Hey Guys
I used Sopcast to watch many games this year....but lately it says the NHL 3 channel which the games were on is offline....
i miss my habs games.... if somebody has useful info on the situatiion or somewhere else to watch them let me know please
-
Does anyone know how i can watch the game on the net...i heard rds was broadcasting free every game on the net...can someone help me out i want to see some habs
-
Good thread!
I have high hopes of Grabovsky making the team as well as Kostitsyn and I believe they would make the most impact if paired up on a line. I was watching a Hamilton game last season, and the announcer referred to the line of kostitsyn - grabovsky - milroy as the AHL's best line. I have no doubting kosty as he has proved he can play at the NHL level and im sure you all dont doubt him either, not saying hes going to be a star this year, but hopefully a 20goal 45 point guy, and from what ive seen during the rangers game regarding Grabs is that he obviously has some speed and skill, but what struck me most was his composure and poise...even without the puck.
I think their transition will be much smoother and they will flourish if they are paired together with possibly Plekanec to provide great play making and D-zone coverage
Who knows maybe Milroy makes the team as well and the line from hamilton is all there.
I hope to see lines like this
Higgins Koivu Ryder
Kovalev Smolinski Latendresse
Kostitsyn Grabosky / Plekanec ( Guy likes 2 centreman on one line)
Begin Lapierre crapshoot between kostopolous, lahti, streit
-
You would like to see gorges play instead of boullion..............what kind of drugs are you taking?....they must be good
-
With a few spots open on the roster, but a whopping load of prospects waiting, who will crack the line up next season. (someone who knows how should make a voting pole)
I would try something like this
Higgins Koivu Ryder
Kovalev Smolinski Latendresse
Kostitsyn Plekanec Grabovsky
Begin Chipchura Lapierre
First three lines should all be able to score

Crescent street is where its at.....

The fourth line was awesome, but does anybody else feel sorry for Perogie???? I know he's SOOOOOO much more than a 4th line player. I think he'll be a solid first or 2nd liner and be able to get 60 plus points a year as he matures his game and improves. Right now he's great because he's doing whatever's asked of him, and he's playing in whatever role they put him in, rounding out his game, etc... but I can only imagine that he must be a little disappointed not to get more minutes and more of a chance to play on more offensive lines / display his offensive skills... is he really any less offensive of a player than higgins or Lats, who have as much big league experience as he does (Higgins) or less (Lats) but get way more time on the top lines to show their stuff?
I'm not questioning Carbo's decision, the most important thing is the number in the wins column, but does anyone else think he's got more potential as an offensive guy than an energy / shut down guy?
What do you guys think? I'm really interested in hearing some opinions...
I agree with you. He definitely has the skill set, in my opinion, to be a future second or first line player. I have faith his confidence will catch up to him and we will see a complete player with a good attitude soon enough.

Doesn anyone else not like seeing Rivet and Souray together?
me

I am in total disgust with kovalev and to me his attitude is a cancer for this amazing team.
But, i hope kovalev can mature and start acting accountable and responsible, i swear he reminds me of a neglected child sometimes
And he thinks that skill alone is the key to success...for shame Mr. Kovalev
I think the time is due to let him sit in the press box for a game or two so he can realise that he is not THE team
-
The past 2 games wich were on TV.....YEES..... Sammy looked good
I judge players based on every play they make, and sammy seemed to make the smart play on almost every occasion.
Grabs looked very good 2, he seems to have the confidence to try things, like cutting through the middle of the offensive zone, that most players give up trying and just keep cycling the puck.
Kovalev on the other hand is horrid at decision making during these games, in the NJ game he sat behind the opposing net with the puck and just waited there for what seemed like an eternity, only to pass the puck to the opposition. When ur givin that much time and space DO SOMETHING!

Who said saku couldnt score 30 goals in a season?
-
Someone mentioned it before and it is by far....the ultimate nick name
MAXIMUS!!!!! MAXIMUS!!!!! MAXIMUS!!!!!!!
-
I fully agree...danis had performed 2 years in a row in hamilton...plus the few games he saw with the habs last year.
It would definitely be a full vote of confidence by the habs organization to recognise what Yann has done for the organization

ITS ZHOGS NIGHT 2 NIGHT>>>>>>>>>>HES ON A ROLLLLLLLL
-
I know he's a C, but he's so much the same as Samsonov in built and style that I can't imagine having both as top 6 forwards.
Grabs really picked up a pace lately. 10 pts in hsi last 6 games. Gotta wonder how much his linemates' (Milroy and Kosty) owe him their respective raise in production.
What on my green earth does build and size matter....ur like all those montreal naysayers who say we are 2 small...not so unlike the buffalo sabres
Sergei Samsonov 5'8" 194lbs
Mikhail Grabovsky 5'11" 182lbs ( grabs almost 6 feet...size means nothing)
Daniel Briere 5'10" 178lbs
Derek Roy 5'9" 186 lbs
Chris Drury 5'10" 200 lbs
Buffalo is living proof that size only matters if u think it matters B)
-
ok.....in november he is 0.82 GGA and 0.972 save % in 8 games going 7-1-0
total this year.......... 7-3-0 in 10 games with a 1.29 GGA and 0.957 save %
i feel so bad for danis.....two time AHL all-star (MVP in one of them...maybe 2 cant remember)
and he is getting replaced on the bulldogs as a starter
Halak is doing an amazing job...but i say that if Abie should be traded this year so danis can be back up at least in the NHL......which he easily has the skill to do
-
you guys make me laugh
-
One thing that separates kovalev from the likes of Hossa, Jagr, and all the other top point getters...........Attitude
-
Thank You
Someone who appriciates him as much as i do
-
We have 3rd and 4th in WHL scoring, and 1st in QMJHL defence scoring...............awesome
and mikus and kostitsyn are amazing 2
the future is beyond bright
-
No one knows about volume 2 yet! :hlogo:
-
Everyone seems to be underestimating florida.
Their record may not be the best right now...but i think they are a good team when, if they are playing with confidence, can dominate a game...ive seen them play a few times this year and they can play some good hockey
Even with bert out...guys like yokinen, horton, bowmeester, gelinas, weiss, olesz, and cant forget roberts, neiwendyke
If they are gellin. they can be a good team
But
Go HABS GO
-
Jason Allison would definitely be a project at the second line centre, but i think its a better fit than anything they have tried so far.
66 games played 17 goals 43 assists 60 points
As u can see he is a playmaker...who can also pot at least 15 goals...even in the new NHL as he proved last year. Since kovalev likes to slow down the play alot..allison wont have to keep up anyways
The combination of Kovalev and Allison down low, who are both giants, and samsonov blazing (dont mind if i do
) around the offensive zone could definitely be a threat.He wouldnt even cost that much
:hlogo:

You all make good points....lets just go smoke a duub

HABS SEEMED TO HAVE SIGNED MIKAEL JOHANSSON FROM THE SWEDISH ELITE LEAGUE...FORMER DETROIT LATE ROUND SWEDISH PICK
"In Swedish media today... This is just some examples, there are more articles also.
FBK-star on his way to Montreal
"I am leaning towards taking the chance"
FÄRJESTADE Mikael Johansson is on the way to the NHL.
The forward has received a contract proposal from the classic Montreal Canadiens.
- It tends that I'll take the chance, "he told Sportbladet.
http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportblade...icle5211214.ab
"23-year-old Mikael Johansson is very close to break his contract, despite two years remaining on the contract, and sign for the NHL - Montreal Canadiens club.
A one-year contract - which data is worth more than eight million kronor"
http://www.elitsportsbloggen.se/?p=4109
Färjestad may well lose Mikael Johansson to NHL. Montreal Canadiens star forward has offered a one year contract. "I received a contract from Montreal, but nothing is official yet," says Johansson to Expressen. (eurosport.se)
http://www.eurosport.se/ishockey/fbk...lashnews.shtml"
"Johansson has seen a great development as of late. A skilled player that can be used both on the wing as well as play centre. He is a good skater with impressive hockey sense and fine technical skills. Controls the puck with ease and stickhandles smoothly through traffic. Not very big, but plays with some grit and handles larger opponents well. Could improve some aspects in his defensive game"
