  1. He needs a healthy dose of testosterone. Maybe spend a couple months living on a farm too.
  2. They'll drop a bit next time with Plekanec and Perezhogin graduating by the end of the season, but this is a great group of youngsters. Hopefully this coming draft addresses the defensemen need.
  3. That race in the west is great. Only two teams have clinched (both a playoff spot and their division) and not even Calgary is safe yet.
  4. I went house hunting in Toronto today. Toronto has a hockey team. Montreal also has a hockey team. Thus, thread relevance
  5. Actually, I was initially going to do some kind of possible statistical accomplishment for everybody, but saying "Bonk is 4 goals from 10 this season" really hurts. Same with Zednik. I am gonna add this however, there are 3 players in the running for an Iron Man season: Ryder, Rivet, and Dandenault. Begin is close but missed one game. I'm prepared to eat my words on Bulis. 1 goal in 6 games? He should get it, even if Kovalev has to bank a shot off his ass and past the goalie. Waiting for Ryder to get 30 is very exciting. A 5 (or more) increase in goals for a sophomore season is very respectable. If I can truly call this thread my own, I rule this a no pants zone. Why? Because it's liberating.
  6. This is the type of problem we wished the Habs had earlier in the season: too many defensemen playing well
  7. Kovalev does that because that's what Kovalev does. He's a talented enough guy to do it more often than not. The best thing his linemates can do is try not to stare in awe and charge the net to help convince Alex to shoot or pass. Once again, this is where a power forward comes in handy. Park a big ass in front of the net to give the defencemen and goalie fits and give Kovalev the room and options. Since that guy isn't currently on the Habs roster, Ribiero and *insert whoever is on the second line next game here* just need to grit their teeth and charge.
  8. Ribeiro's assist on Dandenault's goal was the 100th of his NHL career canadiens.com
  9. With 6 Games left: Higgins = 20 goal campaign. *ACCOMPLISHED* Ryder currently sits 1 goal from a 30 goal season. Higgins is 4 goals from a 25 goal campaign. Plekanec is 2 goals from 10, Perezhogin 1 goal from 10. Bulis is 1 goal from a 20 goal campaign, and 5 points away from a career high in points (of 41) Markov is 4 goals from a career high (of 14) Souray is 1 point from a career high (of 36) Rivet is 3 goals from a career high (of 9) Komisarek is 2 points from a career high (of 5) Koivu needs 5 goals to overtake his career high (of 21) but just need 3 for a 20 goal season. Ribiero need 5 goals for a 20 goal season All possible. Bouillon is removed because of his injury. Ribs is added cause...why not? This appears to have become my own private thread...ah well. It keeps me amused.
  10. Has Perezhogin been on the second line all night? Apparently he doesn't even have to do anything, as long as he's with Ribiero and Kovalev they just seem to rack up the points.
  11. Smart maneuver. I think the New Jersey game is the important one, and Huet should be rested for it. Aebischer is pretty much being thrown to the wolves here, but who knows? He's won games before, he isn't as bad a goalie as he's been lately, and he may break out and show everyone why he isn't a backup. Just to be safe though, the Habs could always just score 10.
  12. This second line is weird. Before it was pretty much the Ribiero/Kovalev show and it didn't matter who was beside them. When they suddenly needed help, the roster spot became a rotating door position. Perezhogin, Zednik, Murray, Perezhogin, probably Bulis next...maybe even Sundstrom gets a chance at it too if Perezhogin and Bulis fail. It's just that all the other lines are oozing chemistry. Higgins, Koivu and Ryder have (finally) clicked, we've all seen what Begin and Bonk do for each other, and Plekanec seems to be able to take anyone on the third line and play solid hockey. Who will take the second line opening and run with it?
  13. Anyone want to do a player by player comparison? I don't, but someone else with too much time on their hands?
  14. With 7 Games left: Higgins = 20 goal campaign. *ACCOMPLISHED* Ryder currently sits 1 goal from a 30 goal season. Higgins is 5 goals from a 25 goal campaign. Plekanec is 2 goals from 10, Perezhogin 1 goal from 10. Bulis is 2 goals from a 20 goal campaign, and 6 points away from a career high in points (of 41) Markov is 4 goals from a career high (of 14) Souray is 1 point from a career high (of 36) Rivet is 3 goals from a career high (of 9) Bouillon is 1 goal from a career high (of 4) Komisarek is 2 points from a career high (of 5) Koivu needs 6 goals to overtake his career high (of 21)
  15. Because Habs fans thought he should get 40 and booed him?
  16. Perhaps there was a 30 goal scorer traded away? None that I can recall, but maybe.
  17. Higgins with #20 ....can he get 25?
  18. Souray has an assist on Koivu's goal. He needs one more point for a career high
  19. MMMMM a nice foot taste Bulis has 2 more goals to go.
