I am so happy to contribute some of my taxable earnings to the CBC. Perhaps in the future I could also contribute some money to the study of Gargantuism in Mice.
Yeah, and the other Canadian networks are shining lights. They’re great if you can’t get the shows they broadcast on the American channels where they originated
HNIC drives me crazy, but unfortunately, we taxpayers have no say in this. HNIC is financed by private advertisers, and takes no funding from taxpayers. CBC actually makes money from HNIC, not the other way around. I don’t know if that will make you feel better, because you’re not paying its bills, or worse, because it means HNIC is not accountable to you.
All of the Decision Makers, Upper Mgmt who run HNIC draw salaries from the CBC.
Sorry it may make some money for the network, but it takes money to make it. And the money they have to start with comes from me. The fact they refuse to provide equal representation for various Canadian teams makes me sick. I see your point, but they owe it to Canadians to do a better job.
I was under the impression that HNIC’s budget is entirely provided by private advertisers and that it is not tax-funded at all. Perhaps I am incorrect. Regardless, I agree that its editorial stances are unbecoming of a Crown Corporation.
I dunno, people say that stuff, but … Price is a 25 year-old millionaire, single guy, living in a fun city full of beautiful women who think he’s God … I honestly believe he’s lovin’ life in MTL.
He just might want the professional accolades to accompany all that. Vezina, Conn Smythe, Stanley Cup, etc. It must suck to see lesser goalies on top of him in the standings.
I don’t see him as a take-the-money-and-run kind of guy.

Genius CBC announcers saying Ottawa is doing everything right. Yet Ottawa goes 0 for 9 on the PP, and are tied cause of a shorthanded goal… Yup, clearly they are very pleased with their game….
The Habs have to retool and get 4 capable lines to compete with the elite of the league and two more stud D or PK an Gorges will burnout before they reach late 20s.
Nothing like winning and your team is fighting for a top spot in the standings. But I’ll tell you what, I’m enjoying the game when I cheer when we score and don’t instantly get angry when they score. Its a win win…. Only problem is waiting for October again.
No, the Habs aren’t tanking. It’s called honour and professionalism. And all you so called fans who wished for it are nothing more than shameless hacks. Disgusting.
“Is the little dog going to yap, or is he going to bite?”
Look bud, I am not trying to be rude, but this team really isn’t competitive. I want the boys to win as much as you, I am a die hard fan. I want them to go deep in the playoffs or at least compete every second like they did in the playoffs last year. Till Game 7 overtime, they didn’t give up. The only true top 6 forwards I see on this team are DD-Cole and Pacioretty. And yeah Plekanec. Rest can barely put up 40 points. That’s a big problem in today’s NHL. Are we really going to attract a UFA in this position we are in? No, but do we have a chance of pursuing a franchise forward with a draft pick? YES – THEN WHY BLOW IT.
Not sure if you are referring to my post, but I’m glad they are NOT tanking. I’m glad they have pride and professionalism. I’m disgusted at the fans who want them to tank, they’re the problem.
“Is the little dog going to yap, or is he going to bite?”
I know bud, but this would be a shot at a franchise forward that we all we have been dreaming of. You don’t get guys like Staal, Crosby, Toews in later rounds. Yes there are players like Giroux, Getzlaf, but how frequently does that occur?
I like RC’s style. A lesser coach would have sat campoli for the rest of the game. RC goes right back with campoli on the next shift. Telling PG “hey, this is the team you’re giving me, I’ll play them.”
Cmon Ottawa, score already.
I can’t believe I actually thought Ottawa would help us tank. Friggin’ 0/8 on the PP.. no dedication at all, they deserve to get raped in the playoffs.
Look I know a lot of people hate it when I post comments like these but as a fan I’d rather have the 3rd overall pick than have extra garbage points that don’t mean shi* going into next season.
Which is fine, just after you make a bunch of bad calls it starts to get ridiculous. He’s like a Pee Wee ref or something! Actually, that may be insulting to Pee Wee refs and I don’t wish to be that.
They review them. But it is a joke. It is another reason why the NHL is a bush league though. To go along with the “good ol’ boys” who run the league. The league is a joke compared to other top level sports leagues. The refereeing is beyond a joke but I dont evn blame them. This sport has been around for well over 100 years and there aren’t even clear rules or penalties.
The worst thing is that they are less clearly defined than ever before. And we have 2 referees and two linesmen, It’s so haphazard now. How many times do we hear GMs and coaches and players complaining, never mind fans. Hockey is a very simple game. By “clamping down” and adding more eyes on the rink they have actually made things much more complicated. It is such a mess now, the officiating needs a complete overhaul It doesnt help when even Shanahan, the top of the discip[inary chain, is saying the other day “uh well I’m not really sure what goalie interference is either but they (the governors) told me to keep calling it like I’m calling it.” This league is governed by neanderthals with money.
Hockey Inside/Out encourages lively debate, but there is a zero-tolerance policy regarding racism, profanity and behaviour that we deem to be offensive.
We will, without warning, ban those who do not abide by this simple rule, so as to maximize the enjoyment of readers and participants of both sexes and all ages.

Man, the only time our defense has a bit of an edge is when it’s PK and Gorges out there. Otherwise it’s ping pong hockey in our zone!

It hurts me as a Hab fan to admit, but 13 shots on the opponent can’t win you games.

The problem with Chris Lee is not so much the penalties he calls as the ones he doesn’t call. He is totally inconsistent.
Chris Lee is so bad that it seems nearly each team and fan-base in the league is convinced he hates them. That is a remarkable feat.
Yes Healey, poor Ottawa has no luck tonight. They only had 9 PP’s

What a sloppy game. Winning a few games is fine even if you don’t need wins. Winning playing this way is the worst for the fans!

It’s early in his career, but Leblanc has shown little to indicate that he will be something more than a bottom 6 player
You noticed that in all 4 minutes of his play tonight?
All 23 total minutes he’s played this season.
A new coach might help.
A whistle with no associated penalty!
Anybody got an internet feed that works?
I would love to see the OT and shoot out.

The Habs are drunk. These guys had to be drining all the way to Ottawa on that bus. This is to cool the Habs are loaded and still tied lol.
How much could they drink in a hour?
Our roster is so horrible. Half the guys on the ice tonight are barely regarded as NHL players.
WHAT? If that is the case why would all these HIO posters want them to tank.One young player from the draft won’t help.

This theme of being outshot is a problem with the inability to get the cycle and win battles in the opponents end and is frustrating to watch.
Healy is a tool
Nothing like winning and your team is fighting for a top spot in the standings. But I’ll tell you what, I’m enjoying the game when I cheer when we score and don’t instantly get angry when they score. Its a win win…. Only problem is waiting for October again.
The CBC tools could not wait for Ottawa to tie it up. Hey their funding comes from there right. Now they can’t wait for the Sens to take the lead!
Thank Bettman for screwing up the game and rules so that we don’t know up from down at any given moment…
I hate how RC never argues with the refs. After the calls tonight, a coach should be going nuts on them.
RC is as quiet as JM was.

No, the Habs aren’t tanking. It’s called honour and professionalism. And all you so called fans who wished for it are nothing more than shameless hacks. Disgusting.
“Is the little dog going to yap, or is he going to bite?”
Shameless hacks? Geez, wishing that our team gets a bright young superstar is a shameless thing to do? LOL ..right
Honour and professionalism? Really? We’re getting outshot 29-11 for god sakes
Typical moron talk. That’s why you aren’t in the NHL. They would boot your bum out the door of the Montreal dressing room.
“Is the little dog going to yap, or is he going to bite?”
Yet Scott Gomez remains.
I’m sure his “backchecking” at 5 kmph is highly regarded.
Also, the fact you can’t distinguish the mind of a player on the ice from a GM is pretty comical.
And you are in the NHL?
Look bud, I am not trying to be rude, but this team really isn’t competitive. I want the boys to win as much as you, I am a die hard fan.

That’s because you don’t understand pride and honour. You’re the problem, not the players.
“Is the little dog going to yap, or is he going to bite?”
Why don’t you explain all the shotsblocked by Montreal players, explain what honour that is lacking.
Hello, like I said “They are not tanking”, they have pride and honour. Which I like. Not sure what you read here.
“Is the little dog going to yap, or is he going to bite?”
Not sure if you are referring to my post, but I’m glad they are NOT tanking. I’m glad they have pride and professionalism. I’m disgusted at the fans who want them to tank, they’re the problem.
“Is the little dog going to yap, or is he going to bite?”
Really,what a jerk P.J.Stock is. He is as bad as Benoit Brunet.

That was scary. Thankfully Price is OK.
We need a loss more than a win
*string of losses
It will accomplish what exactly?
Remember Subban, MaxP, Markov and other top talents were drafted in the later rounds.
I know bud, but this would be a shot at a franchise forward that we all we have been dreaming of. You don’t get guys like Staal, Crosby, Toews in later rounds. Yes there are players like Giroux, Getzlaf, but how frequently does that occur?
If only there was a Toews or Malkin available this year, I’d agree.
You could end up with a Benny Pouliot. You have about the same odds as Russian Roulette this season. Wrong year to tank.
I like RC’s style. A lesser coach would have sat campoli for the rest of the game. RC goes right back with campoli on the next shift. Telling PG “hey, this is the team you’re giving me, I’ll play them.”
