    Edmonton was criticized when they picked Dubnyk. Dubnyk was rated in the lower top five of the goalie prospects in his year and he got picked ahead of some guys.

    At the time he got drafted I remember some TSN analysts were wondering why Edmonton picked Dubnyk (big in size) over Corey Scheiner (small but better than Dubnyk).

    If I remember right Pogge was drafted in the third round :|

    What does draft round have to do with who made the team? I think Price should be there over Dubnyk too but I'm not Sutter and he's seen a lot of all 3 while coaching Red Deer. Pogge has been playing amazing this season so far and I'm glad Sutter rewarded him. Now hopefully he can show the rest of Canada what he can do because I know a lot of people are doubting him.

    When Dubnyk, Price or Pogge got drafted has nothing to do with who should be playing, was just pointing that out :P

    If Pogge out-played every goalie there then let him be the starter. Price out-played Dubnyk and yet he Price got cut, that's all I'm saying.

  3. I'm just saying if the best players on the team are playing like crap, why bother giving then more ice time. It might not assure the team a win as you said it but the rookies are jumping on the ice and are playing to try to prove something that they can indeed be scoring threats. Of course, Julien doesn't play these guys. He plays his best players that are doing jack shit on the ice.

  4. Lucky Luke got scratched because he seems to be having problems with his legs. Don't know the specifics but probably over the years of playing and he seems to have a hard time skating and keeping up with his teammates.

    Should be taken into account that Frolov and Cammelarie (that's definetly not the way you spell his name) are fast mofos.

    I have been posting in other forums such as Sportsnet's and RDS's, and I am happy to post here since it is a HABS' forum. When I only feel like talking about the habs, I can always come here. I hope you guys are as cool as most habs fans in Sportsnet. I hope the Habs will have a great season this year and will beat the sens in the playoffs. If they do, that's my Stanley Cup ;).

    Awesome :D

    Welcome to the boards, always nice to talk to more Habs fans.

    So a coach derserve to get fire because he's not playing guys that shouldn't even be in the NHL right now. Yeah, that make lots sense. Last time i check the Montreal Canadians are playing in the NHL not AHL. If you want to develop young players, let them get ice time in the AHL not in the NHL. BTW, look around the league, most team have players that only get a few minutes. So, thinking that firing Julien will solve this so called problem of not playing the rookies, you guys may be sadly in for a shock, when the new coach uses the same approach. It's called playing your best players. Just because you have a uniform on, doesn't automatically assure you 15 minutes of ice time.

    If you think that Ribeiro, Dagenais, Zednik, Ryder and Bulis are the Habs' best players right now then you are in for a shock.

    If anything, it's the freakin' rookies who are going on the ice and are busting their asses off to score goals or to make things happen. Like I said before, everything Perezhogin is on the ice for example you see him playing with his heart on his sleeve and trying anything to spark up some offence.

    Then there's guys like Dagenais who bitched and moaned for ice time in the beginning of the season because he was constantly being scratched and when he does get the minutes he had asked for what does he do? He sits his ass in the slot waiting for someone to make him a pass and does nothing else. Doesn't even move to make himself an opening for the puck, he stands right between the opposing defence.

    Edit: I didn't know if you heard this or not but last night during an interview Claude Julien actually called out Dagenais, Ribeiro, Zednik and Ryder (not sure about Bulis) because of their poor playing recently and said the way these guys have been playing is inacceptible in a time when their the ones who are supposed to elevate their game.

  8. When I was listening to the beginning of the Pens - Sabres game on TSN, one guy made an interesting comment.

    He said "The great thing about Michel Therrien becoming the coach of the Pens is that he was their coach in their minor league team in the AHL and he knows his players and knows who can cut it or not."

    Then it got me thinking, did Claude Julien coach the Habs' minor team at one point? Doesn't he know the players? He has Jarvis has an assistant, I mean common this doesn't make sense why they get so little ice time despite them actually producing.
