    I know that Streit and Aebischer will play for the Swiss, although Streit has had problems with an injury in the last months so he might not be able to play the usual minutes (averaging almost 30 minutes a game).

    what other habs have agreed to play for their country at the upcoming world championship?

    What game did you guys watch? This injustice was not won by the Swiss, not to take away from their great effort, but by officials. Terrible calls all game. Looked like a Habs game. Yes Canada played under their ability but come on, both those goals were in . 2-2 tie, where is overtime? Bogus but if you want to revel in it, enjoy.

    oh common. there were some questionable calls against Switzerland as well. They just said on CBC that the video ref only had 3 angles to work with which is unbelievable.. but gerber makes a huge save and you never see the puck in the net. the puck probably had crossed the line but canada shouldn't need such a goal to beat a team full of players who are too 'soft' for the NHL.

    An upset is always a great thing for a tournament. and it's great to see that team work payes off. I hope the habs watched this game and see that a small but fast skating team can beat big strong teams if they work hard together. GO SWISS, GO HABS

    At the beginning of the year Huet was talking about playing in europe next season.

    yeah, huet will get the swiss citizenship and has offers from the swiss league. he played there before and was one of the best goaltender (besides Martin Gerber). he said in swiss newspaper that he would go back to switzerland but I guess if he gets a good offer from Montreal, he will stay another season. we will see

    Trade Chipchura perhaps?

    Yes, Huet will get the Swiss Citizenship and already has different offers from Swiss clubs for next season...

    The Oilers were all over Aebischer tonight but this time, god bless him, he managed to keep his cool. Guess Q had a talk with him.

    yeah I was very surprised when I saw what he did. If you talk with him you think that he can't do any harm to anyone but I guess that last season in Switzerland changed him a little bit. he had a really hard time there and was treated like shit...

    well better than in MLB where you have with and without steroid :nono:

    I'm not sure if that will be as big of an issue as it looks right now. I think that the goal average will drop as the season goes on. The defenseman as well as the coaches will figure a way out to handle the new rules better...

    there have been quite a lot of new rules introduced in the 'new NHL' so which is your favorite one?

    I go with the icing rule. you're not allowed to change if you iced the puck. all the icing was a killer, now teams have to try harder to get out of their zones. I think it's really good for the flow and benefits the offensive teams.

    what are your favorite new rule?

    Hainsey & Vandermeer sent down ...

    Not 100% sure on this one, but I think the player has to be on the active roster to count. Still wasted money for the organization, but probably no hit to the cap.

    Sportsnet said that it will not count against the cap.

    they also said that gainey might try to trade one or both of them.

    streit or hainsey

    I think Hainsey has more potential, but he just can't seem to get his head into it.

    It's not true, Streit has a two-way contract.

    yes, very true, I'm surprised that Plekanec is so good defensively...

    Streit plays well. I'm wondering why he always has to play with Higgins or Cote before. In Switzerland, he played very offensively and if you would give him a reliable defensive partner, he would do much better. that way, he is never really too comfortable. let him play with souray or rivet and let's see what he can do.

    Canadiens will not make the playoffs....

    according to The Hockey News

    have a look at the article

    I especially like the second paragraph

    The Habs didn't make a ton of noise during this summer's free agent frenzy, and they lost some key components in the process. Gone are defensemen Patrice Brisebois, Karl Dykhuis and Stephane Quintal, while the only significant addition was blueliner Mathieu Dandenault.

    Oh yeah, we all will miss Brisebois and Dykhuis. :puke:

    Yann Danis will start in goal tonight, while Carey Price, the Canadiens' first-round pick in June, will take over midway through the second period. Three players - Cory Locke, Andrei Kostitsyn and Jonathan Aitken - will all make their first exhibition appearances tonight.

    Looking forward to see Kostitsyn playing.:hockey:

    just keep in mind that Streit is used to the European style. You have to give him some time adjusting to the North American rink.

    He has signed a two-way contract, you have to give him some credit for that. He could have an easy live in Switzerland where everyone respects him and where he can earn some good money.

    But I have to agree. I have seen him play quite often in the last 6 years and although I think that he is a great player, I do not see him as a good fit for the Habs. He is a Markov kind of a player and I think that the Habs have enough of that. His biggest plus to Hainsey is his consistency and his character.
