  Neither am I worried about Riberio - just that his 47 points in 45 games would easily make him the leading scorer on the Habs, something the HABS could use! The fact that he is the second leading scorer on a team that has way more talent than the Habs speaks for itself. The rason some fans are concerned about the 4th place Habs is because fans know that if the Habs had played all season at the level they are currently playing - they would be competing for a draft lottery pick - and if this level of play continues, they would be challeneged to defeat the Panthers in a 7 game series!

  In my humble opinin (and as much as I have liked it) - the Habs have enjoyed the results of exceeding realistic expectations for most of this season. Comparing Habs roster to the talent levels of the Bruins, Pens, Hawks and a healthy Sens team - there simply is no comparison. When the Habs were winning, it was easy to overlook the damage done by the previous managent regimes. How would guys like Riberio and Ryan McDonagh look in a Hab's jersey right now? Then again if the Habs would have done their scouting/drafting home work they could have had Giroux instaed of Fisher and of course a number of possible gems in 2003 instead of Andre Kositisyn and Cory Urquhart et al. And the beat goes on. I do have faith in Bergevin - but inheriting an organization that is paper thin in the depth of talent - he will need some time to clean up the mess he inherited. GO HABS

  Agree with Bonne, 100% (even the part about "qualifying" for another Galchenyk). When you compare Habs roster to that of the Bruins and Pens - how have the Habs hung with these teams for 40 + games? In overacheiving, Habs exceeded expectations this season - it will take time to clean up an inherited mess and build a true Cup contender. Hopefully, Bergevin has learned from a few of his contract mistakes (Mowen, Bouillon, Desharnais). GO HABS!

  Thank you HabinBurlington - but I need his address (live in Edmonton and I have a long drive etc.). As a former NHL player, Stock could not have carried PK's skates into the dressing room. If PK had 100 points in a 48 game season, was +100 and won the Norris and Hart Trophies, Stock would look for a reason to dump on the guy. I assume CBC will keep Stock employed - they have kept Don Cherry around for 30+ years! GO HABS

  PJ Stock is a complete moron. Which is why CBC will continue giving him work - they have kept Don Cherry emplyed for more than 30 years! GO HABS!

  Lars Eller? Eller has 4 goals this season......won't provide the offense that Pleks does - doubt he is capable of filling Plek's shoes. Eller's career reminds me of Riberio's career (it tookm a few years before Mike R. began to produce offensively - not sure Eller ever will). Would Therrian be better off returning Galchenyk to his natural center position?
• Comment on Desharnais gets four-year, $14-million deal
  Desharnais is too small for the board work and corner work required to play the wing!
