Tough night... What a STOPPPP!!

SamsoNOT!

Everyone's moves seem pretty slow for some reason.

Hmmm... Hmmm Hmmm

"Tirs de Barrage" sure hs a serious sound to it.

Sniff, sniff.. Lucky shot.. Zow ---eee!

UGH!

That Bob is a genus...

Gotta like the intensity of our lucky #13.

So why does Price dump the puck to da udder guys. Go mez Go!

Because he plays best under pressure?

D'accord. One thing I love about Le habs.... had to do it... is the full Canadien dimension of the fans. Refreshing.

This would not be a first with me unfortunately!

One advantage living around Toronto.. OK.. the ONLY advantage living in Toronto, is that I can always tune into something uglier! And as you probably heard Toronto WAS the reason Hamilton doesn't have an NHL team today. The owners figured that if Hamilton got an NHL franchise, Toronto would want one too.

True. Go Bob go! Thanks KoZed. Sounds a little familiar, but this too shall pass like stools in a lavatory, or something more poetic....

Well... I tried to add some excitement by buying a compressor to do some trim work at home. ANYTHING could have happened. But it didn't. I have been paying half attention to the game. The good, bad and ugly..?

Streit would look awful good back there alright. What a terrific player and there is no doubt that it was time for a leadership change. I was surprised by Kovy choosing another pad however, even one not too far from Montreal :-). I really admired the relationship that had built up between the two of them. And as to Carbs, he was another ballsy decision, one that didn't look too bad at some times, and quite frankly I don't have the competence to judge much at all about coaching changes but also noted a twenty shots against game here and there. One further critical element is the gel factor. No, not Souray's hair, but the big turnover...no not Timi Horton's ..but the third of the team that blew into town to pick up new linemates in a new system with a new coach. So, I will agree, with some effort, not to call the pope to begin beatification investigations, and I'd have to come up with two miraculous events to confirm it in any case. If we win the cup this year, the first one's in the hockey bag! I'd take a Gomez revitalization as a controversial second. If the 'new' atheists like Richard Dawkins are right however, then all is just mindless matter in motion which must include our hopes and thoughts in a purposeless universe. Being just acausal quantum events rooted in the Big Bang and nullifying even the possibility of free will and subsequent responsibility, this would let uncle Bob off the hook entirely.

Boy ; that was great Colin. You have expressed my view completely and I think it solid as can be. Mr G has been managing this team beautifully and with large cojones to boot. I have, like everyone, always admired this great man, but I think when our fan-tastic expectations arise for the tearm he helped make legendary, we can get a little short-sighted vis-a-vis, the real world in all its undocumentable complexity. Thank God for Uncle Bob!

I think the loss of Markov has been crippling...no pun intented on his injury, and the other D casualties just compound an already tenuous situation. I've seen some pretty good play out there at times, and it's great to see Price show glimpses of awesome, for in a real way uncle Bob certainly did make the commitment to his contributions for the long haul. It may just be my natural buoyancy, but I still think we've got a pretty good team and if Mr Gomez decides to continue his hockey career, ...who knows? Pleks has certainly returned to his marvelous form and good for him! Thre had to be a drop after the big year that wasn't where uncle Bob took the risks he had to take to give us a shot. I think he came very, very close. Who knows how well Price might have played if he didn't have all the pressure on his shoulders following the injury plague. Cheers

I think your read of this excellent and dedicated hockey mind is good. One can do only what one can do. We made moves to make a run that might have worked out, but after injuries just couldn't and we are not a fan base that allows tanking for three years to get a shot at franchise draftees. The Montreal path to success is a harder one. We actually want to see a HOCKEY game when we tune in; and we want our team to win. We don't and should not allow our team to bottom feed for draft gains. The game is hockey, and we want our team to play. I have been very pleased with the excellent shot Mr G prepared for us and the great hopes he inspired. He is now contintuing his careful, thoughtful program to give us a team that can compete today and give hope for tomorrow.

Does Montreal ever have a parade in Toronto?

I'll tell you when the fluttering stops....

Sniper..

Men watching 'yotes.

Funny thing....I thought you were making a clever joke, and a friend on the phone told me it was a real film!! I'm uncultured.
