saskhab Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) GO BOYS GO! KEEP THE WINS COMING! You mean, "Get the wins started". We've only got a single win in a row right now. *sigh* Bobby Luo in Montreal... the dreaded Quebec born goalie playing for the opposition in front of friends and family... and this time it's a superstar goalie, not just a middle of the road one that tends to burn us as well in the same situation. The only thing we've got "going" right now is our PP, which is a start, I'll grant you that. But fundamentally, our game is still pretty soft and our lineup shouldn't strike fear into opponents (though on paper, our D pairings look good). We're unlikely to get more than 2 past Luongo and our D has been extremely porous... I think the last time we gave up 3 (well, 2 + EN) or less was vs. Pittsburgh at the beginning of the month. I don't see a win tonight. Edited February 24, 2009 by saskhab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've decided to reboot and feel better about the habs... I'm hoping the boys will do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a win tonight. Our last game was only 3. It was a late 3rd goal too against Ottawa. The wind has changed direction. We are going to get hot now as Boston gets cold. This is our pay back game. Vancouver is going down tonight. 3-0 Habs Kovalev Koivu Dandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazy26 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 The stats certainly aren't with us on this one, as Vancouver has owned us for years. I don't expect a win, but I'd be encouraged by a solid team effort. I'd be even happier if we allowed less than 30 shots for once. Still, I hope for the improbable. GO HABS GO!!!!

I don't expect a win, but I'd be encouraged by a solid team effort. I'd be even happier if we allowed less than 30 shots for once. that is only a stat insofar as it is a number. It has little to no meaning for tonight's game. With roster turnover on both the Canadiens and Canucks over the years historical stats like that have basically no predictive value. There are stats that look bad for montreal - for example, Vancouver has a much better Goals Against per Game and is 7th in 5 on 5 play - and there are some stats that look good for the habs - Vancouver has a bad PK and is the 3rd most penalized team in the league - but head-to-head win/loss records over several seasons doesn't really tell us anything.

I imagine you're joking, but I was hoping for Tangs to return and instantly contribute too. I'm glad the doctor kept him out if he's not 100%. Tangs seems kinda fragile, and I'd like to have him healthy for the rest of the season and the playoffs. These are important games this week, but we'll have to do it without him.

MAK Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty ticked at our doctor right now. Doesn't he know how desperate we are? Maybe you'd like to switch doctors with the flyers's medical staff ?? Simon Gagné had tones of unhealed concussion Briere's forced returns 2-3 times unsuccesfully this year Keith Primeau...nuff say Dave Babych sued them for some reasons I forget. Montreal' medical staff: Saved McCleary's life practicing a tracheotomy in the molson centre clinic. they may be a bit too consevative to your likings but when a player comes back he's healthy.

Athlétique.Canadien Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Before this slump and the loss of Lang, I was batting 1,000 when I wore one of my 8 (Yes, I am pathetic) Canadiens jerseys on game days. A fellow employee who is a Canadiens fan was getting on me to wear it when I forgot. He was that impressed with this supposed good luck scheme. During the slump and during the lowest points of it (out west) he pleaded with me to don it. I told him the team had to secure a victory to get my fanship back and thus; wear them again on game days. They beat Ottawa and satisfied my fanship to give it another go. Yes, I did wear it to work today and am wearing it now (to the disgust of LeafNation and Broons fans at the office - lol ) so let's hope there is some sort of magic to this! GO HABS GO!!!

Luongo will be psyched to play in front of his crowd. Montreal hasn't beaten Vancouver since nov 2000.
