You have to get the points when you outplay an opponent- Because youyr not going to play like that all the time- this keeps up and there will be no playoffs for this team- This team again doesnt have many finishers and of course the same cast of poor starters

Yep still there some not a much though-- and yes KR Courney emb still around - Gap the Bruin fan is banned for i beleive life And im doing fine Im not as gung ho getting Tanguay- i read where supposdly jolkinen has asked for a trade- now that would be interesting

Chips is to me a better player he seems to have some instincts that Laps does not by the way how's it going Alex long time no talk

Greedy ! LOL wanting a decent team that can make the playoffs be consistent is good common sense !!

[ ." I agree. Gainey is sticking to a plan that will make the Habs a contender, not just in 2009, but for years afterward. I hope your not too dissapointed if it doesnt happen

I doubt he is going back to Edmonton There will be some bad blood between Smyth and Lowe they wont say it Publicly but i dont thinlk Smythe will be back To Late to react- Now thats Bob Gainey in a nutshell

Unless Gainey knows he can sign Souray If not GAiney and the team are going to be the big losers today I really dont understand What Gainey is thinking but he is the GM !!

Isles won this deal Smith still has a lot Game in him I much would have had Smith Than Forsberg When your owner wants to win this is what happens

Ryan Smith traded to the Isles MAn Gainey really screwed up today Smith was the exact type player this team has needed for years!!

he got a good deal with geico.. !!

Dont think gaborik will be playing tomorrow hopefully not anyways

tell me who of these players had the best camp last year? and if that same player has the best camp out of the younger players then by all means he should be on the big team. As far as what Zhogin can bring and has brought ? ehh not that impressed ! just too add Lats has more to bring to HABS than Zhogin!

One thing i and you can say is Souray would Like to be closer to his family! So your hope of Souray being resigned i think is a pipedream. 2 ways to go 1)He stays, plays and leaves 2)Gainey trades him

i really think you are making things much more complicated than what they are. The simplicity of the siutaion is plain to see now as how us fans see it and the way it actually is a whole nother thing. But i can only see it as the way it is presented to me. Souray is impending UFA HE can play out the year and go to a team and city that he is comfortable in with his family situation possibly being a factor (i think it will be a big factor) Gainey can ride it out and have him play this whole season for HABS which Souray might not have any problem doing. Culminating with GAiney giving Souray an offer to resign with the HABS And hoping Souray signs . Or Gainey can see there is a big Gamble holding on to Souray in this situation and trying to get as much as he can at the right time. I would think the longer Gainey holds on to him the less he will get!(if he goes this way)

2005-06 season - any player who is 31 years of age or older and has 4 or more accrued seasons as of the end of the 2004-05 season. 2006-07 season - any player who has 8 accrued seasons OR 29 years of age or older as of June 30 of the 2005-06 season. 2007-08 season - any player who has 7 accrued seasons OR 28 years of age or older as of June 30 of the 2006-07 season. 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 seasons - any player who has 7 accrued seasons OR 27 years of age or older as of June 30 of the 2007-08 , 2008-09, 2009-10 season. Now im not sure if im understanding this right But look at the ufa for 2007-2008 It sais 28 years of age or older as of june 30 of the 2006-2007 season Markov will be 28 this december! So wouldnt that make him UFA for 2007-2008 season?
