  1. You're saying this in a thread where an ex-habs is questioning Saku's leadership.

    So Saku was hitting hard in a practice. Hard enough where Ribs still remembers it 2 yrs later. When Saku came back from cancer he was pissed that nobody would hit him in practice, Saks plays hard at all cost. Ribs remarks just tell me he wasn't as much of a competitor. He didn't say Saku was a bad captain, he just couldn't figure out why he was getting hit and assumed Koivu couldn't give up the idea of being a first line centre. You can see right through that bitter BS statement, Saku didn't have that problem with Plex last year did he?

    So ya, I say it in this thread because Ribs didn't question his leadership, he said he didn't understand the rift . Saku didn't like Ribs. Now a captain has to love everyone to be a great leader. BS!

    Just wait a little longer and we'll probably start hearing things about Ribs .. He was easily overshadowed when Shawn Avery was on the bench. With Avery gone the stage is all Mike's. Unfortunately the media in Dallas nor the fans have a finger on the pulse where shit disturbers get called out daily so it may take some time.

  2. I think it's funny that fans are the only ones who question Saku's leadership. Nobody else does. To the point that he was throwing a tantrum at the Hammer for hitting him with the puck. Are you kidding me? How could one lean to that negative side as opposed to what really happened. That makes me question the common sense of Koivu haters.

    As far as Ribs is concerned? I choose to believe that Saku couldn't stand the little bugger for legit reasons in the same way he had to have a discussion with Grabovski for diving on the ice last year, letting him know that's not what a real/honest hockey player does even though he was on the other team. I must add that no player on the Habs or the Leafs had a problem with it because he was right and he was honest. Has anyone ever seen Saku take a dive? and..........Saku never felt he had to tell the media what was discussed. It was between him and Grabs. THAT'S IT!

    Now that is a human being that should be respected.

    Ribs is a puke that's why he was traded and Saku still wears the C because he deserves to. Sorry to the guys who believe points translate to leadership because that's not the case . I hope Saks skin is as thick as I believe it to be and resigns with us. He is a player who truly wears the CH with pride, and I always thought that's what all you guys want in Montreal. It kills me that you can't see it.

    I want Ribs to do two things. Shut his yap and score a bunch of goals against Florida tonight.

  3. I'm so sick of people assuming Price will be better than Halak. I guess I missed school the day they handed out crystal balls.

    I hear you. It's more hoping then assuming based on being picked 5th, which I guess is supposed to be a lock for Stanley Cup/Saviour. I get caught up in it too. It's hard not to. It will be answered in the first round this year assuming/hoping we make the play-offs. If we go down 2-0 in the series and there is a goaltending switch that takes us on a cup run it could get really interesting. For now I'm with Gainey on who should be starting, but wouldn't be surprised if Halak steps in and gives us what we really need in the coming month.

    My crystal ball says: We lose the next few games with Carey. Gainey puts Halak in and he takes us into the play-offs. Starts the first 2 in Boston and we lose. Carey comes back in and takes us to the finals.

    Man, if crystal balls really existed how boring would sports be?

  4. Mind you if it wasn't for his epilepsy he wouldn't have fallen that far in the draft and we would've gotten dion phaneuf :rolleyes:

    we see flashes of briliance(sp) but not enough. I beleive that he'll blossom when he'll play without Kovy in the same lineup. he's stalled since Kovy came back.

    remember it rook a while for Markus Naslund , Todd bertuzzi...to get to full potential.

    still it's clearly not the best pick of the draft.

    Time will tell. His development may be slowed by a few things. Carbo wasn't a good communicator,it brought the best of them down this year and they're english speaking kids that didn't understand they're role. His english is really bad and I'm sure it's been hard for him, but yet he still puts up decent numbers, even with all the sex, drugs and rock and roll this season. He will explode!

    Imagine if Vinny came over this year? He's been terrible. How miserable would Montreal fans be with him this year? 26 goals from a big franchise centre worth 10 million a year. AK has 23 and there is more to come. He was a steal, we've only seen the tip of the iceberg. He's too special of a player to just fall into mediocrity, AK just hasn't got over that career changing hump yet. It's coming. This years play-offs?

    Plus.............The flu bug? It seems this year when you come back from the flu you kick ass. Kovy? Tangs? and now AK!!!!!

  5. That was the first game i've watched for a long time.

    On the positive side, they stand as a team as i never seen this year.

    The players are used at the role they where hired to play. And those who deceived play to the role they can play

    Tanguay and Latendresse are on the top of their game right now.

    Higgins is one of the best 4th liner in this league, combined with Dandenault speed now he has remembered

    what his main strenght was, speed and he has strenght and shoots the net blindly.

    Best defense starts with Markov and Hammer found a groove. Schneider is trigger happy. That's all good.

    On the less positive, Komisarek, yes he hits more and block shots but his passing game is horrible.

    Gorges is playing like a poor Bouillon man, always shooting in the legs and just is ok defensively.

    Luck is not on Price side. I had hope it was reversed when the puck hit the post on Stamkos shot but the second

    goal was a deceiving one. Badluck or missed o dunno but it went in.

    Saturday game will show more about the characters. Buffalo ain't a unflamed Bolt.

    Regardless, They played well. Sure the score was 3-2 OT against Tampa but at-least it wasn't a game we barely won. Ramo was great and it should have been 10-0. Gainey has them going in the right direction which is playing up to there potential not below it. I think that is why Gainey fired Carbo, he was going the wrong way. Gainey is fixing that.....just in time.

    Carey is growing game by game back into form and it just could be this years play-offs where he turns it around, this was his first career meltdown and Gainey is holding his hand all the way through it. Nice, that's what a coach is supposed to do.

    Stop with Koivu bashing. At the start of the game before puck drop he was cheering and shouting both ways up and down the bench pumping the boys up. Let's not be blind as to the reasons he may be captain and just assume he plays a big role in the dressing room. He came through for us last night. Thank-you.

    San Jose has lost to Phoenix and Nashville in the past week. Boston lost to Phoenix and L.A does that mean both these teams suck and won't win the cup???? Nope!

    It's a new NHL and if the Habs get hot which they are starting to I think we have a good chance of going all the way.

    The 100th season was pressure but if we get confident and play well in the play-offs that pressure is going to turn into an encouraging weapon, along with the fans support we will be unstoppable.

    Go Habs Go!!!!!!!!!

  6. where is that from? I'd like to use it for my player grades article.

    They are up on a bunch of sites. TSN, Habs inside out. That was a great shot. Can you use it? or are there legal limitations? I say go for it, it won't be the last time it's seen. I'll make sure of that. ^_^

    These are pretty good too.

  7. On basis of what should he be getting those starts, his recent play? Tonite he was actually strong and in general I have faith in Price, BUT if you looked at this without bias you'll have to admit that he has been clearly favored ahead of Halak in terms of playing time, even while Halak is clearly in better form since the All Star break, and stole this team a bunch of games we had no business being in.

    Same could be said for Price and the entire 1st half of the season, and it just happens that's where Gainey is putting his faith. We won, getting better, be happy!!! Halak blew it last time out didn't he?
