Because they are still missing their two best players look for the Habs to once again employ their 2-2-1 system and come away with the win:ghg:

Pretty easy now to understand his sub par performance, he was obviously totally distracted by all that was going on in his personal life. His play has improved drastically in the last few games and I think the Sheldon we knew and appreciated is back. Looking forward to great things from him. Go Sheldon:hlogo:

I don't think Winnipeg's new rink has the seating to support an NHL team. I believe the Penguins will get their new rink. I heard on the fan 590 the governor has said the state is seriously contemplating putting 90 million into it

Looks like Leafs Suck and Moeman have found another whipping boy, gonna give Gretzky a rest for now

You say a lot of other people agree with you and moeman, well I disagree with that. You and moeman have taken it upon yourselves to bash Gretzky at every turn in this forum and it seems to me you have received little support. As far as I'm concerned you have provided no basis or proof of your allegations and I probably speak for the majority in saying it's becoming monotonous. You've both expressed your opinion on this numerous times so we all get your point, now give it a rest

First of all, to those of you who were translating my "bring back Therrien" post literally, you need to expand the depth of your thinking. This was not a serious suggestion; it was a lead-in to my rant about lack of offense. (Most of you did realize this, I believe.) To put it even more bluntly... I am very well aware that we will never have this excellent coach again {sigh}. As to those who believe that Julien is a good coach, yada, yada, yada... There's no point arguing this here. Let's wait and see. We'll talk again next April. I just hope that you don't forget this thread we had here back in mid December. I'll say one thing though... Therrien has accomplished as much as Julien has in the minors and more. Besides this, after the 1st round upset of Boston, we were up 2 games in the next series against the Canes before we had that meltdown. Our team then looked like we could beat anyone! Whereas, Julien (like Vigneault), won 1 series, and then was swept 4 straight where we didn't even look like we belonged. And don't forget, talent-wise, Julien has a better team than Therrien had. The following year, Therrien was quoted as saying that his goal was the Stanley Cup and nothing less. Have you ever heard Julien or Vigneault say this? God forbid. We wouldn't want to have unreal expectations now, would we... - Jack [Edited on 2005/12/14 by jackp] How much did Therrien pay you to write this stuff. I guess we'll see how good he is now that he has Sid the Kid and company to coach, if he's everything you say he is then we should see a big turn around in Pittsburgh

Nobody will be traded

:clap:Well put:clap:

We've been making other teams look pretty good lately, nice to see it go our way

Doesn't being good at" NHL 2006" automatically make you eligible for coach or GM in the league.

Therrien, wow, what colour is the sky in your world:?-

The reason he played the young guys last night was he took the advise of all the "experts" on this board. If he would do this before every game then they would go undefeated the rest of the season:)

The announcers mentioned he played for the National junior team in 2000 so the guy obviously has talent.

How about "Bulis finished off a 2-on-1 with Richard Zednik at 19:05."? It was Bulis from Pleks

I basically disagree with just about everything he said

Huet. Danis has to play to develop, Hamilton is the place for him

Couldn't agree more:hlogo:

Ryder might have been right there when he made the supposed comments and Ribs could have said it as a joke, it's all rumours as far as I'm concerned

Ah yes, he said it best! Plus, Theo is playing injured (apparently), so the extra rest might be a good thing for him. Yes Theo is still somewhat hampered by a sore groin.

How long are you going to go on with this anti- Gretzky rant, you made your point already, give it a rest, it's becoming tiresome

Fedorov is not the player he once was

Not eveyone can go. As Blair Mackasey said it would be easy to pick all the top point getters in each league and equal representation from each one, however they want players to fill certain roles and some of the guys that are left off are probably not at the top of the depth chart for a particular role. People will always question the selections.

They already said Fleury is their guy

I'm having bad flashbacks

Doan played in the World Championships before he played in the World Cup, plus he's a 10 year vetern. Is that enough exoerience for ya.[Edited on 2005/12/2 by olematelot]
