BTH Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 The Habs were lucky to come out of this one. The Rangers are the most talented team in the NHL. Their flaw: goaltending. And that's how Michael Ryder won us the game. A fluke goal in OT. I believe that makes him the league leader in goals. No assists though. Wow, those Rangers amaze me! I love them.

VaughanHabfan Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I found that to be a very entertaining game. Very happy for the young guys on the team. (The future does look bright.) There was some brain freeze at the start and end of the game, but they hung in there and didn't really fall apart. To me that is what helps build character. Good effort , well done boys.:clap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beckham Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Kovalev has already played nearly 20 minutes of power play time through 2 games and has a scrawny 2 assists to show for it.

The point is he's playing well and much better than some of the best players in the league. It's too early to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, if he continues at this pace he'll have 82 points at the end of the season, not too shabby at all. And then look at Markov, he's playing extremely well so far, how much of that can be attributed to Kovalev's presence/leadership skills? Stats don't show everything, and remember, we're only two games into the season, lots can change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafs Suck Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Two games, lets lay off Kovalev. He's on pace for 82 points! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, those Rangers amaze me! I love them. :?- On what basis do you make that statement? I can agree that, in some ways Montreal shouldn't have won the game but, on the whole they did outplay them. What nearly killed them was the missed power play opportunities (1 out of 11 - yuck). Aside from that, Jagr & his playmates were pretty well shut down. Three goals, I know but those didn't really come from constant pressure. Back to the topic. The most talented team? Hmm.. I don't know. That ignores the Lightning, the Flames and, especially, most especially the Senators - that's a loaded team. :hlogo::ghg::hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mont Royale Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 A nice result on the road, even if there were some bumps along the way. I'm hoping Dandy and Souray figure out the new (old) rules and get it together (respectively) soon. I agree with Becks that Kovalev hasn't been overly impressive so far... but I'm confident he'll pull it together. He's looking comfortable out there, and getting chances; it's a matter of time. I like James Duthie's comment: Mike Ryder is on pace for 82 game-winning goals! And the Habs, for 164 points. (Ah, to dream.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HabsfaninTO Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I live in Toronto, and its refreshing to hear the media (TSN, Sportsnet, The Fan) now talk about the Habs with respect and waiting for them to explode offensively. As for the Leafs, you can detect fear, they are not sure what's going to happen and what to expect. Not too much optimism on that front. Things are back to normal ! Its the way it should be. :ghg: [Edited on 2005/10/7 by HabsfaninTO] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Sure Toronto media is only going to cover Sundin for the next 6 weeks. The T-DOT media also forgot they have a professional Basketball team already.

Prime Minister Koivu Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 We should be very happy for a few things. Markov was playing as good as any other #1 Dman out there. All aspects of his game were awesome. Boulion and Komisarek made mistakes but both of these guys are better than last year. Perezhogin needs to play on the first line. His speed and the ability to find "the right spot" are a gift the Habs need to exploit. Send Zednik to the second line in place of Dags. We were sloppy at times but one hell of an exciting game. :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to call the Rags the most talented team in the league? Puh-leeze!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But calling the Rangers with Hossa and Ward as key elements to their teams success, "the most talented team in the nhl" is quite funny indeed. :ghg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
