    Not sure we would get the Leafs or the Bruins. Only way we play the Bruins is if NY Rangers, (Sens of course), NY Islanders and Leafs lose as teams will be reseeded based on reg season standings.
  • Comment on Habs practise after Price named Molson Cup Player of the Year
    Without the 3 disastrous games during their slump, Carey's stats were up with the rest of the leaders, and was certainly there during the 18 (ish) game point streak the Habs went on. Not sure why everyone has to hate Carey, he's the Habs' goalie, and will be for a long time, so live with it. My beef is, how the hell is the Habs/Sens series playing 3 games in 4 nights for a playoff series, let alone the possibility of 7 games in 11 nights...brutal!
  • Comment on Gallant to join coaching staff, plus video from development camp.
    Also, Gomez' salary doesn't count against the cap if he's with the Bulldogs.
  • Comment on No blockbusters among Habs' trade-deadline deals
    Aren't Kostitsyn and Campoli UFAs this year? If so, better to trade them now instead of risking them walk away.
  • Comment on Leblanc called up
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but Jeff Carter has 10 years left on his deal at over 5 million per. I think that's a huge commitment considering he has been hurt all year. Also, I know everyone wants AK46 out of here, but he is young, big and seems to be having more fun now then ever.
  • Comment on And here come the Rangers
    My "keepers" line up Pac., DD, Cole AK, Lars, plek moen, white bourque gorges, Emelin, Diaz goners Nokia, Darche, budaj, campoli, weber, Gill, Gomez, Kaberle, and for really good offers only--Gio, PK (what, trade PK? are you crazy? Uh, for Shea Weber? yeah, trade PK!)
  • Comment on And here come the Rangers
    As annoying as it is to hear about it. Th Sens did in right. Last year they dumped salary played their young guys and it was exciting to watch. This year, they are still fun to watch and winning. I hope the Habs stay the course, we already have a lot of good young talent, so at this point, pick your 2 or 3 vets that get to stay, and cut the rest loose.
