so can we plan the parade yet? we should at least get a rough idea.

don't be too worried, for the most part our D pairings have never played a single game with eachother. just give them some time to gel.

character win

Metro?

metro is leading the team in points so far, did anyone have him in their pool. lol

komi has taken 5 minor penalties today...brutal

if the score holds who gets first star? stajan or the refs?

first he crosschecks the smallest player in the league, now he puches a guy when he's down. Komi is such a classy guy.

spread the wealth. 5 goals, 5 goal-scorers.

maybe he is just resting up for a playoff run.

prediction: habs will come out strong and play like the 06-07 sabers, fast and furious. 5-2 habs!

he would be a solid vet presence, and the big body we are looking for. if we have an injury in our top 6 he should be waiting by the phone. this is assuming that he won't just retire for good...

has anyone else been following the theo fleury thing? while I don't think he should be a top priority signing, if we can't find anything else I would take a look at him. I wouldn't be expecting him to play top 6 minutes or anything, but he could help some of our smaller forwards learn to play bigger than their size. Just a thought.

If the talent levels between the NHL and KHL ever come close than an all-star game or champ vs champ game would be cool. Wonder if Afiniganov will land in the KHL soon.

which is where prospal comes in.

here is another direction BG could go. http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=286037 Vaclav Prospal has been bought out, and I think we would be pretty smart to offer him a short term deal. He is 6'2 and could be the big winger that BG wanted to play up on the first line. He went deep into the playoffs 2 years ago (lets forget who he beat in the 2nd round), so he has experience. This would be a long term deal, he would just be keeping it warm until either Lat or Pac can step up. He is a 600 point man (okay 599), so we would have to dump some salary, but it would be worth it to have a proven guy up their with gomez and gio. Any opinions? (and don't give me that tampa reject crap)

I know there isn't much chance but you can always hope. Also I think you might be right about the canucks. There might be enough oiler and flames fans who come to just boo them.

http://phoenix.fanster.com/coyotes/2009/07...katoon-coyotes/ I can't put into words how amazing it would be to see my habs play in my home town. It would be nice to see the game coming to the heartland of hockey (sorry montreal). While it is supposed to be a home game for the coyotes there is no way that will happen. The other teams they would play would be the flames, oilers, canucks and devils. The only time there is a chance of the yotes getting some support is against the devils. I'm suprised they didn't pick the ducks or sharks to show Getzlaf or PM. I think Moen would get a crazy ovation though, so it would be amazing.

At least this will put an end to the Sharp to Toronto talk.

Yeah , I know that was stretching it. It just looked like I needed 1 more decent reason to give him a look.

I'm suprised I haven't heard anything about Sundin coming to Montreal yet. We were after him all summer last year, now nothing. Our needs haven't changed we still want a big second line centre, maybe his bad season scared everyone off. This is also a guy who could step into a leadership role until one of our younger guys is ready. Maybe he will take a pay cut to play on what some people consider a competitive team.

kind of sad the 25 goal scorer would be making the same as our sometimes enforcer BGL.

damn. The one weekend game in western canada there is a rider home game starting an hour earlier!

Just saying

He does play about 50 games a year more than BGL though, and if you aren't in the line-up you aren't winning fights. At least tommy is sort of multi-demensional.
