Habitforming

Carbo had no system, that's why I was overjoyed when he was canned.

WOW you must be the best scout on the planet. Mighty white of you to take a look 6-8 years after the scouts and form opinions.

It goes way beyond that. I know all about satire comedy routines, and it's nothing new. You can do one of these skits anytime about anything except when our military is helping steal another counties oil reserves and sending bodies home for our troubles. The second people that have given thier lives for a cause that is not thier own there is no comedy and it's a slap in the face to Canadian citizens and to the familys of the fallen soldiers.

or have to watch every single repatriation from close quarters like I do.

It was a question... and your stunned silence is very reassuring. The world knows the answer anyway

Check this out.... Un ######ing real WOW I watched the Canadian military perform a repatriation of fallen soldiers today and then come home to watch this from "the most powerful country in the universe" ? Shameful and disgusting. If you feel the need, here is his email. redeye@foxnews.com

So now that Halak is shitting the bed is it his fault too or has everyone found excuses yet?

The team is to blame...plain and simple. There shouldn't be chances like Spezza's PP goal, he never should have made it that far with the puck. So you have to hate one of them or something? You sound like the other morons posting here now. Say it isn't so!

Take off the Halak t-shirt and pay attention. Price stopped Foligno's break away when it was 1-1. That should have been motivating no?

It's about time this game wasn't his fault! There is alot more going on with Price than people know as well.

Terrible calls. Brutal that the refs can't see all the interference from the sens on every forcheck.

It was a BS penalty. Man does Volchenkov get away with alot. Another BS call. ######in refs make me sick the last few games.

I only read a few posts here but there are some points that need to be clairified if they haven't been already. Wheeler. He wanted to play in Boston for personal reasons, nothing more, and no other team was considered....that's why he signed for the same money (or was it a bit less?) then Phoenix offered. As for Gainey not signing players throughout the season, he is taking the right approach with this as he has to "manage" the team. If the cap was to continue to rise like the last 3 years then fine, you would have a point; but take a look around the league and see all the GM's that are in major crap right now because they signed guys like Gomez, Drury, Briere etc to huge long term deals and now can't afford to put them on the payroll (cap wise) because the cap is going down. At least Gainey will know the numbers he can work with when the time comes to negotiate and it might actually help him negotiate. Another positive to waiting this season is that no one up for a contract is exactly tearing it up. In fact, all the possible UFA's are having sub par seasons. Signing players long term "when they are affordable" doesn't happen for any team for two major reasons. 1) The player gets more money to commit to a longer term at the current rates to stay and that makes it not such an affordable price. Jeff Carter for example... before he broke out this season, he was way overpaid for his past seasons play. 2) The players agents. Agents are in it for the cash and for the most money a player can get. For an agent long term contracts are the opposite of a good thing and they can keep most players out of them...unless they get offered insane money like the players listed above.

Yes and No. Don't forget the media were all over the players the day of and after the firing and the question at the time was " Do you think communication is something Carbo could use work on?" Carbo had a week to mull over his thoughts and pick the PC answer in hopes of one day landing another NHL coaching gig. The story would have been different if it was immediately afterwards.

There is no way Gillette had anything to do with this move (firing Carbo) and in NO WAY will he fire Gainey. If Gainey leaves it will be by his own choice.

It's Patch - E- oretty Hence the nick name "Patches"

I figured the game would be like this... the NHL has a way of making sure record nights happen on the first attempt. :puke:

And if we had drafted Zack Parise at 10th instead of A Kostitsyn we'd have a 40 /40 man too Maybe we should all pitch in and buy the videos of each devils game and send them to Higgins so he can see what is required to be a 40/40 man in the NHL.

5th OA pick vs a 200 and something pick.... Yeah, Halak is the backup

Meh... Life's not fair

NYI have been playing well lately. I smell a statement game from the Habs.

Maybe Metropolit on the 5 on 3 PP's?

YES!! Now maybe we'll get a coach that has a system or at least one that won't put Metropolit/Kostopoulos on 5 on 3 PP's

Pleks did it?

I just got here what happened to Patches?
