Wasn't paying close attention to Lats, so I can't say anything about your observations. but the passes, yeah, I've got to wholeheartedly agree, and the playing to the level of the opponents, it's still a problem this year, although less of one than last. But it's a concern. they have to start playing consistently, their game, regardless of who the other team is...

I heard him saying he spoke a few words, but then so does Koivu...

Ha! But seriously, I think it's a good idea to play Price the next TO game. Some teams just have a goalie's number. Even if Huet's our Number 1, I agree with CC, just accept it and try to get us the most points, so play the guy who has a greater potential of beating them...

watch though... once Koivu's retired and he gets the C, the clowns'll come out and start attacking him for not speaking French...

Typical By the way BRC, I also agree about Higgins. He's working like crazy!!! I wish he burried more of his chances, but it's not like he's Jan Bulis or anything, so still very good. And 6 goals at this point is not bad at all..

thanks JMMR! This was really bugging me, and now I'm relieved...

hmmmm... just checking the board now and I see we've had a "visitor" from TO drop by... amused is all I am about that... nothing more to add there... also, I guess you guys already pointed it out, (and someone said it's loser talk to blame the refs, but...) did you all see the non-call on Koivu being hawled to the ice on the same shift that Stajan scored the winner??? That really peeved me. It was the most obvious (and damaging) non-call of the night in my opinion... also, where was Huet second star? on CBC? On RDS, second star was Higgins...

Right now, any team we show up to play, we can stay in the game with them and have a good chance of beating them. If we don't show up, we'll lose... We just need to show up, and I'm afraid of overconfidence. I hope Les Boys stay level-headed... Remember, TO's the ones who beat us this season, not the other way around...

So true Cuke! and absolutely hilarious.... Still, I'm glad it was said on CBC, even though it was only said by Cherry, who is a clown...

I agree that Ryder's been working really hard, and that until he stops working hard, or we enter into a losing streak and he's still not performing, he should not be sat... He's putting in the effort, he's playing well defensively. If you want to try him on another line to give Kosty a chance on that line, I think that's reasonable, not really a serious punishment but just seeing other combinations, but I think this guy has come a long way from all our complaining that he was too "one dimensional" before when he was scoring all our goals, and he doesn't deserve to be punished.

Who gets the next C could really depend on timing. If it's 3-4 years away, Chipper stands a chance, otherwise, I suspect Higgy will get it if Koivu leaves before then. Personally, I hope Koivu retires with the Habs C on his chest, and then we worry about what a fantastic problem we have picking between our young leaders for the C. I still expect Higgy will get it, but we'll see.

that's HILARIOUS!!!

awe, that's so mean no seriously though... how dirty was Philly tonight??

question for those who were watching. I turned on the tv for about 2 minutes at the end of the second and Higgins looked like he'd got a cut lip or something. was he high sticked? What happened?

Good! Relief! He's been playing so well that it would totally stink if he was injured. I agree that the Flyers need a TEAM FINE!!!

is kovy ok?

I'm not watching the game... just saw someone right "Grabs" and I knew he was scratched, so I was like "wha??"

thanks for the clarification...

I thought Grabs wasn't playing???

For once, Don Cherry's strong opinions are accurate...

we didn't even really deserve the one we got. Hopefully a better effort next game...

What??? Did he score or something :lol:

I'm not watching... what did the "higgins takes his visor off" comment mean? was his helmet knocked off?

I guess he did!!! I felt bad writing it. He's one of my fav players!

yeah, that just hurts... Higgins is either snakebit or really has no finish. It stinks, cuz all other aspects of his game are *most games* amazing.
