Easy Ryder

Here's a link in french however. http://www.rds.ca/lhjmq/chroniques/295295.html And he's has good defense as offense. I say pretty damn good pick with a 5th and i really hope it kicks Habs to draft from Q and Canadian junior program. Instead of overdrafting US prospects go where the gold is. Again great season by Dumont. give him time i'd say 3 years with Boucher and we have a heart and soul third line player to chip in 20 goals. And possibly more as it could only be the tip of the iceberg in his case.

Gabriel Dumont is at 48 goals with two games remaining LHJMQ regular season. I say is chances are good, along with Couturier whi is just incredible to score 50 goal. Good luck to him but luck is not how he scores goal it's with the knife between the teeth. Drummondville has a 14 game winning streak and they'll bring it to playoffs. 50 goals is something we didn't see of a habs prospect for a very long while, good to see. And yeah he is a Guy Boucher favourite since he was a peewee.

It's ok when individuals get carried away with passion, but in Montreal it becomes mass hysteria as soon as they see a new savior. This is why i think we have cracks in the foundation when high potential prospects don't live to people expectations, ask Price about it....

Hold the horses there, Subban in the same attitude as Ovechkin ?? Reminds of Bobby freakin Orr?? No superstar ever had the attitude of Ovehkin , ever. I don't think any grinder ever had Ovechkin attitude. If you want to find a look alike contest with Bobby Orr you'd have to consider maybe Doughty in ten years but even for Doughty it's a huge task, come on P.K is playing AHL very good right now, that is where we are with him. 1966-67 Calder Memorial Trophy 1967-68 James Norris Trophy 1968-69 James Norris Trophy 1969-70 Art Ross Trophy 1969-70 Hart Memorial Trophy 1969-70 Conn Smythe 1969-70 James Norris Trophy 1970-71 Hart Memorial Trophy 1970-71 James Norris Trophy 1971-72 Hart Memorial Trophy 1971-72 Conn Smythe Trophy 1971-72 James Norris Trophy 1972-73 James Norris Trophy 1973-74 James Norris Trophy 1974-75 Art Ross Trophy 1974-75 James Norris Trophy 1974-75 Lester B. Pearson Subban can be compared with Subban and must play like Subban, with risk comes mistakes and he'll make plenty of them. He will be a bust if the expectations are too high and coaches/fan loose patience with him. He may finally be forced to calm his temper and then he loose his edge. People just compared Weber and Streit and what happened with him? Even his big shot is not a concern anymore.

Moore, Moen and Darche show how professionnal hockey players matures up, understand their role keep it simple is key to a team who want success. Having 1-2 players like Lapierre, Maxwell, MaxPac 40 games this year running around doing a little bit of everything to try to please the coach, the fans, themselves doesn't help the team. It's all about the young players learning their role, their limits to help the team. Lapierre ? well, even if Maxwell stinks nobody misses him. A wanna be pest style doesn't help him, if you'r a pest stand by and eat the punches. He should come back with a hard working attitude, keep his head on the play and not everywhere else. He has enough speed and abilities to be successful in the NHL but he has to focus on his game.

Ottawa stinks on the road and when the goin get'S tough Spezza disappear. Leclaire is a major choker and their coach has a haircut that annoys me even worst than Joel Bouchard.

Miracle trip needed those points badly. These games against West are huge wins for game against. The other teams have to face division rivals and split the points. Speaking of them... Boston lost Savard in their best looking game of the year. Stinks for Julien but without Savard, Boston has no power play. Rags and Sens coaches are losing it. Torto is making Torto comments pointing Gaborik and Cluston is blaming referees for everything, not good for them, Gaborik is closing like a shell under pressure and Ottawa goes on the road for 2/3 of their last games and they disappear on the road. Ottawa plays home 23-9-4 road 13-16-1. Habs have to play a couple of good home games and it looks good. Almost positive out here on a monday morning. I'd say target Ottawa, they are the weakest of the team ahead of them.

I don't know but if he's suspended and O'byrne ends up in a 4th line to dress Mara, out west then the decision not to bring a body for D'Agostini can cost a game. Remember O'byrne on a 4th line looks like a guy who lost his purse.

After more than 60 games he didn't mould to his player and no player really plays his mould with success. He talks and acts like someone in control and there is no sign of what he preaches really goes in the players head. i think they don't give a schluk, just do what ask and take the paycheck. Martin says that he wants puck possesion team. When do we see a player keeping the puck in order to control it when the line changes ? Never they dump it, the other team attack. Why is this team horrible on 5-5 because they never create a 2-1. Most of these player Gionta, Cammelleri, both Kost and even more Plekanek have success in these situation. At equal force they are not big enought to force the zone to have a scrong chance. And we want a captain, someday if possible if he finally knows his team enought to name one.

They left for West Coast with 7 D and 12 forwards in game shape. They 'll save every penny they can. No call

Pampers are piling 2th rounder and unloading crappy players. Basicly they (MArtin) traded Jay Bou for a second and a third. And Leopold is > Moore didn't say i'd take Leopold but in Pittsburg he's a fit if they want to trade one D to have something that looks like a winger. Pens GM makes moove for the run, Montreal amkes moves to patch holes.

+ Markov has a full week to rest his ankle. + + + these guys are good. All the missing guys have joined the quest for gold.

What this team can't afford now they spent it long term with middle rank players that have not even been chosen to represent their country in the Olympics. Hamrlik- Spacek or Zbynek Michalek, Roman Polak, Dan Hejda, Miroslav Blatak ?? If they deserved near the kinf of money they are getting paid by MTL, they would play for their country over these players. Gomez, Gionta were not what the US team needed. So just the possibility of losing Halak or Plekanek just because Bob overpaid players to fill holes not filled by the draft system is very frustrating.

We will see some Pronger, why ? cuz Boyle really stinks in this tournament. IF Pronger doesn't go too far, play Hall Gill style he will be useful. Tough night for Slvakia against Norway, i wonder if they'l have some juice left for Sweden.

Luongo in net, + D's moving the puck + cheat the red line for breakaways. That should do it for tonight. And for Friday i'd wish Pronger makes them eat some sherwood and make Markov feel real pain in the ankles, a good cheap shot or an elbow Richard's style. Man i wish Grabovski played to hurt the basta... . You'r heart for your country why don't you suffer for it a little bit. Red, red and blood red nation.

Dominic Moore.

Germany would be a gimmy with any team but i will watch it with apprehension. After that it's the Russians. Ouch. If they had won it would have been Gimme- BIO or Switz. Can say they are taking the easy road. I'd say break the Nash-Crosby duo, the SJ line. Play the guys who really want to win. Richards- Crosby - Heatley Marleau - Toews - Nash Bergeron- Staal- Iginla Perry- Getzlaf- Morrow extra Thornton. AND Luongo.

Brodeur is over reacting on the ice, he did put a great fake to fall but the referee didn't buy it, it caused a stumble and he save it by poking it. Second goal was a show too. I don't know if he thinks it's just a all star game but risks like that with a defense that doesn'Y have a clue of what their golaie will do his a major problem. Please Lou ongo for the third and the tournament. His style his easily moldable with any hockey team.

It's time to show, what their made off against USA. Last game was really painful and even more painful knowing Switzerland had to go in overtime to beat Norway. Richards on Crosby line ain't a bad thing, it's Nash ability to be fed for goals that i question. Nash much like Kovalchuk make goals for and by himself. I don't see why and how he is a good fit with Crosby. Iginla seemed a better fit with a simple game plan drive and shoot the net. Time for Thornton to stop trying to play perfect. This line has stats but it's really Marleau that makes everything going on there. Getzlaf, Perry, Staal wake up !! And all D'S have to be more accurate in hitting the net.

Keep them both! , don't get rid of an asset that could get this team to playoffs, best save % whatever trophy name for this year. I don't give a pennywise think to the long term value on this shot. Halak is the only member of the habs that could change them from a lousy team to a cendrillion team. Gauthier job is to sign these guys Price and Halak the best market value to be able to trade someone some day, not now ! Yeah he will have to unload some cash somewhere, to do that, so what ? It's his job.

I miss sleeping time cuz up two night in a row to watch Slovakia. Those were the best games yet and Halak had a big influence on both. He did very well against the Plekatcheck but he was humphh against Russia. And he is too small to play two night in a row...yeah yeah. Anybody still want to trade this guy ?? Jaro the hero

They better taking stop those stupid penalties. I think and hope they finally understood in the third that they do not have to bully to win games. Yeah they can hit hard, Doughty did some very nice hits. Pronger should be use in the Olympics has Hall Gill should be use in MTL. - D is my biggest concern, that and the SJ line. + Crosby line, Getzlaf and Perry. Luongo.

Hamrlik had no more fuel in the tank, zilch, zero,nada. Would it be a reason to fire bullets on him ? No, he has been over used all season long and still is. These two weeks will be a relief for the fans. We will have good hockey to watch for a change + Gauthier cannot mess the team more than it is. Go Canada.

A right handed center for free :Lundmark... oh wait we just got a big right center, on "no Moore" is left and he's not big. and second round pick usually sounds with LHJMQ, way to go to draft local. I wish we had a great east coast pro scout to make a steal, but we don't and didn't have for the last 6 years.

These babies are not millionnaire. They still working on their energy, confidence in themselves and appetite to win. 3 days with the dumb man, fuse out delay, Sunrise garbage disposal happy, overrated loser, yeah they are due to see Doc Boucher again. Yeah he can kick *ss too without the sarcasm, if the team lose it's the whole team losing not the 4th line.
