Ya I laughed when he wired it. I was like, "Well, there's cube's goal for the year."

I sort of thought that too, but it was so close, that you can't fault the ref for the call. The non call on Smith for instegating was a little suspicious, but again, Begin threw down fast. Penalty was killed, and one flyers Defenseman seeing stars. It's all good.

If you watch Richard's blade, he faked the shot, then turned his blade and faked the pass, then took the shot, which was a lazer. I don't blame Price for that goal at all.

In Nagano, Hasek outcheated Roy. Evertime a player skated past him, he held his hand like he was a gutshot dog. He whined and dove and the refs gave him his way. I believe that Hasek's disgusting antics and the penalties which they created won the gold for the Czechs. I have hated Hasek ever since that night. He reminded me of why I refuse to be a soccer fan. All of the antics leave a bad taste in my mouth. I don't care if it works, it is dishonorable and pathetic!

Haha... I noticed that too. Must be the steroids.

Not the worst seats either. I sat in 330, AA and thought they were not bad. Pretty hard to see the play on the other end though. Has anybody tried binoculaurs up there, or is it too hard to follow the play?

I hope Komi or O'Byrne hit him so hard tonight that his spleen gets flipped into the stands. That would be a trophy for some lucky fan.

I would expect to see Huet in nets tomorrow. Great game by Price tonight. Nice win. The full 2 minute 5 on 3 was intense.

That would be so sweet. Lose their spot in the draft. Get all the Laff fans excited and let them down hard. Nice I still relish the Islanders win over them last year. Laff fans had 12 hours to gloat and then it was tee-off time. It was the most satisfying non-Habs game I can remember in a long time. Ahhhh......memories

I hope not. I always hated Kasperitus, but I would have loved him as a Habs. The way you guys talk, Emilin is similar to Kasper.

Depending on your budget, I would try to get in the reds. The difference is night and day. I sat in 330 AA for a Toronto game, then moved down to 116E for the Bufalo game. The lower reds are great. The whites are pretty good too. I would not let the scalpers talk you into club Dejardains tickets. I found the seats to be a little high for the price they wanted. They push the free food thing pretty hard.

It's true that his assists were pure fluke, but he still looked more like the old Koivu. I just wanna see the effort and shiftiness of the old Koivu. The points will come later.

Your Fav Habs are Canucks? I grew up in BC and my fav habs are habs.

Last year, the Koivu line was very good, and Ryder followed suit. Higgins and Koivu were buzzing all the time, and feeding Ryder so he could shoot. It's not all Ryder that's an issue. It's the whole line. I think that Ryder would do well on another team with an elite centre. I feel bad for him. Someone needs to tell him that all he can do is shoot. Don't try anything else. Just shoot. Never pass, cuz you'll just give it away. I think the Koivu line has to step it up for this team to have any shot at getting passed the first round of the playoffs.

I told my wife in the first period, "Oh good, the Koivu line is going to score tonight!" So nice to see Koivu and Higgy messin with the defense. If we could get both first lines clicking, that would be great. Props to Pricey tonight. Got I pray that he becomes the star we all think he will.

sKATE HARD, PASS CRISP, NEVER GIVE UP, AND PLAY OFF EACH OTHER'S TALENT...WHICH THERE IS A LOT OF. And a scoring winger

Save percentage is the one stat out of the mess that you just listed that can be controlled by the goalie. Are you saying that Luongo in Florida was a middle of the pack goalie. He saw more rubber than a ..well..., but his save percentage was fantastic. His wins and GAA were not top teir though. I'm not saying Huet is near Luongo, who IMO is an elite goaltender, but it's our team that is inexperienced and need to gain some character with things like OT wins and Coming from behind. You are right about shootout wins though, and considering this, I hereby retract my previous statement. Huet is now a top 15 goalie. But I'm not moving from there man. I say good day.

On paper, those pairings look amazing. Does this mean Fisher is a right off?

I should be ashamed of myself, but I was born and raised in BC, but was also raised watching and cheering for the Habs. All of my friends hated the Habs and made fun of me, so I ended up focussing my attention on them losing and choking on the few occasions that they had a shot. I now continue this tradition and generally enjoy their failures. It's nothing against the Canucks or their fans, only the ones who hate the Habs. I am quite spiteful toward Habs Haters.

Ouch What are Bonk and Johnson earning this year? I honostly thought they brought more to the team than Kosto and Smoke. Our youth look good from an offensive standpoint, but I wish we had a little more defensive depth that could be called up. Oh well. I missed most of the game. How did Price look?

3 F#%ing posts tonight

I have sort of seen this coming lately. Earlier, when we started looking good, we were getting some secondary scoring to go with the amazing Plex line and Huet's play. Now it's all Huet and the first line. Nobody else has done a thing for several games. No Hammer hurts real bad too.

I don't care what place we come in as long as we don't face New Jersey.

Man I was sure hoping Hammer would be ready for tonight. Remember when he was signed? A lot of us were pissed at his salary vs impact on the team. I would say he is the best signing Habs have made since Kovy. Breezy should be benched and Dandy on D. I hope Breezy retires next year, without his old offensive prowess, he is so weak.

Huet will be looking for top 10 goaltender pay, because he is a top ten goaltender. Bob will give it to him, because as of today Price is still weak at puck tracking. He is very skilled and solid positionaly, but gets burned where Huet notmally doesn't. If Price develops well, Huet will be great trade bait next year. I hope he stays for the stability of this young team.
