HABBER-oooooKNOWS

The reality of life....coming to an end. Sad and scary......... Best wishes, see you on the other side..... BOOM!!!!!!

I didn't see any of this...but it makes me feel good. We have bonafide team bonding ....and may I add at the right time in the season. FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THE HABS!!!!!!! Old school hockey? My kind of hockey......

Thanks...........well it was enough to get Boynton suspended. Ivanans next Boston game? Whether or not you like ribs(i'm on the fence) or not, he is on our team, so I have his back. I hope someone stands up for him. If that guy has room he can be pretty creative.

I didn't see any of it but apparently Boynton's suspended for making an inapropriate threatining gesture to Riberio........................................what's that all about.........??? Can someone fill me in?

Theo Quote...... ``I'm anxious to go to Colorado and help the team,'' Theodore said. ``I'm really pumped up. It's going to be a great challenge. ``I want to make sure that I show everybody that Colorado made the better move.'' All I 've got to say is....... "Hope in one hand and sh#T in the other, see which one gets filled first"

Well just got home from work to find not much else happend. I was hoping for a scoring, big forward but, no such luck. Anyways, I'm still buzzing with excitement, knowing Theo is finally off our backs!!!! STOKED So, Mr.Ribeiro.....show you got what it takes ........or............you won't be re-signed by anybody next year... Let's take what we have and push as far as we can go......... GO HABs GO....... Screw those Bruins....... Man, that is one team that royally F&^^&cked themselves this year, PANICK STRICKEN!!! So glad we have Gainey!!!!!!!

Just watch .....we'll be fine with the goalies we have.....

google it in the images and it will come up....just put his name in.

But still...Burt? C'mon....when was the last time the habs could walk into an arena with a guy like that behind them. Koivu would rock.............Burt woul kill. Begin? grow six inches Kovalev is the only one that might suffer......he would either get really flashy or completely melt.......hopefully flashy....

Your totally right. When he was hot in the play-offs or in that last ditch effort to win 10 games to make it to the play-offs .....he was awesome....... Theo just always made me feel uncomfortable. There was such a difference in his game. It was either F&&$cking amazing or he totally blew it. For instance...Brilliant against Boston last year 1st round and then complete crap against Tampa. Or this year in general......He made me nervous every game even if we were up 3 goals.... I beleived in him ....i just didn't trust him......either did his team-mates

Like all of us, we, and gainey included, hoped Theo could put together those brilliant short-lived moments and turn them into a cup run. I get that....and I hoped for it myself. but it just wasn't going to happen. I think gainey resolved this bad hopefull signing...which I don't blame him for....and was able to wash his hands of it. I think gainey is brilliant.... Dumbass? This is e-mail, I'm sure if we were in a room discussing this you would understand what I'm trying to say. So I won't call you a name. You just didn't get it.

Theo has never got past a second round...... He always bombs after a good little run. Theo is the biggest let down in history of goaltending

I didn't hear any of us saying we want Hasek, or turco..................... I think abby is going to do well in montreal for the rest of the year .....might even suprise us like Huet did.... Everyone bagged on Huet.....now he's a friggin mesiah....not because he's good, because we got to thinking Theo's shaky goaltending was great. That vezina trophy was really unworthy. it mindf#$%ked all you guys.....

I think your on crack......Theo hasn't won a cup, actually Theo hasn't done anything except shut the door for a total of 2 play-off rounds and a couple of ten game winning streaks..... gets a Vezina and everyone pays him like he's god. He is not good. Everyone in the league knows this..That's why we get only Abby. Who in my eyes is equal to Theo only cheaper. Watch.......he'll take us to the cup......it's our turn to burn Denver.

Look at the stats.........for the past few years ABBY has been right with Theo if not better......Theo is way over-rated. Montreal wins this trade purely on money. because the talent is exactly the same. We do not lose here in anyway except we need a solid goaltender, we needed that in the first place anyway. ABBY STATS...... 2005-2006 Avalanche 42 2,411 24 14 0 122 1,209 3 3.03 .899 2003-2004 Avalanche 62 3,702 32 19 9 129 1,703 4 2.09 .924 2002-2003 Avalanche 22 1,235 7 12 0 50 593 1 2.43 .916 2001-2002 Avalanche 21 1,183 13 6 0 37 538 2 1.88 .931 2000-2001 Avalanche 26 1,392 12 7 3 52 538 3 2.24 .903 NHL Totals: 173 9,925 88 58 12 390 4,581 13 2.36 .915 THEO STATS....... 2005-2006 Canadiens 38 2,113 17 15 0 122 1,025 0 3.46 .881 2003-2004 Canadiens 67 3,960 33 28 5 150 1,860 6 2.27 .919 2002-2003 Canadiens 57 3,418 20 31 6 165 1,797 2 2.90 .908 2001-2002 Canadiens 67 3,863 30 24 10 136 1,972 7 2.11 .931 2000-2001 Canadiens 59 3,297 20 29 5 141 1,546 2 2.57 .909

I hear what your saying, but I don't think Gainey new Theo was going to 'SUCK' so bad when he offered the money in the first place. Gainey just wiped the shit off his shoes and I say "GOOD FOR YOU" which means "GOOD FOR US" in Habsland. ABBY is a really good goalie. Definatly better then Theo.......I don't understand why no-one has mentioned that yet.

Abeischer is no slouch. His numbers are pretty damn good. So just relax. To say Theo is worth more is wrong. Besides that Vezina year, I think we got the better goalie. And by the way.......don't compare Theo to Roy. Apples and oranges.

We win because he's finally gone........... Denver problem now.......Average goalie with a huge salary. Can't wait to see who fills the cap space.............Jokinen?

Agreed with everything except.. Koivu- He is amazing no matter what. Let's remeber the guy hasn't been home in a month or more. I like Rivet. Hate to think where this team would be in the standings or as a team in general if it wasn't for those two guys.

If it's blue and white with a leaf on it, what do you need to be rational about? Ken Dryden can go to hell too!!!!! .................. ................. :puke: ..........

No Thanks, Not only for all the reasons stated through-out this thread,but we as habs Fans would have to look at this sorry ass mug on our bench during O CANADA....... Not too mention the gay yellow visor.....

Doesn't mean I like it. Once you've put on a Leafs jersey.....you suck in my eyes. That's just the way it is.

I agree with BTH. I've liked the way Dandy's been keeping the puck in too. Except for one incredible detroit season Dandy's stats show he's being just as strong as he usually is. Is there something I'm missing? Is he great come play-off time? Why would Gainey consider him worthy of his contract. I'm hoping we have yet to see it. But what is "IT" ..............can someone answer that. It's not his flexibility because we haven't really used him anywhere but defense pretty much all year

Sorry, but I don't like any of the names being thrown around in the latest speculation on Spectors Site. Zed or Kotz or Latendresse....for weinrich........obviously a joke, can you believe this bulls#@#$t SPECTOR'S MAILBAG. Thanks to "stasny" for the following Canadiens rumour: "Ron Fournier, former NHL referee and popular radio host in Montreal, said on his Monday night show he was informed that the Habs are currently negotiating with a team about a certain guy. Fournier said he couldn't tell the guy's name on the air but gave a lot of hints for us to guess: He knows for sure that the Habs are discussing with a team about aquiring a solid, stay-at-home defenseman, that could become number 5 or 6 in Montreal. The guy is said to be a veteran close to retirement, probably a rental player. He spent some time on the PP this season although he wouldn't on Mtl lineup. He apparently had some important responsibilities in his career and, according to Fournier, he would love to end the season in Mtl and would fit right away with the team. My guess is the guy he's talking about is former Habs D-man Eric Weinrich. In return, the other team would ask one of the following: A veteran offensive winger that could play on the second line (probably Richard Zednik) or a Hamilton Bulldogs forward said to be a fast skater that is a good two-way player. Fournier said Montreal felt the asking price is a little too high but that negociations between the two teams are still active. Let me add this on what I sent earlier about the Habs trying to get a defenseman. It has been confirmed on the air with Fournier on CKAC radio this afternoon. Blues offer Eric Weinrich for either Richard Zednik or prospect Andrei Kostitsyn. Negociations are still active. I cannot believe the Habs would give up one of their very few prospects. Zednik is on his way out of Montreal and has started to play decent hockey since the last two or three games, now that he is playing on the third line. "Alex" also has information on this: "My name is Alex, I'm from Quebec and I was watching to the news at TQS, it was the sports chronic by Michel Villeneuve. He said that an imminent trade including Richard Zednik and the St.Louis Blues defenceman Eric Weinrich (who was once a Habs.) Michel Villeneuve also said that St.Louis request for Weinrich was either Zednik and a young Quebecer prospect that played quite well in pre-season (he didn't mentionned any names but it's obvliously Guillaume Latendresse).

He used to play for the leafs? No- way. heheheheheheh
