Prime Minister Koivu

Who will we see on the first line next game? Which defenseman or 4th liner will step up and fill the wing position?

It is a sad day when Dandenault has to do the dirty work! Can Obyrne fight? Ryder getting the Brisebois treatment all night long. Booooooooooooooooo

At least the Habs are playing hard. We lack talent, it has never looked so obvious than it has tonight. Lafleur might be close to right...

I dream of the days when the Habs play as good as the Wings just did. Impressive.

I hope so! Unfortunately that probably means calling up Lapierre :zzz: and not a trade.

TSN is reporting that Ryder will play on the fourth line and get all his usual PP time. I guess it is Kostopolous that sits instead.

I think Smolinski has a no movement clause, I'm not sure if that prohibits waivers though. We could definitely move/demote/waive some other players on the team though.

The timing is actually perfect. There has been lots of talk about trading Huet and giving the job to Price and Halak. We will see how this tandem of young goalies works. If it does go well, does it spell the end for Huet in Habsville? I am actually very excited to see Price start playing #1 minutes.

My question is who gets sent down? We can't call up players when we have 2 in the pressbox every night. If we send Grabovski down then who sits? Smoke? I doubt it. Bouillon and Gorges so Obyrne can play? I doubt it. Begin? Kostopolous? Will replacing either of them with Laps be the answer? I doubt it. Ryder? Maybe for a game but do you think Carbo would sit him long term like Grabovski sits now? I doubt it. We have a log jam of third and fourth line guys. Will adding more fix our problems? Trade some of them away for #!@!@$% sakes.

I absolutely knew that after the Preds scored their first goal that we were going to loose. You could see it. This team plays not to loose hockey instead of to win hockey. The whole team should be ashamed of that game, including the coaches. Gorges was good, he has some very strong points to his game. Brisebois and Bouillon were the same as they always are.

Those lines give us an opportunity to score on every line.

I like those lines! Good creative effort Carbo.

Higgins' comments on Friday's game, "I'm sick and tired of this bullshit of wining one then loosing one. Good teams find a way to put three or four wins together in a row".

Thanks for the game thread Spidey! Go Habs Go :hlogo:

I wonder what would happen if Koivu and Plekanec switched?

We actually played a pretty good game. 5 on 3 for 4 minutes killed us. What can we do? Koivu is struggling, I'm not sure what is wrong with him. Higgins doesn't look so good either. Nashville tonight, at least we are at home.

Price will lead the charge in to a new record against NJ. Lost for 4 years straight we are due for a win. :hlogo:

We don't need Recchi. I really don't see what he would do for us or even where he would play. I would rather have Latendresse continue to learn and grow on the top line than have Recchi there.

He has skipped all practices since that fall so he must be hurting somewhat.

I hope so but we have sat back on 1 goal leads every time. :puke:

RELIEF

Come on Price

My heart is going to give out

Sundin swallowed it

You can't be surprised that Toronto scored. :nono:
