ozhab Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 WE WANT HACKETT BACK!!! *sigh* Drastic measures are needed. Gainey needs to break up the Pylon Pairing (Souray and Rivet). Instead of dressing Streit (a non-factor in games like these), he needs to dress Kostitsyn or Downey. Downey to send a message (because right now, only the young guys are doing anything of the sort - Komi and Zhogs), or Kostitsyn to get a new shooter out there. In 2002, we were shutout in our first game vs the Canes. We came back in games 2 and 3, winning 4-1 and 2-1. Then came the fateful game 4, when Carolina rallied from 3-0 down. It went downhill from there, 5-1 and 8-2 the series clincher. Will we drop the next 2 games? Only time will tell. Here's hoping BG has something up his sleeve. Hackett.... Hackett.... Hackett.... Dressing Streit wasn't really a bright move. We're lacking goals (forget about letting people stand unchecked in front of Huet, that's another matter altogether) and we need a scoring threat. I like the sound of Kostitsyn coming into the lineup. Offensive creativity couldn't hurt this team. I do find it amazing how two straight losses really shows up some fans. It's not like we got pumped 8-0 in both games.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalhabs Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Knew losing Koivu would mess up the whole playoff. Thanks alot Williams for not keeping track on your equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Do you realize how silly you sound? They are. They are being paid off by Don Cherry. I'm being sarcastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gohabsgo252006 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Well after seeing Gainey's post game comments, I'll repeat my prediction for next game. 1. Perezhogin Plekanek Zednik - They've been our best line PERIOD. 2a. Bulis Ribeiro Kovalev - Have been awful, if continues mid-game breakup will occur 2b. Kostytsin Higgins Ryder (Creativity scoring ability, this line should be fun to watch). 3. Murray Bonk Begin / Sundstrom (Defence, if Begin is back, this line can pound the other team for momentum.) Bouillon was great tonight, Dandenault has really stepped up Rivet and Sourray need to get their heads out of the sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch_Habs_Fan Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 (edited) Don Cherry is pointing out that the winning goal was also goal tender interference... This is really sucking. Why does Carolina get away with going right on top of Huet in the crease... but as Cherry says, they won't call back two.... Cuz i think we dont do that on Ward, we make his life to easy!! Crash him once or twice, get the youngster nervous!! BTW JLP, why Aeby? Huet did his job, but D is Failing big time!!

JLP Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 BTW JLP, why Aeby? Huet did his job, but D is Failing big time!! Agreed Dutch, if I were Gainey I'd keep Huet in goal. Now we will see what the Habs can do when they need to play with all their hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombTHEice Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 BTW. What a nice hit from Bouillon on Recchi, it really looked cool. B) I only hope that we won't see Bonk on one of the offencive lines next game, he rather should stay with his defencive role. Without Koivu, there's simply a huge hole left at center ... Ribs is as invisible as always during the PO's and I hope that this will be his last games for the HABS (if he isn't stepping up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 If Kostitsyn plays, I want him on Kovalev's line and no one else's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlétique.Canadien Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 If Kostitsyn plays, I want him on Kovalev's line and no one else's. Makes sense since they speak practically the same foreign language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beliveau1 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 refs aren't calling any calls for us because they are being paid not too by the NHL. Yeah right?????? I lived beside the man who is now in charge of NHL officials - Steve Walkom - for a couple of years. Man he was just rolling in the dough from all those payments he received not to make calls on the Habs...... Yup, he was just rolling in the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribeiro Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Compare these stats: Théodore - save % .862 = 14th overall - goals against average 2.92 = 11th overall. Huet - save % of .936 = 2nd overall - goals against average 2.33= 7th overall who's better off? WE ARE. What does Huet have to do with Theodore's departure? Huet would have been a habs regardless of whether Theodore was traded or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beliveau1 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 What does Huet have to do with Theodore's departure? Huet would have been a habs regardless of whether Theodore was traded or not. Lots - once Gainey established that Huet could be his starter Theodore suddnenly became very expendable. No Huet 'the starter' may very well have made a difference in this deal being done or not...... And he traded Theodore for what is now their #2 goalie in the playoffs?

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Right. And thank God for Huet...otherwise we'd have been blown out in 4 straight with Theo in net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 some neat stats from last game: Blocked shots: Carolina 17 Habs 9 Hits: Carolina 18 Habs 29 Faceoff %: Carolina 53 Habs 47 Individual stats: Garth Murray with 33% faceoff wins Ribeiro 45% Plekanec 52% Bonk 53% Time on ice leaders: Markov 25:40 Kovalev 21:43 Streit played 3:29 Interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
