Dream that Hamrlik doesnt f*ck us over tonight. People love to gang up on MAB and his 750K salary... yet Hamrlik has done a whole lot worse for about 5.5M.

But... all those things are true! Wouldnt you rather have no illusions, no unrealistic expectations and be overcome by the joy of the moment when the best indeed happens? Or always be disappointed because you always expected the best out of things you have absolutely no power on?

I assume you meant NHLers. I dont debate some guys in the AHL could do as well if not better than some NHLers. I'm just talking about the specific case of Habs fans overestimating their AHLers and underestimating their NHLers and therefore automatically ranking call-ups higher than current roster players. Recent examples are a dime a dozen. I'm just weary of Subban being overhyped by fans who then will turn around 180° and start blasting him and giving him the Brisebois treatment the second he piles up a couple of mistakes, which is bound to happen one of those days. Was 3 years ago. Until I realized spending hours grinding for reputation on an online game was the definition of "waste of time".

All Subban has to do is not play. Once fans actually see players in action, all the good warm fuzzy feelings usually go away. Not wishing it on Subban and I assume Boucher has done an outstanding job with the kid; but I'm getting annoyed by the way some fans act, as if any player in the AHL is better than anyone in Montreal and just primed to play 25 mins and get 1st PK and PP time and be named captain right as soon as he sets foot in the locker-room. Markov might as well just hand his "A" over to P.K.

Yep, plus when he gets mad he can shoot lightning from his eyeballs, and his skin glitters in the sunlight... Also heard he came equipped with Epic Skates of Doom (+20 speed bonus) and Epic Visor of Clarity (+30 pass accuracy)!

Optimus Prime? I'd have thought more like Bumblebee mixed with Jazz.

Harvey, Lidstrom, Potvin, Shore, Robinson... Coffey comes way late in the list of best defensemen. I'd settle for Subban being just something of a Brian Leetch.

Bourque is the best D of the modern era IMHO. He was playing 30 mins per game and was outstanding at both ends of the ice, oftentimes on a Bruins team that had nothing else to offer. Coffey was a a glorified 4th forward who was lucky enough to play with Gretzky AND Lemieux and was useless in his own zone. As for Orr, I haven't seen him play.

Fans' reaction on the Web makes me cringe already. I'm happy to see the kid in a Habs uniform, but Jesus Christ reading fans you'd think Subban is the next coming of Raymond Bourque. A little temperance, how about it? *shake heads*

Probably the best-case scenario to call him up, after a win and because of an injury. No savior pressure there. I just hope for the kid he doesnt make some mistake on the PP that leads to a Caps goal.

GO DOGS GO!

Except that his mistake in the defensive zone directly led to the Ovie goal (SK just stood motionless like a tourist...) and on another play he almost cost us a scoring chance by not backchecking. He barely caught up with Morrison whose about 40 yrs old.

Next game, I'd scratch SKost & Pouliot and dress Darche & Maxwell. Can't be worse.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=snowjob Funny as hell, considering the coke rumors about Ovie!

Well they were addicts, so I dunno how much bodybuilders have to consume! I guess it's like Creatine, doesnt really do anything on it's own unless you actually lift weights. GHB works a bit like E as far as euphoria go. Might as well be on the safe side and mix both in Ovie's bottle. Or just save ourselves all the trouble and put some troubled anger-issues kids as flag bearer and let them go apeshit on Ovie.

Didnt knew about the steroids thing. Weird, but makes sense since it's a dopamine re-uptake inhibitor and could block out some pain from training. I've known some chronic users (as a recreational drug, not the date rape thing) and they were anything but bulked. Just put enough in Ovie's bottle so he feels euphoric and more inclined to play with his dingdong on the bench then score goals.

Hey! Next game is in Montreal, right? I'd lock the the Caps' bench door that's next to the flag bearer. Just to piss off Ovie... and put sand on the floor of the bench, for extra mesure... and GHB in Ovie's bottle... and sugar in the Caps' bus gas tank... and call their hotel rooms non-stop from 3am to 6am... and, well, you get the picture.

*facepalm* Well, props to JM for putting Moen up with Gomez and Gio.. Now can we get our Latendresse back for Pouliot? Or is the return date overdue?

Fair enough. I'll share with you and eat some for the way Gorges played tonight.

Halak 1st star... dunno the others.

Lapierre, Pyatt, Gill, Gorges... the plumbers showed up tonight.

Still no faith bar?

habs survive!

ooooooh man! too many men!

OB played Backstrom perfectly there.
