  • Comment on Game 6: Brodeur does it to Habs again

    well Montreal needs to work on the powerplay and start this before Markov comes back so it doesnt put too much pressure on him.

     

    read this article on habsindepth about the power play

  • Comment on Audio: Hamrlik returns for home opener

    Yeah you are so right about that.  I had a chance to follow the training camp and he looked good to me during the rookie camp so I am sure with some experience of NA hockey in smaller rinks, he will be an awesome player to watch.  Patience is the key :-)

    Congrats.  It is surely fun when you get to write your own opinions or represent a certain team doing something for them.  Recently I have also been involved in working for www.habsindepth.com and write few articles there and I must say it has been challenging and fun at same time.  Given the opportunity to talk about Habs is awesome. I never had a chance to follow OHL hockey but I have heard from many people that it is as fun as any other hockey, if you love the sport.  So Wish you all the best.

    funny how on your team, Darche has no room while he has been one of their best forwards.  Even tonight he played great with two perfect passes to Plekanec and Eller.

  • Comment on Backup goalie possibilities for Habs

    I don't understand what is the need to bash Halak and compare Price and Halak.  WE all know they are two good goalies.  Halak did amazing for the team and took them far in the playoffs and it was awesome being part of that experience but let's not forget we were number one in conference not that long ago and Price took us there.  A team needs many elements to succeed but yes you do need someone to step up and this year in playoffs it was Halak, Gill, Georges, Cammillari.  The year we finished first it was line of Kovalev, Plecs and Andrei that was flying and Price didn't do that alone.  We as a team need to get bigger and not just bigger but better as well.  Looking at Hamilton, we have some good players but they are all small with exception of Pacioretty (who was injured anyways). We do have have players like Engqvist who might be good but even then, we are thin when it comes to talent and size and this Lars kid has done well in his first year in AHL and he will only get better.  We had to choose between two goalies and the management chose Price.  Suck it up and live with it now.

    oh I also remember a MVP goalie not that long ago who was also the best in league and got a HUGE contract to just fail year after year.  I am glad we got to witness some great goaltending by Halak but let's say he can repeat that next year in a conference that is bigger and badder and where he will get to play lots of minutes.  I wish him best of luck but we have seen many conn smythe winners changing teams before so not end of the world.  You call them minor leaguer I call them prospect.  Seems like you don't understand what a minor leaguer is.  These guys are 20 year old prospects and one of them you will see in habs uniform next year.
