    Lets be realistic. People miss Hossa, saying he does not give his all, but he is a better player.... Well, what about ribs Dags. They have way more points then Hossa, yet they are considered crap on this board. Just because we dumped a guy who then gets 13 - 20 points in the next season, does not make it a bad move. Hossa is a poor excuse for a hockey player and we are better off without him. If he was on the team we would be even softer then we are now and people would be calling for his head. Now I am happy Yanic is having a great season, but that was hardly predictable. Again, he would not be the answer for the habs and on this team, he might be struggling. Who knows. It is easy to look at trades in hindsight and question them, but that is unfair. Look at Bonk for Garon. That looked like a bloody steal. We were not really playing Garon, hence he did not contribute much. Bonk looked like a decent number 2 center and we were going to use him on the 3rd line! Wow, actual scoring from our third line. Most people were pretty excited. Who knows, Bonk might get his act together and be a decent player for the next two years and we will all be happy to have him. Maybe not, but at the time of the trade, it was a good move. Even Kovalev was an exciting acquistion. Finally a true skill player on the team. Oh the excitement... then he stuggles. Who knows what the future brings. There are people who would never like Jagr because he was soft, lazy, and selfish. Yet, this season he is awesome. Who knew? No one knew. That is the beauty of sport.
  3. Yes, the penalties hurt them, but they were outplayed 5 on 5 most of the game. I am not sure why you think the Habs won on even strength. Other then a few minutes at the end, they were hardly in the Boston zone. Also, the penalties were a direct result of poor play 5 on 5.
  4. Its like the wizard of oz... no hearts, no brains, and no courage.
  5. I am starting to think a Nolan or rent a player is needed just to shake this team up. Too many guys are just not competing. If I hear one more of them talk about "working hard" I am going to choke. Don't talk about it... DO IT!
  6. More accurately, it is not "ALL" Theo's fault. He has lost some games all by himself, but the team works pretty hard to lose games too.
  7. Cote is looking good and Souray is at least looking good offensively. Other then that this team completely sucks. Sure Boston has played better lately, but they are getting totally out skated, out shot, and out played. Boston deserves to win this one since they are the only ones that showed up.
  8. I never said Theo was playing well, I am saying the team in front sucks regardless of the goalie. Huet is playing great and they respond by playing horrible. I am simply saying that a lot of people felt that Theo was so bad, the team played bad in front on him. I say they are just playing bad, period. When Theo is in, it just results in even more goals since he is sucking too.
  9. Sigh.. never changes. they stopped skating once they were up by one. Now they are getting beat to the puck, skated past, and have to take dumb, lazy penalties. I know Theo has not played well, but I don't buy the arguement that the team gives up due to soft goals. Huet has been standing on his head and this team hung him out to dry anyway. Does anyone remember the last time a MTL defenseman stood up to a guy at the line and knocked him on his butt? Playing like a bunch of pansies.
  10. And there is the patented "Habs 5-3' gift. Why these guys take so many penalties when on the PK is beyond me.
  11. The team is really playing poorly. No offense, bad defensive coverage, and no hitting. They better kiss Huet's ring finger and call him "Sir' if they end up winning this one.
  12. Nice stop by Huet. Team was pumped by that stop.
  13. Bah, I really hate Ribs on the 4th line. Put him on the 2nd line with Pleks. That line was pretty good last time they were together. Begin belongs on the 4th line, not because he is bad, but because he is a 4th line type player. He is what makes our 4th line effective! Hopefully they will switch before the game is too far in, much like a few games ago.
  14. LOL, I guess when I upload my camera I will have to post it. He is only 6, but he covers more of the toilet then Theo these days.
  15. My son did a pretty good impersonation of Theo... I went up stairs and he had his goalie pads on, while taking a crap on toilet.... I just about lost it I was laughing so hard..... PS. I am not kidding.. I took a picture
  16. You know, the team has had no luck on the PP, but they are still trying hard. They are skating well and getting chances. A few bounces and this would be a close game.
  17. Worse, we are outplaying them. Take away Theo and the refs, we are winning 2 -1....
  18. Nice... theo is .500 tonight. Shame he was not a baseball player, that stat might be worth something... I have always like theo, but this is going beyond a below average season, he is absolutely terrible lately. His best games are tolerable, his bad games are embarrassing. Not sure what Gainey can do, but at some point, it is better to make him the backup for the rest of the year then keep this up. I know he cost a lot of money, but why keeping tossing good points after bad money?
  19. I am starting to feel bad for Ribs. He is now a minus 2 thanks to theo...
  20. Time to pull Theo.. he is trying, but it is not his night.
  21. These refs are crap. Another non-call. Seems they only call soft penalites on the habs. I have seen at least 4 blatent interference non-calls, a trip, and some good old holding. Yet not one PP for the habs.
  22. What was that all about? Refs feeling sorry for Wesley or something? That was abyssmal to call Begin on the roughing, then let them maul Koivu. That was a well played period until the refs got involved. Should be 2-2 after one. Hopefully they can bounce back.
