I'm happy they won but I, for one, am sick of these one goal victories! Can we just win the old fashioned kick-butt style please It's almost as if there's a script and a formula going:
Canadiens Score = Opponent's score +1
Basically, whatever the opposition scores, we will score exactly one more goal than they do. Why do the Canadiens have to play each game based on how their opponent plays. Can't they just play good all the time?
Maybe the Canadiens just need to feel a comeback victory aginst them. Maybe then they will learn to score more than the formula predicts, and score three or four goals more than the opposition. That way, even if the oppostion scores, they will still be up more than two.
The Canadiens are driving me crazy!!!

As hard as it is to say guys, I think because Montreal has been barely winning their games and buffalo has got something to prove I think the habs will lose, but don't get down cause the Habs will win the next game after that.
prediction Habs 3

Obviously they are dumb. But the problem with these guys is that they don't look at a defenseman as a defensemen. They look for defensemen to score too! I disagree with that. If I had a defensmen that would always play perfect positioning with both his body and his stick (Markov) I would take him over a guy who messes up once in while but scores tons of points (Brisebois). In their books Brisebois is off too an impressive start. They are just dumb.

WAT!!!!!
Oh I am getting bad vibes from your post.
I am sticking to my standard Habs will win. I am also thinking a Sweep! Danis, Friday and Theo Saturday. Buffalo now has a goaltending problem, fast teams skate by their defence too. As long as the Habs keep the puck most of the game in buffalo's end I say VICTORY. (but close again)
Of course yourre getting bad vibes from my post. Nobody wants to hear the habs losing. I'm just saying, like any proud NHL team, they are looking to respond in abig way after that shelacking by the Sens. Look for them to be smoking in the first period. And on top of that they know that if they lose, we will gain too much ground on them in the Northeast Division. They will atleast want to split the series. I just hope Danis can weather the storm because he is in for a challenging night.

GO TAMPA BAY!!! If Ottawa loses against the defending champs, Canadiens can keep pace with the Senators...
That would be sweet. I would love to force TSN into giving us a top four power ranking, cause they would look really stupid if they didn't and the rest of the sites are putting us at no 2 or three.
Whatever, they look stupid enough as it is.

I absolutely love having American Habs fans. I hated you all until you showed me you are no different and you like the habs too. joke

I think the NHL has it in for the habs too! I was busy so I wasn't able to watch last game, but I checked the score on the scoreboard of NHL.com around the end of the game and it said 4-3 final for Florida. They counted us out before the game was over. Later in the car on the way home I learned of Begin and Ryder's heroics. Somebody wants the habs to lose.

When I lived in Chicago, there were like scalper offices that you could go to. Does montreal have the same thing?

Ha HA HA Scalper offices! That's like having a registered whore house, it doesn't make sense. I think scalping is illegal here

Wow all this time, I thought your avatar pic was you:) no joke

Wow, it's rare to actually see them away from hockey personalities. That was amazing!!! All the costumes were great. There wasn't one guy (maybe Ryder) who wasn't afraid to put something ridiculous on and just laugh it up.
-
Yeah I wouldn't want to burn the guy out. The reason why he has been scoring is not becuase he goes into the game trying to score, it's because he goes into the game with a set goal which is to do whatever it takes to help the team win. Other guys are probably thinking I need to get my stats up to stay on the roster, to not look bad, to get a btter contract etc. But Begin knows his role, and that is defense. He knows that whatever else he does asside from his role is just icing onthe cake. Him and Koivu are the only guys I see on the team that I can say for sure have that 'do whatever it takes' mentality. Koivu is our offensive spark, Begin is our defensive spark. Let's keep it that way and not put too much pressure on him.

Gainey is the man. But if I were gainey I would wait till Dagenais has few more good games under his belt and squeeze out the best draft pick we can get for him. Sell high, buy low...

We had an elementary school street hockey Tournament. We were devided into the original six teams, I ended up being on the Toronto Maple Leafs. I won gold with my team, being the goalie. Every since then I loved hockey. So I tried to cheer for the Toronto Maple leafs and for while it worked...until I saw the habs. Since around that time, I have never been a maple leaf fan.

I think the Canadiens are just gonna start Theo, he is gonna be good right off the bat agianst the Rangers. We are gonna win, and then everyone is gonna say how amazing Theo is. But remember guys that doesn't mean he is consistent... I would say Theodore is allowed to average 1 bad game for every nine or ten good ones because he is human. That comes down to about 7 bad games for the whole season. By now he aready has about 4 bad games under his belt and has 3 more lives over the course of the season to earn his salary. It's not likely he is going to do that, but you never know...
Also come playoff time, if Theo steals a series for us, and gets us into the conference finals, then all that he did in the season is nullified.

oooh I sense a comback, prediction, 6-5 habs in overtime.
-
I like the habs chances. What would really prove to me if the habs got it this year would be how they would cope in an injury plagued situation. ... We've already shown we can win without players like Zednik and Sundtrom but how would they do without Koivu, Kovalev, Markov or Theodore? If they can perform well without any one of those four guys, they are for real...
-
I tend to disagree with you Shortcat. We all know what you are supposed to do, especailly against a Jason Spezza and a Kovalev, you are suppose to keep your body square to the attackers. And although I do sympathise with Souray in that he made a mistake, I think his real mistake was staying on the ice for too long, which caused him to loose enough patience to make that mental mistake. The play was made and it was a mistake, but why that mistake happened is not out of lack of skill, or lack of practice, he was just tired and wanted to get rid of Spezza, I've been there before.

Who would win in a shootout??? Ottawa or Montreal???

But in the end, he probably accomplished everything he had promised to the Board upon his hiring. He just took the long road to do it.
I think that pretty much sums it up...
Yes, He made some bone head decisions. But if the league turns out better off by the end of his tenure than when he started, he has succeeded. And right now, it's looking a whole lot better.

What Bobby Clark fails to mention is that the rule changes are not favouring smaller players, it favours faster players. But I can see where he is coming from. You spend so much time making a team that will thrive in traditional rules, then all of a sudden they go and change the rules and everything you built doesn't have the same value.

Actually, I found the Buffalo commentator quite hilarious. But it's the kind of voice you can get sick of really fast.
