Ok...I hate Koharski as much as anyone....but Koivu and Begin both deserved their penalties. Koivu should know that you can't just wrap your free arm in front of someone (that in itself will get you the gate every time), let alone use it to mess with their stick. Begin's stick caught a guy in the mouth...pretty hard not to call that. A lack of concentration on the parts of Koivu and Begin cost us the game, not biased officiating.

My vote goes to Zednik...he just doesn't seem to have that explosive speed that made him a threat anymore.

All I have to say is this: YEEEEEHAAAAAA! (Amazing what solid goaltending can do for a team, eh?)

JR is the best personality in the NHL by leaps and bounds. He has a 'Cherry-esque' charisma that makes people watch what he's doing whether they love him or hate him.

This should give the power play a shot in the arm.

I've seen justintb play...he's 216lbs with great speed...don't be so sure.

So far, Gainey has been nothing short of incompetent. I understand that mortgaging the team's future to scrape by into the 8th spot only to get steamrolled in the first round would be stupid. But why not make some small, lateral moves to change the team chemistry a little? Inject a few players that are hungry to prove themselves into the lineup, and just maybe it will be contagious. It certainly couldn't hurt.

Ok...so the Habs lost...but at least Huet played well enough to keep them in the game. Can't say that about Theodore too often.

I'm all for removing the max curve rule...anything that increases scoring is fine by me.

It's a valid question...I think Cole could put it up over his shoulder.

Assuming Erik Cole is the shooter....

The team quit tonight after they realized it was going to be a typical Theo effort. He has to go...he's bringing everyone down!

Theodore is a bum...plain and simple. The guy repeatedly makes mental mistakes that result in bad goals...which in turn deflate the rest of the team and lead to blowouts like the one tonight. The Habs quit tonight, and with Theo playing the way he did, can you really blame them? Why knock yourself out when you know the goalie is going to lose you the game no matter how hard you play?

If Perezhogin could ring Sundin's bell the way he did Primeau's, he'd be on my Christmas card list for life!

Nolan looked slow in the clutch/grab NHL...can't imagine how bad he'd look out there now.

I think it is time for Zed to go. He has been lacking the speed that made him dangerous in the past this season, and appears to be going through the motions more often than not. Zed has been a passenger too many nights, floating around contributing nothing. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out....
