KEEP26

big win last night..beat the best team in the the east..put a end to the was cap winning streak..way to go habs.. price had 33 saves and the team score 6 goals..all around good game by everone...(was it just me or did Markov look a little off last night) if your on this game thread fighting about price and halak then that is sad...we just play and beat the hottest team in the nhl and guys are still crying about goalies..GOD help us...

GO HABS GO.....

most of the year everyone been talking about Jaroslav Halak and Carey Price....so both guys are rfa this year and with the new cap nhl.. shouldnt we find out how much each guy are looking for and keep the one that we can get the best deal with??? just wondering....

well all i hear is how great the players were in the 70s..so it must work..lol you have no clue how to get the most out of a person..everyone is different..some guys need to be bash other need to be told their great..its the coachs job to find what works for each guy.. most players today are told their so great from a early age they think there the man before they get to the NHL...so if you take a guy at a young age put him in his place, show him he got to work hard..then when he gets a couple year in the nhl he well feel he fought his way to the top and have confidence in him self.. this is why i think when you bring young top guy up to early they dont play well mostly because of confidence.. Coach are not meant to be players buddies.. this is how it should work..Coach said to player A your a bag of Sh*t, get it together...(he get pissed and what to play better and hard) Team C says to player A dont worry about it your doing OK, you just got to do this better but keep up the good work and it well come..its a lot of pushing buttons with people and Getting the best out of a person..

I dont see Gomez going anywhere his part of the bigger picture...I have heard the Turco(vet goalie) rumor coming to montreal a few weeks back..i dont see how this is a good move unless its a bigger trade..halak or price for turco is a bad trade..

I disagree with pretty much everything you say..puting players in their place by the coach is a good thing..it show them that they must work for their ice time..Coachs unlike most fans dont just fall in love with a player because of 1or 2 good games.. bashing players is a great tool to get players working harder, as a coach you just as to learn to pick your battles..as me being a guy who play sports all my life and then join the army, being bash by my coachs and leadership at times made me better at my job and a strong person..but like i said their a time for it.. i dont think anyone can blame the GM or Coach this year if we dont make the playoffs..i really cant believe we are still in the playoff race with the guy we have hurt this season..my hats off to all the players and coach for still holding their own with some of the best teams in the nhl when most of are best players are out.. fans got to start looking at the good things the habs got going for them and the good players we have....

I think Mr. Gainey did a good job over all and if he what to be a gm iam sure it wouldnt take long for someone to hire him... the major problem in monreal are the fans, they just drive each other crazy..guy want Maxim Lapierre to be given the C last season and alot of them are on this broad, people what to trade price because halak as had a good half a year, people whating to trade half the team for Vincent Lecavalier and his 10 mil price tag( you think gomez deal is bad vinny is worst)..and the worst is if bob did these deals and they didnt work out, the same fans would turn onhim again.. Anyway i think bob did a good job even if the fans that what Lapierre to wear the C dont agree lmfao

i know but iam bored..i like both these guys

i cant see us bring souray back, unless its a bigger package deal and we got to take him to make it work but i didint think the habs or bos was on his list...

Eklund *The Canadiens could make a trade by Friday I am told. I would not be shocked if Nathan Horton or Peter Mueller is a habs.

I really dont care if we trade both Andrei Kostitsyn or Sergei Kostitsyn as long as we can bring back a couple good player or picks ...i cant see Sergei Kostitsyn whating to be a fouth liner so you can say good bye to him and if Andrei is such a pro drama queen that he cant play because his brother is not on the team its time for him to pack his bags..i think both these kids got a lot of up side but right now they dont have the heart..i used to love these kids when they first got here..they played hard, fight and just give it their all but i feel they had lost alot of that somewhere..with the partying, drug dealer stuff plus i keep hearing that they show up at camp ever year out of shape...so if we can move them atit helps the team iam all for it.. trade i like to make is Andrei Kostitsyn and Metropolit for Jordan Staal price or halak...i like price more but if i was the habs i would hold on to both unless a super deal come along..i might trade halak at the draft and sign a cheap vet if i was the gm..but if halak the man i can live with that to..both get these guys sign and go from there.. plex i like the guy but if his not sign by the deal line try and trade him..ex.. plex for Sharp I really think we should move Roman Hamrlik to free up cap space and make room for one of the young guys coming up..

yea i think bob is burn out...with all the sh*t last year and then he put a new team together thats pretty good but been hurt all year..and now the price and halak thing...plex on firer..i dont think bob was thinking this was going to happen and puts him in a hard spot....bob as had some bad luck.I think he think the team need anew start and maybe someone new to look at what could be done.. or this could all be smoke and mirror and bob is still running the show from behind the scenes..this could just be a PR move...

I still got a bad feeling about all this....lets hope this all works out..

no way on tallon, his the guy who sign hossa and forgot to sign his RFA

me to

me to..i hope we dont have more drama with this team..

but as interim gm i cant see them letting him do alot..unless they are like you got 2 weeks to make somthing happen and if so your the gm

this is just really bad timing...their more going on then we know...

this cant be good......

I think we well make a trade before the break..i hope it is to make the team better in the next couple years..i hope we dont look for a quick fix.. I think bob well try to have a deal in place with plex over the break..if we cant sign him WE MUST TRADE HIM BEFORE THE DEAL LINE... He should get a high pick and a player i would think..

well if we are moving players for picks, yes...but if we make trades to make the team better now then that would effect the playoff race ex price or halak for sharpe.. i dont like rented players unless your a top 5 team..the coast is to big..

yes

it depends on what we give up right now we have players we dont need or what.. these are guys we can move(at least i think) Paul Mara Sergei Kostitsyn Georges Laraque Roman Hamrlik(to free up cash and make room for a young d-man) Tomas Plekanec(if we cant sign him) Glen Metropolit Jaroslav Halak or Carey Price(which i dont know if i would do unless it was a dael we couldnt pass on) Marc-Andre Bergeron i sure there more we could move to make different deals but this is not alot of youth if we move any of these guys and had to add one young guy of a pick to make a good trade..

i was thinking today we must trade Sk soon...for the reason that he can be a second line player on alot of teams and it does look like he ever get a real shot in montreal anymore unless we are hurt...i dont think he really what to be in montreal anymore..so i could see him go to the khl for more money and more playing time...so i think bob should move him to Edm..iam not sure what they give up for him but anything is better then nothing.. i really thing bob got to start looking at the big pic and find out what guys what to be here and the guys that dont and move them..Sk is easy to replace as he is mostly a 4th or 3rd line player for us(which i dont think is a good fit for him)..so he is easy to replace with one of the young guys in the ahl so why hang on to him..

listening to guy on cbc, i can see why the habs couldnt understand what he want them to do...he talks but i never understand the point his trying to get a cross..
