  1. Good point, Strumm....comparing Koivu to Yzerman is preposterous....isn't even on the same level.
  2. Watching Koivu half-ass it for most of that game tonight, and seeing him take yet another stupid penalty in the offensive zone, I have to wonder why he got that contract.
  3. All in all, the game was just far too low-energy for a home game. Too many mediocre efforts....Huet stole them a point tonight.
  4. Damn...we got a point, but it should never have gotten to a shootout. Habs couldn't build much flow in this game because of stupid penalties.
  5. I can't believe that Souray took such a selfish penalty late in the game...and that Bob didn't bench him as a result!
  6. Souray is useless from the point on PPs more often than not. I think we oughta try Kovalev on the point when it's 5-on-3, the way the Rangers do with Jagr. Seems to work quite well for them.
  7. I too think the Habs overpaid...any chance of getting a real #1 like Jokinen are out the window now it would seem.
  8. Sorry, Marty....but we're at a point in the season where we can't afford to experiment with a shaky goaltender to try and rebuild his confidence. If he wants to voluntarily accept an assignment to Hamilton to try and find his game, that's fine...but the Habs are in a dogfight to make the playoffs.
  9. That bum Koivu lost it clean....if you're sick, don't play!
  10. Great to see Kovalev finally shooting the puck more.
  11. Bonk has looked great out there tonight! On the flip-side of that equasion, Koivu looks pretty much useless.
  12. As long as Theo doesn't test positive for nandrolone when the NHL tests him (and I get the feeling they will...soon!), then he has done nothing wrong.
  13. If there are wiretaps that prove Gretz knew about it, then that might be enough to get him barred from coaching. Can't very well have someone who likes to put action on games be the guy deciding who gets the start in goal and who plays/who sits. Sure, maybe he hasn't bet on hockey...YET...but can they take the chance that he won't?
  14. I don't think that the Habs can afford to pay Koivu any more than 3-3.5mil at the top end of whatever contract they offer him. There are too many other voids to be filled to invest too much into a guy who is realistically a #2 center. If they can get Koivu at 3, then have 4 or 5 left to offer for a real #1....the team would only need one solid stay-at-home no frills defenceman to be a serious threat.
  15. 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.
  16. My vote goes to Zednik...he just doesn't seem to have that explosive speed that made him a threat anymore.
  17. All I have to say is this: YEEEEEHAAAAAA! (Amazing what solid goaltending can do for a team, eh?)
  18. 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.
  19. This should give the power play a shot in the arm.
  20. I've seen justintb play...he's 216lbs with great speed...don't be so sure.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
