Nilan25

Guys let's be realistic. There is no way the Canadiens will hire anyone but a currently biliingual coach. Point finale.

Kozed: You are using the firing of a good man, a guy who bleeds bleu blanc et rouge, who was clearly let down by his players to blame Koivu???

Kozed: It's business. Players may be pukes but the coach has to get the best out of the pukes. By the bye think your avatar sucks. You have an agenda, clearly.

That's exactly how I feel. Players quit. How about Rejean Tremblay or bitter Jean Perron?

Agreed. For the longest time I thought I don't want to be one of those blame the coach guys. There is something wrong here. These are talented players are there all sucking. By the way, sign Komisarek now. Do you how many teams would be all over this guy?

Questions to ponder: • Do you seriously see your Montreal Canadiens as a Stanley Cup contender? • In these troubled times, how much of your equity would you bet on them making the playoffs? Your house? Your devalued stock portfolio? $5 ... but only if you got good odds? • WWND? What would Nilan do if opponents roughed up his most talented teamate and ran his goaltender? • What ails Carey Price? Did he catch it from Mike Komisarek? And has it spread to Andrei Kostitsyn? • Who is most likely to energize a troubled team, Bill Guerin or Alex Tanguay? • Were the Canadiens who weren't traded relieved or disappointed? • If Jaro Halak falters, can we start dreaming about John Tavares? • On the morning after a loss and a plane trip, would you bag-skate 38-year-old Patrice Brisebois, 34-year-old cancer survivor Saku Koivu and 36-year-old Alex Kovalev? • Is there another team in the National Hockey League that has a forward coaching the defencemen and defencemen playing forward? • Is it true you're allowed to call timeout in hockey games? • Is it true you're allowed to make in-game adjustments? • If his name were not Guy Carbonneau, would he still be coaching the Montreal Canadiens? • If his name were not Bob Gainey, would he have the best job security – outside of maybe Gary Bettman – in the NHL? • Who'll play better on Sunday, Mike Ribeiro or Steve Bégin? And finally: Which Montreal Canadiens will show up for the stretch srive? Tags: Boone 2 comments About last night ...

Patrick friggin Lalime. C'mon!

Lets hope Price has his MOJO back!

Why does everyone have to denigrate Price when Halak plays well? Would'nt be better if both goalies play well?

They are a lot tougher.

I find Detroit boring too. If you want that kind of hockey watch euro hockey on satellite.

He has been underwhelming all year. And will a shot of his ever hit the net?

Koivu can do other things. Like lead!

Wait till Dandenault goes.

Nailed it!!!

Don't kid yourself. Guys like Rejean Tremblay and Perron will bring it up. It has nothing to do with talent or contract status.

Hate the fact we are losing character players in Begin and Dadenault. Thats three "role" players that want out, maybe Carbo does not handle them well. French press will go nuts with two French players leaving.

Laracque is not there to fight Tucker. He has been slow and out of shape. Just hasn't worked out.

Look I like the guy. He is like all those old fighters. They get to the point where they don't like to fight anymore. Furthermore, no one except guys like Shelley, Godard etc. will fight him. It really hasn't worked out for whatever reason. But a no trade clause? WTF?

Aside from Halak"s huge performance we won because of our penalty killing. Koivu was 77 per cent in the faceoff circle.

Those guys worked their asses off tonight. The Captain was outstanding, especially on the PK. Markow Gorges very good, also Breezer. AK47 looked lost as did Komisarek. What is the beef with Begin?

Chipchara got to go. Reminds me of the Sens call up, they dont have any impact at all. Koivu 9-7 on the faceoffs. Not been his best but still healing. Tired of Kozed's bashing.

Komi,Price,Higgins, Price, waste of uniform.

What's wrong with the power play? Mark Streit 7G 14A, Sheldon Souray 8G 14A. Sigh...

Nothing wrong with passing except there is too much of it. Its the shots from the point (or lack thereof), Markov has the hardest, most accurate shot on the team but will not shoot. Long for the greediness of someone like Souray.
