  1. Thanks to everyone for your replies. It was fun to try something a bit different for ATB this week. In any case, the article is up: http://habsworld.net/article.php?id=2441
  2. Je l'ai dit dans le game thread, mais je tiens à le dire à nouveau. Brunet a dit 'Lentesse' hier..... ayoye.
  3. Wow, the three stars are done for tonight and Around the Boards just needs some fine tuning for tomorrow. Turns out I can be rather productive when I skip my weekly Wednesday pub night. Of course, I digress as usual. In any case, I'd rather write-up a win, but here is my HW 3 Stars for tonight's game: http://habsworld.net...cle.php?id=2440
  4. Just want to point out that Benoit Brunet actually said "lentesse".... For those of you not fluent in French, I assure you, it's not a word.
  5. Good piece, Michael. Had I written the article, I would have said the same about AK46. For him to be out in the final 90 seconds of the game speaks to both his level of play last night and J.M's confidence in him. Love how he got knocked down 2-3 times but didn't back down. (Although I wish he'd drive the net a touch more)
  6. He dove. Hainsey did not actually grab him, his hand was barely on his shoulder. Scott Gomez was even making fun of him in the penalty box!
  7. One things the NHL has really done well over the past two years is the "History Will Be Made" ads. Here are the 6 new ones for 2011: http://www.hockeyfights.com/forums/f16/2011-history-will-made-commercials-157646/
  8. I disagree. The only thing remotely riveting about the lockout was all the learning it permitted about the CBA and its intricacies. Of course, as coverage has been more to hockey games and away from hockey business since then, my knowledge has slowly eroded. While I gladly digest books about hockey scouting and strategies, I'm not sure i'm up to stomaching a full review of the CBA. So having someone spell it out for me is, well, nice.
  9. And, once again, Brian you pop out some rule I wasn't even aware existed. Seriously, you should write 'The CBA and other NHL rules for Dummies'. I'd buy it, but i'd want a signed copy.
  10. So Cooke gets 14-17 games because he is a repeat offender. Bertuzzi gets none for his elbow last night. Am I missing something here? Didn't he, you know, end a guy's career with a punch to the back of the head?
  11. An undersized forward group and a generally undermanned team that already sorely needed help at the wing when the season started. I know this a positivity thread, but really, how is any of this surprising? Granted, getting whopped by the Bruins stings, but beyond that, this slump had to be expected.
  12. Il manque mon favori: C'est interessant pour le Canadien, Pierre.
  13. I had thought about that matchup, but it seems too many variables have to fall in place for it to happen. Regardless, it certainly would be entertaining. Beyond the players and personnel who have worked for both organizations, It's also interesting to note how both teams are often attributed the same qualities: Fast, skilled, not overly physical, players who dive a lot.
  14. Beyond that, I think they are a tad emboldened by the Boston media who, for the most part, seem to believe the Bruins can do no wrong. They simply will not call out Recchi for making such an egregious statement. And, with no players available to the media today, no one will have the opportunity to do so. Believe me, If a Canadiens player had said something so utterly dumb, they would have been lambasted by the press. Mind you, we had a collective cow when Pacioretty said he'd rather play in Hamilton then be a bottom-six forward in Montreal.
  15. Hello Forum members, So, amongst the above four teams, who do you want to see Montreal play in the first round? Why? Share your answers and the best ones will be used for next week's Around the Boards. Also, for a quick overview of the four potential opponents, be sure the check out this week's ATB: http://habsworld.net...cle.php?id=2432
  16. Wow. How do you embellish unconsciousness and a damaged vertebrae? And I am sure Dr. Mulder and company were embellishing when they intervened, as they were obviously solely caring about having Chara suspended. Give me a break. Beyond that, whatever happened to not stirring the pot. Why would Recchi intentionally light a fire under his opposition? Why give Montreal any extra motivation? Personally, if I am Claude Julien, I am none to pleased with these comments from one of my supposed veteran leaders. I would tell him in the future to, well, shut (use your imagination here) up.
  17. Salut SwissHabs, bienvenue sur notre forum. Toujours content de voir des francophones s'ajouter à notre groupe.
  18. It will continue to be so until the league defines clear punishment guidelines for certain infractions. I mean, how does Marchand get two games for an elbow behind the head and Cooke gets 14-17 ? The fact that he is a repeat offender cannot fully explain away the 700% longer suspension. In short, until such guidelines are put in place, it will continue feel like suspension lengths are picked with about the same randomness as lottery balls. And, unlike the lotto balls, there is no charming young lady on TV picking the numbers.
  19. Hey Brenn. Sorry, did not realize you had posted the link to the Marchand Story already. As for the Bruins opinion on respect and league discipline, all I hear is white noise. Lost of noise. Perhaps they should concern themselves more with not getting whopped by Montreal on a regular basis or not choking 0-3 series leads. But, of course, I digress as usual.
  20. Brad Marchand on Matt Cooke's latest hit: ""He needs to be taught a lesson. He's doing that stuff left, right and center. " (http://sports.espn.g...tory?id=6243524). Well, that's about as credible as having Cheech and Chong tell teenagers to 'Just say no', isn't it? On an unrelated note, I wonder if she's had her teeth whitened.......
  21. It's unbeliveable that he has never missed them before. Speaks both to him as a player and the organization's he has been with. Brian, I have to agree with you on the length, although I am hoping for something much harsher then that. I mean, if Gillies is a repeat offender, then what is Cooke? A career criminal? The fact he has only three suspensions totalling (I believe) ten games is ridiculous. In any case
  22. Euh, so I didn't get to watch the game last night. Did I miss anything good?
