smon Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I have faith in Halak...heh. More faith in Halak with zero NHL games played than Aebischer with the hundred-odd games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexstream Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Halak will blank them. Likely 1-0 end of the terrible Slump. Halak will ride the team à la Cam Ward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider-Man NL Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 http://www.canada.com/topics/sports/hockey...249&k=85589 Halak will get his chance to turn around Habs By PAT HICKEY Rookie goaltender Jaroslav Halak will get the chance to turns things around tonight as the Canadiens take a six-game losing streak into Columbus (6 p.m., RDS, CJAD Radio-800). Halak said he didn't know whether he would get a chance to play tonight, but the Canadiens seem to have run out of options after a 5-3 loss to Carolina last night. Coach Guy Carbonneau said he would use Halak tonight and when asked whether he was calling on Halak because he was looking for a spark or because he was unhappy with David Aebischer, Carbonneau said: "I can be honest and I say I wasn't happy with the fourth (goal) and I'm sure (Aebischer) wasn't, either. But I said we were going to use (Halak) and with two games in two nights, it's a good opportunity to see what he can do." Halak was called up from Hamilton of the American Hockey League after No. 1 goaltender Cristobal Huet injured his left hamstring. The Canadiens announced he will undergo surgery today and probably won't return this season. A victory last night would have moved the Canadiens back into a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, but, instead, Montreal fell three points behind seventh-place Carolina and two points behind Toronto. Special teams - the staple of the Canadiens' success earlier this season - let them down last night. The power play, which ranks second in the NHL, went 0-for-3, and on a night when the Canadiens generally avoided the penalty box, they allowed Carolina two power plays and the Hurricanes scored on both of them. The backbreaker came late in the second period after Mike Johnson was called for goaltender interference at 19:26. Rod Brind'Amour scored his second goal of the game to give Carolina a 3-2 lead at 19:50. "I was trying to make something happen," Johnson said. "He (Carolina goalie Cam Ward) was five or six feet out of the crease and I was going for the puck. I made contact with him and it was a judgment call that could have gone either way. "Earlier in the season, we were killing off those penalties, but now it seems we make one mistake and the puck is in the net." While the Canadiens have lost six consecutive games for the first time since November 2000, and lost ground in the playoff race, Carbonneau said he was satisfied with his team's effort. "Over the past week, we've played as a team," he said. The Canadiens outshot the Hurricanes 45-32, and the 45 shots was a season high. But captain Saku Koivu echoed a familiar refrain when he bemoaned the lack of a 60-minute effort. "We played half a game, 40 minutes," he said. "It seems that's what has been happening lately. We play well, and then we lose it at the end." The game marked the NHL debut of Duncan Milroy, leading scorer for the Hamilton Bulldogs. He played 14:19 and had three shots on goal. phickey@thegazette.canwest.com © The Gazette (Montreal) 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAKS-AVENUE Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 MABY....JUST MABY,,,,This is one of thos e times where the innocent play of a very young goalie can turn a mountain over. Good Luck Halak!!!!!!!!!!! It is all about the goalie at the end of the day. If they don't score they can't win. Go HALAK Go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smon Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hopefully Koivu shakes off the slump tonight...he had more than a few chances last night. Go Habs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacchus Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I'd be very surprised if Halak doesn't rock it tonight. Everyone who has been watching the Bulldogs since he came up knows that this guy has the skillz to pay da bills. He has played for just over half a season and he already owns the bulldogs shutout record ... and the D infront of him hasn't been that spectacular. Go HABS go!

MAK Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) Look for me on TV! GO HABS GO! P.S. Oh man, that's the only Jackets' log you have? That was never even their primary logo, and they haven't used it since 2004. is this your real photo ?? here's my prediction halak will win the game, lets say 4-2. gilbert brulé will score both goals and tomorrow some will start a why-have-we-picked-price-instead-of-brulé thread. I'd like to see our 4th line score, they played a good game yesterday !! Edited February 18, 2007 by marky_and_komi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aebischer4life Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 This is the worse team in the league. They have the 2nd least points in the league and the LEAST goals in the nhl. If we lose then I will stop watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
