    Koivu was given a supporting cast this year. They brought in Kovy to finally give him a talented winger. Again, I am not saying he sucks, but I am disappointed in his overall play. A point a game is nothing to write home about for a top center in the league, one who is looking for a big contract.

    I think what this team really needs is a true leader, one who is a little more outspoken, a little more emotional then Koivu. Perhaps you are right and Koivu needs a rest, someone to provide that leadership so he can just focus on playing.

    I am not overly impressed with Kovy either... :(

    I agree with you 100%..............Maby it's just too much for him at this point in his career.Our 1st line would and should be a dangerous 2nd line. We need to find a 1st line then.... to be a better team.......through youth? no-one has shown it yet. So we need to go outside via trade or wait till next year.......... So here we go again......Who will bring us a good return......................

    Look, I've always defended Theo. But he only 'bailed out' the Habs consistently for one season in his career, the MVP year. This season, he's been a dog. You can see the whole team sag when their $5-million man lets in yet another key goal (whether soft, or an OK goal that a really sharp goalie would have stopped). Yes, Theo has a very high ceiling. But he has not put together two excellent NHL seasons in his career, and this year, he's compressed a lifetime's worth of inconsistency into one season.

    Anyway, if he's so great, why CAN'T we ask him to 'bail us out' year after year? What, did he get tired all of a sudden? For pete's sake, CuJo made a 20-year career out of making cruddy defences look good.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again - Theo's career arc is looking much closer to Felix Potvin's than Patrick Roy's at this point, that's for sure.

    In any case, someone - whether Theo, or Koivu, or Souray, or Kovalev - has to grab this team by the throat and WILL it to win. I still think Koivu is playing hurt, but he might also (finally) be fed up of what appears to be a team of babies, psychological weaklings and headcases. Interesting times...alas.

    Thank-you........my point exactly............I'm fried too.........all I want to do is drink beers and win...then bug my leaf fan friends........Theo doesn't make me want to do that........He did last year during the 1st round with the bruins..............i don't know who was in net after that. I think the same guy that was in net the 1 st period tonight.

    You say Koivu has been the backbone for the "worst decade of Montreal" hockey and that he needs a supporting cast.

    Yet you say Theodore sucks? You must be blind.

    Theodore is the backbone of this team. If it wasn't for him, this team wouldn't even have made the playoffs once the past half decade. And Theodore deserves a lot supporting cast. Ohlund and Jovanoski will be great for him. It'll be great to finally see him with some talent.

    I doubt it....because even when Theo stands on his head for 10 games or a round in the play-offs it never lasts...............never.....he becomes very if not less then average every time after a short winning streak. This is the reality. I only know it because when he was hot, I would brag like an idiot only to put my foot in my mouth....it never lasts more then a month.

    I don't want to bash him.I'm as real as Habs fans get, and I'm just tierd of him not living up to his expectations. I think he is too.

    Another useless goal by Koivu. Bounced off his foot after he did squat the entire game. But it will go down as a goal and plus 1 tonight.

    I like Koivu a lot, but he is not leading this team when it counts. He is invisible for entire periods. Not sure what is wrong with him. He is not playing terrible, but he is not the leader I remember him as, the guy who sparks the team, etc.

    You know, I don't blame the guy for being flat..................He has been the captain for probably the worst decade of teams montreal has put together in history. He has been the back-bone the whole time, even through cancer. He has to be thinking what the ######? Give that man a supporting cast and he will show you what it'a all about again and again and again.....he is just out of gas right now.

    I think Gainey really truly believes in this team and every player..........he picked them and now he's in charge behind the bench...............They will stand up and suprise us all.....it's coming.

    I just don't think Theo will be around for it......God love him but he just ..........................really sucks.....

    I don't mean that in an ass way.....I've been a Theo fan for a long time.Tonight I realized he is just really bad most of the time.

    CKAC is reporting it.

    Which is good news considering it means he's close to coming back, but does seem strange that they would fly him accross the country for oen day and send him back.

    Probably was missing a few steps in practice being off so long....I imagine we won't see him back untill after the road trip now,,,,,,,,,,

    good news he's playing though.....better he works the kinks out in hamilton

    I would feel great if it was a great game and we got robbed by Kiprusoff.....but we got outplayed, out shot, out hit, out evrything.....

    I'm bummed

    We need a couple of changes.....Not like get rid of everyone....just one or two guys added that are tough fers ......that way some of our guys on the fence of being tough could stand up.........

    I was hoping Komi would be that guy, but the more I watch him I realize he's just not mean enough.... too much of a nice guy..

    we need a mean streak kind of player

    No suspension for SOURAY!!!!!!!!!

    Thank-god

    Habs will WIn this....they'll get that back

    This reffing is ridiculous. Souray got kicked out of the game for intent to injure...Are you on crack refs? What do you think those punches are in fights? You think they are trying to tickle each other or something? Holy crap Souray out of the game because he won a fight. Ridiculous.

    He's not kicked out off for 5

    - The habs would be better off without koivu. Hes just a glorified old man.

    - Bryan Marchment? Good enough to be the teams 7th dman, adds grit and a physical presense. As for him taking penalties ya that sucks but having a team that is actually built to try to make a playoff run needs depth guys like him when injuries occur.

    - As for questioning my "loyalty" to calgary you should know that ive followed the flames since I was 5.

    - As for spelling, im glad to see your the grammer police.

    The curse is working........Your boy just got smoked!!!!!!!
