    No way, it was a solid hit and he was just finishing his check. If it has been the other way around, you'd be saying what a great hit it was by Downey. There was nothing wrong with that hit. Whats Reghr suppose to do? Crouch so his shoulder doesn't hit his head? I don't like that Downey was milked and has no idea where he is right now and will probably miss signifcant time, but that was a great hit. Scott Stevens like. LEts see Komiarek lay out somebody like that

    The league has made it very clear that you cannot take a head shot when you have the guy lined up. He is supposed to make an attempt not to hit the head. He had that lined up and he came up to the head. He didn't have to do that.

    And for the record, several habs have been called sinced the lock out for the very same play. Guys have also been suspended for that. I won't be surprised if that is reviewed by the league.

    RDS doesn't have HD.

    Montreal does not have an HD truck. The only HD truck is in Toronto (big surprise).

    The only way to get Habs in HD are when they play Toronto (will be on CBC HD, since all Leaf games are), or when they are playing in the US arenas which have HD (many of them) AND the game is on TSN or Sportsnet.

    For RDS to show them next year, they need to get an HD truck for the home games and get a HD channel in the Cable or Satellite lineup.

    We have been lucky so far that the Philly game was in HD on TSN and the Habs/Leaf game was in HD.

    It sure is hard to watch the SD channel on the big screen, especially with some of the additional compression they do on Expressvu.. Hurts the eyes!

    I only care about losing Ribs because of what we got back, not much. Yes, a vet defenseman helps, but who seriously thought that getting another 5/6 defenseman was the biggest hole we had.

    If we traded Ribs and a young gun for a real top center I could understand, but so far, we are hurting down the middle.

    It is still early, but Pleks does not look like a number two guy (he never has either). I am not sure how much Ribs could fix the Kovalev problem, but clearly Pleks is not the answer either. From what I can see, Gainey is going to need to make a move at some point to get another center.

    We would be a far better team with Pleks back at the number 3 spot, with Bonk on the 4th, Begin on his wing. IMO.
