Colin Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Team goes from 1st in the East to a fireball screaming from the sky. Wholesale changes lead to fully half an NHL roster on the injury list. Our 100th year is officially a curse. Discuss and await the final celebrations so we can get on with being a successful hockey team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakiqc Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 The decline actually started in January 2009, so there's a story to write there. Please 2010 be there already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habsfan Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Well, there are only a few days left before the centennial celebrations come to an end (thankfully). As much as I love my team, 15 months of celebrations is way too much. They milked it, and then milked it some more. I have a question for all of you! Would we be complaining about the centennial celebrations if the Habs were winning?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskhab Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 We never were winning! I can't honestly answer that question. But clearly, there is a curse. I speculated back in February last year that was the case. There's no denying it at this point. It's the only logical conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigRedC Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I blame the all-star game. That's where the problems began. Let's boycott it from now on. Also, the draft was the same year. Let's stop sending anyone to the draft, or for that matter, drafting anyone at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one where Carey made that stupid move and ended up injuring himself. That's where all our problems started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was when Price rushed to get back to health in time to start the All-Star Game that things went sour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Didn't know where else to put this: Habs skating at the optional practice today: Laraque, D'Agostini, Gomez, Pouliot, Spacek and Markov I believe I heard that Spacek could make the comeback this Sat. Gomez is day-to-day. Pouliot is supposedly next week. Laraque has, what, 3 games left? D'Ago skating is good news, because that makes 3 or 4 days on skates. He has to pass a week without symptoms before he can get into practice and make the step back to the ice. And RDS is saying Markov could be back by the end of Dec. I think that's wishful thinking, but it's good to hear he's on the ice, if only for 10 minute stretches. And apparently Patches was just knocked and seemed fine after the game, according to Martin McGuire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 The curse began with the trading of Patrick Roy. In addition to the blithering idiocy of Houle, the first franchise player we had drafted since Roy was ruined by a catastrophic MCL tear (Koivu) and another top-6 forward had his career ended by a freak tendon slash (Audette). We had a ridiculous, playoff-run-ending call against us in the Carolina series; we had Koivu get his eye gouged out in another Carolina series which we were leading; we had Zednik, the league's leading playoff scorer that year, get clotheslined and never recover in another series against Boston; we had Lang get his tendon cut last season and we've had Markov return the favour this season. I'll grant that if we'd had a solid organization these specific incidents would have hurt less. But I'm getting bloody tired of this kind of bad luck. It's some kinda karma for the 50 years of dynastic brilliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Really? I guess my memory isn't as good as it used to be! Same here because I don't remember this : Actually, the problems started in January after the shootout win against the Lightning. The one where Carey made that stupid move and ended up injuring himself. That's where all our problems started! What was the move ?? I really don't remember what happened.

Man, the Roy trade The worst part is that he included Keane in a bundle Houle simply Pierre Lacroix look like a genius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, of course Roy was the biggest name in this bundle, no question But trading Roy for 2-3 dudes was enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsfan Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 But trading Roy for 2-3 dudes was enough Any competent GM would have asked for Forsberg in that deal...but we had Houle at the Helm of the Habs, hense we got crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Spacek practiced today and apparently D'Ago might be ready tomorrow. Gomez didn't participate. Correct that, D'Ago almost sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
