Canadiens coach Jacques Martin decided that rest was more important than practice and he scrubbed a scheduled workout at the University of Minnesota today. Martin said there will be some relief for tomorrow’s game against the Minnesota Wild. Defenceman Hal Gill returns to the lineup after missing two games with the flu.
Jose Theodore is scheduled to start in goal for the Wild and he’ll be looking for his first win against his former team. He’s 0-4 against Montreal. It’s expected he’ll face Alex Auld, who made 18 of 19 saves in his relief appearance of Carey Price in New York on Friday.

Win and the habs are 1 point behind the Bruins for 3rd in the confrence.
By the way, I like the new look Habs/InsideOut.
JM is out of touch with reality. Price needs to be in today after being pulled Friday night. Auld should’ve started Friday. Never liked that coach and never will. Clueless.
fuck
Canadiens have a golden chance to make up ground on Boston with a win against the Wild. Hope the boys can rebound against a tired Wild team that played the previous night.
This new layout SUCKS! I am glad that Auld is starting Sunday, hopefully the Bulldogs/Habs mixture plays a good game in front of him.
Who’s got the info on when Pleks and Halpern will return?
Well this is different, gonna take some getting used to

wanna bet?
Believe it or not, HNIC has something positive to say about PK Subban.
http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Sports/Hockey/1249236098/ID=1848856801
The clip says that PK Subban has to play his game and it does not matter if he is a rookie. ‘Respecting’ the oponent should not matter as long as he is playing legally and helping his team. It is also a contradiction to Don Cherry’s take on the Lecavalier slash saying Vinny could have injured Subban.
Never thought I’d see the day!
Great find.
Cherry is a useless tool.
Lecavalier over paid and over rated
Rob Rae for nhl commissioner.
Thanks for this.
I was at the Fighting Sioux game tonight and will be at the Habs game tomorrow. Kristo is being eased back into action. Even with limited use, he was responsible for much of the offence and is very slick with the puck. He makes nice passes and is always looking to score off the rush. Down low in the O zone and defensively: so so. He needs to get stronger.
Will need time getting use to. Very nice. Shows a great deal of planning and work went into redesigning and upgrading the former website. Bravo on a job well done.
We must get healthy!! The hell with what place we come in! Face it, we will be in 6th! Doesn’t matter! We can only be succesful if we have healthy players…
Were you guys Theodore fans when he was with the Habs? I became a fan of the team after watching him play. He was much better than any Leafs goalie I’d seen (I was a kid in the GTA). I owe it to him for making me a Habs fan. I hope he’s kind enough to help us out tomorrow and get us at least a point (though 2 would be better).
Also, is there anyway you guys could post links to some of things published here on Habs Inside/Out? The content isn’t exactly the same atm.
Yes I am still a big Theo fan, really a good person, has been through a lot with his family and media crap.
Yay! I’m glad to hear I’m not alone. While I felt bad for the goalie who got injured, I was happy to hear Theo got a job with the Wild. And I’m always happy to hear when he gets a star or shutout. Gotta agree with you about what he’s been through. He has a beautiful family who seem to be supporting him so I hope he’s enjoying his time in Minnesota.
Theo was good, when he was “fighting” Hackett for the number one position. In fact, I’d be curious to know know whether those guys ever posted better numbers while not in competition with each other…
Fan of the Habs? Yes.
Fan of Theo’s? Not really. Didn’t like his style too much but he did the job at the time.
I was a bigger fan of Hackett’s. Too bad he was pretty much nearing the end of his career then…
Whoa, this might take a little getting used to.
Need to change Habsinsideout in the rules to hockeyinsideout.
STFU. I want read about the lawsuit in Montreal Inside Out.
I see alot of people in a test mode. Is this multiple choice or essay.

I think the new site looks classy. Great job.

damn..
Danny Kristo has been a factor in both of ND’s goals as the team is tied heading into the second OT, with a goal and a helper. BTW, I am not a Kristo hater, just reporting some stats from a game I am not watching. Also, Gallagher has one assist so far tonight.
You obviously have an Habs related agenda. Am I going to get sued because I said “Habs?”
I guess that’s good RE: Kristo… Didn’t he get bad frost bite a few months ago ? In his feet/foot ?
Yes, tonight was his second game back, he picked up a goal on his first shift Friday night, I believe. Sounds like he was lucky not to lose a toe or two.
Here’s a story about what happen the night he got frost bite:http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/312786/
Glad to hear his feet have warmed up.
Are Pleks & Halpern still day to day?
They’ll have another evaluation next week and we’ll probably hear about it on either Monday or Tuesday. Both didn’t travel with the team this weekend.
I have a feeling the next stats article is going to a show a significant decline in page hits.
You know that one day Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook, Digg, and Stumble are going to merge. And that site will be everybody’s mandatory Home Page.
This new design is severely lacking.
X2
I think I miss the baby blue border the most.. and the “new” tab.
Mark C, reporting what you’re not watching? Simply bashing.
How is he bashing Halak by noting the number of goals that he’s given up, the number of shots, and that he’s been pulled? Sounds like he’s merely stating the facts.
Does Halak ever bother playing 60 minutes anymore?
The important game is the one Boston lost. Who cares what happens out west.
OMFG. There is no edit button. Hockey Inside Out my arze.
More like Hokey Pokey Upside Down. Woohoo!!!
There’s also no way to reply to a 5th comment in a thread. So stupid.
So stupid. How can we have a flame war????
Naive comment, but you have the same agenda.
Hilarious that YOU would call someone else naive.
Am I suppose to know what you’re referring to? Go troll someone else.
Some things never change.
Oh please. I added no narrative other then “yikes” when we got called with the penalty. I’m not bashing him at all, just reporting how he’s doing tonight, a lot of people here still like and follow him.
Good thing I got my waders on.
test
if we can beat the wild sunday and sabres on tues and the bruins may lose tues to the devils ..thurs game will be for a 3 point lead on the bruins(they will have 2 games in hand)
It’s too quiet, where’s Timo?
Halak 2 goals on 6 shots and a delay of game call. Yikes.
I guess that he needed more work in his 17-save shutout vs. the Kings.
Gives up another and gets the gate.
C’mon, two complete screens and a third wack at the puck. The D is non-existent.
Not even watching the game, just reporting whats taking place.
Does this thing work yet??
if pouliot scores only 1 or 2 more goals for the rest of the season and playoffs will he be resigned?…i think he is best suited as a 7-10 forward who can score 15-17 goals and get 35 points…i just dont see him having higher numbers with montreal…
I’ll look at the cup as half full. Maybe this new format will be too confusing for trolls like Jeff, Tony, etc. to figure out.
I sure hope that Ian was able to work through his sign-up and avatar problems though.
only if they are over a certain age..as people get older they do not like any change…when new systems came in at work it was the more experienced workers that complained the most.
sorry to brake in to you fella but speak for yourself! (I’m 69 and been at HIO for over 4 years now, and I’m using it as you can see). The only reason I am not using my pic (avatar) simply because I don’t like the fact that gravatar crap is apparently posting my picture elsewhere where my email address shows up.
I find that strongly against privacy principles.
PS: Cut a slack to Ian will ya!
yeah im only 26 and i can tell you that i dont like this. and i dont care for change much but usually can deal. i dont like this whole only seeing two posts (newer) and what not.
i also dont like the idea of uploading my picture to another site to use here, so i guess i wont be using a picture either
Yeah… two posts on the “new” page just means that you have to leave that page to follow the conversation. It’s a pain in the ass.
Oh geez Ian…that guy brings a good perspective. Damn it if he’s on the outside looking in. — HABS Inside/Out 4Life RIP—
I found tonight’s game with the BRUINS/LAFFS very telling for the “HABS” b/c you can see there’s a division of sorts on that roster. We are a tighter group of guys (well, for the most part) and that will go a long way to win a round, or two in the playoffs. BRUINS have roster issues that can’t be explained through statistics. I like our chances a lot if we draw them in 1st round.
on yeah…”HABS Inside/Out 4Life RIP”
Yeah, something just isn’t “right” with that team right now. All the moves that “won” them the deadline haven’t returned much value, yet.
wild lost today…we have to take advantage of their back to back games but for some reason we have tough games when we play a team that played the night before
Ahhh Finally!! Damn Gravatar, I figured your worthless butt out!! OK back to Hockey! Leafs tore em up eh!! Bruins are due for a rocky slide in the standings!!
Damn, this is space age stuff.
little comedy then go see “Paul”.
I never do movie recommendations but if you’re having a tough day (like you washed a red Habs towel with your favourite white t-shirt), you need a lift (some cheap chuckles and a few outright guffaws) and are looking for an inventive (totally ripped off
HIO: The ‘H’ stands for HABS!!!!
How about “Habbs”?
This is cool. Wonder how long it takes Mr. Know-it-all J_D to ask his son to “Make it work”?
(I post this under the sure knowledge I will be on the receivin’ end of some really nasty comeback
I suspect that J_D’s response may test the presence of a language filter on the new site.
Well lets see how this works
test w. my gravatar…again
outstanding!
Anybody know why the signature feature doesn’t work? Mine should say: HABS Inside/Out 4Life RIP

THIS SITE IS SO FRESH!!!!!!!!!
OK! Now am getting pissed!! I did the whole Gravatar thing..got the email did everything I was supposed to. Where the F is my Gravatar then!!! The hell with this site!
I thought that is WAS working. You’re a white guy who took your photo in front of a gray background, are you not?
People better stop copying my avatar
Hopefully Auld can play as well as he did in New York. He surprised the heck out of me.
I still feel Auld should have been given the rangers game oh well
Anyone know if/when there will be a morning skate? I’m going to the game and want to try to find my 11-yr-old daughter’s heart throb, Carey Price.

My “Grab-itar” works now….but I still don’t like the changes….It’s like posting on NESN
… without quite as many mouthbreathers.
Oh no, you’re right. I do have fun over there though, posting through my alter-alter ego.
Hope that there is room to improve the site:
No EDIT feature
Login is at the bottom of the page (used to be at the top)
No profile view
Now posts aren’t listed as such, either. How do I know what I haven’t read without first having to read it?
Looks like all of the old content didn’t migrate over to here. Which sucks, ’cause I didn’t get a chance to read yesterday’s About Last Night!
Leafs suck, Bruins suck, Cherry sucks… I don’t know about this new site either. Why couldn’t they just change the name and keep the graphics??
I know… at least add some colour!
How did you get your pic in there?
Go to here –> http://en.gravatar.com/ and follow the instructions.
I’m not liking the layout either. First we go to the live game blog, now this.
Ugh.. Change isn’t always good.
Haha… Cherry calling out Phaneuf for ducking Chara then fighting Horton. What a hypocrite. *coughLuciccough*
Boston’s deadline moves are sure paying huge dividends so far.
So Boston looked terrible tonight. hehe
Thomas has sucked for, like, 4 games in a row now.
Since he plays with Chara, let that streak continue until his stats fall below Price and they finish below Habs in the NE. And Rask isn’t playing any better. ha
The laffs n Gooins suck almost as much as these changes to the site.
Too little, too late bRuins. Sucks to be you.
Booins and Thomas getting hammered by the LAFFS!
Parade talk again!
Good to see your avatar back.
this website makes me wanna open a hotmail account
*nostalgia*
btw apparantly willow is a lesbian, cant wait to see how xander reacts, tune in tuesday

Spoiler alert: Tara dies, Willow has a temper.
WHAT THE F$%K???
id be fumed about it but im going to NYC this weekend, first time visiting the twin towers, w00t!
Have you seen Gladiator? This Russell Crowe guy looks like he’ll be a good actor.
nah, too busy laughing at the folks saying matrix will be better than the phantom menace

The hell? If a thread goes 5 comments I can’t even reply? BLLLLAAAAAAAMMMMM this piece of crap!
alright… HIO staff has done fxcked up son
I feel like everyone who was everyone is now a nobody. No profiles
I’m a guy. I hate change.
By the way, when I try to log in to the Gravatar thingy, I’m getting this warning:
“You do not have the permissions required to access this Web site. Please contact the Web site administrator.”
Anyone have a work-around for this?
I went to http://www.gravatar.com and I saw the page that was displayed here, try that. Then create your profile there. I guess there is a timer on when your pic displays on this site cuz I still don’t see it.
You should receive an email, there is a link. The avatar shows up automatically.
Another thing, we can’t edit our comments. I meant to say after you sign up, just click on your chosen avatar, and as long as you used the same email address as HIO, it will appear.
Tried that, sez my username is taken.
The username is only for logging into Gravatar or WordPress. It doesn’t change your username on HI/O.
Cool. Thanks for the help.
Same here..
I went to the gravatar site manually and tried that, don’t know if it’s worked or not.
Looks like that’s a big no.
Nevermind, it’s working now.
Now I see your avatar, this sucks, I did mine like 20 minutes ago!
on gravatar they have a refress button i pressed that and my “avatar” appeared.

Can’t see how long someone’s been a member?
I don’t think that we have profiles anymore. For its faults, the old site had its own look, feel, and personality. This new setup is quite… vanilla.
This question is for the Editors of this grand and wonderful site, Did Bettman have anything to do with this site? I appreciate the effort in trying to make life better for us but this Gravatar stuff is rediculous and also the format of the postings, I miss the old one! Sorry!
hrmph
Hopefully there will be some improvement over time in this website.
With all its server issues the old site was at least functional!
Been reading here for a while, so the new scheme is going to be a bit odd to get used to, but all in all, I think it’s pretty cool. I’m just curious why the whole scheme had to change just because of the name
Totally LOVE the new site! Thank you Molson, for the inspiration.
Mike Milbury calling out wee-man Bettman! Woo hoo!
Testing…
Ha. Smileys link:
Or not: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Smilies
Is this a WordPress product?
Yeah, it doesn’t have the same feel. I hope we all get used to it. I went thru the Gravitar process so I could still feel a bit like my old Habs I/O self.
The worst part is now we’ve lost the ability to see who the original crew (and newbies) are – I loved it that my profile said “member for 3 years and 2 months” where Tony’s latest profile said “member for 6 hours”
Do we even have profile’s anymore? I can access mine but I can’t click on your name or anything. So far I have to say this is pretty lame.
What I loved about the old format, exactly as you said, it wasn’t so impersonal. We knew each other and without the rich text, it leaves no room for expression. I guess we’ll get used to it? Or they’ll make some improvements in the future.
Personally I’m hoping it’s temporary while they do some massive upgrades.
This Leafs-Bruins game is great fun, once you get over the fact that the Leafs are winning. Anyway, Thomas had a poor night like Price last night. Rask just showed up his D for their screen on him, something that many blamed Price for doing last season.
What a weird feeling, for the first time in my life I hate the Bruins more than the Leafs. I can tell because it doesn’t bother me that TO is kicking someone’s a$$. Still hate HNIC though.
Since Max, Boston is Enemy Number 1.
Good call with auld, let carey regroup for the sabres and cubs coming up tuesday and thursday! Now if only JM will use all 4 lines and not bench anyone for taking bad penalties. (pouliot) what about gomez who basically makes a bad play in his zone every shift, or cammy that floated all night yesterday, or hammer who yes i understand played 30 minutes vs t-bay the night before and he’s 37 years old, but he still sucked like i’ve never seen him suck before last night…..but JM will only bench the small guys because he’s a huge jabroni……anyway’s go leafs!

Dear HIO….there has obviously been some dissatisfaction with the new site, and understandably, change often causes this type of reaction. However, can we all agree that if the changes cause a poster with the status and importance to the site that Ian Cobb has, to leave the site then perhaps we may have gone too far? I have been a member of this site since the very beginning and I’m quite comfortable with superficial changes. But, though i do not know the man at all, I understand the importance of the contributions Ian Cobb makes to this site. And of all the posters here, I feel he is one of a select few who’s importance and opinions need to hold more weight when it comes to feedback on how things are run.
I beg the good people of HIO to take this into account and make the necessary changes required to ensure we do not lose any of the great contributors to this site
What happened to Ian?? Did I miss something?
like many, he doesn’t like the site.
Ur avatar is awesome
unfortunately it seems the changes here were too frustrating for him and he claims he’s done on this site. we will see if he sticks to that or adjusts, but for me?……Habsinsideout without Ian Cobb is not habsinsideout.
