  1. The guy doesn't hit.

    1st on our team in hits. 43rd in league. I'd like it if he hit more (top 20) but he is doing fine.

    Kosto has played more games but is 98th in the league.....

    He has to step it up.

    BTW, I read Habs are 2nd in the league for hits :huh:

    Lucic 1st in league, man that is who Gui should take hit lessons from.

  2. We would have to hope not to run into Washington or Boston in the playoffs

    As good as Boston is, I would LOOOOVE to see another playoff series with them.

    Exciting, spirited playoff hockey.

    With BGL to tone Lucic down and both teams fast paced offenses, it would make for an incredible 7 gamer.

  3. We are expected to contend for the Stanley Cup, and so far we are playing like shit, and if we continue to play like shit, we will fall in the standings.

    The Hockey Gods have been with us so far because our record really shouldn't be so good.

    Imagine our record if A Kost, Plex, Kovy line was good and if Higgy and Sergie would have played decent.. we would have a record like the Sharks.

    I ain't giving up faith

    :ghg:

  4. I think I'm gonna be sick.

    I could nitpick about several players, but it all comes down to the powerplay...it was the difference yet again. Without a decent powerplay, the Canadiens are a bubble team to make the playoffs. I want to rip on Carbo, but I'll resist the urge because the bottom line is this is BOB GAINEY'S FAULT, not Carbo's. Without a point shot good enough to score, and command the respect of the penalty killers to allow play off the half-boards and down below, the powerplay is not going to work. Any tweaks and juggling of personnel is useless....Bob Gainey needs to stop sitting on his hands and get a pointman who can get quality shots on net before it's too late. If he doesn't, he's an idiot....because the body of evidence that this team needs such a player is staggering!!!!

    The blame lies on Carbo.

    BG gives him players and it is the coaches job to get the most out of the players he has, and Carbo is not doing it.

    Because of Carbo's mistakes, it might force BG into making deals that weren't in his future.

    It's hard to blame Carbo because I feel he has tried almost everything he could have tried. The players aren't playing for him and that is when you make a coaching change and sometimes it isn't the coaches fault.

  5. I just don't give a -censored- about this team any longer. Well, I am outa here until next season

    Over react much :lol:

    This is more than a slump I agree, and if your players won't play for you any longer, you need to be moved. I love you Carbo but I too think it is the right time... And it prolly isn't your fault.

  6. There's no +/- given for a powerplay goal, so no, it doesn't favour PP guys and hurt SH guys (they get a +/- if they score a goal, but not allow one.)

    Wow, I did not know that :o

    Well I change my thoughts on the stat now

  7. Chill Out man. The team is playing well. And Andrei is picking it up again. And he's a plus 9!

    The reason he is plus 9 is because he is one of the few who plays the PP, and not the PK.

    That's why I hate plus/minus, it always favors PP players and gives a disadvantage ot PKers.

  8. I think I'm abandoning these game theads. The hysteria and bitterness every time we lose is just over the top.

    That's just Habs fans for you. We (including myself) always can find a negative in every game and sometimes blow it out of porportion. Not every single player will have a good game on the same night. One guy has a bad game, and we talk bout him.

    I can't blame you for you abandoning the threads but you need to know and accept that Montreal media and fans hate to lose, and always seek out the flaws.

  9. I heard Komi set his comeback for Dec 18th

    First Dandenault deserves a lot of credit for his play in replacement at D, 12 -14 minutes of quality play.

    O'byrne can now jump in, if anything he should have learned from Dandenault example is not trying

    to be everywhere and keep the game simple.

    I saw a glimpse of Brisebois in a interview and he looked 50 years old. Yes his play is effective playing

    19-20 minutes a game but he is wearing down.

    A D from Hamilton should be called up. Carle or Belle ??

    Belle or Weber

  10. We talked for weeks about the Habs' lack of heart, players not skating or finishing their checks, the team not showing up for 60 mins etc. D'Agostini seems to have brought a youthful enthusiasm which has resonated with the club. He's scored a few and created a lot more chances, five points in five games and a +4! Gotta love what he's doing ~ Go D'Ago!

    I agree, and when Lats and OByrne and Komi come back, and if Kovy gets on a roll, the chemistry will be huge. Lats and OB will be playing with heart I guarentee you.
