  I can actually see Matt while reading your post.

  I guess it comes down to who you want to play. If it's me, I rest four or five guys and win or lose, hope we play the Leafs. The Isles with JT scare me, and Ottawa with Karlsson back in the lineup, are a much more talented team than the Leafs. Also, Reimer has no playoff experience.

  I like him as well. Just seemed odd for MT to insert him in place of the surprisingly good Kaberle. I smell a trade. Hope he's not hurt too bad.

  Was Webber being showcased tonight? If so, he didn't exactly impress. Injured as well.

  I think you're missing the point. I did not see the scrap last night, but if Scott took a run at a Florida player, are you suggesting it would be better to have no response at all? Would it be OK for Scott to take several subsequent runs at Florida players with impunity? Two nights ago Dion Phaneuf took at least three hellacious runs at our skilled players. The worst one on Gallagher at our blue line. Thankfully we have a character guy in Prust who challenged the coward, and in so doing, sent a message that it's unacceptable to run our smaller players. But we cannot let Prust (Middleweight) do it alone. We need guys ,like a Parros for example, who we can insert into the lineup when playing teams like Toronto, Boston, Philly etc. Otherwise I fear some of our skilled guys are going to get hurt.

  I don't think the Habs history of cups will back up your opinion. In our better days, we always had a stable of policemen who we could insert in our line-up when facing truculent oponents. If not, it opens up the possibility of Guys like Orr taking runs at our smaller players. Did you enjoy seeing Orr "clock" Bourque? How about Georges fighting a goon like McClaren? How many scraps do you want to see Gallagher in, giving away 30 pounds? Is it worth it to protect Chucky? Look at our history. Ferguson played on the wing with big Jean for a reason. Lupien, Bouchard and Chartraw were always dressed when playing Boston and Philly in the 70's. Same with Kordic in the 80's. Would a guy like McGratten or Parros be less productive than Armstrong or Moen?
• Comment on Gallagher skates, but won't face Islanders
  Ha, thanks for that. My first thought was Big John Ferguson, our greatest policeman ever. Yes, Erskine would fit the bill as well, but I think Parros is more available.
