440 am, Work at 9. Worth every minute!

Listening in on Rags radio in Italy and they called that Kreider trip a penalty.....

I was speaking tongue in cheek there. lol. Didn't think they would ever mess with 'merica's pass time the way the have with Canada's passion. Maybe now they can fix football and have a field goal competition to end ties, or maybe bring in tires for the QBs to throw balls through. #iftitaintbrokedontfixit Just imagine the PGA ties being ended with a round on the local mini-putt course. "Woods is stepping up the the 6th tee. In the past the windmill has caused trouble for so many golfers..."

What I don't like about baseball is the way the game can drag on for hours in extra innings. I have come up with the perfect solution to this problem. I suggest that if after 9 innings the game is tied the teams play one inning with 6 men on the field and nobody allowed to line up outside the infield before the pitch . If after that extra inning the game is still a draw the game should be decided in a home run derby! Now that would be exciting!

Lots of bottom line tweaking but where is the big gun?

CJ knows we need a nasty line to go far in the playoffs. We have been soft in the past for sure. We know can put out a bottom line of Ott Shaw and Big Mac that should mess with teams heads. If we land Vanek or Duchene we are in the running. See how the morning pans out. Filppula would fill the bill too and the fact he said no to Toronto make me like him.

Habs win the next 40 games.

Wait, Desharnais is not the top C? Where's the love?

He's back....

.We should have kept Roy over Trembley, enough said? You don't throw away your franchise player, ever.

He should have been fired 14 months ago and every day he continues to hold his job is a mistake. IMO. He seems to have no problem winning out of the gate but has no idea of how to conform as other teams figure out his system. I wish it was not the case because I like the guy, but he has to be released and the sooner the better. Let Kirk take over. Yes know he doesn't speak French.... Whatever. Not sure if I would expect better results with Jullien. We need a change behind the bench and we need to bring in 1 or 2 more top tier players if we are going to make a run this year. If we aren't making a run then MB is a fool for bringing in Weber.

Go Habs Go! Streaming in the English Channel

Another costly stream for me but have only not watched the CBJ game and that didn't turn out well so streaming at sea it is. GO HABS GO! Not much to say when we have no complaints, that is a good thing. Also no DD on the PP again, another good thing!

First game I missed all season, didn't want to pay the $20 internet at sea cost to stream it. I take the blame

We gave up one of the most popular popular with the fans players on the team. I loved watching him as much as anyone did. What we got in return is a better defensive defenceman with an equal point output. He will never be as charismatic or seen in the media as PK was, but on the ice he is proving to be a stud. His numbers are amazing, his control of the play is great. He is definitely not, as others state, a problem in his own end. He does not have a fast stride but like Chara covers the ice very quickly due to his size giving him a big stride. Therefore you don't see him caught up ice of beaten by faster players. This thread is well named as there are so many who continue to whine about a trade that is proving to be a huge success. The trade was made for now not 8 years down the road when we no longer have a prime Carey Price. This is our cup window, not 8 years down the road. Accept that fact and you will come to like the trade. Last year when Carey went down somehow the team totally fell apart. We were lacking leadership in the locker room IMO. Nobody that I know of on this forum are privy to what goes on in there but I have to say we should not have been as bad as we were without Price. This team has the ability to compete regardless of which NHL goalie is in the net. Price does put us over the top but we still should have been a playoff team. This move may easily have addressed that issue as well. That of course is speculation but something was obviously wrong in that room for the past few seasons. We all spoke of it on here. Hopefully those theories are not needed anymore and we continue to dominate on the ice. Glad to have Shea here. Didn't get the trade myself at first. Hated it in fact. Now I remember why I am only an armchair GM. Good trade.
