TSN just had a stat saying that the Penguins have only been ahead in a game once all season.

Yeah so what. Is it written somewhere that bigger players are entitled to a system that rewards them for their size. It seems Bobby may be rethinking his off season strategy.

I have to say that on the replay Komisarek did drop his gloves first. Brashear challenged him and he didn't hesitate. I'm impressed.
-
Komisarek got a 10 min misconduct. All together that makes 17 minutes. He'll be back with 7 minutes left in the 2nd period.
Good to have the extra defenseman.

Dags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to say this is a great game.
And I'm into the AHL

All 4 of our lines are playing well.

What a move by Kovalev. Wow

So - so. Didn't have a lot of possession in the Flyers zone.

Do you really think your going to see Dagenais in a shootout when you have Kovalev, Koivu, Ribeiro, Ryder, Zednik, Bonk, Higgins, Perezhogin, Plekanac and even Bulis ahead of him? Yeah I think not.
We'll see. I am sure that if Dagenais is dressed in a game ending with a shootout that he will be one of our first 3 shooters. The only reason the guy is in the league is because of his shot. He and Kovalev were our best two shooters in pre-season shootouts,
Regarding Bullis, as much as I like him, I don't think he will be taking many shootouts. He has great speed, good hustle but very little finish. After the last game lots of people here were picking him for 1st star partly because he had 3 breakaways. I think this is a common error. Getting 3 breakaways and missing them all doesn't really help. If a goalie were to give up 3 breakaway goals we'd be calling for his head. Every breakaway is a potential goal either way. Although goalies have the edge on a breakaway I think a competent forward should score on at least 40% of clear breakaways.

Here's a heresy statement.
I do hope that Ottawa wins the cup this year. It would be better (for us) if Montreal won it but I don't expect that it'll happen this year.
I'm really concerned that Ottawa will become the Buffalo Bills of the NHL - a super team for a number of years that came oh so close (New Jersey in the last few minutes of the last period of the last game of the semi-finals) but never quite... get there. For me, they HAVE to win at least one cup. With Spezza, Heatly, Alfredson, the defense and Hasek, they have as good a shot as ever.
To keep this post in theme with the topic, I hope that the Sens have the power that they're rated to have and use it to go all the way.

Would it be possible to add another tab (maybe between Stats and Today's Posts) which summarizes the Schedule for the season, repleat with previous games' results as well as future game times?
This info is available on the HabsWorld home page, just below the Northeast Division standings.

I'm not worried about next year. I'm worried about this year. Latendresse, Chipchura and Kostitsyn will have no factor on this year, and probably not next either as Chipchura and Latendresse will most likely be in Hamilton anyways.
And whether Hossa dissapears or not, he's still a far better hockey player than Dagenais
And I never said trade Dagenais, I'd have sent Dagenais to Hamilton. Who cares if someone scooped him off waivers
I still think Dagenais will prove useful in shootouts. I would have liked to wait a little longer on Hossa but I trust Gainey. I won't be surprised to see Hossa disappear in baout 10 games.

At least we won't have to see John LeClair light us up like he has every year since we traded him. Looking at the numbers, in 34 games against the Habs, Leclair has scored a whopping 30 goals
[Edited on 25/10/05 by Quebecois]
I am a little worried about what will happen when we face the Penguins.
They now have:
1. LeClair who as Quebecois says has 30 goals in 34 games against us.
2. Lemieux who is always very good against the Habs
3. Recci
4. Crosby who I expect will be especially excited to play against the Habs.
They also have former Habs Lyle Odelein (who doesn't worry me at all) and Jocelyn Thibault.
Fortunately the Penguins have no defence this year.

I was just thinking... poor Steve Begin, doomed to toil in obscurity for the Habs. Just think, if he were playing for the Maple Laughs, the screaming blue whinies, he'd be famous because Don Cherry would be cumming in his pants everytime that Steve was on the ice..." now that's old-time Canadian hockey!"
After the game last Saturday, on HNIC Cherry went out of his way to mention Begin and say how much he liked him.

Wow, somebody was banned here, does that mean I have to watch what I say???
Someone let me know quickly cause I can be quite blunt...
On another note, this is my first post here, but don't worry I have tons of experience on other forums, so no, "welcome to the habs forums" required.
I've been reading these forums since the start of the season, for one thing Simonus seems like a smart guy, what do you study??? Another thing, shortCat is quite funny, don't know too many super relgious super habs fans. And bebeHabs comments are quite "interesting' shall we say.
Anyways let me end off my first post by saying GO HABS GO :ghg:
I can't decide if this is Simonus or Shortcat1 posing as a new member.

I think this sums up why all of us are habs fans (and why deep down we really just feel pity for the Leaf fan).

Who is the other K? Koivu, Kovalev, and who?
I believe somebody (Bullis_the_Habie?) suggested this name during the pre-season for our future #1 line of Kovalev-Koivu-Koistisyn(the elder).

The overhead camera on the missed-called Bonk goal showed it was clearly in before the whistle.
What bugs me is that the Habs bench isn't asking for official reviews before the next whistle.
Go Bruins!
While I disagree, I still think I could hear the whistle on the replay before Bonk hit the puck, we can't complain about the bench not asking for a review. A question about whether the puck was in or not before the whistle blew is not subject to video replay. The referee's decision is final in such a case. Here is the rule.

To make things even worse, the city [Windsor] I was looking at moving 'back' to wasn't there anymore. It was a very different city... much bigger with much bigger traffic problems, etc.
Those things pretty well flushed that idea. Anyway, Sudbury is a pretty good place in which to live.
Are you saying that the pollution in Windsor is worse than in Sudbury???

I heard both Quinn and Julien complaining about the refs after last night's games.
Julien said that he saw the puck in the net before the whistle on Bonk's disallowed goal. That's about all he said - that he was unhappy that the ref's blew the call. [i think it was clear on the replay that the whistle blew a quarter second before Bonk hit the puck. Although I think the refs got this call correct it was unfortunate that they blew the whistle when the puck wasn't frozen. However, when they lose sight of the puck and it looks like its under the goalie they are supposed to stop play.].
Quinn had a rant about the goal that was disallowed. He said that the game turned on that decision which he claimed was clearly wrong. He said that Eshe had put the puck into his own net by moving his whole body into the net when he was getting up and the refs had completely blown the call. [The replay clearly showed Eshe lying not moving a muscle and yet he slowly started sliding into the net with Tucker's stick pushing him along. He was in the net before he got up. I think the refs got this call correct although I was surprised since the puck did go into the net after the whistle and they went to video replay which doesn't take the whistle into account.]
The big difference in my opionion is that Quinn seemed to be saying that the Leaf's 5-2 loss could be attributed to the disallowed goal. Or at least, that that call decided the game. Julien just seemed to be lamenting a bad call and complaining. To me this is an example of Quinn's bad coaching. He is telling the media, the fans and the players that the reason the Leafs lost was the refereeing. I think this hurts the Leafs. It gives the fans the feeling that things are not as bad with the team as they really are. More importantly, it gives the players an excuse for the loss and this decreases their motivation to improve. It also probably pisses off the refs. The only good thing (from the Leafs viewpoint) is that it may make the refs reluctant to make calls against the leafs but I am not sure how much this really affects refs.

philly 2 leafs 1 - end of 2
Leafs are spending lots of time on the PK - 7 minors so far. Finally Philly took 2 penalties late in the 2nd giving the Leafs a 5-3 advantage. During their 2 man advantage the Leafs gave up a 2 on 1 break and Richards scored to make it 2-1.
