Worst case for us, a 2 minute penalty is a joke

We have been getting shafted but we have also taken some ridiculous offensive zone lazy penatlies. What Emery did should have been a double minor at worst.

So much for Samsonov having a huge game tonight

Newbury just got knocked the ###### out in the Leaf game by Petrovicky

5-5

5-4 LEAFS

When is rock bottom, dropping out of the playoffs?

You keep waiting for the luck to turn, for somebody to do something special. A big save, a big hit, a big goal....and it happens...and.....nothing. We are not firing the coach, and if we do not make a deal,what is going to turn the tide??? When is somebody going to step up? I mean the Leafs are down 3-0 and scratch their way to a 4-3 lead and we take a 2-2 tie and mail in the 3rd?

I still wonder why they have not put Koivu and Kovalev together for any period of time, They lit it up in the playoffs in 2004 and the 2 of them with Perezhogin started off last season like gangbusters. Worth a shot, Non?

I have been over all the probabilities and at one point to get to 93 points which was a playof spot last year we had to essentially collapse to get there. Guess what, we have no more margin for error. A .500 finish would squeak us in at an 8th seed maybe, but when you are fighting for 4th all season that does nto seem good enough. WE need to recapture the magic or we will be the same old Montreal Canadiens of the last 10 years. Hoping for a 1st round upset and getting balsted in the 2nd round. I am getting used to it. The years of 95-110 points are quickly fading from my memory.

I'm not whining. I am pointing out that complaining about your team's performance is normal. This team is far from perfect, and I do not waste 82 nights a year watching them to put my head in the sand when they stink the joint out or play with a lack of passion and watch the coach benching players left right and center and placing guys on waivers in a lack of understanding of how to fix the problem. Nothing is working, so that leaves 2 options. You let Carbo try to work it out and put your faith in your farm system for next year if he fails to figure it out this season OR you try to make a deal to save the team this year. Gainey will not Fire Carbo, so somebody has to pull something out of their hat. Anything can happen, the season is about streaks. But last season we were 5 pts worse at this point but we also ripped off a 9 game win streak at the end of the year. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/players/data03/00005633.html RICK WAMSLEY Loved Denis Herron, Rick Wamsley and Steve Penney when I was a kid.

I think overating our talent is probably the biggest problem on this team. This season began to fall apart when Huet stopped stealing wins. And if he does not step up and steal us some wins down the stretch like he did last year. Guess what, we willl be not watching playoff hockey this season. We rode Huet and special teams for 3 months and now 2 of the 3 have disappeared. 12 PPG against in the last 6 games? If we had cut half of those out we would not be having these discussions.

If you define a fan as somebody who never questions their team and their management and blindly follows at all times then the Greatest Fans in the World are LEAF FANS, not habs fans.

If it is the players then what is the coach for? Why did Gainey turn a team around that was stinking the joint out for 2 months with Claude Julien the great coach of the Devils? Maybe you coach to your players and not your system.

Desperate, not stupid. That is a move from a desperate coach. Carbonneau is not going anywhere, and seems clueless as to how to get this thing back on track. Barring a jolting move this team is in big trouble. This started 6 weeks ago as well what do you want? Us not to lose more than 2 in a row all year? into well they had the flu. into we have a cushion, and has regressed into where the hell is our first line? what happened to Huet? and now fighting desperately for 8th not 4th.

And I'm FREEEEE, FREEEEEE FALLIN

This team is really starting to piss me off. 2 PP Goals against vs Carolina 3 PP Goals against vs Pittsburgh 1 PP Goal against vs NYI 3 PP Goals against vs Pittsburgh 3 PP Goals against vs Toronto 12 PP Goals against in their last 6 games

They will not attempt to recall him. It is as simple as this, they are sending him down knowing that if somebody claims him his salary is off the books and that if nobody claims him his salary does not count against the cap. Either way it is a clear indicator that they are freeing up salary to make a move. He will finish the season in Hamilton if he clears. Win/Win if you ask me.

They play with that type of effort every night and they will finish in 4th or 5th. Nothing like a little anger to get you to raise your game. They outshot a team who essentially had a half period PP. They outworked and outplayed them We have not been able to say that much in the last 6 weeks. I also would love Lapierre to turn into a superpest. I loved the fact that he caused all types of shit, I am also intrigued into what Carbo has seen in him to give him the responsibilty of shadowing Crosby. A tough loss for sure, but a great motivational tool to raise the level of their game. I think we just turned the corner boys!!

We would love it because we would be getting the calls of course!

THe Habs have turned it up since the 7 minute PP, but I got a feeling that Koharksi will show up when we least need it in this game

McGuire rarely has something nice to say about Montreal. Last year on their playoff run he kept saying they will not make it. Then this year he said Huet had been figured out and that Souray was not good enough for the NHL. And now he is all over Crosby's jock all night. Typical Mcguire

of course, hand us a PP to even it up...add another 7 minutes if you want to even it out a-hole!

SCOOORES!!! Up yours Koharski!! Have another donut

This has everything to do with the Crosby buttend in the first period.
