I guess Bob is sticking to his word. More speed up front with Kristo. Hopefully he gets stronger.

That's a very good point. I suppose all of this depends on who we give up. I'm surprised nobody mentioned Gorges in all this. I can't see Fletcher agreeing to take the Cube or Dandy. The cap hit is too high for what you get. I wonder if Striet or Ryder were worked into the equation? I have heard that Ryder's favourite team was the Leaves.

Ouch, A 1st and 2nd gone for 2009? But I suppose if you look at the roster depth and prospects, it couldn't hurt too bad.

I am sold on Gorges. I think he made great strides last year. He just needs to put the puck in the freakin net when he gets those chances. I think he is a great 5 or 6 D man. My guess is that the Tanguay acquisition and assuming that Sundin can be signed means that Striet will be down the road. I like Streit a lot, but wouldn't lose sleep over losing him as UFA.

Not happening?

confirmed on tsn.com

Done deal Tanguay to Habs.

Gretzky ,Lemieux, and Orr are the only 3 names whinch deserve to be used in the same sentence when you are discussing greatness. Jagr even said it, and I agree. All this comparing Crosby to these guys, or anyone else is nonsense. All the other elites, including Sundin, do not deserve that kind of status.

Of the players you listed, I would go hard for Rolston, Sundin, Dimitra, Hossa, Selanne. In that order. The rest can piss off.

I didn't read the link...language issues...but what the hell does this thread have to do with Habs stuff?

A disapointing end to the season, but I am still proud of the boys. I really believe that Marky and Komi were playing hurt. They weren't themselves this series. Komi never crushed one guy that I saw. Our D need to work on stopping forwards when they cut to the middle acroos our blueline. I just hope Price doesn't turn into another Fleury. Brought up too fast and hurt his developement for a couple years. I really hope we can add some SKILLED toughness up front this offseason. They don't have to be Canadian, but they have to play like canadians. |Fineese is fun to watch, but we all saw what skill and toughness can accomplish. Those big Flyer forwards were just driving to the net steady. How's Fisher doing? I thought he was gonna be good, but I don't hear much about him.

I would say that this team has dominated 6 or 7 out of 9 periods against Philly so far. Regardless of the outcome, I can't be mad at this team. If you are giving it 100%, that's all you can do. It's become a goaltender dual, and Biron plays well when he's facing a lot of shots. So does Price. It's a little hard to watch, but regardless of the outcome, I will be proud of this team for their efforts in this series.

The boys played fantastic tonight. A little passive defensively, and the 2 first goals were scarey. Come out a little Price. I was disapointed with the result, but very happy with the game as a whole. A screened deflection, a deflection that finds the only tiny whole in the corner I can't blame Price for those two, or the one where Umberger cranked him in the glove. I do agree that Price hasn't looked great lately, but man you gotta love the way the Habs are buzzing around the Flyer's cement skate defense. I was inpressed with the team's tenacity in the Flyer's zone, and disapointed with the "D". Biron was brilliant on a few great plays, and he was the difference maker. I feel confident after this loss. "Hey Komi, start getting mean! Flyers are your enemy. You hate them. They will take your children in the night. Start hating, and start crushing!!!"

Ya, I washed every single fabric that I had with a Habs logo or name on it. Hats, shirts, jerseys, Blanket, cushion. Washed the filth of loss away. Then I wore all of it to work. I was so bummed that I could only listen on XM radio. I am working nights, but I'm getting up at 11:30 (Alberta time) to watch Canadiens Express.

Kozed, You gonna break out the Yvonne avatar whenever the Habs really need it? I noticed you changed it after the game. Someone stated earlier and I agree. Carbo's tie, Kozed's Yvonne, and Fanpuck's thread... all major contribitors to the win.

I'm not gonna watch. I have to work during the game and I am sort of glad.

Saks and Cube haven't played much in the 2nd.

Chara is hurt. If they come out flying, and fly for the full 3 periods, they will win. Don't ease up on Chara out of respect though. Don't try to kill him, but they avoided hitting him yesterday. It's a contact sport. It would be nice to not have that big body on the right side.

They need to hit Chara early on Saturday. He is hurt. If he can't play, the Pooh Bears should be nice and deflated. If they don't win, the kids aren't ready yet. Big improvement from last year, but comiing into the season, I didn't think they would make it in. I have a good feeling about Saturday though.

I'm glad it was a blowout and not a 1 goal game. Now we can see how Price plays on Saturday. I know the guys will be out for blood. WHY THE HELL DID THEY EASE UP ON CHARA?

What a great pic

"Uh, I dunno...I guess I'll throw it in a box with the rest of the stuff or give it to my parents." Best quote ever. In other words..."Who cares about the puck man, this is playoffs...Don't mess with my Chi dude.

Those were my thoughts as well. No Koivu unless it goes to game 6. One thing that really impresses me with the first two games, is the balanced scoring. The depth chart will look so good once Koivu and Booboo are back.

I liked it too, but I believe the ghosts like Vertigo.

I am monolingual with grade 11 French, and I wanted to switch to RDS anyway. I can only understand 1/4 of the vocabulary, but usually it's enough that I can follow the game. Boob Cole and Dung Cherry are a discrace to National television. It's called Hockey night in Canada, not Inept moron night in Leafland. I friggen hate both those idiots. In the 2nd and third you could tell that bastard wanted Boston to score. Couldn't get names right and didn't give the Habs credit for anything.
