Three trades you'd like to see BG make by the Deadline
House11 replied to The-Habby2919's topic in Habs & Hockey Talk
I highly doubt Florida will trade horton for ryder and murray ... unless it was glen murray from 5 years ago. also Visnovsky is not an UFA next season .. he's got one more year left with the kings. -
that's awesome ! I'll laugh if they prosicute him... Judge " why did you do it ? " Goalie " because I wanted the ref to kiss my ass " Judge " you sir are not allowed to have another man kiss your ass in this state " Goalie " where are we again ? " Judge " Utah " Goalie " Ah Crap "

Great post alex although I'd like to see them be sellers. Alot of the fan base would not want to see that. Hopefully BG can find a happy medium .. trade some guys away and aquired replacments ... example . Sammy , Ryder ... send them off .. get what you can then aquire some guys for a playoff run. It looks like that would be the only way to keep everyone happy.

Depending on how the games this weekend go .. if they look lifeless again then I say open up the barn doors and let the UFA's out ( except maybe Markov ). SJ needs a defenseman ... Souray would look very nice on that powerplay of there's ... now there is one player they have that I think would be great in MTL who's not even on they're roster right now. STEVE BERNIER .. how good would he look on a line with Lats ? or on the other line. two franchophone powerforwards on MTL ?? B) solid

Saku is a great player ... great leader who is lost ... he's not the coach. He can only motivate teammates to a point. they have to do for themselves or it's never going to happen. Unfortunaly Koivu is not a #1 center .. never has been but he's asked every year to be and does his best to do it. You can obviously tell he's not enjoying his time on the ice .. and that can't happen ... all players play much better when they're having fun ... just like the average guy at work. They need to not practice and go and do something fun as a team ... get away from all the negative vibes. I mention that because It seems that all the benching and yelling isn't helping turn things around ... it's time to try something different.

well if Higgins would skate with his stick on the ice and body Volchenkov off the puck rather than put his stick in his midsection he wouldn't get called for hooking !!!!! -

Huet 19W 13L 3OTL 2.75 GAA 919 SA% 2 SO Emery 23W 13L 2OTL 2.38 GAA 922 SA% 4 SO yeah big fluke loser huh ... do you ever have anything nice or constructive to say ?? -
Since everyone is throwing out lines here are what I would like to see Lats , Koivu , Ryder ( Lats was great and so was Koivu when this line was together before Higgins came back ) Higgins , Plecks , Kovalev ( keep Pleks with Kovy ... Higgins would have to drive the net more to make this line click .. which is why Sammy did not work here .. too many perimiter guys on one line. Sammy , Bonk , Johnson ( was playing well before sammy was waived ... sammy would need to get his nose dirty ... it's what he needs to do. Begin , Lapierre , Prezhogin / Striet / Murray. Any Combo ... mostly Begin then rotate the others. Sammy is a good player but I feel Lats does more and derserves more time than Sammy does

Instead of shootouts ... they should just parachute a blindfolded monkey from the ceiling and which ever teams player is touches first is declared the winner ! Seriously ... I'm ok with shootouts ... but I'd rather have sudden death. After the third , zamboni the ice .. give the teams 10 minutes to rest ... and then play a 10 minute period 4 on 4 ... with the way penalties are called they're should be a couple powerplays to help get the game finished. Take away this point for losing in OT or bonus point for winning .. what ever they want to call it. It should be 2 points for a win and 1 for a tie .. that's it ! Like Fanpuck said .. get rid of the instigator rule and you'll see runs on star players go down fairly quickley. What I would recommend is if the ref feels you instigated a fight in the last 5 minutes of the game or in OT then you could get and instigator / game and a 10 .. which would carry over to the next game as well ... can't start playing again until it's over. This would basically be so things wont get out of control near the end of blow out games etc.

Unfortunatly the Habs are a team that can't figure out what to do ... they're a team at the fork in the road ... do they. A ) go for broke and trade away some picks / prospects to take a run at the cup ? B ) hang on to those picks / prospects and contiue to rebuild. And run for the cup with what they have. BG has always done a great job making trades and aquiring help without giving up alot. Take Ninnima , Sammy ... all that was given away to get them both was Ribs and some cash. The only prospect he's givin up is Hossa ( waiver problem ) .. and we all know how well he's doing in NY :puke: ... so unless BG bucks his own trend and starts to move some prospects to take a run .. it still seems like they're rebuilding. So all we're going to see is a team that's good but not great until the propects develop. I think BG fears to say the word rebuild in a city like Montreal for fear of a fan uprising. Hopefully this team will look very different next season as about half the roster needs new contracts and they're might be some really good UFA's in the offseason like Doan , Marleau etc.

no no .. I don't want it to just be Koivu .. the whole team needs to get back to basics. Skating hard for 60 minutes ... banging and crashing ... dump and chase. bang the other teams D to get them to turn it over ... and quality shots ! you know 5 on 5 stuff I also still believe this team is missing one key ingredent from being a legitimat threat ... a #1 center ! Unfortunatly they don't grow on trees. I like Koivu .. but he's more fit to be a 2nd line center than a 1st. The rest of the "core" of the team might need to be moved ... BG needs to try to go after the Marleau's and Doan's when free agency hits this summer. Or go after Forsberg this season if he's serious about taking a run. -

Unfortunately this is what happens when you have a fineness team ... they can't battle for wins. The team still lacks size and a willingness to drive the net ... some players do for a few games then go back to the perimeter after they take a hit ... take Koivu ... his style is a bulldog .. but he's playing like a poodle. They need to get back to basics ... bang , crash .. then bang and crash some more ... Koivu and Kovalev HAVE to lead the way. They have to get back to being more aggressive on the PK .. I think they've toned it down alittle too much lately . The powerplay is fine .. but they suck 5 on 5 ... why ? cause they don't get they're noses dirty ... they don't drive the net ... only a hand full of players finish they're checks ... as for the bickering / negativity in this thread ... I don't think anyone is implying that people here aren't fans ... I know it's a frustrating time to be a habs fan cause we all want the team to succeed. but some of the posts don't need to be posted ... be critical yes .. but don't look like a negative nancy that just put on an emo album and wants to share all of her negative thoughts with everyone to make them feel the same way. Just start talking about what you think is wrong and how it can be fixed ... I don't think many here want to read " this teams sucks " " the coach is and idiot " " I hope the refs are hit by a bus " etc. :ghg: -
congrats Maca

I'm so glad that the team bared down and fought though all the penalties etc to pull out a win ... during the first 2 periods they didn't deserve to win .. Abby kept it close and then they finally found they're legs in the 3rd. and stole 2 points which they desperately needed. Now if the team can build on this and play like they did in the 3rd in all periods then the sky's the limit. :ghg: -

Cube should have known better ... he had Crosby contained and facing the boards ... not the net .. wait for Crosby to make his move then attack him. -

If Komi takes his hand off his stick and wraps it around makin/staal one more time ... he's going to get nailed with a penalty -

Game is alot different when the habs start to skate and use they're speed ... they're finally beating Pittburgh to the puck and driving the net. look for Pittsburgh penalties to come if the Habs keep it up side note ... Soup and Koivu look like they can use some training wheels on they're skates -
