Can you believe he’s 63?
Robert L. and Francis Bouchard have put together a tribute.
• Steven Hindle assesses Canadiens’ prospects
• Michael Whitehouse has some Carey Price stats
• Which goalies will be hurt by the new equipment rules?

How dare you state the weakness of the players we didnt get or let go?!
I see, already stacking up the pressure for Price eh? You know, just in case he can somehow handle it and has a great solid season, let’s make sure we crank up the pressure and make sure he cracks.
Imagine if the Habs had a 36-year old goalie signed for 3 more years at 5 million per year based on one good season, would we call this a genius management group? Remember when Bob Gainey was an idiot for letting Michael Ryder go, who now the Bruins are trying to rid themselves of? Horton is enigmatic, Bergeron and Savard are probably each one
concussion away from starting a Lindros-type decline in their abilities.
Tim Thomas is a boat anchor contract and Rask helped oversee the epic
3-0 collapse against PHI. The entire team was humiliated and took a
gigantic blow to their morale on that collapse as well and Julien will
have to watch his back if the Bruins don’t start strong this season. Marco Sturm could miss the entire 10-11 season as well, if not retire
with the devastating MCL/ACL tears he suffered in the post-season.
Lucic is a goon who got lucky enough to be on a contract year when the entire Boston roster was over-achieving.

Actually I think ’51 was Boob-Boom’s rookie year, and Delvecchio on the Wings. Having trouble with the other rookies though.
FREE TIMO!
until the Bruins do something to make people forget about that embarrassing meltdown things are not going to be good in Beentown.

Just read the Lucic article. He’s talking about playing with Horton and Seguin. As he said “it’s been a pretty good offseason” for the Bruins.
Makes me look at the Habs and say…it’s been a pretty mediocre-to-lousy offseason.
PK is obviously the ‘big’ addition… and Eller might make a ripple. But we also lost our biggest single difference-maker in Halak, our ‘franchise’ goalie who came off a year with a terrible record is having trouble signing his contract, we lost some good management pieces from our pipeline to a probably resurgent Tampa Bay team, our small guys didn’t get bigger, and our old guys got a year older.
So overall, a pretty sucky offseason. So much is riding on Price to make this year a good one. Too much. Way too much.

Listen to the SmartDog. He knows his poop!
Teach – I’m pretty sure that Clark never played for Colorado or ever won a Cup.
He owns a bar and does promo work for the laffs and Clublink (golf). I believe he still lives in York Region which is just north of Toronto.
Thanks for doing all this Ian. I know what a pain in the ass these things are!
Much appreciated.

If Yzerman doesn’t stop hiring (purging) from the Habs organization, there won’t be any more Francophones and the Canadiens Brass will be forced to hire non-francophones. OMG the humanity!!!
I already looked,other then moore you are much better off taking some of the guys that the habs drafted in the first round in the mid to late 90′s.
Yup,if i had a dollar for every time i heard “the habs organization needs to to scrapped from top to bottom” i could pay for the entire summit weekend for everybody myself. Yet yzerman has no problem with taking parts of it and is looking like a genious.
Ha, good one. I’m going back to the web to see if I can find out who were rookies in ’51. The team I picked were not.
FREE TIMO!
Hook, line and sinker man. You gotta lighten up. We have.
FREE TIMO!
“I can promise my comments won’t cause any controversy”
KSS, You must be a very optimistic person, some people here just live to argue & to create controversies even though they may not know what they’re talking about.
Welcome to HIO.
Ali B.
now is the goalie part of that 2 or are the nets empty?
cuz then we have a huge (no pun intended) advantage with Hall Gill lying down in the net

But it makes sense, so look forward to some 2-on-2 hockey instead…

from the rule changes the only one that is useful is the no touch icing.

Kristen–Do you want to join us for the Summit in Montreal Nov. 5,6. Last day!
Regarding the proposed rule changes, I wouldn’t mind seeing no-touch icing or a goal-verification line painted in the net, but 2-on-2 hockey is ridiculous.

He got overhyped because George Laroque let it happen. GL let Lucic run right over the Habs and a legend (in the Bruins mind) was born.
Hey guys,
Longtime reader, first-time poster. Just wanted to say that I’ve been enjoying reading this site over the last couple of years but I look forward to giving my two cents. I can promise my comments won’t cause any controversy, so no worries there.
Merci!
i don’t really think he’s overated hes does what he does very well, that is create space and scare the crap out of the other team something we could really use here in Montreal . Don’t get me wrong he’s not a superstar with an amazing scoring touch, but beleive me guys watch out for him when he’s on the ice as much as they do one of the big scorers in the league.
He tried getting The Wings caplogist sp (whatever his name was) and was turned down & then hired The Habs Julien Brisbois instead………..
yeah yeah
Missing - ”Me like Hockey” by The Arrogant Worms………
No apology is going to ERASE that most opprobrious portrait. It’s still going to EXIST; my contempt for it will not DIMINISH.
That picture is offensive, ludicrously pretentious, and more than a little yucky.
Ptui! Shame!

At this point I’m willing to bet the mortgage that Holland made some sweetheart, backdoor deal with him not to take anyone from the Wings. Jerry Maguire got more people to follow him out the door than Stevie Y has.
Funny how many here, laud Detroit’s management and loath Montreal’s, yet Stevie Y raided Montreal’s and left Detroit’s intact. What’s going on here?
I think Clark owes you an apology. NOW.
Well, we can’t have that!
Carry on..
Where’s Warren Zevon’s Hit Somebody? What an outrage!
I’m quite positive he didn’t have the leaf jersey on whether or not he won it elsewhere.
That picture is an insult to hockey, and worse, to ME.

He hasn’t been the same since Komisarek head butted his fist 20 times a few years ago….
Didn’t he win it with Colorado? Or am I mistaken?
At this point Yzerman should feel guilty enough that he throws us a high round pick for Roman Hamrlik.
I think he’s taken enough members of our organization at this point.
Some favours are owed.
You consider Price as a SIEVE. Man you are pathetic. I betcha that 29 other NHL teams would take Carey Price in a heartbeat. Think it would not happen? Are you willing to let Price go at no cost?
Makes me almost wish the redwings had been able to pull off the trade they were trying to do back in 1983. They tried desperately to move up one spot in the draft to take pat lafontaine but instead had to stand pat and take yzerman. If that trade was made,yzerman ends up an islander. Makes you wonder what kind of a career he would have had. As a player and if he even would have become a g.m..
from Jamie’s blog:

Will someone in the Habs organization please tell Yzerman to go f*** himself?! Damn, enough already!
Sunday Hockey Notes (tidbits):
There’s no real reason to be doubting Thomas
No kidding. Can’t Stevie find some people from other organizations and leave the Habs alone. Why doesn’t he go and raid his old team the Red Wings.
Does Stevie Y have a Montreal fetish or does he consider Montreal to be his arch rival? I think we’ve crossed the line in the sand here, this is becoming more than just “hiring the best people for the job.”
I’m more of the thought that would this guy just kindly **** off of hiring people who are coaching our prospects? This guy is supposed to be coaching Louis Leblanc for us in the Q this season.

I agree. I couldnt believe he was in consideration for team canada. Then again bergeron ended up being just as useless. Hes still famous from ruining komo the homo and hasnt shown that ferocity since. No one from Boston should have even been at that camp. Should have invited cam to play with crosby and iginla. Not Berger-shit.
