Athlétique.Canadien Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 ...directive from Gainey...Good theory - probably right on the money. Ryder has to break through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 (edited) I like the idea of keeping price in net for this game. Lets try to keep the chemistry we have created and ride this short but productive hot streak... Anytime you wipe the leafs off the ice its a productive game... Isn't every habs game a must win game? GO HABS GO! Edited December 18, 2007 by Chips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thib46 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 looks like Ryder will play again tonight with Gui sitting in the press box. Im sure latendresse isn't overly thrilled with being shelved for two games when he claimed he was healthy enough to play. You have to wonder if this is a directive from Gainey, telling Carbo to give Ryder some minutes to potentially increase his trade value. The team seems to have moved on without him so there's no doubt that a trade would be beneficial. I would bet that as soon as Ryder pots a goal or two he'll be on his way out of town. Carbo in an interview yesterday after practice said that although he and Gainey speak all the time the decision of who plays remains with him only.

sbhatt Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Im sure latendresse isn't overly thrilled with being shelved for two games when he claimed he was healthy enough to play. Players often claim they're fine to play well before they're 100 percent, so I don't see using caution and resting him one more game as a bad thing.

ShortHanded Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Carbo in an interview yesterday after practice said that although he and Gainey speak all the time the decision of who plays remains with him only. of course he said this, but a little "suggestion" by gainey would go a long way I think.

BTH Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I've been trapped into eating supper with these people I hardly know. I expect to be back in time for the second half of the game though. I predict a 2-1 habs win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Low scoring games are the usual between these two teams but for some reason I think tonights game may be an outlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryder is a two-time 30 goal-scorer, we weren't just going to put him on the shelf for the rest of the season. Yes, we do want to increase his trade value, but he played one of his best games on Saturday and he deserves to play tonight. I doubt Gainey is micromanaging Carbo's decisions, and anyway Carbo's smart enough to understand the situation with Ryder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect to be back in time for the second half of the game though. I predict a 2-1 habs win. I have become a Jedi master in excuse-making, even in a pinch when put on the spot, to avoid any situation that might cause me to miss a Habs game.

Sir_Boagalott Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 For the love of God, why do the Habs insist on dumping the puck in and then do a line change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toren Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 For the love of God, why do the Habs insist on dumping the puck in and then do a line change. Because leaving the puck in the neutral zone and going for a line change is a bad idea...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, so taking the puck into their zone and shooting it on net is a bad thing? Defense first, and only? Nice to see the D make a hit on a player trying to cross Habs blue line.

brobin Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 O'byrne is having a terrible game. He is screwing around in his zone instead of getting the puck out. He keeps making bad decisions with it and turning over the puck (or giving it to the wrong guy who is then pressured). He needs to simplify his game in a hurry...
