and how he fits JM’s system, regardless of his cap hit or his early season points slump, I see him as a valuable cog in the machine.
However, this is an opportunity to see what kind of organizational depth the Habs have. So if Gomez is out for a few games, do they call up MaxPac and use one of the centres they have currently in their line-up or do they call up Desharnais or someone else?
Well, I just never considerd quitters to be a part of “us”.
Reverse psychology worked for Price…Trade PK now while his value is high. DO IT PG!!
Don’t do it, Dave. Even strength play comes right after.
I hope so, because Picard has been bad (his first bad outing since the beginning, so he’s forgiven) and Weber hasn’t exactly helped the PP like he was supposed to. As was stated before – he’s too small to overpower anyone along the boards. Subban is bigger and has a large stick – much better along the boards.
I wonder how gomez is replaced actually…
Yes, that’s is a safe bet
ROFL!

Wow, Laps almost with a hilight reel goal.
Interesting, if Gomez is short term, they could call up Pacioretty for a cup of coffee you could shift him with Eller and Cammy for a 2nd line. Put Halpern back with Darche and Pouliot, than generate a line of Pyatt-Laps-Moen? Something to try.
Maxwell being injured makes the call-up of a new centre rather easy for MTL though.

Reasonable yes. But reasonableness has nothing to do with it.

Snap!
I wish Max would rush like that more often.. he’s clearly capable of highlight reel moves, but instead he usually just skates the puck into the boards..
Weber has actually been excellent along the boards the last 3 games. He’s been effectively using his body and stick to take people off the puck.
LMAO

oooohhhh…. don’t like to see that … bad luck for Leclaire…. looked like that knee wasn’t meant to bend in that direction once he jammed it against the post and got himself shoved back into the net …
He’s like that. You hardly notice him, then he jars you awake by pulling off some superstar move.
Yeah, but unlike last year’s Habs they came back strong in the 3rd with 2 more goals
Nothing is reasonable with J.M.

You thought Kostitsyn was good on that 5 minute major? Really? Always second on the puck? A dissenting view is automatically called trolling. Okay, how’s this. Go Habs Go. Go Habs Go. Do you feel better now?
You called it.
Dump ‘n’ chase over and over and over on the PP, it doesn’t work, so the Habs dump ‘n’ chase some more. None of the team’s o-zone entry specialists are on the ice.
You showed up to complain today, that’s all you’ve done so far and you were wrong on the goal against Price to boot and went “1 goal on six shots” as your argument even though the shot was deflected by his own defencemen.
Forgive me for not bowing to your BS.

Kovy who?
nice win boys. love the way they grab price by the mask at the end of the game. this team is gellin’, and going far. woot!
Apparently he just left atthe beginning of the second period. They said that he has a lower body injury. His back was apparently “hurting”. And the thing is, he didn’t really take a bad hit or anything…

Jesus, Berkie, now I have to fire off another email.
Nina…please. It’s a joke. I posted it as my tag this evening after all the bull being spoken about why PK was benched, why he’s still not playing, why he’s not like in the dressing romm, why Martin hates him and all the terribly silly BS stories flaoting around out there. It’s like with Price last year. The kid had a tough season and many people wanted him gone and look at him now.
Rest assured, it’s a joke

That should do it for the game, too.

25 IN WHITE, THATS ALL I HAVE. lol
I know every one loves Price getting a shut-out, but this is like 11 games he’s only allowed 1 goal. Unreal defense by this team.
What would it take to get Neil in a Hab uni for the playoffs???
So I asked this earlier…when we blew those two PPs did you retire to the foosball game?

probably the most rediculous thing i’ll read all week. what are you talking about?
Nah… PK will do just fine here in Montreal. Remember we have 3 veterans that are UFA and 1 restricted at the end of the season. This situation Montreal is in with three young prospects fighting for a couple of jobs is a good one to have. It will pay dividends in the off season, IF they can all step up and show they are NHL ready.
Because Edmonton is a paragon of recent hockey success?
And: “he’ll be like a kid in a drug-induced stupor”. Really?
I love how, for a certain class of poster, teaching defensive responsibility is equivalent to stifling creativity.
Ridiculous. He was one of our best defencemen in the playoffs last year. He had a couple bad games, and Weber had a couple good games. Subban is going to be in Montreal for a long time to come, and he’s got the potential to be a superstar.
He’s good with the puck, and good off it (if you’ve been paying attention), he makes strong breakout passes (both short and long), he relieves pressure in our end better than all of our defencemen at the moment (save an injured Markov)… believe me, I could go on about the positives to his game.
What kind of deal do you propose would actually net us any kind of return from Edmonton? We’re not in the business of building other teams for them.
I wonder about whether he will ever really fit in Montreal
Gee that sounds vaguely familair… Wait, it will come to me… Something about hearing that last year… about… about… about a goalie? Was it a goalie that people were saying would never fit in in Mtl? It was someone, who was it…? You know, I really can’t remember… BECAUSE WE’RE WINNING.
So subbban sits again. A healthy competition between two defensive prospects, a learning curve , and on and on , maybe Cherry was right the kid is a distraction , one thing is for certain , he is still catching press . I wonder about whether he will ever really fit in Montreal. He is a free spirit , a la Ovetchin , whose skills cannot be subjected to a system , they will wilt and dye, He will take on the persona of a kidi i.n a drug induced stuppor ,easy to handle but lost. A suggestion , mr Gauthier , look to Edmonton for a trade, and set this young throughbread looose in that pasture where he can grow with the likes of Hall and Eberly et al , they need a young defence man and he will have time to grow.
Dude, put the bong down.
Hey NEWFIE_DOG. Tried to respond but looks like the thread got deleted. I was typing a response that simply pointed out the difference between using the b word casually (as in bitch and moan) and using it to insult. My old school, country upbringing comes into play there. Never mind.

Yeah, I think there is more to it than this. JM and OB thing comes to mind here. Like what… other folks don’t swear left and right here? YOu know… the TRUE fans.
Yeah…the comment does not exist. I will say one thing about Crosby. Until lemieux convinces him otherwise he is UFA in 2013. That leaves two years and a few sleeps for Montreal fans to convince him to come home.
I wish I had the -Comment does not exist - button. It sure would make for less belated apologies.
Martin should have called a timeout to rally the troups halfway through that major when nothing was getting done.
Refs turned a blind eye twice to calls that would have been made otherwise if the Habs hadn’t already been on a 5 minute PP. Another example of what’s wrong with the NHL.
If the Sens manage to comfortably set up on the power play, I’ve been told by reliable sources to watch for a triple axel.

“Start the season with a clean equipment bag and a freah bucket of febreze!”-CharlieHodgeFan
good point here, if this is as much an off ice discipline problem or an attemt to head off what happened to some young guys two yrs ago , then good on you Martin, do what is necessary
I don’t know if anyone can imagine what it must be like to in P.K.’s shoes this season. He’s not even 50 games into his career and he’s been the subject of all kinds of disproportionate attention and some controversy. The kid is great human being, a future leader, I think, and it must be really overwhelming for him to feel out his place.
If he were in Atlanta or on the Islanders let’s say, then it’s little to do with nothing. But on in Montreal, because of the city, some, and because they are a veteran laden club, (also because they’re good) he must learn his place. It’s little things, like lining up last, behind others for meals maybe, or not being so anxious to program the tunes in the room, that show respect for others. No one wants to overhaul the kid’s exhuberant personality, just give it a tweak.
Well stated, Robert. It may seem like such trivial matters, the examples you gave, but in truth dressing rooms are very traditional places where all the little things add up to respect for your teammates and for the veterans. There’s a very good chance this type of thing is going on in other rooms around the NHL, but other teams are not Montreal so there is very little media attention being given to them. It’s probably more of a sign of the attitude changes coming into the game as the younger generation takes over.
and understand that he is still just a kid ….handle him with care ……
and understand that he is still just a kid ….handle him with care ……
and understand that he is still just a kid ….handle him with care ……
No one has a clue that this “may be going on” and this is how things get spread in Montreal. I feel bad for him, everyone loved him so much and now he’s the troubled kid we should trade!
Freaking ridiculous!
“Start the season with a clean equipment bag and a freah bucket of febreze!”-CharlieHodgeFan
True, I’d bet this kind of thing happens everywhere, all the time. In Montreal however, where there is a need to understand everything that happens, it gets more coverage than it warrants. Fans need, and the media feeds!
Who’s talking about trades?!

As much as his contract is a burden, we need Gomez on the PP, need somebody to skate the puck in. Because that was just awful

Wait….no Gomez and they struggle to move the puck? Oh lol…
Gomez has been reading HIO and wanted to prove he isn’t useless just because he has no points. That’s why he isn’t playing:)
Pleky will get one and we’ll squeak out a win out of a poor game
If we don’t score here we will lose the game. Bank on it.
OK….Lets just give the game to Ottawa instead of going through the whole”pretend they deserved the penalties” BS

No excuse not to win this game. 9 minutes of PP in the second period.

And yet, somehow I have a feeling that those who want him buried in the minors would be screaming blue bloody murder when our Power Play would inevitably look a lot more like that last 5 minute stinker..
I promised not to get into G discussions for the month. Too many hot tempered exchanges over it for my liking. Let’s see how they adapt to a new PP lineup. They were doing well the last couple of weeks.

or pick it up
If this game showed us anything, it’s that we’re better with Gomez and PK than without them. Especially on the PP.

True enough Timo. If I had it my way that guy would be locked up for a long time.

Bernardo, Olson and Williams would be pushing up daisies too.
I love the fact that Moen was there to rein in Neil at the end. Gotta appreciate the character that’s on this team.
There seems to be little debate that PK will be back in the lineup for our next game.
Here’s the real question now: what to do about Gomez — we scored 3 without him, giving up none.
Price just keeps rolling. He could easily have 8 or 9 shutouts by now. Last year a late goal against would sometimes shake him a bit. But no more. He is unflappable.
Thanks partly to Pat Burns, RIP
Well looks like Gomez could be out so do they call someone up or is JM going to put Webber or Pk up front. Then we still have Boyld also .
Bah. C’mon, Cammy, what’s with all that gently lobbin’ the pucks over the boards crap? Crank ‘em into the cheap seats, baby, just like the kid showed you last Saturday afternoon.

Who will be the first Hab to launch pucks into the crowd using the t-shirt bazooka??? Now that would be cool!!
Eller played well tonight, he has to shoot more often
Missed the first, terrible second, great rebound in the third.
Just looking at the standings … really impressed with the comparative GF and GA of the current top-8 in the East … the Habs have the lowest GF and the second-lowest GA. Boston has second-lowest GF and lowest GA, and they’re sitting 5 points behind us. This is a team playing Martin’s system, with excellent goaltending and relying on some consistent but sparing offense from any of its lines. It’s working so far ….
Pitts 40pts 91GF 67GA
Wash 39 96 79
Habs 36 71 53
Philly 38 95 69
TB 33 84 94
Atla 33 88 80
NYR 33 83 77
Boston 31 72 50
Man, I love that GA stat..
67, 79, 53, 69, 94 (Wow!), 80.

If Gomer’s out then JM will HAVE to play Eller more. Today’s game is his most ice time 14:33 since he joined the Habs.
Bring up Pacioretty!
Love Gill holding on to two ‘turds near the end.
If Gomez is going to miss some time, I think that Eller will fit into that role nicely. He’s really starting to get comfortable now.
i hate to say this, but is it more than just coincidence that the PP sucked after gomez left?
Time to call up DD.
another interesting stat – price has had a SP for a game lower than .900 just 3 times – edmonton, ott, and columbus. that’s it

Eller and Hamrlik are the best players in uniform right now.
Will it be Price against the Wings and Auld against the Laffs?
Detroit will be a dandy
“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
Why? Does Gionta need someone to make him feel tall?
Eller’s the right man to slot into the 2nd line right now with his surge and the Habs have a choice of centers to play on the 4th line, you can bump Halpern back to recreate the PHD line.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
Habs have beaten Ottawa 3 times this season, they only had 3 wins over the Sens total in the 08-09, 09-10 seasons combined.
With 2 games against the Loafs, 4 against OTT, 2 against BUF and one against BOS, Habs have gotten themselves 12 of a possible 18 points in the NE.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
Yeah, at leat Moen will take on anybody.

if/when price shuts them down, it will be interesting to see how JM plays that – we have 3 days off though until next game, but part of a back-t-back set. I would sit price against toronto, I agree. but well see

Watch Auld in 3d Tv on saturday………
I speculate that McQuire’s comment about the Halak-Eller trade being sheer larcency for the Blues was only motivated by his desire to demonstrate that he knows the meaning of the word larcency. It’s already clear. Eller is finding his comfort level and he is even beginning to dominate his shifts. He is one tough cookie to play against. This guy is Guy Lafleur with an edge and that trade was one helluva good deal for the Habs.
He’s big. He’s bald. He’s 3D Auld.
“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
Myself I would play Auld against Detroit and Price against T.O.
BUT..Since I am not paid to be a G.M. or coach, WTF Huh?
I just want Price to get the shutout against the Laffs

Good call SF. Whoever they call up now is going to sit in the pressbox anyways. Give Desharnais and Max a call if things start to turn. Until then play this roster. Or if they want someone then go deeper into Hamilton for the next best callup to give that guy a looksee (wonder who?).

After a meshugana 2nd period, the boys got their shite together and played some hockey. Fitting that they would win by the same score that Gros Bill did as Captain back on this day in 1961. Hopefully PK will be back Fri and Picard can sit.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Boyd put on re-entry waivers and suiting up on the 4th line on Friday (if Gomez is hurt that is)

McGuire never quits when comes to taking shots against Gauither as McGuire has never forgiven PG for firing him when he was a scout for Ottawa……..
So… if Gomer’s hurt and Markov’s hurt, that gives us around $8.7 million in cap space to work with. Maybe we could help the Pens with any potential problems they might have? I think they may have that top-6 forward we’re still looking for!
We’ve played Buffalo three times. 14 of a possible 20 points. Last year I think we got about 22 or 23 of a possible 48.
Otherworldly so far.

I would agree that I think P.K. is the guy you would want playing on Friday night.I think after his ” rest ” he would come out and make the wings players think each time as they go for the puck.Not like he is huge or anything but he has lots of hustle and tends to throw everything into a check.

Haha, cute. But isn’t Crosby only 5’10 or something like that? Doesn’t really fall into that category of big center that everyone seemed to think we needed a few years ago. Plus, don’t you think his whining and stick breaking might ruin the chemistry in the room?
Hey we’re open to reason, Desharnais and a 2nd for Malkin.

Where do you have us losing 6 divisional points? Haven’t we only lost once to Toronto and once to Ottawa? Way I count it we have 16/20 points.
Yeah well they don’t hand out trophies for what ifs or coulda, shoulda, wouldas. It is what it is. Price’s play has been stellar and so has Thomas’. Habs and Bruins are neck and neck for being the stingiest teams in the league. No excuses!
He doesnt have to go through re-entry waivers since he was never assigned to the AHL.
I can’t effin’ believe how bad my math is today, really, hanging my head in shame on this one.

Moen – Eller – Cammi
Darche – Halpern – Pouliot
Pyatt -Laps – Weber

Hamr – Spacek
Gill – Gorges
Suban – Picard

For you Dawg….”We’ve said all year that our goalie’s given us a chance to win every game,” Halpern said. “When we’ve had a couple of lulls in our season, he’s come out with unbelievable performances.
“He covers up a lot of mistakes that we make as a team, but he also gives us confidence to feel good about the way we’re playing and to get on things.”
I agree that McQuire’s comment was ridiculous, but it might be a touch soon to compare Eller to #10.
hahahah that’s a good one
Seems reasonable to me!
Are you with Bell? I remember hearing a few posters on here mention this and they all had Bell.
Agreed 100%. The orange and blue is THE Oilers uniform, those uni-colour things are practice jerseys.

I like your line-up except I would have Pouliot with Eller and Cammy, move Moen to the 4th and Weber to the 3rd. Cammy has to play with a guy with hands, not Moen. did you see that pass he laid on Moen’s tape tonight? A thing of beauty and not even a SoG. I love his toughness but Moen can’t play on the 2nd line. I really think that Eller, cammy and Pouliot could be magic
No movement clauses don’t prevent buyouts! Ha!

We’ve been winning without P.K. — we’ll see about Gomerlessness. He was big on our goal tonight, & it looks pathetic at this point.
Weeeelll, look at Pleks, I mean he’s so uncreative. And that Hossa guy in Chicago… so boring. Or whada ’bout Datsyuk, no creativity I tell ya?

Teams that play disciplined hockey win Cups. You want run-n-gun, watch the Capitals. They play the “Ovechkin System” and in a million years that system will not win another Cup.
Don’t you think that having The Great One, Messier, and an All-Star D had something to do with those Edmonton Cups? Can you not see that the CH of 2010-11 doesn’t have a giant Hall of Fame wrecking crew in the lineup?
The “class of poster” thing is a myth – there’s people who watch and understand modern hockey and there’s everyone else. This site demonstrates it daily.
I dont need to prentend to be as old as I am , Its a fact , Yes and I remember how the great one and messier ended our run for five ,I watched the habs win more cups then you might remember,and I am familiar with disciplined teams winnning cups .Your bravado betrays your inexperience , go change your diaper it stinks ……….
Can’t compare the two times because the game has changed drastically over the past two decades. The science of sport is honing skills better than before. We’ve learned from Roger Neilson, and have turned teaching from game tapes into an art. Young players are taking the spotlight away from veterans on a more consistent basis.
Positionally you can tell the difference: in net there’s no such thing as a ‘standup style’ anymore; defenders don’t have the time to set up an end to end rush; the neutral zone is more like a war zone.
Experience with the Canadiens in the 70s doesn’t mean a whole lot in today’s game. It’s faster, more physical, better coached, and rules are actually enforced (holding/hooking/interference). Looking to the glory days is an exercise in nostalgia, and doesn’t give us any insight into how to build a hockey team in today’s environment.
gretsky?
OK, now I am really gonna take you seriously. ugh
Moving along, I disagree that style and speed = high risk. Like twocents says below, all you need to do is look at Pleks or Hossa (+140 on his career!)- or even the dreaded Daniel F., one of the better two way guys in the game, to see that players can be creative and defensively responsible as well.
PK can be creative all he wants. But he also has to stop turning over the puck, and telegraphing his point shot so far in advance that JoJo predicted it back in the late 1980s. I don’t think that is too much to ask.
the more he sits in the press box the better he gets ?
we ignore history at our peril……..ah the sheer arrogance of youth……….
Not ignore, the Canadiens are the most storied team in the league for a reason. But to look to the past to build a team in today’s NHL is rather silly.
I just watched Cherry and his ‘performance’ at Toronto city council. It was the lowest of all lows. He was a complete self-centred jackass. Having Cherry there was a major lapse in judgement by the Ford brothers.
I think my wife summed it up best when she said that Canadians won’t be able to make fun of Sarah Palin anymore.
I meant to stir the pot , one game yes two maybe but give me a break three, games , or until we lose again , then Webber sits, win or else , gun to your head diplomacy win your in lose your out , with rookies no less …..
you’re focusing on all the negatives. weber has played his best two games ever with the habs. subban made mistakes and had too much pressure on him…so hes getting a break. this will help him keep his cocky-ness to an effective level and give him a small wakeup call. maybe jm is trying to showcase the rest of the D for a potential trade or something. or maybe he just feels that pk is the odd man out of a pretty solid d core we’ve been running for the past couple games.
PK will be with this team for a very long time and will get back in the game soon. for the first time since he joined the team, i think gorges needs a little break….he looks wounded out there…as anyone would playing with the speedy gill
I really think one game was enough , progressive discipline , Subban on balance thus far has been a positive , and sitting him this long has just focused more attention on him where it is not needed ..
Literary PS: M. Pednault writes “face aux vétérans. Le jeune à la réplique facile.” If that consistent use of ‘face’ is deliberate, the French sportwriters have an admirable prose quality.
Khe… MAB is looking good. Ready to go, baby!
Ferraro never shuts up, and in the end he says nothing of substance.
True, but I think he’d meet his match with Stubbs’ Kovalev Target practice video on the main page.

Now can we have PK back to carry the puck into the offensive zone on the PP, especially if Gomez is out?
Apparently Gomez being injured is good for the team.
That’s what some of the comments about him would have you believe. I’m suddenly worried we may find out, in a hurry, that he wasn’t quite so worthless.
Where’s SD? Shouldn’t he be organizing a parade of some kind that his fondest wish came true?
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
Am I the only one thinking, “What would P.K. look like as a forward?”
Can anyone come up with a good reason not to use him as a forward? He’s fast, he’s tough, he can dangle, he’s got a good shot, we don’t need him on D for the time being, and we’re icing a forward corps that includes Tom Pyatt. Our goals-for right now is pretty pitiable. If you can use Weber as a forward, why the hell can you not use P.K. as one?
They used O’Byrne as a forward last year..lol
Come on folks. You gotta find the humour in this. I mean, the PP sucked for so long yet we continued to win, then the PP started to come together, then we lose Markov and the PP holds its own, then PK is out and still it’s holding on…and now this. Adversity. As Churchill said, “If you’re going to go through hell, keep going”.
Reverse psychology worked for Price…Trade PK now while his value is high. DO IT PG!!
Pascal Leclaire.. a homeboy.. great, they always do well against us.
And, if there’s a player looking for his first NHL goal, he will get it tonight.
The players who PK upset, like Richards, will be using these scratches as ammo to get at PK.
Oh Pierre McGuire…he just can’t bring himself to say that Gomez is valuable – first he blames the poor 5 min PP on a lack of Markov (ignoring that the recent hot streak started after Markov got injured), then he blames the poor 4 min PP on a lack of Subban (ignoring how the hot streak has continued in Subban’s absence).
It’s not rocket science McGuire…Gomez is a key member of our power play, even if he isn’t scoring, he’s vital.
of course it is rediculous, thats my point , benching him three games or until they lose or webber loses is rediculous , one game yes, two maybe, , but three is wrong ,
What happened to Gomez??????????

Gomez. You can’t live with him. You can’t live without him.

I wonder if Kirk can suit up for the 3rd.
Not a good sign that Tinordi didn’t make the US Team, let’s he’s not another David Fischer type flop
Meh, aslong as he can develop into a good shutdown D i’ll be happy. He’s got the size, he looked decent in the pre season. i didn’t expect him to put up points, or make the US team.
The US Team can afford to be a lot more particular with the teams they compose now and Tinordi is just 18, he could make the squad as a 19-year old. Leblanc not making Team Canada in his draft year wasn’t a disaster.

Jeez, the score is 1-1……CHILL out.
It won’t be if the Habs continue to play like this.
Goalies in Montreal have two roles, netminder and scapegoat.
Time for some intermission adjustments, methinks. This game is still quite winnable, though lack of Gomez will hurt. It throws the Habs’ matchup game severly out of whack.
exactly my point , you got it you got it……………..
exactly my point , you got it you got it……………..
Enough is enough. Can we please bring back PK now? Without him and Gomez, we can not get into their zone without dumping it in.
I missed the first period but the team looks out of sync. Passing is not crisp.
Please, let’s not go there again.

Good luck with that one!
If I may offer a theory, to prevent confusion between 1 and I on the tickets?
Gomez! Just keep doing what your doing me son,
the team is winning and the points are still going in the standings
column. Never mind these people that think you have to score goals to
be a winner. we know that what you do for this club is second to none,
and Martin will use you where ever, and you are able to adjust your
game accordingly.
By the way do these so called Hab Fans even
know that Alfredson and Spezza have not registered a single point in
the past 8 games. Do you think that Ottawa is ready to dump them,
ridiculous!!
We are a winning team this year boys and girls, if
you are not happy with them and want to keep finding fault, then maybe
you would like to remain behind with the losers.!
Try to enjoy
the positive strides that we have made over the past 5 or 6 years, it
will lower your blood pressure, might even make you lovers again. There
is so much to enjoy about our club, don’t dwell on the BS.
Have fun tonight.
It was the Rockets number Chuck! After the riot, it was never used again.
Just caught the tail end of Nick Kypreos talking about P.K. Subban.
Gave his take on the PK benching, but I thoroughly agree as to why he feels it has gone to three games. “It’s about winning.”

Ian, I love ya and your insight is usually spot on. But I have to disagree with ya on Gomer (who I like but am disappointed with)
I think the fact that Jacques Martin himself called him out a week or so ago proves that he actually isn’t doing his job.
Also, how many times has he had a shot on net and passed it to a player covered by two defenseman?
The fact of the matter, recently at least, we see this pattern:
Gio and Poulit with Gomez- playing horribly, not scoring. We take Pouliot away from him, he starts scoring. We take Gionta away and he starts producing. We put AK with Gomez and he disappears. Put him back with Pleks and he’s back.
Now Cammy is with Gomez and the only scoring he’s done is on the PP or, last game, when they took him away from Gomez!
Link for us usa folk please?
But apart from the appalling lack of offence, can it really be said that Gomez has been one of the hardest-working Habs? Or one of the defensive standouts?
On the bright side, Andrei Kostitsyn has been great thus far and isn’t getting enough credit.

We may or may not beat the Sens. Remember the Habs always play down to the weaker team’s level.This usually results in a loss.
I think this PK thing is terrible and that it shouldn’t be happening. If I were PK I’d be saying to my agent…get me the hell outta here I wanna play for a team that will let me shine.
And if anybody here thinks Weber is or ever will be as good as or better than PK you’d be wrongo boyo.
I don’t know what PK’s contract salary is…I guess entry level at about 800,000 ? No matter with his endorsement deals he soon won’t be worried about money so much ( ’cause he’ll have plenty ) and he therefore won’t be afraid of asking for a trade.
I think a rift has been created and that it will not heal. I guarantee you for PK we could get the forward and the D man we covet.
Some of you thought that the Habs are show casing Weber. Nope their icing PK and talking deals.
Say it ain’t so.

Man you guys are hilarious….seriously the worst fans in the nhl…go to pensionplanpuppets.com and read the comments…they cheer for the worst team in the league but they actually CHEER for the team…EVERY game win or lose…not constantly bitching like pre-pubescent girls

1 – 5 minute power play . .any shots on goal???
2 missed penalties . . .
Let’s hope a meteor hits close by so they can call this . . .

Since I’m not watching the game and relying on the comments and Boone to provide me with an action replay…
What’s wrong with Gomez and how bad?
“So why call her bad? From her, Kings are born”
If Gomez is out for the next game, what should we do — play Boyd… call up Pacioretty… or Maxwell… or Descharnais?
Here’s what we do:
AK46-PleksGio
Pouliot-Eller-Cammy
Pacioretty-Halpern-Darche
Pyatt-Lapierre-Moen
What the hell’s with Gomez …. did he quit on us……???
Why Why!! do we continue to bang the puck at the net? yes shoot any time you can, but come on, make a play in front and beat the tender that way. But to continue to just bang the puck, well, forget it.
Now that that little rant is over, 3rd period belongs to the hungry!!!
Theses two points are not important to staying ahead of the Sen’s, it is very important in staying the 2nd best team , BY POINTS, in the league.
This game kind or reminds me of last season. Dominate the 1st period and get nowhere, then get dominated in the second.
i did catch that! nice apology panger
ottawa is playing plecks the same way the flyers play him..real tough and plecks has trouble when this happens…today the pp is poorly managed…darche is not a pp player same with halpern…we are missing players on the pp who have quick hands…some of these players when pressured cough up the puck as they dont have the skill to make a play. we have had pp success lately but many of our goals have not come from structured plays and when those goals stop coming we will be in pp slump again..ak46 played well in the first but he was terrible in the second
Hopefully! I am, lol
ill give desharnais a shot..imo i think we should keep patches in the A until neard the end of theseason, like what we did with PK
.::DON’T MESS WITH THE MOENATOR!::.

All of a sudden the whole team letting off the gas is because Gomez isn’t playing? Because this has never happened with him in the lineup? Wake up folks, that’s ridiculous.
The real reason the PP is struggling is because Hamrlik has had a fantastic stretch of games anchoring it and he’s having an off night, end of story.

Habs’ centers are scrambling and the forwards aren’t sure how to set up, Camms looks like hes trying to do it on his own, though they all seem to be backchecking. High shot count from bad angles even though Price made a few good saves. Let’s hope they can adjust for the third.
They have no idea what to do because run and gun is not working . .
Bullet holes in my mirrors . . . .
TSN can’t figure it out – he played a shift in the 2nd and left the ice in no obvious discomfort…but never came back.
It’s not like he was hit or anything.
hahahahah did anyone see the TSN promo for tomorrow’s Leafs-Penguins? Something about whether the Penguins can withstand the “barrage from the Leafs’ snipers” with like three clips in a row of Kessel. Man they pimp that team so hard it’s got bruises
I saw a lot of fumbling the puck. But it’s not like Gomez is the only guy who can gain the zone. It’s a ridiculous notion. Is him being off the PP a detriment? Absolutely, but is it as big of a detriment as losing Markov and Subban cumulatively? No. There’s the bigger problem. Picard for example, was horrificly bad on PP in the second period.
Durin’ the 5-minute major, the Habs did not carry the puck into the zone even once, Andrew. The Sens played an aggressive D-game and shut down the dump & chase. Consistently.
Had very little to do with Hammer cuz the Habs never really managed to set up. The D-men never had time to penetrate behind the play.
See, that is a very keen insight, of the type that had me thinking–after your exchange with $0.2 yesterday– that the all-around unworthiness (and, I believe, plain unpopularity) of Jack Todd having been established, have you ever thought of angling yourself forward as a replacement for him on The Gazette?
You like writing; you are recognised for your Habs acumen; you are strongly opinionated (not pejoratively meant) but fair-minded; you love the Habs but aren’t a homer. Would be a win for everyone (even morally salutory for Mr. Todd) I should say.

Easy there, Andrew.
There are three guys who do it consistently: Gomer, Markov, and PK. The latter is sittin’, the former is injured.
Gomer’s the only one playin’ tonight. With Gomer out, the PP setup thus becomes elusive and the D-men have no time to follow the play into the o-zone. Has nothin’ to do with Hammer’s play.
See I saw them gain the zone several times and the puck went out right away from the defense failing to hold it in at the point.
I’m with you on that Ian !!! Shipped a container load of xmas trees to the ROCK !… life is good my man
A dump and chase battle does not constitute puck possession because the D has to hedge its positionin’.
The Wings play more of a run and gun style of game I think, the kind we’re good at.

Martin is an oppressor.
Subban in the press box for 3 straight? Okay, I understood the benching in light of the Oilers gaffe and wanting Subban to learn a lesson about his spot not being guaranteed but this is going a bit far for me now. Senators have a sleepy offence and this might be more of an offensive battle than we’d like.

“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
From Dany Dube of CKAC….
http://www.ckac.com/audioplayer.php?mp3=86545
Subban is not being sat out for on ice mistakes, there are matters of conduct and discipline within the team that is being addressed in his case.
There’s no big shocker here, nor a particular incident Dube points at. Just a rookie who may not understand that in certain team situations he must not act like he’s a vet. His play on the ice does not dictate his standing in the room.
Very interesting view, if one can read between the lines…
The PK talk starts about 2:50 in on the progress bar.
he is just too dammmed upppity for his own good……..Cherry was right I guesss……..I am getting old
Too bad the audio clip is in french. I understood none of it. However, from what you are saying I certainly do get the Reader’s Digest idea of it.
Interesting, to say the least, but no big deal or shocker as you say. Perhaps a case of a rookie getting just a little too much media attention, and having it go to his head a bit. I know Josh Gorges took PK out to dinner the other night (as per interview on TSN), and this could be a move by one of the more level-headed and respected players on the team taking Subban aside and explaining a few things to him. None of this is having an extreme, dire, effect on the team. The team is playing well with or without PK in the lineup, as they are with or without Markov in the lineup. Funny how some Habs fans don’t seem to grasp that, eh! Sure, one could make a case that the Habs are better with PK in the lineup, but not overwhelmingly better I would say. I like that JM is paying attention to these things and addressing it in a direct way. I feel there was a divide in the room a few years ago, and this has to be prevented from occurring again. PK is a rookie. He should be treated as such. That is only fair to the rest of the team, each of whom had paid his dues in the same way not so long ago. Respect is not given, it is earned. It doesn’t matter if it is on the ice, or in the room.
But the best part about McSplooge is that when the Habs are winning he first goes into denial (the other team has them on the ropes) and then he gets depressed. His voice goes really soft and monotone. It is like he is really hurt – emotionally.
As one of old my schoolmates from London Ontario, who was a Habs fan, used to say; they play better in French.

I can’t wait until a couple years from now when Eller is a 65 point player and Maguire talks about how he called it from day one that the Habs got equal value for Halak. Can. Not. Wait.
You sir have offended Pylons everywhere. They’re much harder to navigate!

The HAbs did get equal value for Halak. They were able to sign Pleks, keep Price, AND get Eller. All of those things were possible, by letting Halak go.

He probably called the Nieuwendyk-for-Iginla deal “sheer larceny” too…..you gotta give the kid a bit of time
Why is Moen still with cammi?
No tripping?
I was going to call trip on darche but i think the diving sens dman caught the puck first.
GIO!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta love the Captain.
BEAUTY of a shot. Love it.
Gioooooooooooooooooooo!
Dallas got a Cup from the Niuwendyk deal at the end of the day, Dallas got a ton of ground and inroads as a franchise with that win. Calgary might have a Cup themselves with Iginla, if they had built a team around him.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
Calgary should have won the cup in game 6 against the bolts.
“What’s this instant replay nonsense about?”
Way more questionable call than ‘No Goal’ in ’99 ever was.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
To be honest,I work within stone throwing distance of Scotiabank Place and I make a point of running over some pylons on my way out of work on Sens home game nights . . .. .
Bullet holes in my mirrors . . . .
CAMMI!!!!! Let the floodgates open!
Goalies in Montreal have two roles, netminder and scapegoat.
Hello Cammalleri, hello lethal PP. Nice to have ya’s back.

Great footie play by Darche!
Darche just never gives up on a play. Love that guy.
Wow, Pleki!
Goalies in Montreal have two roles, netminder and scapegoat.
Hey Gomophobes: Scott Gomez gets dirty in front of the net and a speculative pass-shot by Cammi goes in.
Earning his salary, one elite-veteran play at a time…
He’s been better lately, but let’s be honest for a second, he sent a tape to tape pass to Alfredsson, who messed up and gave it to Cammalleri. That wasn’t an elite-veteran play.
Fairly certain Red runs interference for Boone.
well, if Gomez is out and no callups, looks like we’ll be seeing Boyd….anyone remember him?
Habs made good on ottawa’s turnovers…Habs playing good……..
Who called 4 – 1 ?
C’mon psychics . .. .
Bullet holes in my mirrors . . . .
The worst part about the game being on TSN is that if the Habs lose, we have to hear Pierre McGeel rant about how the Habs are not for real and that people are just over reacting and that the Habs will start to lose somewhere. Geez! And anyone else notice how this season, most of the time, Pierre is always with Chris Cuthbert and Ray Ferraro is with Gord Miller? Coincidence?
“It must be love!”
I can’t stand that nerd McGuire. I dislike him so much that I actually watch the game on RDS over TSN. The kicker is I don’t understand French!
Boyd who?
Actually he rated us the #1 canadian team, and not just on points. I was impressed.
I’ll take Pierre Maguire over Ray Ferraro any day of the week.
Gord Miller is one of the best in the business. I just love this guy.
Cammy is flying tonight!
Ian!
Gomez is trying to shut me up
NEWS FLASH: Sens suck! Now back to my physical chemistry!
“It must be love!”

What kinda Habs fan are you? Studying when you should be watching the game……
Just kidding of course.
Goalies in Montreal have two roles, netminder and scapegoat.
Ottawa is getting absolutely dominated in all 3 zones and all Maguire can talk about is how great the Sens structure is? Watch the game Pierre!
The DEP-endable line is freakin awesome. They don’t wanna be anybody’s third line and they play like it.
Picard’s looking good today too. Doesn’t let up.
–
Thank You Saku. Thank you Halak. Thank you to all who wear the CH.
Gomez in the dressing room, maybe some of you got your wish.
Goalies in Montreal have two roles, netminder and scapegoat.
Extremely weak call on Gorges.
Pathetic call on Gorges.
andrew, it’s pierre – he says things like “alex ovechkin and sidney crosby don’t like each other” and “jonathan toews is an excellent leader”

Josh sit down. PK get up
“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
Damn, PK usually fairs better than that…
______________________________________ Long live Captain Gionta.
Ouch. After such a good period.
Reverse psychology worked for Price…Trade PK now while his value is high. DO IT PG!!
That has to be stopped.
F!!!!!!!
Don’t like Alfredsson’s poor sportsmanship there. The puck was in, you saw it Daniel, don’t shoot it in again like a junior B player.
are they serious?

Gorges just got unlucky on that play. Lost a step, stick caught in the wrong place.
Honestly? They’re sort of due for dominating a game and losing it. *shrug*
Went in off a Spacek body part. Stick or skate or something.
“It must be love!”
something tells me CP isnt on his game onight.. but hey even the greats have a stinker once in a while, might as well get over with it
.::DON’T MESS WITH THE MOENATOR!::.
Dominating period and we come up even, crap-o-la.
______________________________________ Long live Captain Gionta.
considering that was a perfect goal…I ain’t worried. hes proven everybody wrong – that goal was just a bad breakdown at a bad time.

- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
it is not easy to get a top 6 forward…if we are unable to get a top 6 we need to upgrade players like pyatt,lapps and moen with forwards that are also gritty but can score goals…
Yikes.
Darren Pang,
when suggesting Subban follow Pietrangelo’s example as a young defenseman says, “(Pietrangelo) does
everything the white way (oops) – the right way.” Innocent mistake, but kind of funny.
“Alex Pietrangelo does everything on and off the ice the white…right way “
something along those lines…awkward….LOL
Hey 5 Cent, Punky & Ayan…serioulsy I ain’t no troll… but thanks for the accolades.
I am of the opinion that PK is a franchise player and that the Habs ain’t looking for that.
anybody else catch that on TSN. “the white way… the right way”. ouch.
He should show more respect or risk being spanked on the bum like P.K
Whatever. Six shots. One goal. Read the stats.
guess I’m slow on the draw.
caught that too…hilarious
Oh no! I guess that means Price will be letting in a goal every six shots from now on.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
hahaha, yeah. But Panger’s so innocent it’s just funny.
yes, read the stats – 16-7-2, 1.96, .935. now what?

Agreed the Habs totally don’t want a franchise player…wait what? The habs recognize PK as a fantastic player, but he needs to learn, and he will! Not a big deal, the sky wont fall because Subban sat for a few games.

ok 25 gpi 1st in nhl, 16 w 1st in nhl, .935 sv pct 3rd in nhl, 1.96 gaa 5th in nhl, 4 so 2nd in nhl….yeah those are some stats for ya….please stop wasting space on this site with your negative and completely moronic posts.
Tough for a keeper to stay sharp when he’s not seeing much rubber but I don’t blame that one on him anyway
You clearly haven’t been here that long. The site douche’s like exit would only blame a goal like that on a defenceman when it was halak in net. That same guy that has seen more pulls this season then an unlicensed massage clinic.
I think I know more than most about hockey and believe my opinions are almost always reasonable and thought out.-manapart.
Thank you, you speak for many.
yeah, sure
what do you mean?
Hey, stop trying to confuse the issue with facts ;–)
Gomez going to the net on every shift lately is enough for me to stop talking about him. He’s been good.
BRIAN GIONTA WITH A CAPTAINS GOAL………….
There may be other teams, but only ONE Club De Hockey…
That’s why he wears the C. Great shift.
Reverse psychology worked for Price…Trade PK now while his value is high. DO IT PG!!
Nicely said. 4 goals in 5 games. Gotta look up to that leadership.
GIOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOO!
GIO!

You needed that on the anniversary of Beliveau’s captaincy!
Captain Gigantic!
“Hey Richard, two minutes for looking so good!”
Who needs assists?
There may be other teams, but only ONE Club De Hockey…
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Gio’s got one Hell of a shot!
I like that he didn’t wind up for his slap shot on the rush like he usually does, just a quick-release wrister…noyce.
Tough slip for Panger .. “PK needs to start doing stuff the white way … er right way”
I wouldn’t be too upset if we lost this in OT (giving the extra point to a non-contender) in order to justify bringing back P.K. for the nasty bruisin’ back-to-back we have coming up. We need Subban’s nasty for those games and he’s going to come out of the gates like a bat out of hell. I wouldn’t want to be the first guy he hip checks in his first game back.
Go Habs go!
That could be a costly slip of the tongue for Panger.
I doubt it
nah
___________________________________________
Note the new digs! but yeah I’m still on Twitter!
don’t know if anyone else noticed this, but my gf pointed out a pretty ridiculous freudian slip on the part of darren pang on TSN… comparing Subban to Pietrangelo he said piet does things “the white-the right way” any one else catch it?
damn you guys are fast… at least we weren’t the only ones who noticed
Cherry is probably sitting at home wondering, “How come they won’t let ME say that?”

Note the new digs! but yeah I’m still on Twitter!
It’s not like Subban was asian and Panger told him to quit playing the wong way in some kind of mocking tone.
“Right Way” is a bit of a tongue twister, if you try saying it fast. It was totally innocent, but I’m sure he still feels like a heel.
Remember last season when Spacek and Hamrlik got burnt out from playing so many minutes? Yeah well, they’re a year older and still putting up huge minutes.
but he benched the best d-man on the team. kept an un-needed d-man on the roster instead of sent to hamilton – er i mean as the media tells you gullible – “a learning process” and the masses swallow this garbage.
3 days between games – martin does not know how to get them ready AGAIN! easy to play the next day but give them 3 days off martin doesnt have a clue. tonight 5th such time 3 or more days going into game will be 1-4 after tonight!
Nice to see you back to your JM bashing Tony. When do you start up on Gauthier again?
Reverse psychology worked for Price…Trade PK now while his value is high. DO IT PG!!
try posting something intelligent
Habs just need to keep playin’ their game through the 2nd. Sens are playin’ perimeter hockey.
McGuire is ridiculous and Dreger should quit tryin’ to smile when Duthie is askin’ the question. His “smile” is more forced than Benoit’s.
Some of you guys suck. The channel I posted has been turned off. I have been using it for weeks…
Please don’t post links to games here again. If you don’t have a link, google it…
well, it’s all over twitter now… oh boy.
They will review that one.
I don’t understand why the Habs always have so much trouble with Foligno, he’s a terrible hockey player.
that’s good
Sorry Elliot, no break in period of you.
