Psycing

Frankly, I think it is quite obvious, to a point, why lets say, America has MANY more Medals than Canada. Population. Canada has merely 30 million ppl. America has what... 300 million?... I'm not sure on exact numbers but, I'm sure its a ton more. In this world, most athletes are born. By that I simply mean, there are ppl who are capable of being champions, and those who are not. When you only have 30 million ppl, the chances of you having many ppl able to be great at certain sports, im much less than that of a country with 100s of millions of ppl. Throw in the fact that we only have summer in most part of canada for 3 months?... Then the weather starts to dip. (sure you can do indoor activities, but, the outside world has an effect on the psychy of the population. As much as I'd like to see Canada bringing in a ton of medals, It is not always going to be possible. But I say we congradulate the ones who can during this time. Either way, If our time at the olympics continues this way until the end, and we only pick up a couple more medals, then, sure it will be a dissapointment. BUT, Just more reason for ALL of our athletes to pick it up over the next 4 years, and train harder than they ever had before, because, the real disapointment, would to not learn from the problems we had here, and improve for 2008.

To me Richards deserves to get a very good amount of ice time, he has proven to be a clutch player and, If he only gets on one of the last 2 lines, I could see him being played a lot on the power play.

Yea, I must agree with you there Tony... they keep going and picking up vets... sure it will give them a good team for awhile, but, times are changing in the NHL, and, teams are lookin to younger talent now, which, might be a bit harder to acquire.

yea, its better to have money, than to have no money... lol

With the team already full of goal scorers, I'd rather have some role players to be able to go out and handle some of the other top lines out there... the Canadian way

Like the fact that Matthieu Garon is one of the 6 goalies.... i say his team will be one of the best :/) [Edited on 17/8/04 by Macaskill]

Yea as Tony said, now that the fans like got a taste of having Kovalev out there, and the danger that the Koivu/Zed/Kovy line brings... It would be hard to live without it. I really hope something gets done soon!!!!

I usually just go for the goal with the forth line . (No wonder I lose most of my games)

I dunno, I see Marleau as the more physical center of the group, and he can put up some goals and set them up for Draper. Guess we'll have to just wait a little bit more b4 we know for sure.. ... couple weeks.

9... only because he tied for lead in scoring... I think Ilya has finally fully arrived to the NHL, but, he still needs to work harder in his own end... in my mind, he is not yet a full 9... but, i figured giving him 8.5 wasn't enough... lol Adrian Aucoin

Good luck to him in Carolina, prob has a better chance of cracking the line up over there than here... lol.

Smyth - Sakic - Iginla Heatley - Lemieux - St. Louis Richards - Lecavalier - Doan Draper - Marleau - Maltby Gagné - Thornton - Morrow Not too much change.... I would Say that St. Louis would be better with Mario and Heat... And have him on a line with Vinny on the power play... (Or Vice Versa) I think Draper has a better chance to make the line up than Morrow... just my thoughts...

Ohhh boii, Imagine the fights... lol, they'd be all over the place.. lol

I agree, I like the guy as a player and all, but that money is a bit much. I'll say the same i did about Pronger. To make 9/10 million dollars each year, as a defencemen, I would expect you to be winning the Norris 5 years in a row or something. lol.

I don't have any autographed stuff .... YET... lol... ive got a couple card/plaques u can buy.... for favorite... I'd have to say my Vintage Jerseys. My Dad managed to get both of them last year. I prefer the white one.... (I have all 4 habs jerseys... lol) Ouuu my Zednik bobble head :D... and Jean Beliveau (my best friend happens to have a autographed jersey of Jose Theodore... and he doesnt even watch hockey .. the horror... lol)

Wendy eh?... ouch.... lol

Give it time, I'm sure that BG and Ryder's agent are talking. Like alwayz, the agent is trying to get a ton of money for Ryder because well, look at the breakout season he had. BG prob wants a much cheaper, long-term contract. 3 seems to be the magic number... as most of our key players are signing for that.

Great to hear. Hope that we can see him in habs's uniform shortly . It's occured to me, that, for 2 years in a row, our first round draft pick has been a very skilled player, in one sense or another, who was simply passed on by the other team. Hopefully this luck will prove well for the habs in the futur... (as long as those prospects can stay healthy) Anyone else think that injury curse has been lifted yet?... The habs have had terrible luck in the past couple years with injuries. Last season wasn't too bad. (Except when Zednik went down late in the playoffs)

Sounds Fantastic . Can't wait for it.

Nah no Perrault sorry... lol, but a good picture of Begin ... and i forget the rest, i was too busy being agry about my tickets not being floors

lmao... well... Recchi i like... Conroy... Dejardins.... yea the rest can go fishing or sumtin... lol

I never played online, but, love all the NHL games. I made a pretty good version of Ryder... not too good, but good enuf to make it on the 2nd line and such, muahaha, lol. Im anxious for 2005, i also liked the controls. Each year it gets better so, we shall see.

Sorry for the double post... but, i saw something pretty interesting today when i was in line for my Metallica Tickets... Theres a big poster at the Bell Centre of Alexei Kovalev and Jim Dowd.... pretty interesting considering neither has been resigned yet.... ... i took it as a "sign" tho... lol... good news ahead maybe?
