I HAVE HAD IT, WITH THESE MOTHERF****** SNAKES, ON THIS MOTHERF****** PLANE!!!!!

go habs go

[Pierre the Great]

oh snap we better win.

[newf]

we haven't beat new jersey the year... brodeur is a superb as always and deadly against the habs.... devils are 20-5-4 at home as well... hahaha should be another frustrating game.

[sbhatt]

Everyone say a lil' prayer...this one could be ugly.

[Quebecois]

Everyone say a lil' prayer...this one could be ugly.

The Rocket, who art in heaven, hockey be thy name

Thy kingdom come, it shall be done in 2007 as it was in 56

Give us this day our dose of goals, and forgive us for our slump

As we forgive those who have not produced

Leads us not into 9th place, but deliever us from the devils

For thine is the hockey rink, the power and the glory, forever and ever

Amen.

[Bushfire]

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum. Long time poster in the Canadiens Forum, had enough of the strict rules and I wanted a more looser place to post.

This game against Jersey is going to be tough. We never seem to beat Jersey, espcially in the Swamp. Should be a long one.

[tokyohabs]

Amen, Brother Quebecois!

Go :hlogo: !

I cant stop laughing, that was the best post I've seen in a long time.

But back to business, these butt plugs better wake the F up!!!

Any word on when Kovalev is returning?

GO :hlogo: GO

go habs go

is that a direct quote?

GO :hlogo: GO!

[Helmethead]

I've had enough of waking up in the morning and logging on to TSN just to see that our team has put in another shameless effort.

The bandwagon's wheels are rattling big time. Someone has loosened all the bolts to the point where they are ready to fall off for good. This game, in my humble opinion, can save our season. NO ONE IS EXPECTING US TO WIN IN New Jersey tonight. IF we can pull this game out of our kabouss we might be able to get the confidence and energy which is needed to get back on track.

Time for the "Leaders" on this team to step up. This is what they are paid the big bucks for. Show some character, resilience and pride and get those two points.

:hlogo: GO HABS GO :hlogo:

[bar]

I think Huet should get the start tonight, he played ungodly last night. If you yank your goalie when he lets in 1 goal in the new NHL, you're making a big mistake.

[shortcat1]

there have been times (and i still tend that way...) that, when we're to meet new jersey, i figure i'd phone bob and say... heck, give the boys a day off and mail the devils the 2 points... with brodeur, it's most likely going to end up that way anyway...

but, one must keep an eye on the light at the end of the tunnel... that new jersey tunnel is soooooooooooooooooo dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmn lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng....

sigh.............

GO :hlogo: GO!

[ShortHanded]

I feel the same way. We don't stand a chance this game. I'll start following again with a hope of winning after this one...

[The NJ Devil]

GO DEVILS

[habsfan88]

Kovalev, Rivet and Johnson are out again tonight. Kovalev is much needed on our powerplay, this is not good news.

As for the Devils, we won't have to deal with John Madden tonight as he is injured too, according to a Devils fan

[Finlay12]

Personally i got no hope for this game......Fow me when I see a Devils, Panthers or Hurricanes game I usually just accepth the loss which is forthcoming.(Atlanta and I assume win)....Im so frustrated with the team lately I doubt I will even watch the game, plus I got a midterm tomorrow...but GO HABS GO

[Quebecois]

Are we going to recall someone if Johnson is not able to go?

I hope we call up Kosty and give him a shot with Koivu...

[Fanpuck33]

Please, oh please call up Kosty and put him on a line with Lats and Plek. Let the kids give 100% and show the veterans up a little bit. Light a spark under the rest of the team to try and match the intensity of the kids.

Exact same reason I came, welcome, it's alot slower around here but they are good people and the rules are reasonable and bendable.

The mod who's in function right now is pretty annoying... Topics have a right to exist on their own for some minutes... yes this is about the game... but it's still a separate subject... I'm saying it's annoying cause It's been two times in 5-10 minutes where I'am about to reply and I get an error msg telling me that the location of the thread is wrong, meaning that you've moved it

anyhow... I was about to say, about that Habsinsideout thing... look up the following email from a fan, it's frikkin funny!

what are these strict rules?

[brboo]

Mark my words. We will blow the devils out tonight. I'm thinking 5-1 for the boys. The slide stops tonight. GO HABS GO!!

TSN is reporting Kovalev is questionable for tonight...although i would probably take Habsinsideout's word over TSN's.
