wait....where's the punch and pie? I was told there would be punch and pie here! ah congrats anyways.

This was the delmar.ca turning point of my week! I may go celebrate at dagwoods.

go habs go...I guess? go gainey go! trade that dead weight!

I'm just glad they never made it onto the Stanley Cup. The Mighty Ducks? Shame. Shaaaaaaaaaaaame.

Glad to see NDP gain ground. My riding went conservative.

wh....what? are we talking about the same game?

I wish the Habs would stop playing offensively and start playing offensively. Little wordplay there. I'll take my simple pleasures when I can. *sigh*

Two wrong answers....perhaps a vague hint is necessary, like what decade the player played for the Habs?

I'll go see the girlfriend tonight guys, no worries.

Everything we did involved clothes being on. However, the fact that the last two games prior to last night were complete blowouts coincided with us not being anywhere near each other, and the recent wins and close game against Calgary came about when I was around her.....she's looking like my new good luck charm. Happy to oblige everyone. Also, I'm gonna bet on Kovalev getting the second hat trick

For everyone that guessed Bulis would get the Habs first hat trick of the year, raise your hand ...and then post that you are raising your hand.

I'm in favour of changes, even as early as yesterday, but shipping out everyone and tanking the season is not what I have in mind.

... *sigh*

Two ridiculous games in a row. Disgusting.

I thought I was being realistic.

Salary?

Edited in what I thought they could do. For the underachievers, it's mostly about offense. Imagine that!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!!!!!! /Brick

Noted.

/fixed You should know I'm merely being facetious and won't get involved in a flame war. I honestly can't tell if you are joking or serious... but it's looking legitimately negative.

*sigh* go habs go

Yes. I expected better play than what I'm seeing. I expected a threat nearly every game. Do notice they are at the bottom of the Underachievers list. I don't expect too much more. I expected slightly better offensive production out of Dandy. One goal that pinballs off your back or skate or face as you fall into the net doesn't really count. Bouillon is an overachiever (barely) because he's putting in a bit more offense this year. I disagree in that the team never really had something that they don't have now, except maybe a bit more heart. The offense wasn't there, the goaltending might have been a bit better...who overacheived individually? Begin? No one else really stands out.

At least I can spell. Dude, "chaos" not "kaos"

Just a thought.... I'd like everyone to post who you think is overachieving and underachieving, based on what you thought they would do at the beginning of the year compared to what they've done up to midseason. I like to think I set realistic goals for the players in my mind, and you'll notice that most of them involve offense. Underachievers Theodore (Current worth of play nowhere near equal to contract length and amount) Zednik (I expected Zednik. Where is he? Anyone know?) Dandenault (I thought the new NHL was practically formatted with him in mind. I thought he would thrive. I thought he would score more than once.) Bonk (I recognize that he was brought in to be a 3rd line center, but I expected him to push Ribiero for the second line spot. Also, even 3rd line centers put goals in the net. Dagenais (I honestly expected him to compete for the second line all season. He didn't.) Ribiero (Maturity, and slight defensive improvement. *sigh* I'll keep waiting.) ----From here, everyone could probably be put on the Middle Ground, but they've still disappointed me a bit. Komisarek (I recognize he is young, but I figured he'd have developed a tad quicker, not to mention scored once by now.) Kovalev (Domination. Consistency.) Perezhogin (Unfair placement? Perhaps. Julien didn't help him, but really, he practically disappeared when not being on the top line. He's gotta show something when elsewhere.) Koivu (With a real winger on at least one side of him, I thought he'd average more than a point per game. Admittedly, that was probably a lofty goal.) Bulis (I actually expected more offense. Silly me. He should be in the "middle ground.") Souray (Personal problems aside, I wanted more than what he was giving. Also should be middle ground.) The Middle Ground - For those players you can't go either way on Sundstrom (He's been exactly what everyone thought he'd be....and it's pissing me off. He should be middle of this pack, but he'll be here strictly out of spite.) Higgins (Smart two-way player. I wanted a few more goals, but hey. Rookie.) Plekanec (Actually had the media claiming him future second line centerover Ribs. That is an accomplishment.) Streit (Here...because despite his recent "okay" play, it doesn't make up for his "horrendous" play early on) Ryder (Score goals. Excellent work. Markov (He's improved in every way. I can't really ask for more. Rivet (I expected a steady D that does everything adequately. Overachieved a bit offensively. He's knocked to middle ground because of his penalties which seem to happen at the worst possible times.) Overachievers Boullion (More offense than expected, even rewarded with powerplay time. Great from someone that should be a #7) Begin (I expected a 4th line spark plug. I got a 3rd line spark plug. Showed a bit of a scoring touch early.) Huet (I expected an okay backup. His numbers don't do him justice. He deserves more wins and has played very well.) (If you feel like it, you can do what I did. That list is from Worst to Best. Theo is my greatest disappointment, Huet is my biggest surprise. God, that is sad.)

For the record, I only wanted them to lose so they could wake up and realize they needed to play better than how they were. I wasn't satisfied with fluke wins because I wanted dominate wins. I believed they could do it. Boy, am I an idiot.
