Hope to learn the entire team was fatigued from the flu.
Well they certainly played that way. Or worse

Well I see that we are back to playing like shite, but we are doing it with a lot of character and solid leadership. Poor Al, getting hung out to dry by his team mates. Shame on them.

OK these guys have to get their shite together, they don't look so good right now. CJ get em moving.

You're a harsh GM, telling players to get back to practice in the middle of June when the season and playoffs are over...
Ya gotta be tough to play on my team.

Price is out with the flu.
Are you serious? Oh well Montoya get the win. Let's put the fire out in Calgary.

Player: "Why did you leave me unprotected?"
GM: "Well, we didn't think you were good enough to be picked. We're glad to still have you around though."
Something tells me that wouldn't be a fun conversation to have with a bunch of players from every team.
I am sure that a GM has more tact and common sense than that. Something like, we did not want to leave you unprotected but it is a numbers game. We really took a huge risk and thankfully it worked out. Now get out of my office and get back to practice.

Just to bring up the other side, what about the players? They wouldn't want it to be known that they were deemed expendable for free by the teams. A GM certainly wouldn't want it out there either - that has the potential to be damaging in future contract negotiations moving forward. From the standpoint of the fans, it'd be great to have them posted a couple of days before the draft - it'd make for great discussions. But it's obvious why the teams or the league for that matter would like to keep the lists private.
It is just as likely that they leave him unprotected knowing full well he won't be picked. Each team only loses 1 guy.

He's playing 7 min a night on a mucker line..
With that being said, he's done nothing to even warrant playing time. Just needs to be sent down.
That ship has sailed can't be sent down now.

The game is TV which is great, but I have to wait till 7:00 pst. I am not a patient man, I may go crazy.
Come on guys let's kick some ass.

Habs guaranteed to lose one player and if that is Benn, could be worse choices for Habs.
I like the guy, has played well, would like to see him stay, but we shall see.

LOL ...Don i remember that like it was yesterday...i was at a get-together and, by his reaction, everyone thought he had shattered his hand...it was just a bruised glove. He was embarrassed though and played his best for us after that, at least for a while. I do not like the Kessels (floaters) of this world but for AK i make an exception...
I always wanted the opponent to piss him off, cause it seemed like when he was mad, look the hell out. He played his best. Unfortunately they avoided that.

To anybody dumping on the moves that Bergevin made at the deadline: this game is an example of how important the bottom lines are. It takes a whole team to win a game and especially a series.
ok I am 1 guy who wasn't impressed with Mark down Mark's bargain bin pick ups, but I gotta say he looks like a genius right now. Of course it is only one game but man what a game.
-
Team played great. Julien has got the team going. MB's additions really looked good tonite. I am impressed, ok not with Emelin and Bealieu Has to stand up and not be on his knees, but that was great effort. They looked really confident tonite.

I don't know how off topic I am but here it goes...
1) Go Habs GO!!!
2) kinda sick of some of the media talk about not getting a top 6 frwd... If space gets opened up on the ice for our top6 by the new guys; I'm all for it and is just as good under the circumstance imho.
3) GO HABS! GO!
thanks for letting me rant people
Rants work, do it all the time myself.

radulov is out after blocking a shot for the second game in a row with inside of foot.
Well that certainly puts a damper on things. Hopefully it is just a bruise and he only misses the one game.

That's fair enough I guess Habs Rule, you make some good points, your opinion though, and your expectations, same as I have, doesn't mean either one of us is right.
But in the end, isn't it really all relative? Seguin hasn't got the Dallas Stars anywhere, Kane and O'Reilly have not got Buffalo anywhere, Kessel joined a stacked team at C, and the Kings aren't in the playoffs just now, but if they make it, they may scare the top teams.
All I'm saying is, although maybe not top contenders, Habs are still contenders, and I am happy enough in this new NHL era, there are much worse teams and GM's in the league, and MTL isn't the only team with holes, but we roll 4 lines...
All I want is a stanley cup and I don't think we are going to get it by switching 3 and 4th liners.

Kovalev was an artist trapped in an athlete's body...
Yes he was quite the character. Like a lot of us he did not know what he had till it was gone. L'artiste indeed.

I dont believe price intentionally played badly... no
I believe he played like he didn't care. Once Le Genius was banished to the hinterlands, Carey came back to life.

Kovalev had the benefit of an era with more goals scored overall in those five years
Kovalev had the benefit of being more talented than 95% of the league. I didn't say he used it, he had it.

You really don't think the team has improved in any discernible way, really though? I'm not saying everything is rosie, but c'mon man...
A lot of great teams 3-4 years ago, like Anaheim, St.Louis, Boston, Tampa, even Colorado, Detroit and not so long ago Vancouver were all feared teams, now look at them.
I think Bergevin is holding his own, he has stuck to what he said he would do in the first place, improve the club, without compromising the future, to build a perpetual contender.
If this team is not a contender, with Price, Weber, Markov, Chucky, Patch, Radu, and Claude Julien as coach, then neither is Washington really...look at how they collapse year in year out in the playoffs, their scoring dries up, and their coach hasn't lifted a cup either... Everything is relative.
No I think MB inherited a pretty good team that was badly managed (ghost). Other than Rads all we have done is switch 3rd and 4th liners. Take a look at the list you made these are Bob Gainey adds. This is still primarily the team he got from Big Bob. Ok he drafted Galchenyuk but that was kind of a no brainer. I have always supported MB and am not on the fire MB bandwagon, but the constant year after year excuses about there being no talent available, does start to look a little hollow when the Seguins, Kane, etc are moving around the league. How is it some other GM's, example Ken Holland found guys for over 20 years. 25 years in the playoffs, pretty impressive, how many rebuilds have we gone through in that time? I understand build through the draft but that has not been working so good for us. Our prospect pool is not that big, and I don't see too many sure fire NHL 1st liners down there

Julien seems just as unwilling as Therrien to mess with a winning lineup.
I think Mitchell needs a pressbox break, even just for the mental reset, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen till there is a loss.
That is true of most coaches, don't fix what ain't broken.

5 in row has a really nice ring to it. Let's just go do it. Embarrass them in their own building. Paper bags for all rangers fans.

Boy that was a different team that played last night. Byron looking like a real goal scorer. Looks like Gallagher is back. So let's keep this up and make a real run.
