I would expect to see Kovalev and Lat's goal production increase with this set up. Lats parks in front and tips while Kovy shoots every time he gets the puck. How many shots did Kovy get?

I just checked his stats and they aren't great, but he played well tonight. One of the more dangerous players for the thrashers tonight.

I thought the stars should have been Huet, Lats, Kovalev. I love that line, I hope it stays for a while. BTW, Who the hell is Sims and why isn't he a habs. He played great.

Huet is back. That is the biggest momentum changer of all. He has made at least 5-10 spectacular saves. If Huet doesn't play the way he is, this game is totally different. I do think the lines look good though. The only problem is that the shut down line is broken up. Lats and Kovy look awesome together. Lappiere is winning a lot of face-offs too. I think if he is groomed properly, he will be a very good 2 way centre ( a la Carbo, Gainey, Lamaire)

Kovy and Lats look awesome together

I was thinking the same thing.

Go Habs Go

The timing of this clip was horrible, but don't over react. It was not intentional. It was a terrible over sight as they said. Let's not get crazy.

I noticed that too. Makes you wonder .He shows great leadership with his actions on the ice.

Wow give up on the whole Koivu-Kovalev scenario. The only way they will play together is special teams and when we are desparate for a goal. If they play together, they will both play against the best Defensive players on the other team and get shut down a lot of the time. They are better off separate. That is why I like the 3rd line right now. It's hard to cover 3 powerful lines.

Bad idea. Having all your power on one line makes it easy to defend against. Especially with teams that have a good shut down line. Spread the strength out and wear down the "D" with 3 powerful lines.

A week and a half ago the talk was Ryder and Sammy. I don't see anyone trashtalking Ryder now. Things change

Sammy on a checking line. (Yikes) I like the line up. The checking line will be defensively responsible yet fast as hell. Look for some explosive offense on the 3rd line. Again I will gloat. Did I call that or what.

That's awesome. I haven't heard that one before. That name is friggen perfect

goal coming up if they don't smarten up

Wow CJAD is slow. You guys are posting about 5 minutes before I hear it. Kind of ruins it for me.

Haha funny

I hope Downy one punches Eager tonight like he did against that Carilina guy.

Clarke: Desjardins a classy player as Flyers set to honour former blue-liner He is a class act. I was very disappointed when they announced that trade. As for Perez. Just look at his plus minus. I doubt he's being scratched to shake him up. Carbo sends him out against the best players to do a job, and he does it very well. Helps shut down the big line. I'd say he needs a rest or has personal issues or maybe he is being traded.

Who were New Jersey's #2 centres during their 2 stanley cup wins?

I'd love to see him do that with a Habs jersey on.

I now refuse to say 'Habs' as long as it is not capitalized I agree. Just as I would not use the name of one of the greatest Habs like say....oh...I don't know Beliveau1 without capitalizing it! :?-

2 busted sticks and 102 mph

Sammy on a checking line. (Yikes) I like the line up. The checking line will be defensively responsible yet fast as hell. Look for some explosive offense on the 3rd line. Also, I agree that having Lappiere on the 2nd could be what they need. Some toughness and defensive responsibilty. I wish Begin and Bonk would come back. Check the Win Loss column. Is it a coincidence that the team won way more when Begin was healthy?
