brobin Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Figures.. If NJ beats Phoenix on Thursday, Brodeur is rolling into Montreal on Saturday one win away from tying Roy's win record. Like he needs the extra motivation. That game will be a true test for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAK Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I wish he already did it but I wouldn't mind if he done it in montreal( in Ot so we have a point). If Montreal is the birth place of hockey it figures that such a record, set up by a former Habs goalie, should be beaten here by a local child. as a Habs fans I'd be pissed to lose the game but since we'll win tomorrow it'd be less painfull. As a Hocley fan I'm looking foward to the event and hope it happens here !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I was actually hoping he would get a chance to break the record in Montreal... Would have been great to see OR watch us delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhatt Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 It's too bad that Bob is a classy guy; If I were behind the bench, I'd send Stewart barreling into Marty in the first five minutes...hard enough to bury him in the back of the net and send the whole lot crashing into the end boards...just to set the tone. They need to show him no reverance...no respect...just go out there and pelt him with pucks, constantly sending a ton of traffic to the crease in front of him. Record, schmeckord...we need the two points!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Big deal. We just have to kick their asses, that's all. I hate all the tremulousness that's crept into Habs culture this season. It's perfectly reasonable, but dammit, WE should be the team THEY'RE afraid of, not the reverse.

We can beat them, but not playing like we have lately. Gainey has one more game to fix up this mess before he runs into Brodeuur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 It isn't going to matter who starts Saturday, it will be UGLY. Yeah, Marty will always regret not tying the all-time record in his hometown. Well, maybe he won't regret not tying the record here, but definitely he'll regret laying an egg and getting pulled in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForumGhost Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I guess this will be the temporary game thread... Brisebois in, Halak in, Latendresse possibly in, Kovalev possibly out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhatt Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Kovalev possibly out. The hell with that....give him some Sudafed, run an IV through him, and get him on the bench...even if it's just to play on the powerplay. From what I saw on that pathetic 5-on-3 the other night, I'll take Kovalev spiking a fever working the half-boards over anyone else we've got that's healthy.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 To me, this game is an opportunity. A win would really be a shot in the arm at exactly the right time; potentially the inverse of the disastrous 'Lucic' game that set the tone for this season. Our players should be champing at the bit to really step up and make a statement. (I suspect, though, that their attitude is closer to what we see on this board, timorous 'woe is us' stuff). Kovalev ain't the key. Kostitsyn, Higgins, Plekanec, Komisarek - the young 'stars' who have stunk out the entire city of Montreal all season...these are the players that have to FINALLY deliver. Pretty sure that Halak will hold up his end. GO :hlogo: GO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plex is already delivering over the past dozen games or so (9G, 6A, 15pts in past 13 games). But I agree with you on the others: Komisarek has been terrible, Higgins has been an absolute bum, and Andrei K has been inconsistent as all heck. Time for them to deliver.

ForumGhost Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 How has Kostitsyn stunk out? Last time I checked, he was our leading scorer. Also, Pleks has been on fire since his suspension and is now our second leading scorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our players should be champing at the bit to really step up and make a statement ... GO :hlogo: GO!!! Agreed! Bob has just dealt with the team's first loss. Did he respond with skating drill punishment or communicate a game plan and encouragement? This is what we'll see Saturday, how the team performs after a bad loss. I hope they come out flying and win, what a ray of sunlight that would be! This message brought to you by the magical faerie optimist that lives inside JLP.

rafikz Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I'm torn I want Habs to spoil the party But at the same time, a Montreal native tying Roy's record in the Bell centre would be a historic moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokyohabs Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 No wavering here. Despite my logical misgivings, I hope the Habs shell Marty for 9, he pulls a fit and is traded to Colorado the next day. Go Habs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
