    Well said! Yes Price should have had at least one of those goals. However, the rest of the team was not all "there". No need to point out individuals as there were enough that made little or no impact on the game to have most of the loss on their shoulders. The hit . . . it was not (I believe) a malicious. However, the principle point of contact was the head . . . end of story. Now, onward and upward to a victory tonight. CranbrookEd Mr. Beliveau: "Pure Pak mais oui"! . . .

    Well said . . . "we" don't need a lineup of fighters, but we do need more overall desire and toughness / willingness to go into the corners and front of the net . . . CranbrookEd Mr. Beliveau: "Pure Pak mais oui"! . . . What ever happened to Johnny Jelly-Bean!?

    The sun has successfully risen despite of the result last night. Yes, Price stunk, but will recover. On the first goal, while killing a penalty, Pleks never skated to take the open player. You don't have to be a fighter to use your body to dish-out a check every now and then, to keep the other team honest . . . yes Max, I am talking about you - don't just use your body after you feel "wronged", use it all of time and stand in front of the other team's net . . . did he not learn anything while watching Cole last year? Moen . . . is he hurt? Otherwise, why is he such a non-entity on every shift, game in and game out. Most everyone agrees that as a whole, the team does need to get bigger . . . but we have some fairly big guys now who don't use their size . . . so "big" alone is not the answer . . . somewhat larger with the desire/heart of Gallagher is what is needed . . . Yes, much of the lose last night can be hung around Price's neck . . . but if the forwards score no goals in a game and the team ends up with only one, that of course meant that only a shutout would have resulted in two points . . . This is a good team . . . last night was not a good team game for the HABS . . . it was a good team game for the Leaves . . . now to move onward towards winning the remaining 7 games! :) CranbrookEd Mr. Beliveau: "Pure Pak mais oui"! . . .

    Simply put, Lars Eller will become a top line centre for many years to come. While I could say it is based on his play from the last two games, the talent has been there (albeit) in flashes since he arrived. Max Pac only played 14 minutes . . . there is something missing from his game. Fine and dandy to spend the off season training (which I would expect of all of these overpaid millionaires) but he needs to use his size on each and every shift, not just when he feels that he has been "wronged" as happened on one shift in the Boston game and Max followed-up with two hits before heading off of the ice . . . Have I missed something somewhere . . . it used to be that if a player stopped skating and putting in a full effort to get to a puck before it crossed the goal line to negate an icing, then it would be waved off . . . the last couple years, it sure seems that this is no longer the case and icings are seldom waved off . . .

  • Comment on 'Funnest' game ever for Habs' Gallagher
    While bringing back the Expos is a great idea . . . it would (hopefully) also result in that big orange creature leaving the Bell Centre, which would not be such a bad idea . . . CranbrookEd Mr. Beliveau: "Pure Pak mais oui"! . . . What ever happened to Johnny Jelly-Bean!?

    . . . and who were the other HABS on the ice for that face-off? Nobody skated over to at least say something to Cooke in at least a "pretend" effort to protect/defend the team's captain? That I would suggest is the real issue . . . CranbrookEd Mr. Beliveau: "Pure Pak mais oui"! . . . What ever happened to Johnny Jelly-Bean!?
