We gonna send Saks out everytime we need a faceoff win? Carbo and Jarvis must just shiver when they see the faceoff losses.

Oh man I hope Price can snap out of it. I have high hopes for him.

Haha...I agree. I was listening on the radio. I was just kidding. The way this line plays, you will hear no slag toward any of the three of them for a while.

whew...why didn't he feed Plex? Kovy you bastard

Markov ices the puck...WOW Plex line out there...

Poor Huet needs to not play the puck.

Huet has stolen a lot of games for this team. Lately, he hasn't, but he has still gotten the W. Tonight, nothing was working. You could just see the wind get knocked out of their sails. I can't wait until the team is mature and can handle diversity better, but it's a maturity thing. You all know how frustrating it is when you play sports, and you are playing well. It's like a high. The flipside of that is when you play poorly, you clutch the stick, and overthink things. Tonight, nothing went right. Top 5 worst game of the year. It's one game, and I was over it as soon as it was over.

It was a faceoff decision.

I hope that tonight's game puts the whole "we need a goon" talk to rest. My wife said there was a fight, which I missed, but I thought the boys showed a great deal of class in the way they dealt with Boston's bullies. Banging, crashing, centre ice hits. The hitting was fantastic. This is how you counter all of the fighting. Play the game the way it is meant to be played. Follow the rules, and drive their ribcages into the 7th row. Whern they get frustrated and take penalties, score some goals.

I agree. That drives me nuts. Our defense is scary looking. Half the time it's like the other team is on the power play. I wish they wouldn't let them in so easily. At least Obyrne and Komi would paste guys into the boards, so they know they have to go to the middle, but then the D just gives them the middle.

So does the bell centre release some tickets around game days, or how do people get their tickets? Can you get 10 packs? When I look online for tickets they are out of control with the price. Like 400% mark-up.

greys are pretty high...I sat in 330 AA, and they were pretty good. How much higher is C? I bet you will get 150 each if it's a race. I would only pay 75 a piece unless I was desparate. Good reds are 325 to 500 a ticket for that game.

Haha Murray Wilson dubbed 4th line the Axe line because of how they just whack at the puck in front of the net like crazy.

I like the look of all of the lines in general.... Crap PK time

Pardon?

Damn...early penalty

Cataclaw, you are a very good photographer. Your City is the best city in Canada. (that I have been to) I found it very social, I felt very safe, it is very beautiful...and...oh ya...THE GREATEST FREAKIN SPORTS FRANCHISE OF ALL TIME IN THE GALAXY IS FROM THERE

I would say you are right on there. I wish they would just remove the helmets, but it seems like most fights now are a wrestling match to get the helmet off, followed by a couple blows and it's over. My guess is O'Byrne was thinking, "Ok so while he's trying to get my helmet off, I will focus on smashing his face in. Sh!t, that hurts, man I wish I woulda tried taking off his helmet first." Expect to see this on Coaches Corner on Saturday. I would be willing to bet $50

The only way I would endosre a goon is if he was a hockey player first... enforcer second, like Neil or even Domi to some extent.

My guess is that is exactly what will happen. On this road trip Gorges and Cube played very well. (Considering they are the 5 and 6 D pairing.) With Breezy on his way back, and Streit able to play wing or D, O'byrne will probably go back to the dogs. The good news is that BG and Carbo know that he is ready for the NHL. Besides, I would rather send O'byrne down than Perky lil hooters. He has adjusted very well. The addition of Sergei and using Lappiere with Ryder and Higgins gives us three offensive lines, and we aren't wasting talent on a grinding line.

Ya I really wanted to see Locke perform. I was vey disappointed. But having Higgins and Kovy double shifting a lot probably gave the team strengths that Locke could not have provided. Overall game impression. Time to increase the 2nd line playing time. They are our true 1st line.

I wish the team didn't have so many times where they look like they are killing a penalty in their own zone. It's painful to watch.

Actually Guy didn't blow it. Hammer and all of the forwards did. Hammer went too deep and no forwards covered him. Ryder had a good game, and it's important to get some fire power early in OT. We got the point without Koivu. I do hope the team wotks on faceoffs during practice though.

Well if Koivu is out, I guess you would have to make the Plex line the #1 line.

-Gainey knew Ribs had to go because he was a cancer. He knew he had to deal him for a "D" man. When Dallas took Ribs, they knew, as did BG, that Ribs was very talented, but small and slow, and there was the punk factor which I'm sure the Dallas management was aware of. This was considered by both sides when the deal was made. Ninimaa was the best they could come up with. I'm sure if there was a better deal, BG would have taken it, but he wanted Ribs out more than he wanted someone else in. It didn't work out. The End. IMO the reason Ribs is doing well is Because he was traded. I'm sure it made him think. "Wow, they traded me for Ninimaa? I must have really p!ssed them off!" He was a punk, and he matured. Would he have matured as a habs? Who cares! It's over.
