It seems that Sergei doesn't fit too well with Kovalev and Plekanec. He looks a little overwhelmed being thrust onto that #1 line. I was hoping Carbo would swap Higgins for Sergei in the 3rd period - Higgins played a pretty good game and had good jump.

Tanguay is the man who's making that line go. What hockey sense he has.
-
Hope it's just his foot bothering him, but Koivu looks slow out there.

Montreal Canadiens vs Detroit Red Wings

I agree with that Cerebus.... -

With all due respect, I thought Sergei stunk... as he has for all the pre-season (except maybe one game). I'm concerned ... there's something up with him. He could be the cut that lets MaxPac stay. -
You're right in that Pacioretty doesn't look like your typical Italian name... if it was Pacioretti, then I'd be inclined to say it was Italian. The name could've very well started out as Pacioretti back in the "old world" and the spelling of it became "anglicized" once his family moved to America. I know a girl named Pratz whose family comes from Calabria in Italy and their name was originally Prazza, but over time it got americanized. Or his family might be from some northern border area of Italy where languages/cultures are more mixed with French of Germanic influences. Could have Corsican/Sardinian roots too... Or the name could be of Romanian origin... some pretty odd names and spellings over there. Plus he has the dark complexion of those people. I guess only Max knows!

Could very well be. Lapierre, with all his new added muscle, is not doing a damn thing this camp - he looks useless. With Lapierre, we have 3 "pests" - we certainly don't need that many. Having Chipchura on the 4th line would instantly inject a bit of offense and playmaking on that line... of which there is basically none.

Well, not really bud.... for instance the correct pronunciation of ol' Dino Ciccarelli is "Chick-a-relli". So one "C" is all you need in Italian for "tch" sound.

Tonights game vs Detroit on radio anywhere?

I agree Fanpuck. This is not war, it's still just a game. -

Did Murray Wilson on CJAD just say that Carle played for his brother Doug in San Jose?? He's got the wrong Carle. -

Canajun replied to Canajun's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
ah great thanks! I went to CJAD's site an hour ago and the game wasn't on the schedule... didn't think they were covering it. -
Anyone know of any internet radio station broadcasting tonights game?

Montreal Canadiens vs Buffalo Sabres, Roberval, QC Sept 23nd

OK buddy, I'm counting on you to be right -

Has anyone else noticed Sergei K? Something seems to be not quite right with him.... I don't know if it's nerves or what. Two stinky stinky games in a row. Giveaway after giveaway... making risky, low-percentage passes much of the time and poor decisions with the puck. I'm just a little concerned. I think I'd like to see him on a different line than Andrei... he just seems to be looking to set up his brother with a cross-ice pass all the time. I'd like to see him develop his own identify and independence out of Andrei's shadow and on a different line. -
Montreal Canadiens vs Boston Bruins, Halifax N.S Sept 22nd
Canajun replied to johnnyhasbeen's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
I failed to notice Cerebus, sorry. He did seem like he was trying to do a bit too much. He tried to show some offensive skills and had a couple of brutal giveaways. It does seem like he might have a *bit* of an offensive game though. -

Canajun replied to johnnyhasbeen's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
True, it was only one game, and I'm sure he was fairly nervous. -

Canajun replied to johnnyhasbeen's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
I was at the game last night... Henry had a scrap (against some "Bitz" guy). Henry won. He's a decent fighter. In a nutshell, we iced basically an AHL defense last night (Hamrlik was out early with an injury). No wonder we gave up a million shots and 8 goals. The only defenceman to play half-decent was Gorges. The rest (especially Valentenko) were pretty porous. -
Sundin: will he sign here? (Take 2)

I like the French/English translations that babelfish gives: "...and the young lady decided to taste with the stick of hockey of Cristo" LOL!

Yeah that too. But I thought for sure it was Yvon who would say ""Ohhh, ma parole!"...

I'm gonna miss the "Ohhh, ma parole!"

Has nothing to do with Shawn Belle but.... Lindros is a Swedish name?? Or is he Swedish on his mother's side?

I'm surprisedand a little apprehensive by this move with Pacioretty. Currently I think there's no need to rush him along. Why not let him have a dominant year in college and *then* move him up to the AHL?

Guys, if Sundin turns us down, do you think Bob should give some consideration to pursuing Forsberg for a 1 year deal - assuming the man can get healthy over the summer? It might be worth the gamble - we wouldn't be giving up any players, and if/when Forsberg gets hurt (and he *will* get hurt), then we just revert to our non-Sundin line-up with Chips taking 3rd line centre and Koivu bumping up to 2nd line centre (which would likely be our lineup anyway if we don't get Sundin). Then again, if we try this, we lose our cap space to try and pull off a mid/late-season trade for a legit #1 centre. Any thoughts?
