Really..seems so out of character for you to say that. Well hope undermanned Bruins (whom Habs toyed with last week) shut out of Blues also has them rattled.

OK, so which prospects should be doing better but arnt and you are sure it can be simply due to poor coaching? Beaulieu is a bit squirrly between the ears and will likely be joining LL flippin burgers in a few years. Tinorid is big and simply need more strength and quicker feet/decision-making (nuthing to do with coaching) etc etc (not that i truely believe in Lefebvre but got to be argumentative and advocate a bit for him) Would a new coach really make any significant difference to prospect development?

It is too easy to simply agree, but you guys and are most likely bang on and Lefebvre isn't head coach material, but wont know if Lefebvre has the backing of Mgmt or not until he actually is fired.

Could be a super game. (any changes to PP practice units I wonder or hope so?)

I think Habs showed up to play in 1st period, but a certain #28 giftwrapped one goal and forwards/#28 were like walking dead on 2nd goal (Pacioretty fault mostly) Then down 0-2 they did not star and mount a huge pushback, it happens. I really like how many point to even loss as 'bad bad bad', but have been very few of them and how bout 3-0 vs Jets when they were playing well, Bruins got beat all over the ice all game long, Philly likewise and Detroit not bad neither, but .........lose one game and people are climbing out on ledge and piling up all the negative crap they can as example how non-contending they are. FICKLE seems word to describe it.

But wernt they in a big losing streak also was just after Gainey gave him extension wasn't it? Always liked him as a player, but I think they said he wasn't good communicator or had big swelled head getting in the way?

He aint half the d-man he was, even as a frickin rookie.

So this weak pretender team, just needs a tweek or two to be a Cup-contender? Hmm. And which Anglo coach(s) are available that would be upgrade?

I kinda agree with, but Leblanc is simply not NHL material is he and even Bowman wouldn't of helped him. You know d-men offense in junior is hit and miss to transfer to pros. Pateryn way overachieved 1 1/2 years and seems back to norm now and Dietz hasn't even got 1 yr pro under belt. Why Andrighetto scratched was supposedly due to work effort, maybe defensively (where most agree he needs most improvement) he wasn't committed? But, I still think Lefebvre has blessing of Habs Mgmt to carry on, as is and keep following 'some' master plan, like going with 7 d-men directly after Habs find success with it, coincidence, no. Maybe Bergevin-LaCarriere are not pleased, but I just don't get the feeling they are too upset and when interviewed a couple games ago at Dog game, Bergevin showed zero indication of criticizing coaching (unlikely to voice that but just didn't seem concerned one bit).

Bozon (and Reinhart) gets 1g 2a in 3rd period, but still lose in blow out. 7games 4g 9pts. Bout same as ever (203 WHL games and 231 points)

But a loss 2-3.

Yes, Alex centering Sekac & Eller/Gallagher/Pacioretty (Wiese even?) is all fine. Something different works for me.

Yes I never thought he was extraordinary, but some of his roster moves which pissed off or confounded many was too funny (to me anyways) And could I care less what kind of coach is passed the cup from Pacioretty? Results based job and why 99% of coaches don't last long with same team. (also funny was that this is Therrien's 2nd kick at can, maybe next coach will be older-wiser Carbo? )

Nice to hear Bennett being up ice around opposition net, he can really skate well.

on 2nd thought I wonder. would it be better to simply combine Habs Prospect treads, simply under Hab Talk just by looking @ #s, 20,000 or so replies since created, does that need to be a whole separate section? Might it get more play if simply another tread on main area? No offense to anyone, just a thought.

Rene scores, Rene scores on 5 on3 PP holy crap!!! then Rene backhands a puck into Tangradi's face, he simply isn't all 'there' is he and concussion really screwed him up or simply was never a bright lad?

Belief in some "superhuman controlling power" sounds all well & good; but I would prefer to have a hard hitting, puck moving top 4 d-man on Habs. Stompin Tom also would suffice for me. Would kind of be like the Canadian version of a hot Faith Hill on Monday Night Football.

I got em ready every game (but they also double as my Tequila and Rum cozy's) and I bet on Habs not matter who opponent is nor how bad a matchup.

And what place is Chicago in?

And how did Santino's temper help him in The Godfather II and (ugg) III. Phaneuf and Komisarik were both bullies, till Chara challenged them every chance he got and they showed how gutless bullies really are and both are now washed up at young age.

Would like to say I got a good suggestion or two to help you, but sorry simply lack imagination and got no complaints Matt.

And I thought you were a convert!

Being out shoot 22-10 and now Jensen scores and Dogs down 1-2 with 6minutes left in 2nd.

Yes Eeyore, you are correct and consistent.

Galchenyuk only had 3:27 on PP last night, most of any forward. And Plekanec's line had most TOI. (your quote was with regard to Eller-Sekac playing PP time, not Alex)
