I love PK as much as anyone else, but there’s not a chance he gets Calder consideration unless he really lights it up in the next 35 games. Jeff Skinner/Logan Couture pretty much have it on lock down.

Mike ! I warned you two years ago to get ready for this PK kid. Are you now saying the City is ready for him.!
I told you he was a cross between Bobby Orr and Brad Park, and you ain’t seen the whole show yet my friend.!
He
will own this town, and the best part about it is, he won’t even know
it. He will just take it all in stride having fun and being himself. -
They don’t even mention him for rookie of the year NOW, we’ll see by the end of the season if it’s the same?

thanks mate
atdhetv.net is their “new” site site i believe
ATDHE relocated, but you should use http://www.myp2pforum.eu/forums/29-NHL-Icehockey
then how did henrik sedin win the hart trophy last season? he beat crosby out by, what, 3 points? and scored 30 more goals than him? I agree with you that toews is the sexier name, but people view him as an offensive juggernaut, which he is not. the american press is doing their best to bring kesler to the forefront; the first sports illustrated hockey article in a month was centered around him.
But when he doesn’t have the Sedins flanking him he’s seeing the oppositions’ #2 line, which should, but won’t work against him in consideration.
Kesler will probably get it this year with Datsyuk out to injury this long.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
ryan kesler is superior to toews in almost every category, including blocks, hits, goals, shorthanded goals, and points. he also plays on a better team, which usually helps. I think he will run away with it
Toews’ faceoff percentage and takeaways alone will win him the award. The award almost never goes to the player most deserving. I feel that Pleks is a better defensive player than Staal, Bergeron and Richards but he won’t get consideration due to his lack of star power.
I know who hates that trade: Florida and the Islanders, as they own the 2 second round picks we would have in 2011.
EDIT: Just noticed you never mentioned 2011, that was a poster below. Little quick on the draw, my apologies.
as much as like fisher. hes a bit overrated. i dont like the idea of losing webber, since hes been good in last few games.. if p.gautheir wants a forward and wants to spend money and trade our assets for him, then i think he should really go for someone big (iginla,backes, clowe.. i wouldnt mind steve downie aswell)
Nice little TSN feature on Tomas Plekanec where Brian Gionta pays him a big compliment. He truely deserves Selke Trophy consideration.
Here’s a site that gives a pretty good summary of the whole UBB topic and what we can do about it.

it will also mean less (affordable) hits to atdhe.me, which is crucial to Habs fans without RDS
Doubt it would happen , Fisher is signed through 2013 and i doubt ottawa would only want Maxwell , weber and a 2nd especially because we are in the same division. He is also a center and all of our centers are looking comfortable right now.
Nope. I don’t understand what people see in Mike Fisher. On top of that, Weber’s a roster player right now, who replaces him on the back end?

It’s a statistical fact that 33% of RJ Umberger’s goals have been scored against the Habs.
If he gets traded to us his goal production will plummet.
Shoot out to Mike Boone—
Any chance to put the picture up on the site tonight that I sent to you today, to share with the HIO gang. There is still a couple of players in the picture that I do not remember. Who knows them all.?
Another start by the Auld-man-out…Is there another way out?
Maybe Gilly in goal?
Kovalev should shut his mouth and try to play with some heart.
LMAO @ the laffs signing Brown.
add phillips and Umberger and this team is a contender…..
To Montreal: D Chris Phillips
To Ottawa: 2nd rd pick 2011
F Ben maxwell
To Montreal : R.J Umberger
To Columbus : Andrei Kostitsyn
Nope, not at all.
Seabrook was only on one leg at the exact moment he was checked – no way he gets pushed around like a minor league 160lbs rag doll like that – Umberger ain’t THAT strong!
Then, did you see how close his skate came to hit Umberger’s face, that would have been ugly
My 2 cents
Plekanec for the Selke? For sure! Here’s the TSN clip mentined below where Gionta, Spacek and JM talk about Pleky: http://watch.tsn.ca/nhl/clip411414#clip411414
“It must be love!”
Anybody like this trade?
To Ottawa: Ben Maxwell, Weber, and 2nd round pick
To MTL: Mike Fisher, 4th round pick
Booth from Florida for AK46 and a draft pick
or
Knuble (UFA) from Washington for a 2nd rounder,
Not happening as long as Kesler, Datsuyk, Toews, M.Richards and Jordan Staal are playing in the NHL. Staal isn’t worthy but he gets credit for defensive ability because he’s a big name who can’t contribute offensively.
off topic , but does anyone know about this usage based billing that canada is putting into effect in march? Im interested in knowing more about it but too lazy to do the research . I find that its a suitable topic on this site because it could mean less hits for habsinsideout .
I see someone’s feeling generous tonight.
Alex’s hand gets tired from endorsing all the cheques he’s been signing. It’s why he’s not performing up to par… and he’s got a really big handicap.
Enough about Kovalev. I still fail to see the attraction about a guy who showed up maybe 20% of the time.
Dear Alex,
No one cares why you left Montreal, except maybe you.
Thanks for chequeing in again.
off topic but just want to wish all HIO readers happy chinese new year, Kung Hei fat choy! it is new years morning here in hong kong, first day of the year of the rabbit. prosperity, health and silverware in june to the habs!
Video of the huge Umberger hit on Seabrook — I’d love to see RJ in a Habs jersey, but doubt it will happen:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMpMewK6G5c
I don’t look at it that way. How the teams perform defensively will tie in to the vote. Those players are Pleks competition and he’ll need to outperform them as two-way players. Staal missed too much time to get votes this year, Chicago is not strong enough defensively to merit Toews winning, and presently Montreal has better goals against than Detroit. Kesler and Richards will figure in, but my vote would go to Patrice Bergeron. Plekanec will only have a ligit shot should the Habs tighten up big time in the goals against dept from here on. Currently, they are 6th best, 15 GA back of Philly, and their PK is seventh. Both stats will figure in for Pleks.
Kristo’s winter walk-a-bout… Crack-ish?
Still pretty pumped about last night’s win! Hope they can dig deep for another big one tonight.
Auld needs extra protection, so hopefully the D and forwards are conscious of who is in nets tonight!

meh. now this is bad a*s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9RdspQzZx8&feature=fvw
When they showed Cammy skating yesterday, he was incredibly ginger with his shoulder. He isn’t close to being back.
aaron Ward ..genius ! bring back Panger …
Until Plekanec works his faceoffs into the 55% territory he isn’t getting a shot at it, I think he should get on the final ballot but there is no clear idea in hell about what makes a guy a Selke candidate anymore when you look at the yearly balloting for it. 1/3rd think it’s an award for the best 2nd-line center scoring, 1/3rd all just picking the guy on their team beat and 1/3rd vote based on reputation.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
From Stu’s article:
But there’s a nagging sense the Heritage Classic is a burden for the league, an obligation to the sport in its birthplace that won’t bring them any tangible benefit in U.S. TV ratings, sponsorships or merchandise sales. Canada is a mature hockey market and the growth possibilities in the U.S. seems to inspire the league far more.
Couldn’t agree more.
and toews is flanked by either hossa or kane every night, with patrick sharp and one of the 2 aforementioned wingers on the “second” line for the hawks. I would think that teams don’t always play their top line against toews’ unit (in fact I know they don’t), because they really have two top lines. toews is a terrific player, one of the best centers in the game in every way, but kesler is having a better year for the better team. therefore, he will (and should) win the award.
Right on dude, same to you! The Habs community truly is international
help… urgent.. streaming needed seems to be a problem with http://www.atdhe.me/ other options pls
I predict 3-1 Habs tonight!
Go all out or Gomez!
I don’t disagree, but what you have to realize is that this is a name award. The sexiest name gets it. Toews will run away with it because he strikes into the heart of American fans, much like Staal.
I would not trade Weber. He is emerging as a legitimate NHL defenceman, and will form an important part of the young nucleus that will be instrumental in the Habs’ future success, along with Pacioretty, Eller, Subban, Price, and Pouliot. All 6 of those players are untouchable, IMO. Weber’s emergence likely means that the Habs will not re-sign Wisniewski in the off season. Unlike Wiz, Weber has had no significant injuries, is a better skater, and has just as good a shot from the point as Wiz — not to mention the fact that he will cost way less money.
Stu Hackel has it exactly right.

Feed seems excellent so far…hope it works
“They say you can’t buy experience,and it’s really true.” -Carey Price
Ol’ Auld’ll ‘old his own vs.’is ol’club.
Stu speaks the truth!
AK46 couldn’t tie up Dick Duff’s skates.
If PG decides on trying to acquire a big forward instead of a defenseman, R.J. Umberger is the prototype. Strong, physical, and a regular 20-30 goal guy. He’s in the prime of his career right now and could be a huge addition to a team like the Canadiens.
As will our Goals Against average
My hometown newspaper Grand Forks Herald article regarding Kristo. Heard rumors of this two days ago and that he was drunk. http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/192071
If they all had the heart of Saku
I feel bad for Danny Kristo…frost bite is no fun and if it is bad enough he may have to have the toe (big toe)and maybe more amputated to remove the damaged flesh in order to safe his foot…without a big toe on one foot could seriously impact his hockey career. Bummer.
Hope the kid is going to be OK…
Excellent. Thanks.
No problem, best feed I’ve seen in awhile
“They say you can’t buy experience,and it’s really true.” -Carey Price
with the trade deadline approaching it will be interesting to see what the habs do…since the beginning of last year our line up has shown that it fits into somewhere in the 22nd to 25th spot in team scoring in the nhl…to change this we would need to add goal scoring forwards that more likely will not be available in a trade….i believe the decision will be made that if we add any players it will be to bolster even more the defensive aspect of our game..our strong points are goaltending,team d,d and pk…we have to get even better in these areas..we need the pp to click so it helps out our lack of scoring….
Too bad that didnt bounce off Gomerz head.
Bingo! And if the place you bought them doesn’t have that take them to any Fraser Sports and they’ll do it for you right.
***Subbang!!!***
Will do if they don’t get better after a couple uses.
Hey, Nietzsche: Now we got a game worth watching here!
Based on the movements of reasoner’s mouth after Spacek fell, he wasn’t entirely sure the call was deserved.
WHY CAN”T HAL GILL SHOOT?
“The Allo Police Media – a collection of bitter ex-coaches, players and wannabees whose collective lack of success accounts for their present positions in Sports’ equivalent of a Jerry Springer Show”
as usual, we have to make this closer then it has to be. Stupidity of gomez’s part.
Weak call by the ref, barely a trip.
The Canucks actually got Luongo through Florida for Auldy and a few others…Who’s the Auld-man out in that deal?
Da Pantas don’t know diddly squat.
But tonight they seem to have some bite… and tha Auld one’s having flashbacks.
Considering that every game he’s played, Auld has had to go in about 8-10 games cold, he’s played fantastic. He does have a bit of a horse shoe up his butt, but who cares? I’m very pleased with what we’ve gotten from Auld so far.
Absolutely agree.
I love how they hired the old man from UP … and the Gionta goal I guessOlé, olé, olé oleé
Well, I think most people thought you were wrong on Price! ; )
NICE!!!! Beautiful power move by Patches.
That was ALL-STAR driving the net from MAXPAC!!!! BOOYA!
Props to Auld and Weber – if they don’t stop that error goal….
phew
Alright lets get the pp goin boys
Penguins shut out NYI in a game featuring a fight between Brent Johnson and Rick DiPietro.
I like Auld as a backup. He’s notorious at being inconsistant apparently as a no. 1 goalie afaik.
Goalies in Montreal have two roles, netminder and scapegoat.
wow. Not much there.
It’s tough enough to play (and play well) when you are only playing twice a month,then throw in the lack of offensive support on top of that. Auld has been pretty good aside from the flames game. Wasn’t very good against the leafs either but neither was the rest of the team. Its alot to ask from your backup to pull out a win when you only score 1 goal for him.
Gomez……..
Latendresse could blow by defenders with speed and take it to the net? No, he couldn’t. He still can’t. Latendresse will never have the speed to be able to do that.
Yeah, both in being an experienced mentor, and Price having no pressure on having to compete for the NO.1 job.
Goalies in Montreal have two roles, netminder and scapegoat.
Good point. And I have to say, I was wrong. I had zero faith in Auld. Or Price, for that matter.

I like him as a backup too, I think he’s done wonders for Price.

“I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.” – Bilbo Baggins
Last year.
Not saying he did it often, but Latendresse could do that.
Not surprising – he has a better GAA and save % than Price this season…and NO, that’s not a dig at Price, who is having a great bounce-back season. Really impressed by him.

Oops…said the same thing above to Andrew. But I forgot, JM ruined PK as well.
***Subbang!!!***
That cannot get any closer to in. The spin on that puck took it past the goalline after it hit the ice, luckily it was already past the post.
did I mention Olé, olé, olé oleé ?
And here I thought JM ruined him.
***Subbang!!!***
But Jacques Martin ruined him. And Subban.
Auld has been bloody fantastic this period!
Good things happen when you go to the net….
When’s the last time the Habs had a power forward who could do what Pacioretty just did?
Patches and PK with a pair of helpers each tonight.
Remember when Pacioretty was a useless bum last year? Good times.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
Auld has been very good and very lucky in this game. Impressive performance from him.
GIOOOOOOO! The captain strikes again. Sweet effort from Patches too.
Goalies in Montreal have two roles, netminder and scapegoat.
Gomez, come on. A veteran Assistant Captain needs more discipline than that.
WHAT. What about the retaliation punch?
Gomez with yet another selfish penalty…hard to like that guy.

DiPietro, owned by old man Brent Johnson!

would his numbers be the same if he played as many games as Price
Hopefully Muller tells Gomer to “knock that s*** off” when he returns to the bench.

Wow, just saw the highlights of Brent Johnson punching Rick Dipietro in the side of the face.
Awesome, I just saw that on TSN. DiPietro went down smiling, but I think that’s ’cause Johnson severed a nerve!
Likely not. And let’s hope we don’t have to find out. But did anyone in the off-season think Auld would be doing so well?
__________________________

Imagine if JM hadn’t ruined him! Cam Neely.
Not to sure about Auld in a shoot out!
We better take this one in regulation time.
They showed the highlights of Ottawa – Detroit and it’s only a “barn burner” because the keepers are useless.
Now we’re talking
What an ugly goal. I love it!!!!
WOO YA HABS! So lucky Patches (?) got a piece of that pass in the neutral zone!
What was that? Who cares.
If only Kostitsyn and Pouliot had the gumption to drive the net like Gionta does………..
tyler kennedy is fuglier

Walked right off the evolution line one or two steps before the rest of us. Homo Riccius?

was 4, had to look it up http://www.nhl.com/ice/scores.htm?date=05/06/2010
4 goals. Franzen is one of the most dangerous playoff guys in the NHL, DET are the kings of stealing picks out of Sweden, I’m honestly surprised they didn’t draft Enstrom looking at the results of that 8th-round pick by ATL.

i dont care hes banging elisha Cuthbert
I love Franzen, but it’s against the Sens, doesn’t count.
Darche seems afraid of the net when he has the puck!
How is that not a penalty? Crosschecking, interference, delay of game, take your pick.
A most pleasant ovation to Mr. Johan Franzen, first NHLer to get 5 goals in a game since Marian Gaborik in 2007. Crosby hasn’t done it, neither has Malkin, Ovechkin or Stamkos.

i have a few friends in the DC area and they are surprisingly knowledgable. they know the game, the rules ect. and you’re right, totally enthusiactic about hockey. but they also wouldnt have a clue who dino was, its OV thats bringing it to the capitals, altho hes lost his stride this year.
Agreed, but at least goals are being scored. ‘Barn burner’ by 1979-1991 Smythe Division standards.
Haha nice greasy one for ya
The only thing in hockey uglier than that goal is Mike Ricci.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
Ugly, but we’ll take it.
Problem with that is the penalty for exceeding the cap is automatic loss of every game played while over the cap. We’re not talking luxury tax here.
ET LE BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!
That’s a sobering dose of cold, reality water.
I was at the Verizon Center for the game against the Capitals last night, and boy, was PK special. Not flawless – by any stretch – but reading the play smartly and working very hard (and, for the most part, effectively) against Ovechkin. His penalty was stupid (and “Kirkie” apparently had words with him to that effect), but when he gets possession, a number of assets come into play: speed, vision, toughness, and obnoxiousness (the Caps fans were booing him heartily every time he touched the puck). He’s going to be a big, big deal. Not surprised to see him involved in the Halpern goal.
BTW, Washington fans are fun – they way more hockey enthusiasm than hockey knowledge. I had to explain to a bunch of them sitting next to me who Dino C. was…
2P 11:30: Good thing the bus company didn’t freeze Auld’s horseshoe LOL
I say we go big next year, spend 200 million over the salary cap. take the penalties for it and win the cup!
Every single time the Canadiens play the Panthers, I prepare myself for a boring game. I don’t know what law is operating over that regularity, but I have passed from anger, to denial, through to depression and firmly into acceptance. Tonight is no exception, but it’s just a little extra hard to take while there’s a barn-burner on TSN featuring the one Canadian team with fans utterly undeserving of any excitement whatsoever. So, just thought I’d complain a bit.
Desharnais is having a brilliant game. Working hard everywhere, nearly impossible to knock of the puck.
Are you stupid, or just a troll? The Habs have spent over the cap for the last couple of seasons.
That was a moronic pass by Gomez.
lol
Man I wish we could draft a Franzen type player!
too bad habs management are such penny pinchers.
they tried to save $$ by getting a career minor leaguer goalie, Auld, who’s horrible.
also giving away Halak for a career minor leaguer, Eller, who couldn’t score if his life depended on it.
spens some money PG and show the fans you’re more interested in winning, rather than saving $$$.
Panthers lack truculence.
A few months late to tempt people with the idea he’s useful. He needed to score tonight to pull ahead of Halpern.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
Subban now has 20 points (and counting) in 46 games..

It’s getting a little better as the Florida defence breaks down, but what a messy, dull game. Half the attacks look like drunks trying to pick up ping pong balls.
That was not holding…
Great job by Desharnais to draw that call, because it was DD who committed the foul.
a link for us late arriving from the states please.
Really wondering why Subban didn’t shoot that puck.
It’s just you … and me .. and everyone else watching .. and playing.
why do the hab players loose their skate edge way more than the panthers…pathetic game so far
It’s been the Habs’ game from the 2nd onwards IMO, like yesterday right?
What were Gomez and Subban thinking on their shift? That passing was just… I can’t think of words to describe how badly aimed they were.
- I shall always remember Captain Koivu. Habs and Hockey.
We’re playing rope-a-dope…
pyatt and moen not good vs bad teams
Pouliot needs top 6 minutes
thanks for the link!
Sorry but I don’t think Auld can make a glove save. He just swats at it, causing a large rebound. This is why stats don’t tell the whole story, and why scouts need to pay attention. Anyone else watch him on other teams? Does he make regular glove saves? I’ve seen maybe one or two on this team.
Very very shakey.
Good save Auld.
Am I the only one who thinks he’s usually TOO deep in his net?
Is Auld drunk!
Not just you..!
No kidding, that had goal all over it.
Aie yie yie!
http://habsvision.blogspot.com/
yeah or the fact that there are virtually no true scorers on either team…
Vokoun’s starting to break down a bit, rebounds are coming and he’s losing sight of the puck more. Just as he has all season he gets weaker as the game goes on. Habs can capitalize in the 3rd.
Oh God hahaha!
He didn’t impede his shot at all
Still had a solid scoring chance.
Is it just me…
or does this game suck?
Also vs good teams.
Now we know why Florida is such a draw around NHL circles.
I am really enjoying this game! (watching a hockey game after a while….blame the exams! )
Post!
Gomez is so soft on the puck
Subban might be the best I’ve seen at knocking pucks out of the air. Amazing hand-eye coordination.

Heheh.. hand over David Booth for Andrei Kostitsyn + picks/prospects, Mr. Tallon.
Where did you buy them? Most reputable hockey shops (even the big-box stores) have heat-mold machines, and even if the skates aren’t marketed as heat moldable, performing the process on your skates should certainly shorten the break-in time.
Get them wet and wear them around the house (the old school technique ;–)
Loan them to Gomez. He skates alot. Doesn’t go anywhere but he REALLY skates alot.
***Subbang!!!***
Skate more.
***Subbang!!!***
Anyone have any tips or tricks for breaking in skates faster?
Soak em in water and skate on them a few times. It is uncomfortable at first but then they mold to your feet.
I got em molded in the heater at the store but I didnt find it was hot enough to do anything so I put em in the over for about 5 minutes got em nice and hot and put em on for 20 minutes…they fit like slippers ever since…
wear them around the house
Skate harder, fasster, longer. Hmmm. That might break in your feet instead.
I don’t get it, is there a pun in there?
“Slick play by Eller. He and AK46 are developing vague chemistry”…… nicely done Boone!
I see Pulitzer prize if u keep that phrasing up…. or at least a Sports Media Canada Achievement Awards.
Great stuff!
I wouldn’t mind seeing someone wipe that smarmy smirk off Stall’s face….
Considering the complete acting performance Prust gave, Staal received more than enough discipline.
Freaky night for Franzen in Ottawa: five goals?? Never happens. He had never scored more than two in a regular season game before … weird!
Full Breezer 4 Life
He does have 3 hat tricks in the playoffs though.
Now that you’ve mentioned it…that is pretty embarrassing.
However I would not blame Gomez for his lack of production today. Not with AK46 and Eller as his linemates.
So true, so good, so boone
a win is a win.. great effort by the boys.. from what i saw anyways
ok unless Gomez has a ridiculous playoffs or goes on a torrid scoring streak from here on in this season will be a compelte and utter failure for this guy
yes he’s fast, yes he rushes the puck not to badly.. but man oh man.. i dunno everything that’s been said has been said
oh and the NHL continues to be a joke by not doing anything to Jordan Staal… laughable discipline comity
——————
88 is the new 23
I wish we had someone that gets extreme pleasure in wiping smiles off of opponent’s faces.
OOhh…Say what u will about Patches,but Pleks brings out the woman in me.
Totally agree, and fantastic expression – which I’m totally stealing
Franzen with 5 goals tonight.
One more, and he would have equalled Gomez’s production in his 50 games this season.
Pathetic.

Unsung hero from the last 48 hours: Moen.
I saw him play in person yesterday @ the Verizon Center, and he was very impressive – ditto tonight. When his line is out, there is puck control, offensive pressure, and relentless forechecking/backchecking. He doesn’t score, but has a very good command of the play that keeps pucks and bodies in the opposition zone for significant stretches of time. For a team like ours, which relies on goaltending, special teams, forward support of the defense, and razor-thin margins of victory, Moen’s contribution is extremely important: he eats up big amounts of time in the opposing zone.
I love Patches. He is a legitimate power forward in-the-making. Wins races and puck battles – just throw it into his corner and he’ll come out with it. I think he’s a gem.
Say whatever you want about the 3 stars….but two of them are the best players the Habs have.
I’m feeling more comfortable when Auld starts, he’s capable of getting the job done, which is all that’s asked of him.
Goalies in Montreal have two roles, netminder and scapegoat.
Yep. Auld looked like a picnic table in a blender making his saves, but he made them!
Say what you want about our backup. He kept them in the game and made some big saves when required. My new hero, Jaro Auld.
***Subbang!!!***
Great win, all things considered. Too bad about the late goal (thanks Gomez!) to make it close, but really, another semi-dominating game by the Habs. This time last season we were getting consistently outshot, and relying on goaltending to keep us in the games. This season, we are controlling the play a lot more. Thanks JM? Whatever the coaching staff is doing, it seems to be working.

PK and PP are garbage … but they keep winning … so who cares.
Will the Habs ever again win a hockey game by more than one goal?
No pun, Just a nice turn of a phrase, in my opinion, from Boone’s blog.
If anything, our now-miserable PK should be able to stop their ever-miserable PP. Hopefully.
Yeah, I just bought new skates a couple weaks ago, hadn’t skated in 5 years. Tried them out last Sunday, 20 minutes later I couldn’t believe the pain. I also have wide feet so it takes awhile to get used to it. Gonna have to go several times a week now.
Good to know, I also have size 9 feet, and have similar problems with width vs length. As far as shoes goes, I’ve found that Merrells are a god send. They’re a very comfortable sole, wide enough at size 9 and not too long. The funniest thing for me to try on is ski boots. I have a pair of size 12 ski boots just to get them around my calves.
Hope they do. I have weird feet (Size 9, but EE) so it’s hard to find shoes/skates/cleats that fit well. If they are wide enough, they are usually too long. I can’t wear Adidas shoes because of it (they are the narrowest on the market, as far as I can tell), but Avia, Asics and New Balance are fantastic.
CCM (especially Tacks skates), Bauer and Nike are all too narrow for my foot in general and I find it harder to find anything wider than a D for those brands (although you should have more luck in Montreal). My Easton’s are E’s and they are glorious…never a second of pain with them since the first day of them, whether I am playing outdoors in -25 or indoors.
CCMs are what I have… Damn. Hopefully they’ll get better as I skate more.
If you’re getting a ton of pain, the skates probably aren’t the right size. I used to think your feet should hurt while you break them in, but most skates today are a lot easier to break in.
If you have wide feet, I really recommend Easton’s. I love them. CCM and Nike/Bauer are just murder on my feet, but I’ve never had an issue with any of my 3 pairs of Easton’s. Only problem with them is that stupid blade they use can break due to shear if you are heavier.
We need the 2 points, stay out of the box and skate.!!
How is that NOT a penalty????
Old style NHL reffing.
Habs will get one – just watch.
WHAT A MOVE BY PACIORETTY!!!
Finally, a forward who is willing to go to the net.

A shamefully boring excuse for a hockey game. It’s kind of awkward that Bell Centre tickets are so expensive on nights like this. If I were selling the beer I’d be feeling guilty all night.

I was very impressed with myp2p feed last night, better than I usually got on Atdhe. Good timing with the 6 Nations Rugby starting this weekend.
He’s been pretty good tonight
hahah, oh boy! Poor Booth (Spacek)
That would deny fans the opportunity to watch world-class professional hockey….
Let’s just go to the shootout already.
I’ve heard heat was the way to go. Wouldn’t that also be really cold if you’re outside? Don’t want to pull a Danny Kristo.
Skate in them WHILE they’re WET?
ok or just walk on them when they are wet.
Go all out or Gomez!
Well, he picked the top corner (open) and missed by 2″. Hardly a hanging offense….
(Beware a counsel of perfection)
How does Gomez miss from point blank range?

This particular scrub happens to be a very hard working, dedicated young man. He deserves every goal he gets. An absolute ace in the faceoff circle his determination and leadership led the Windsor Spitfires to back to back Memorial Cup championships and he was part of the Kitchener Rangers team that went to the Memorial Cup the year prior. He’s a great kid and even though I’m (no pun intended, lol) a huge Habs fan, I’m completely thrilled for Scott. This is a night he will never forget – win or lose. The only thing that would make me happier, would be to have him in a HABS jersey!

-11 farenheit is about -24 celcius
Maybe that will wake him up.
Considering he plays in the States and that’s where the story came from, I’m guessing it was -11 degrees farenheit which is colder then -11 celcius
It is if you are passed out for three hours in the snow without shoes before someone notices you….
That hit on AK looked a bit head-y…
Did it have to do with BBQing fish (skate)?

How to break in skates was one of the all-time classic threads in the early days of HIO.
http://habsvision.blogspot.com/
here you go enjoy
i was surprised he didnt get 4
I was also going to ask, but I’m afraid of the answer.
Weber’s improved play in his own end in the last month alone is astounding. Pearn deserves a raise for his coaching of Subban and Weber
Well, that’s Brian for you. He’ll marinate anything.
***Subbang!!!***
Marinate?
***Subbang!!!***
On the breaking in skates issue, you have to track down a guy who used to post on HIO named Pelks Andrew and have him marinate them for you.
It’s a power outage not a powerplay, ouch!
funny i was thinking the same thing
PP is terrible tonight.
I’d like to think the Habs have been more disciplined the last couple of games, and that’s the reason we’re getting more PP’s than PK’s, but it’s not. Last night we got way with several penalties, and tonight so far, Gomez crosschecked Reasoner with no call, and when Pouliot hits Allen in the back of the head, they only call Allen for the retaliation. The calls that had been going against are now for us. If our PP wasn’t totally inept, I’d be happier about it, but it’s better than being shorthanded all the time.
No chance for AA on that one.
Goalies in Montreal have two roles, netminder and scapegoat.
Kind of a listless start. However all year the Panthers have started well and broke down in the third period so it’s not much of a worry.
It just ain’t a PP without Price playing the point!
Did Spacek just get a penalty for Gionta getting high sticked? What happened there?
can anyone give me a link for a game feed? THANKS
A couple of listless PPs thus far. It is maddening how night and day our PP is between being electric on the road and disorganized at home.
Oof Hammer, wtf was that?

Come on, what was Kristo wearing on his “stroll”, flipflops?
Eleven below in any degrees is hardly a killer temperature.

Now a PP goal?
Keep the speed up Habs! The Panthers like to slow the game down.
Hard to believe that Allen was a 4th overall pick way back when.
Swing and a miss by PK…
That is just crappy luck. A blocked shot ending up directly on an opponents stick with the yawning cage in front of him. I bet the Habs give up the most “first of his career” goals in the league.
Habs need to be down by 2 before they excercise their energy … godforbid they came out swinging
I’d like a stat to see how many times Montreal allows some scrub to score their first career goal against them in Montreal.
Asleep to start the game for the second game in a row and Peter DeBoer is a lot better at keeping his team in line then Boudreau is
Habs continue their tradition of getting guys their first NHL goals.

Nice rush by Pleks
u would think with all the ice time gomez gets, he would at least outscore halpern. i predict either next year or hopefully the year after they wade redden his ass, especially since his cap hit is 7.3 but his salary drops off
That’s a soft call as well.

Nice play by PK
beau jeu de Subban!
Nice moves by PK to get it to the net.
For the second night in a row, the Habs are in a game featuring two of the league’s seven #52s going head-to-head. Also, with Timmins, the Florida rookie, wearing number 75, Hal Gill is no longer the only one in the league currently donning that number.
Our offence is so depressing.
When did we get one of those?
Edit: Never mind…

YAWN. Martin vs DeBoer = boring, crap hockey.
Full Breezer 4 Life
They have better attendance numbers than the Stars, Avalanche, Ducks, Devils, Blue Jackets, Thrashers, Coyotes, and Islanders.
And thats $59 for any two games in February. Which means their sched this month is full of crappy teams so they have an offer like this to get some people out.
Gill on for two last night and one so far tonight.Too bad he doesnt take his man out.
Gosh just watched the replay.
I understand that Auld was out of position but Gill was REALLY soft there.
Cmoon bud!
$59 at the Bell Centre gets you 3 beers…..
OK. Now they got the famous JM pep talk during the intermission and they’re raring to go in the second!
because we have one of the lowest scoring forward groups in the nhl, games vs the weaker teams will be just as close as vs the top teams..the way the team is made up they have more problems with teams like the panthers,leafs than capitals,bruins or penguins
Other than the goal this is a JM wet dream!
“The Allo Police Media – a collection of bitter ex-coaches, players and wannabees whose collective lack of success accounts for their present positions in Sports’ equivalent of a Jerry Springer Show”
It seems to be going well in Tampa Bay, but then again, it helps to have players such as Steven Stamkos.
The last time the Panthers made the playoffs, Bill Clinton was president.
I wasn’t really waching the shot count but it did seem low. I think most of the habs shots came in the late stages of the period, when it seemed they got their legs back. Nasty travel home?
“Tell him he’s Wayne Gretzky.” – Oilers coach Ted Green, after Shaun Van Allen suffered a concussion and couldn’t remember who he was.
and anderson silva defends his title in 3 days… oh wait, thats a real sport
2 games (any you choose) in the lower bowl in Florida: $59 – you get parking, a locker room tour, player signing.
Is there anyone out there that thinks hockey might be succeeding in Florida? That is sad.
geez what a snooze fest..feel sorry for the peepz who pay 200$ to watch this..
in other news those of you who follow wrestling.. diesel and booker T are back to wwe. wtf!
Yeah, that jinx seems to have worn off… And thanks!
I’ve seen this flick before and the action doesn’t get started until later. Maybe I’ll set the alarm for 9pm, have a nap and catch the ending.

Sloppy too, on both sides.

Great play by Subban to cut to the middle! Excellent tip by Halpern!

Seems like it, doesn’t it?
Vokoun made himself big, forced Gomez to pick a corner and he missed.
Gomez you *&$% I defend you enough around here, you gotta hit the target bro!! EDIT: on the replay it looks like the puck was rolling but STILL
I think he better spend Auld-day tomorrow working on rebounds.
Well that really looked like a thrown stick…
WHAT THE HELL!!! That’s a penalty shot! Ellerby threw his stick!
Spaceman must hate Booth. Last season he re-concusses Booth, and now he pounds him face first into the crossbar.
It actually goes back to his childhood. Spatch had a lisp and when he wanted to go outside, the other kids would laugh at him because he would say “booth” instead of “boots”, to the point where “booth” was his schoolyard nickname. Seeing Booth out on the ice brings back the bad childhood memories. True story.
if the salary cap didnt exist i would like to see a make over ala real madrid

ovechkin-datsyk-r.nash
perry-getzlaf-zetterberg
richards-kesler-toews

keith-pronger
Markov-enstrom
Price
lundquvist
lol
If the salary cap didn’t exist I’d love to see:
Markov-Emelin
Subban-Hamr
Wiz-Gorges
Gill (for the inevitable knee injury to Markov).
Send Spacek wherever will take him.
You can forget Emelin in the AHL. He’s a well-paid star in the KHL and won’t play in Hamilton, ever. Gill, to my mind, is unlikely to return, nor Hamrlik as we continue to get younger.
I don’t see the Habs waiting around for a year for Weber to develop beyond the bottom 6, they’ll sign Big Wizz and Weber will become odd man out / #7 You can imagine the logjam if Emelin comes over, but if not the depth will still be decent.
Don’t forget Weber, he’s really playing his way into the future plans of the team. His D has been getting better and he has a lot of offensive upside.
Thanks! How could i forget ? I guess no matter how one looks at it, OByrne was definately the odd man out
Thats why it was a smart move by JM, or the defense coach to pair up PK and the Wiz on the top PP pairing. Then if they try to take away the point shot there’s another available. Smart move IMO.
They still need that shooter, though, even when they aren’t producing goals themselves. As a team with little net presence (although Pacioretty has been developing in that regard), keeping the box loose with a big shot out at the point makes it easier for the forwards to do their thing.
If the PP struggles, its because the forwards are not doing THEIR job of making the opposition pay for pressuring the point-men.
Could happen, but he’s not worth a huge amount of money in my eyes. I like the Wiz, but he has some defensive issues. Once teams figure out he’s the shooter (like they did with MAB) his use might even start to wither. I noticed last night they were all over him, not allowing the shot.
i hope we can sign him, however if his signing hinders with markov’s contract negotiations i dont mind letting him go.
I don’t think PG would have traded for him if he wasn’t in our future plans. We need a big shot and he’s got it. Even, as someone mentioned below, once teams figure out that they have to cover his point shot, that opens up some room elsewhere for other guys on the PP. He plays with a bit of an edge and he seems like a nice fit. The D is due for a retooling this summer and I hope that Wiz is part of it.
He was very enthusiastic when he arrived, and not just in the typical way. With Hamrlik’s and Gill’s money being freed up, I think there’s a real chance it might happen.
No doubt he’s part of Gauthier’s long term plans, I expect he’ll be back for sure.
As an UFA, he should be able to grab $5M a season, long term.
I appreciate what he has done on the PP but he’s a bit of a disaster in his own end. Gets beat at the blueline and runs around a lot. Not a good positional Dman in my eyes. I also worry about his three leg operations (his signing would mean three guys on the defense with bad pegs).
If Markov comes back there certainly is no need to re-sign the Wiz. Not with Subban and Weber here to help provide offense from the back end.
As I recall it, last summer, PG informed Moore and Metro that the club would not be seeking their services for the coming year. As twocents noted below, I think it’s on if both parties are interested….. Hmmm, I think we should resign Gill for cheap. His veteran leadership is valuable and he seems to be a good influence for Subban.
Hopefully we’ll have prospects like Tinordi and Emelin with the AHL. Guess we’re stuck with Spacek.
Markov – ?
Spacek – Subban
Gill – Gorges ?
I agree with 24 cups, I think he’ll get a lucrative offer from someone like Burke and he’ll take it.
What does everything think about our chances of signing The Wiz after the season is over? He is a UFA. I would like to sign him, but we haven’t had the best of luck signing UFA’s we acquire (e.g., Dominic Moore)
Agreed, although I even thought at the time the trade was ridiculous, not only because the obvious value of draft picks, but the fact that there wasn’t and still isn’t a centre in Toronto anywhere near as good as what he had in Boston
I’m hoping the Leafs make the playoffs and lose to Montreal in the conference final. Another top pick going to Boston scares the living heck out of me. That team is getting dangerous, and there are enough good defencemen in this year’s draft (Larsson, Ryan Murphy, Dougie Hamilton) that the Bruins could get a much needed piece of their puzzle from anywhere in the lottery. Ugh.
gionta would have also,probably closer to 40
Chris – Burke’s only hope on this deal is if this year’s 1st rounder turns out to be a bust for Boston. I’m hoping for Toronto to finish around 10th in the East so Boston doesn’t get one of the top four kids. If the Bruins draft Larsson or Couturier, we might as well move to the Western Conference.
Burke had the perfect window of opportunity when he arrived. The fans and owners were willing to wait a few years as Burke grabbed some of the best kids in the entry draft. They could then become the next version of the Oilers. But he wanted to do a quick turnaround (and be the hero) which led to the Kessel deal and the UFA signings. Instead of having Seguin and Larsson as building blocks, he now has Kessel and Komisarek. And for big coin.
Cammalleri minus injuries last year would have
He probably would have hit 30 last season were it not for the injury. But injuries are a big part of the game, and while people haven’t been harping on it as much as they do with other players, Cammalleri is not particularly durable.
He missed 17 games with a rib injury in 2008, 17 games with a right MCL in 2010 and will probably be missing 10 games or more with his current shoulder injury.
I’m not arguing that Kessel is better than Cammalleri, and definitely not arguing that he was worth a #2 overall pick and possibly another top 5 pick. But he’s a pretty decent little player in his role, which is scoring goals.
It was a terrible trade in retrospect, as the Leafs were far worse than they thought they would be.
But Kessel is 23 years old and is on pace to score more than 30 goals for the third consecutive season, something that not a single member of the Montreal Canadiens roster has accomplished.
In fact, the ability to consistently score 30 goals or more in the league is an exceedingly rare talent…I would hazard a guess that there are 20 guys or less that could pull match that consistency if they score 30 this season.
Hell, I think that even 5 of the 6 goalies got on the score sheet.
Congrats, Toranna. You got yourselves a sniper that couldn’t even register a point in an All-Star game. And all for a couple of measly first-rounders.
I think we only have 1 all year,not sure though.
Should have been easier, yes, but a big win for Auld. Glad he got a star.
Maybe he got drunk and passed out in a snowbank?
Went for a stroll in his housecoat and slippers
Kristo hospitalized after walking in -11F (-23C) because of frostbite? How does that happen, was he wearing sandals??
Nope, looked like Pouliot alone took 4 hits from behind.
yup, got it ryan – thanks!

Mr. Mike Boone, I would be curious to your thoughts on Phil Kessel being drafted last in the All Star draft. Did you feel bad for the guy.
I’d like to know if Kessel was more embarrassed being picked last or being the only skater to not register a point in the game.

Hard working shift for the homeboys
WHEW!
Woah Yannick! Keep yer head up boy!
Anyone see former Hab killer Umberger’s massive body check on Seabrook last night?
Jeez Webber, almost gave me a heart attack.
I guess its legal now to cross-check Darche into your own net to avoid a potential scoring chance.
Reff off!
Consistent game by the refs? Seems Wiz was called for that exact hit earlier. “Tell him he’s Wayne Gretzky.” – Oilers coach Ted Green, after Shaun Van Allen suffered a concussion and couldn’t remember who he was.
Looks like the all-star break was restful for Captain Gio; he’s been playing with all kinds of jump these last two games.
No way refs call another one on the Panthers.
Crash the crease on em Habs!
That looked like he jumped.
Looking like a boring AHL game.
Looked like Ellerby jumped into that hit, big time.
Unlike other cities battling the snow… For some reason I suspect there will be more than a 1000 at tonights game.
Nah, the clubs in Ottawa are pretty lame.
Now I know why they want Nabokov.
6-5 Detroit over Ottawa – 10 minutes left in the 3rd.
Did the goalies hit the club last night or something? This is embarrassing man!
I envy auld. He get paid 1 million dollars to: stay fit, warm up the bench on most game nights, travel around north america. goes home to a super hot business woman
and if panthers decide to sell, is there anyways we can grab either booth or weiss from them
What a snooze fest…
I’m sorry, but if they can’t convert on this PP opening the 3rd – they don’t deserve the W
From what I’ve seen, Engqvist should replace Moen and White should replace Pyatt. Size, grit, speed, and definately more offense!
This game is like watching a playoff match between the Albany Muffhawks and the Red Deer Bush Pigs….
speaking of the heritage classic, does anyone know when they are going to sell some stuff? I want a price t-shirt, damn it!
yes he did, but he was on his knees the whole time lol
Auld didn’t know where it was.
Desharnais got held about 3 times on that sequence. Definitely should have been a penalty. I don’t care if he’s small, it’s still a penalty.
Franzen with four goals tonight against Ottawa.
