• Comment on Habs' Therrien not among Jack Adams Award finalists
  It's like Marchand said against Vancouver a couple years ago. He fouled Sedin because he could. The Sens did what they did because they could. They won. They'd look at Eller out as matching Spezza out. Doesn't make it right but the NHL lets it happen.
• Comment on Subban skates with Team Canada in Sweden
  Yeah. He didn't leave much doubt.
• Comment on No medals for Team Canada or Subban at world championship
  :-) Hammerhab is sure it is the room chemistry since PK got there. Sounds like both you guys are ready for HNIC panel as ready replacements for PJ and Healey.
• Comment on Size isn't a problem with Habs, Plekanec says
  I don't think all teams retire numbers.

  Man Pleks is deadly on the big ice and with the lower level of competition.
• Comment on Habs GM Bergevin "100 per cent" behind Carey Price
  I sort of disagree, not about Price as he is everything you said, but about what will make him better. A backup like Tim Thomas will make him better for instance. Someone who can come in and has creds. A larger D will make him more effective. The Habs D is fine when you're moving the puck up ice but it is too small to keep the puck in the O zone and too small to religiously clear the D. These guys get hurt playing against bigger players. Your comment was the best I have read in awhile. People nattering on about this or that goalie as if they were the only part of the game. Just diverts from why the puck gets shot at the Montreal net from where. (They can't prevent the other team from owning the slot at either end.) The bigger you are the more coverage you have at the point which saves two steps, a second or two, and is the difference between a good shot and a blocked shot. In the D it means you can lean people out, not end up turned and looking at your goalie. People don't realize the task in front of management and the reason for that has been the steadiness of Price behind a very undersized D.

  Roy himself often refused to take credit for single handedly winning all those games but instead took partial responsibility for some of the losses. Dryden purposely wore pads and gear that were half the size of todays and you can only suspect it was to give the other guys a decent chance on long shots.
