justintb brings up a good point: even though Kovy and Ribs were hardly a match made in heaven, Kovy always sat beside Ribs on the bench and was chatting it up with him constantly. I just don't see any sort of connection between him and Plekanec.
-
I agree with some line shuffling...because this is not working right now. The failure to get the second 'insurance' goal killed us tonight.
-
Hmm...three comments on the fly sex analysis already.
Congratulations, shortcat...you're officially the board pervert!
-
but you would think that the bottle itself would act as a lens so as to focus in on the fly genetalia (just to make sure that they weren't just filming a soft core porn film on the fly).
GO :hlogo: GO!
Methinks you have thought through this whole fly sex thing a tad too thoroughly. -
Great news...this should get our offensive production up some.
-
The only move I'm truly pissed off about was a non-move, and that's not signing Perrault for a measly 500K. He'd look pretty damn good centering the second line IMO.
-
Nice job Kovalev. That puck was going in.
Pretty hard to fault a guy who's crashing the net like he's supposed to that just happens to get hit by the shot.
-
Other players that stood out for the wrong reasons tonight:
Plekanec: was back to looking somewhat lost on the offensive half of the ice tonight.
Ryder: CRAP! USELESS! But Carbo was giving him a heckuva lot of ice time?!?! Trying to get him to play through the rough patch maybe? I didn't like the strategy in a close game at all!
Didn't you find that he was getting himself in scoring position and taking shots tonight though? I can think of several good scoring chances he had off of the top of my head. I think he'll get on a roll soon...I found he coughed up the puck a lot and was the reason for several agonizing moments in the defensive zone tonight. He just didn't look confident out there. I wish he could go back to playing like he did in the first few games of the season, when he was playing aggressively and really showing some speed.
-
Rivet was a darned solid D-man in the old NHL...the new NHL is too fast for him to be anything more than a 5-6 pairing dman seeing spot duty. As for the comment about it not being about the 3hrs we see on TV during games...I don't care how good he may be for the dressing room, you can't pay big bucks for a 'character guy' in the salary cap era. If he can accept a reduced role and less money, then great...I'd be glad to see him back with the Habs. But if not, that money is better spent elsewhere.
Oh, and another thing....that little play between Koivu and Kovalev that resulted in a goal tonight....is it just me, or does that look like it has potential to be a set play that they should try often on power plays??? Koivu dishes, Kovy draws attention to him, delays, until Koivu bursts out in front of the net and turns quickly with his stick down for the deflection. I think it could work quite a bit...just like that damn down-low play that Sundin and Tucker run.
-
I am all for keeping Souray and Markov. But Rivet...unless he's willing to take a pay cut, no way. Sundin blowing around him is just another example of how damn slow he is...there have been far too many instances of that this season.
-
I can't help but remember that backhand move where Kovalev rang it off the crossbar, and wonder if that going in would have changed the outcome of this game. It was a 'turning point' type moment IMO.
-
Terrible call.
The hell it was...the ref let Souray away with two after the whistle crosschecks, and he went for the third??? Can't blame the ref there.
-
Souray is an idiot.
-
The first Cane to run Huet has to get beaten down badly...I don't care if it costs whoever does it five and a game and maybe even another game afterwards. Huet is our season...period.
-
Kovelev and Samsonov have been hurt by the lack of a decent center.
Johnson I'm not worried about...he's doing what he was brought here to do, and I suspect his points will pick up if Radek Bonk keeps playing as well has he has been lately.
Ryder: yeah, he's stinking it up and needs to start producing
Perezhogin: some consistency will pick up his points...he has played very well at times and probably deserves more goals than he has (there were quite a few posts hit if I remember correctly early in the season)
Plekanec: I don't expect much from this guy, as I have percieved him as a 4th line player for quite awhile now.
-
In my opinion, that was his last chance. Let's face it, Huet has won the job already. That may have been his last game in the tricolere.
You don't have to convince me....two bad goals tonight. Aebischer is an average goaltender AT BEST.
-
No reason for Aebischer to be laying on the ice prone for that nail in the coffin goal. I HATE his flopping.
-
wow... what a slap in aebi's face....
The way he's played in his past two starts, I doubt that he's surprised by the decision. The question is: how far does Carbo take 'riding the hot tender' if Huet continues to play great? Does he give him a rest, or does he wait until Huet has a mediocre or bad night to give Aebi a start?
-
I'm hoping Abby is solid, because Huet does need a tiny bit of rest now and then.....BUT.....should Abby look shaky, I hope that Carbo doesn't hesitate to yank him while the game is still within reach.
-
Too slow....the best option out there late in the game was Perrault, and that ship has sailed. Better to just make do til something worthwhile (maybe) presents itself at the deadline.
-
This is great news. Hopefully Higgins heals faster than expected, and we get to see our whole team playing together sooner rather than later.
-
He scored again last night...he now has 5 goals and 2 assists in 7 games. I can't help but think that he would have looked pretty good centering Kovalev and Samsonov.
-
I think that as long as Huet is playing this well, it shoud be three games Huet, one game Abby. Of course, if Abby stands on his head in that one game...you roll it over and give him the next start to make it 2-2. I like the idea of playing Abby more than a regular back-up...because I want Huet to be fresh for the playoffs.
-
Habs must win this to forget such ugly lost but I'll admit I want them to lose >.< Overall just wanted to show Carbo & Company that Abby is not the problem ... the whole team is actually without defence goalie can't make it without offence we can't win, I'll admit Abby wasn't that good the other night... but he needs another chance to prove himself hope he ain't going to wait that long ... and being bench =[
btw nicely made Spider Man NL with all the flags and summary for every habs game =)
Are you kidding me? You want the Habs to lose just so Abby can look better?!?! To hell with Abby, we need a win.

I like the line juggles....lots of offense generated tonight. With solid goaltending, we can definitely beat the Sabres on Saturday.
