Head coach Jacques Martin said, “without pointing fingers, an issue in the loss to the Islanders was the number of scoring chances the Cnaadiens allowed.
“In the 13 or so games since Pittsburgh,” the coach added, “we kept scoring chances under 12.”
That wasn’t the case on Long Island.
And the Canadiens will have to tighten up against the red-hot Rangers.

Attended the Bulldogs game but not much to say about them.
- 4 players made an impression, worked hard and exhibited good skills (Leblanc, Avtsin, DiSimone and Blunden, in that order)
- the rest were pretty well ho hum
- The team has no defence to speak of and only one D man who can actually move the puck up ice (Callahan)
- goaltender Lawson played a Halakian game (in that he allowed almost every shot to rebound straight out to the front of the net)
- honourable mention to Alex Henry for hanging in the game this long (though he will never, ever get to the Habs…ever)
- plain to see that the Habs have drained that tank for now
I attended the game with Andrew Berkshire and expect he can give us a more complete view.
***Subbang Baby!!!***
Sucks that Markov’s return is still delayed. What annoys me is how the organization was saying they knew all along he wouldn’t start the season. Oh yeah? and you knew he wouldn’t play in November too? Admit it, you had no idea when Markov would be ready when you resigned him. Hope this contract doesn’t blow up in our face.

I’m pretty confident that the HIO Occupiers rarely watch other regular season NHL games other than Hab games. They have zero idea how others teams win or lose from game to game. All they measure is how the Habs do against their last opponent and base opinions on the next game and the season. The Non-Occupiers and those that make a career of studying the NHL as a whole have a much better perspective. Knowledge is power……Ignorance is, well, ignorant. Anyone who is only willing to see one side based on their biases is short changing themselves and their team. There is a forest behind that tree and yes there is a noise. Open your eyes and look beyond your biases and you may appreciate your team much more learning that the pluses and minuses are never as big as you may feel.

I found a trade that could work for all teams involved. Edmonton trades Ales Hemsky and his 4.1m contract to LA. LA ships D Penner and his 4.25m contract to MTL. Scott Gomez and Yannick Weber, D. Dietz to Edmonton, A. Avstin and a 2nd rd this year to LA.
LA could throw a Brandon Kozun to Edm. Mtl would end up with D. Penner and possibly Linus Omark or a terrible contract in Gilbert Brule in return.

No! D.Dietz is an untouchable.

No thanks, just send Gomez down. Penner stinks, I wouldn’t trade Weber for him straight up.
I could use harsher words for Penner.

Can you imagine the outrage HIO would unleash on Penner after two weeks?
I’ve got to work two jobs to make ends meet. Here is this talent and he shuts it down after his big payday. Lazy piece of shit! Life is not fair!

But Penner’s wife (ex-Mrs.Richard Zednick) is from Montreal so it would be a good fit……..lol

Had the Habs come back to tie, really a few great saves by Dipietro from that happening at the end, all the talk would be what a great comeback we had.
The team isn’t that great right now – but for those complaining about management – the team we have on the ice is not the team management put together for us this season. They put together a team that was to include Markov, Campoli, Spacek, Big Tits, White and Gill. None of those guys skated last night.
If we had them all back, totally different team. And a good one.
Gomez is lost. He is trying hard but gripping the stick and he feels the pressure. He cares a lot and is trying – but he really does suck right now.
I for one, am not counting on Markov to save the day. A guy unfit to play the last 2 years and unfit to handle any contact right now – will not save the day for this team.
Martin, for all the bashing he takes, is a winner. Top 10 wins all time of NHL coaches. He brought us to a place where 3 teams were standing 2 years ago and a game 7 from the eventual champions last year. I don’t think we would have won the cup last year had Chara’s size 21 skate not accidentally blocked a shot in OT…. but who knows.
This is what I know for sure: Martin knows a hell of a lot more of now to coach this team that you bozos.
Go Habs.

Pfffft. He hasn’t even won a Conference Final.
I don’t understand how you can believe if the Habs had all the injured guys back, the Habs and Martin would be a good team? The Habs had all those injured guys (with the exception of Markov) last year. Out first round.!?!?!
Actually we were without Gorges and Pacioretty.
I can’t reply (phone) to you directly HfinL, but I wouldn’t put Gomer at centre. He goes in on the left and stays there. LW all the way.
So im not crazy in thinking eller is getting screwed.
I love dooey (desharnais), and nothing to take away from him but if eller played with the gus dooey has, eller wouldnt disappoint. I just hope JM doesnt destroy him or turn him into some careeer 3rd liner. He has a tonne of skill (look at that snipe against boston on home ice this year, and is
Strong on the puck in the corners qith good hands)
The reality is gomez isnt going anywhere via trade, buyout, minors or demotion to 4th line. He looks so good at being bad and ineffective. Gain the zone great. Bust back to the bench and change.
So if thats the case throw
Doeey on the wing and role pleks, eller and gomeZ down the middle.
An figures ak gets injured s he and his line are carrying the team with moen n eller
“I love dooey (desharnais), and nothing to take away from him but if eller played with the gus dooey has, eller wouldnt disappoint. ”
I think you will find a lot of agreement. This is a point that many including Mike Boone have made.
And while Eller seems like a trooper and will play where he is told, he is much more of a natural Center than Desharnais, and if you had to move one of them to the wing it should be Desharnais…unless you were putting Eller on wing on the #1 line.
I think that Eller has the potential to be an assist monster, probably never a big goal scorer himself.
I would like to see this line deployed when healthy

I’m praying for poetic justice here… it’ll come.
————————————-
Listen to the Smart Dog. He knows his poop!
I wasn’t that upset with the game last night. I think with Diaz, Emelin, Weber, and St. Denis as four of your D-corps, you’re bound to have some defensive hiccups, and that’s exactly what happened. Factor in that Subban has been inconsistent this year, and that Gorges’s heart makes us somewhat overrate his defensive skills. Budaj was not stellar either, though I am not faulting him, given the AHL squad defending him.
Habs could’ve won with a little luck actually. Tomorrow will be a bigger test.
Full Breezer 4 Life
I agree, a quick look at the standings tells you that the league really is approaching the dreaded “P” word. If JM was losing consistently with a full roster I’d believe the HIO hype, but he and the team are competing consistently with a rotating top six and a very young D corps. Our Alaskan Albatross notwithstanding, things aren’t looking so bad.
http://www.xkcd.com/904/
Agreed Bill. And what I liked most was that there was no quit in the team at all. Fought until the final whistle…
I still can’t explain why Gomez was out as the extra attacker though…

Poll.
RDS saying the coach said no Markov till atleast there western trip to California. So 6-7 minimum more games, probably longer.
Who will make there season debut first. Markov or Crosby?
And whos more likely to get re-injured first. Or finish there career. Can we honestly believe that with the length of the time of these injuries a 24 year old will play another 10-15 years?
I’m not sure who will be back first, but I don’t think either of them will play more than a season or two more.
I hope I’m proven wrong, because the league is better with both of them in it.
Looking forward to tonight! I’ll be in around 9:45 or 10. Have I said that already?
It’s an age thing Matty. I do it all the time.
***Subbang Baby!!!***
Can someone help me rationalize the following:
- The PP which is usually an asset has been in the bottom quarter of the league for how long, but JM refuses to change anything (i.e., pleks on point, subban on first wave, eller any time at all)
-why does eller always get the shaft, at thia rate if the poor guy doesnt raise his voice, he’ll end up in hamilton it seems if it were up to JM
I truly believe Eller is one of our best all around players, when ha he gotten to play centre and with skilled wingers for morethan a period. Look how effective he is when the moen and kostitsyn combination is in effect. No other player has made a line as offensively effective woth moen, dating back to last year whenthey played together
Ultimately the players have to play, but honestly, we have the makings of a solid hckey team, but for me it seems JM just has no clue how to arrange his talen. Hes stuck in his ways and lacks any creativity offensively.
The only conclusion I can draw is that Eller dated Jacqueline Martin, the lovely twin sister of our beloved coach and promised to call her afterwards… and DIDN’T!
“Et le but!”
Another possibility is that Jacques Martin and Lars Eller went for dinner and a movie, but Eller didn’t call him the next day.
Another possibility: Jacques and Jacqueline Martin have an eerie resemblance and have never been seen in public together….
That could be quite the rude awakening , and lead to one melancholy Dane
“Et le but!”
Wow. The Habs’s version of The Crying Game….
Something is rotten in the State Of Canadiens, so he waxes desperate with imagination……

Anyone have any thoughts on what’s up with Darche? Not that he’s a major talent, but he’s not the same player he was last year (remember the PHD line). Maybe he never bounced back from the abdominal surgery he had over the summer. Just wonderin’.
Last season he was getting time on the first two lines due to injuries. This season we have more forward depth.
Is there anyone at Hurleys yet? Just got in town, slinging back a pint at Sir Winston Churchill,
No Markov till Dec, if the 1st week that is great news.

Someone should check out the Salary Cap first.
can someone tell me why it would not have been smarter to put markov on the LTIR and save the cap space , mabe the same with campoli
thanks
You don’t save cap space by players being on LTIR. At season’s end and during the season, you are allowed to exceed the Salary Cap “by the salary of the player designated to replace” the player on LTIR. All players count against the Salary Cap.
i always thought you did , i thought thats what happened with schenn in philly at the start of the season
http://www.nhlpa.com/docs/about-us/nhl_nhlpa_2005_cba.pdf
page 226 onward especially 230-231
I guess because Markov was supposed to start the season?
Were they going to go out and sign a $5 mill player to take Markov’s place until he returns? Then have to try and trade him or send the player down to the minors when Markov returns to fit under the cap?
that makes sense , but the guy above says you dont save the space , guess i have to go to check
I saw some chatter below about Mike Milbury so I decided to sound off a bit.
That HNIC crew on Saturday nights is Godawful!
PJ Stock might not be a bad guy but he isn’t made for television or radio. He’s awkward, fumbles for words constantly and he may on a rare occasion say something insightful. However, the majority of time he’s reaching real bad and the other jerks on the show have to refrain from rolling their eyes, as do the thousands of viewers at home.
Mike Milbury is a pierce of trash. He does nothing but insult and call people names that don’t fit his “macho” prototype. HE acts tough and talks down to people that don’t agree with him on the air. He did it to Pat Hickey on NESN, and he does it to the other reporters on CBC. That schtick might work for Don Cherry cuz the players have always like him but I’m sure most players think Milbury is an ass! I’m really surprised something hasn’t blown up on the air with somebody clocking him in the face.
Kelly Hrudey is a nice guy. He knows the game far more than any of us here ever will. But his spacey, good hearted attitude doesn’t float when he’s sitting there a group assholes who are dumb themselves. Mainly Stock and Milbury.
And finally there’s Ron MacLean. This guy has become so accustomed to covering Don Cherry’s tracks that he is actually sounding like he believes half the crap that comes out his and Don’s mouth. He is extremely smart and you have to wonder how he has allowed Saturday night to come to this?
It is seriously time for CBC to shuffle the deck.
The only things CBC should have ever held onto were the song, Dave Hodge and the Peter Puck cartoons…
http://www.xkcd.com/904/
One day Dave Hodge predicted the future of HNIC by throwing his pen up and saying “…and that’s the way things go these days in sports and on this network…Good Night from HNIC”. CBC let him go and lost a talent who actually understood there is more to an intermission than talking to paid hockey people. Today CBC is consumed with talking about what CBC staff think or believe rather than what is occurring. It is natural that the hockey department would reflect that mindset.
Personally I think Milbury is being groomed to replace Cherry when he retires or dies off…really, who better? Replacing one cantankerous a-hole with another cantankerous a-hole is a no brainer for the CBC I guess…
But yeah, your post is spot on.

Its about that time when the armchair GMs put their “move everybody cards” out on the table. Fair enough….. here’s mine ;P
Replace either the coach, GM, or both so that their strategies are on the same page. What I see is the man upstairs building a team for speed and offense when the guy downstairs is calling a more conservative and collapsing strategy which requires size and grit. If you’re gonna play JM’s game you have to give him the right tools. Guys Like Cammalleri drown in these systems.
I’d like to see what Hartley could do with this team but if we’re gonna stick with JM, we gotta build from the back to front. As much as it breaks my heart, Cammalleri, Kostitsyn and Gionta would have other GMs drooling and ready to give up a lot. This is when you can start dreaming about Shea Webers or whatever big guy with some skill your heart desires. These guys aren’t going to pot as many goals as their pay grade demands unless the system changes….. you see the catch 22 here.
IMO Gomez can go to Hamilton and if someone picks him up off waivers then even better, in fact, thank you. Eller needs more exposure and ice time if he’s ever gonna have a chance to grow into the player we were lead to believe he”ll be by management and scouts. DD has been doing great centering our two power forwards When white comes back our 4th line is set. So why keep Gomez around eating up valuable cap space?
Just a thought
“When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro”, Hunter S. Thompson.
Very well said. The problem is coming from upstairs! Great analysis!
Don’t understand the love by some folks for Hartley…less qualified then the one we have now IMHO!! And I have never been impressed with Martin’s coaching style from even pre Hab days. Terrible situation when “je parle” is the Number One qualifier!!
Martin might not be perfect but he isn’t the one trying to build the Montreal Red Wings without Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Lidstrom.
This Habs team could be right there with some added muscle, which he failed to acquire over the summer. Even with the Gomez mess, a few gritty players spread around on offense and on the back end could increase our odds of going further in the playoffs.
Gauthier has to go.
My point was concerning Hartley. As for who coach’s and manage’s the Canadiens, Geoff and the other board members have not given me a vote…yet
martin system as to go, he dont like rookies, he dont like players with size, along with some brutal PG signing, this team is soft and needs to re model itself, we are not a contender and wont be for a while, as long as those two guys run da show forget it, they had a allstar team in ottawa and couldnt win , so theres no chance here, over aand out, and remember stay classy montreal
Much has been said about Gionta’s captaincy. I wonder what would the result have been if the players had the right to elect their leader? God forbid in this archaic conservative organization! Electing your leader – now that’s radical stuff.
Food for thought, would actually be interesting to see. Did it twice in peewee…From the Habs website.
Third-string goalies: When the Islanders’ Evgeni Nabokov went down in the first period of Thursday’s game and was replaced by Rick DiPietro, the question came up of what actually happens if both goalies get injured in the same game? The answer: you dress a regular skater who’s already in the lineup and toss them between the pipes.
“Hal Gill basically plays in net during the penalty kill anyways, so he would probably be a good choice, too,” pointed out Tomas Plekanec when it was brought to his attention that Carey Price had nominated the Czech pivot as the team’s third-string goalie should the scenario ever arise. “I only played in nets a little bit, but only when I was a kid. I really liked it actually. I was always ready to get the pads on so I could go play goalie. I don’t think that would be the case any more though…”
Probably best for everyone involved that Plekanec opted to focus his efforts on offense considering he’s leading the team with 18 points, including four in his last two games.
I just discovered a way to get rid of Scott Gomez
From November 7/11 HIO:
———————————————————
Gomez was clearly delighted to be back in the room with his teammates, saying “it’s terrible skating by yourself.”
As the speculation on his place in the Canadiens’ crowded depth chart at centre, Gomez said: “They tell you where to play, that’s where you play.”
With a grinning Carey Price within earshot, Gomez added: “Except goalie … I’d quit right away.”

Amen on Milbury…I don’t dislike many people or like to judge, since like you say, we have all done some boneheaded things in our lives.

The second he opens his mouth I feel like reaching through the TV and simply guoging his eyes out, hanging him upside down and lighting him on fire. I really….you get the point.
JM needs a drug test!! What the hell is he doing??? I think hes trying to piss off the upper management. I don’t see his logic..
Word is JM walks off with $1M if he gets fired…. hmmm… maybe it all makes sense now!
he makes more to stick around… so… probably not

good on alex henry, i hope he makes the team one day.
He’s got a good attitude and the feel good portion of one’s brain hopes he makes it, but objectively speaking, he is a career AHL guy and there are reasons he hasn’t cracked an NHL line up. There’s a ton of guys who bring what Alex Henry does and are better skaters and move the puck better, even at a size comparable to his.
But why Darche then?
Randy for HC!
OH !!! TOUCHE!! LOL!
My points are specifically directed towards Alex Henry. I can’t comment on what management feels about Darche.
That’s fine, I just felt that if you replace Alex Henry with Mathieu Darche in your last post, the argument still holds.
Randy for HC!
Darche is a significantly better player than Henry. HIO really doesn’t grasp how bad Henry is.

A few questions/comments:
(1) Could someone explain to me the status of AK46? At one point he was day to day now he is not even mentioned as a scratch. Has he been placed on IR?
(2). I watched Gomez last night. I know he is trying for the most part but his skill set is truly regressing. He is no longer a threat in the offensive end. He game is blueline to blueline which yields zero results.. He is not contributing aside I guess from being a good teammate. Gainey and PG have assembled a fair to midland team with an outside chance of making the playoffs. We can no longer afford to carry a $7.5mm cap hit that yields no production. I think any true hockey expert (I am not claiming to be one but I do play) would have to concede that Gomez is hurting this team.
If I am PG I am writing off this year. I ship Gomez out. I move Eller to center with AK 46 and Pulushai. I play White on the fourth with Nikolain (15) and darche. I keep the top two as they are. I play the young guys to see if they have anything. I live with mistake of ur young defensive corp.
This band aid , short term approach that Gainey and PG have employed does not work. If they had a long term view they might not have Given away or let go of many players such as Moore, D’Agostini, Riberio, , etc. This does not even include the draft choices we gave up for short term fixes. PG has discernible plan. If he does could someone please explain it.

AK was placed on IR last week. No one knows for sure if it’s a groin, hip or knee injury but it seems to be below the waist. Some reports say he might need an operation…would definitely suck to lose him for 3 months.

Your experience as a someone who has played a lot of hockey is not valued on this site. Please go and research obscure stats instead.
LooooooL
On Kostitsyn: He was ruled out back on Monday for the games this week. No timetable on his return at this point. Hopefully soon.
On Gomez: I truly did have hope that he would rebound this season, that last year was some abomination where everything could go wrong did, and that we’d see him produce at a marginally higher clip than last year. For a time on Wednesday night, he was tied with Price in points. It is clear that he just does not have what it takes. With that salary, however, I think he is untradeable–not “they’ll never trade Mike Richards, too much term” untradeable but more like “Rick DiPietro and Scott Gomez are absolutely untradeable” untradeable–and the Habs will have to either grit their teeth and buy him out after the year or demote him to Hamilton. They *might* be able to find some team desperate to hit the cap floor in the future when his salary drops, but for at least the remainder of 11-12 we are stuck with the albatross.
On PG/BG and band-aids – last year’s nightmare back at the blueline necessitated a couple quick fixes. Without Markov and Gorges, the corps was decimated – they were fortunate to land Wisniewski for the balance of the season, but that’s all they were ever going to get with him. A guy that was on his fourth team in 5 NHL campaigns wanted big dollars and big term, and with the future of the team in the Three P’s (Price, Pacioretty, and PK) they couldn’t make that commitment. The guys you mentioned–outside of Ribeiro–are fringe NHL players and easily replaceable parts – they did not fit in the team’s long-term plans and the team has found players that it thinks will be better full-time NHL’ers than them. Yes, losing Ribeiro for Janne Niniimaa sucks, but Mickey Ribs had to go. Look at it this way: we got Pacioretty and Gorges for Craig Rivet – things balance out over time.
This team does have a long-term plan that is discernible if you step back and have the ability to see the forest for the trees. A lot of people, many of them who post regularly on this site, conflate tactics for strategy when it comes to personnel moves and decision making by the Canadiens. Those same people who were so livid that the Habs drafted Carey Price and not Gilbert Brule because we had Jose Theodore and Yann Danis are the people that complain about not re-signing Paul Mara or trading Max Lapierre. People don’t realize that in order to capture a bishop, sometimes you have to let a pawn go, and heaven forbid if the pawn scores 20 goals on a massively offensively challenged team while finally getting the top line minutes he felt he was entitled to at age 20 despite proving nothing.
The point is that just because the organization’s objectives aren’t plainly laid out for all to see and analyze doesn’t mean that such a blueprint does not exist.

I think you meant the 4Ps (PLEKANEC, Price, Pacioretty, and PK)
He only turned 29 two and a half weeks ago, so I think he has a few good years left. He is also the type of player and type of skillset that does not tend to fall off precipitously.
I will grant you that a goalie can have impact beyond any other player and that Price is a top 5 NHL goalie.
I will grant you that PK is an elite talent, and would lay even money that he wins a Norris one day.
Pacioretty has lots of appeal and upside, but I have yet to annoint him as the second coming of John LeClair (let’s not trade him this time). He could be the second coming of Brian Savage. And as Sean Bonjovi is known to say “Andrei Kostitsyn is a better hockey player than Max Pacioretty”
Leave Plekanec off the list? I mean his freaking name starts with a P for Keeeriiist’s sake
“Et le but!”
Pleks is already locked up to a long-term deal – the other three P’s are not and will command some bucks.

If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. Then give up. No sense being a damned fool about it. (Or successful for that matter.)
Francois Gagnon says today on TSN radio that the canadiens need to trade PK subban if the habs want to solve their 1st line centre crisis.
I don’t know what good comes of that, but to even start the rumour of that and the team/subban catching wind will do nothing but discourage them. These french reporters/media do nothing but ruin the montreal canadiens,,,,then they wonder why no one wants to play here and the canadiens haven’t been successful since 93′
Smarten up Francois. PK is the future along with Price.
You can’t blame him for being absolutely right. What else would teams want besides PK, Price and Pacioretty? He’s not implying they should trade him but that teams would inquire about him first. Duh..

Michel Bergeron brought up a trade of Subban for Eric Staal on AntiChambre show & then others added to the trade to make it Price/Subban for Staal/Ward…….
Lol, no thanks!
———————————————————-
It’s P.K. Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime
absolutely ridiculous.
I saw that AC last night, it was more a joke then anything as they set it up all episode till BERGERON made his statement then they said they had no more time. Laughed my head off as Bergy said “but I have no time to explain’ as they signed off.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Kiss my hAbSS!!!
TSN990 took it seriously enough to talk about it as a possible trade but then it is talk radio……
The subtleties of humor can go over the heads. I knew something was up when at the start of the show and throughout they claimed Bergy had a stroke of genius and would divulge it later on, only to cut him off. Bergy truly shocked me initially with his trade suggestion but I realized the joke when he said I have no time to explain. He had excellent timing. Really laughed so hard I choked.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Kiss my hAbSS!!!
Now Bob Mackenzie & Darren Dreger were discussing the possiblity of trading Subban etc…..
Some of us are safely logged into the NOVATEL hotel. Others have to wait until Binghampton hockey players check out at 3 PM. My room looks like a luggage depot.
I am looking for a miraculous turn around from what I watched on TV last night against the Islanders.We scored enough to win, but just gave it away.
I would finally love to see a Gomez breakout against his old team. It’s time!
Cheers, Fred! Say hi to the gang for me, and we’ll see you tomorrow!
Done Deal!
Any word on Kostitsyn? Definitely could use him out there on the PP instead of Gomez
Placed on IR, might need operation, and if so out till after Christmas probably til mid Jan-Feb. Only assuming..Groin operations take a long time to heal (see White)

About to fly out of DC up to Montreal with my 16 year old for the Summit. Last Montreal game I saw in person was at the Forum. Looking forward to being back in Montreal, hope I can still find my way around downtown. See the rest of the Summiteers at the Bell Center tomorrow morning, or at Baton Rouge. I’m assuming I can bring my son into Hurleys after the game on Saturday (I’ll keep a close eye on him for sure!)
negative
a 16 year old will not be able to get into a crescent street pub on a saturday night im afraid
Damn, wonder where I could stash him for a few hours
stuff him in the hotel room and just give him the key to the mini-bar
We’re staying in DDO with friends. Well this sucks.
When I was 16, Chez Cherie was a popular spot…Mom.
you could TRY but… saturday night… i just dont see it happening
Well Chorske had his baby kicked out of Ye Olde Orchard last year.

It seems not right that I can leave him unsupervised in downtown Montreal on a Saturday night, but I can’t bring him into a bar (with me). Too late to leave him home, it’s his 16th birthday present. Damn.

Impose and have your DDO friends come pick him up after the game, then have them come back after four to bail you out. LOL

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Your boy shouldn’t have any problems. I would take the chance.
like i said, try, and yes, on certain nights and during the day, especially in summer on the terrace, its do-able
but on a cold saturday night on crescent… im quite confident im not wrong
being said i certainly dont mind if i am wrong, for rudy’s sake

16 yr old won’t get into Hurley’s but if he looks old enough he’ll have no trouble getting into most strip clubs.

Funny how the issue is NEVER the coaching job behind the bench. Not once.

True. But the players are expected to fess up on their bad games, while the coach is supposed to always pretend to do correctly, weird standards.
Randy for HC!
i believe the expression is, sh[t rolls downhill
You would bitch even if the Habs went 82-0 and followed it up with a 16-0 performance in the playoffs. Keep it real, Timo.
I was watching Gomez last night. Its not like he’s not getting chances or chances to setup. He’s just not thinking or he’s over thinking! Some of his errant passes are just awful. Several times behind the net not pressured he’s making passes to nobody. Yesterday twice in the last minute or so he skates the puck in brilliantly then makes cross passes to nobody! I really think its in his head! He is skilled! You can see it. But its almost like his skill isn’t where his heads at!
it happens to the best of them. I don’t classify Gomez in that class. I remember Flower (Guy) from way back. The first three years you saw him has a young player and you can see that he was going to blossom at any time. Than of course there were the prime years. In the end his confidence was shattered and of course on the decline. Gomez is on the decline and has you mentioned there is a disconnect to what his hands want to do and what his head tells him to do. I saw the same in Guy when Lemaire was coaching the habs, sad it was!
Everyone’s feelin’ a bit punchy here today!
Good. Takes my mind off my 8-month old smacking her face this morning and bleeding and screaming all over the goddamn place.
It was my stupid fault too.

Yes, he sucked. Why did we not keep Auld? Also I had read on this site how great Emelin did vs. Carolina so I “Lazer in” on Emelin but should have used a transporter beam and sent him to Hamilton. He look lost out there last night and unless he hit someone in the 1st period he did not stand anyone up in the last 2. Now I’ll be watching the Rangers game (again thanks to MSG) and again watching his game to see if last night was an off night or if it’s going to be a normal night and then make up my mind on him.
Mr. Biter
Cross-eyed idiot: awhile back in a rant about how the Habs brass is jettisoning guys I was talking in general about a recent history, though the kick-off was Martin and my thoughts about him (SK, O’Byrne, etc.). Because I mentioned Higgins and Grabovsky as guys who are doing well now that he Habs could have you seemed to think that’s somehow a big gaff. Well, whatever dude… I’m glad you think it’s so funny, it seems to be all you can talk about. But go back and read it in context, or at least find something else to get your jollies on. Really dude, grow up a little.

you specifically included higgins and grabovsky in a list of players that JM botched, there was ZERO context. I wasnt the only one that pointed it out.
do I care that you got your wires crossed? nope, we all have that happen to us, what I am having fun with is your inability to simply say “oops my bad”, the fact that it gets you goin only makes my friday that much more manageable.
i apologize if i gravitate towards people lacking in the self reflection area, but by all means, get back to the 5 stupid questions good sir!
My God, what is this eternal love for Higgins. He sucks. Since he left the habs 148 games 27 goals 28 assists for an incredaable total of 55 points and a +/- of -9. Yes he will take us to the promised land.
Mr. Biter
agreed but so not the point
mofo, no disrestect to your post as I was responding to the post started by smart dog about losing Higgins who has done nothing since he left here and his name keeps coming up as a bad move by PG (who has done his share but not in this case).
Mr. Biter
oh no worries, im just a dude with a keyboard
haha, mofo, you continue to be my favorite poster on here. big up son.
Anyone tired of watching 500 hockey yet? Win one lose two or three! Disgusting considering the money these guys are being paid to play hockey…and boring at that. When are we going to see a management and coaching change? These guys are simply not being managed properly. It would appear that most of these players have been drafted to play offence and many would be darned good at it if given the chance. I know the fans would love it! But…here we are looking at boring defensive hockey. I personally can’t wait for Markov to come back forcing management to shuffle the deck to accomodate him under the salary cap. Maybe…just maybe we can finally get rid of Gomer. Ya baby!
“Win one, lose two or three” ain’t .500 hockey.
Ok then its .250 hockey. My calculator is broken. Still disgusting though.
accommodate him under the salary cap?
thats already being done

Probably for the best since it’s beyond a moot point. Wiz was never going to get the contract and term he received from the Jackets, from the Habs.

HE got $5.5 from the jackets which is less than we gave AM and as I have posted numerous times ,Younger, Stronger,Grittier and has gone through the leg injuries. Again nothing against AM but you don’t give that much for someone who has had 2 leg injuries in 2 years and we have no idea if or now when he comes back and how he plays and how long he stays healthy. Souray, Schneider, Lang, Tanguay and even Komo all had season ending leg and were not re-signed and the next year or since then (except Tanguay) sucked the following year.
Mr. Biter
I’m not one to preach doom and gloom. I’m a rather positive person. I have very little interest in hockey stats beside Ws and Ls (hell the whole OT loss thing still has me baffled). I enjoyed playing in my youth and love watching the game and my favourite team. I view the whole Habs thing as a pastime, entertainment and pretty well what I thought of it as a kid…a game. Nothing more, nothing less. So predictions and foretelling the future just strike me as so much guess work. Oh, the stats tell a story, provide a basis and history certainly though even predictions based on stats contain a healthy dose of personal prejudice and big gulp of guesswork.
Case in point, some predictions espoused as statements of fact that have been seized upon by the HI/O commentariat over the years:
- Price was brought up too soon
- We traded the wrong goalie
- Pleks is too soft and will never shine in the NHL
- Pacioretty will never be a power forward in the NHL. Not tough or talented enough.
- Kostitsyn is a draft bust and will never perform well
- PK Subban is not ready for the NHL
- Gorges is too small and doesn’t have the skills required to be a top D man
- Spacek is too old and slow to play in the NHL
- Gill is too old and slow to play in the NHL
- Eric Cole is too old and hasn’t performed well since his neck injury
- DD is too small for the NHL
- Lars Eller will never be a top flight forward
(I’m sure I’ve missed a few and feel free to add your own personal favourite)
Lots of quotes to be found about predictions (predictions are for gypsies, predictions are for fools, etc). I suppose the world could end December 12, 2012 or that many Nostradamus predictions could be explained or that biblical predictions and prophecies could happen. Maybe, but I kind of doubt it all. Too many variables, too many influences, too many unknowns.
All this to say that these types of predictions about a game and its participants are nothing more or less than opinions. And our track record on HI/O is likely no more or less accurate than any other sports site or media outlet. After all it’s just a game. Let’s just enjoy it and be respectful of each others opinions.

Is there going to be any of our d back in for the rangers tomorrow
well Gomez has disapointed since his return , how much longer can he get a free ride , we may not have better players to do the job , but they can find just as bad players for a lot less money , why can edmonton and the rangers dump players in the minors and still sign free agent , and in montreal , we are disrepecting the players if we do it , it at the point where players must be saying i dont want to go to montreal cause they may end up playing with Gomer , or have him play more minutes even if he sucks ,
does anyone know if markov is still skating with out any pain ,
thanks
It is hard to tell because you don’t structure your thoughts in sentances, but I think you are stating that players probably don’t want to play with him.
I wonder how the players on the team really feel about Gomez?

I believe it drew fewer gasps of horror than guffaws at the ludicrousness of the deal from Edmonton’s point of view. As a Habs fan I’d do that deal so fast that, if Einstein is correct, I would temporarily halt time.
Full Breezer 4 Life
You would not be able to halt time… to do so, you would have to do the deal faster than the speed of light which would increase your mass to infinite (not sure what this will do, but it doesn’t sound good – like the universe collapsing on itself bad).
I think what you ment to say was you would do the deal so fast that you would appeared to have temporarily stopped your time as observed by those around you (as those around you would still be travelling through time at their own pace)…
At least this is my understanding of the subject.
Another ad hominem argument.
The Habs record is 8-8-3. Which still looks like 500 but really is 3 games below. What’s there to get straight? Their 7-3-1 record if you want to cherry pick is in the past eleven games and is on the back of a 4 game win streak. In the past 10 games they are 6-3-1.
Let’s see where the team is at in their past 10 when the 4 game win streak no longer factors into the equation.
The Habs next two opponents are currently on 7 game winning streaks. Should be interesting.
