kaos Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Yeah I didn't really see Lapierre stepping in. Way to go Zednik. Game winning goal. Looks like Gainey should alternate benchings of Bulis and Zednik. The seem to score their first games back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chief_balthor Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 RDS reporting that Begin is done for the rest of the season. They only mention the last 4 games though. No mention about the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathieu30 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Bégin: saison terminée http://www.rds.ca/canadien/chroniques/202097.html Begin will miss all remaining regular season games. Playoffs? Plus de détails à venir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombTHEice Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 According to TSN he'll just miss the last 4 regular season games and should be ready for the PO's: Steve Begin, who suffered a left-knee sprain Saturday night after being high-sticked by the Devils Ken Klee, will miss all four of Montreal's remaining games. It's expected that he'd be ready for the playoffs, if indeed the Habs make it there... Radek Bonk is available if needed tomorrow against Buffalo... Bob Gainey said he's planning on calling up three players from the Hamilton Bulldogs once they finish their season on Saturday. Maxime Lapierre is already with the team, but expect goaltender Yann Danis, defenceman Jean-Phillipe Cote and probably forward Andrei Kostitsyn, to join him as well.

Trizzak Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Zednik scored, I assume he gets a spot back in the lineup, but if Bonk is out for another game the question needs to be asked: Does Gainey risk these last important games on rookie Lapierre who plays a similar style as Begin, or does he go with the veteran presence of Sundstrom, despite the fact he's been doing precisely ######-all lately?

If Bonk isn't ready for the next game, I won't be surprised to see Lapierre or Simpson palying instead of Sundstrom. Sundstrom didn't contribute anything last night. Maybe Gainey will give him another chance but I think he has played himself off the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundstrom didn't contribute anything last night. Maybe Gainey will give him another chance but I think he has played himself off the team. I tend to have to agree... and that doesn't bother me one bit... Sunny is way too over-rated as a "smart" player... Just because Gretzky said it doesn't make it true... I still remember game 3 of the series against tampa... the habs were ahead and there was less than a minute left... Sunny had a chance to clear the puck up the boards, but instead goes up the middle... TB intercepts, and scores... Habs lose in OT... and you know how the rest goes... Real "smart"... I reiterate... I wouldn't mind to see Lapierre or Simpson over Sunny... especially how he played last night! Still, I hope Bonk is back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTH Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 can I just say that TSN is run by jerks? "if they make it there"?!?! Screw you! Last night, I heard some idiots on TSN talking about the Eastern playoff race and then to finish off their talk one of them says "And what about those Maple Leafs? Wouldn't it be a great story if they sneak into the playoffs..." Tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 1) Great news about Begin and Bonk. They'll be critical pieces to the Habbers playoff run. 2) Who cares what TSN or any other media source says about Montreal maybe making it, or what a story it would be if Toronto snuck in. Personally I'm not a Leaf hater like alot of people around here and would enjoy seeing all the Canadian teams make it at the expense of Atlanta and San Jose. I'm not saying that cause I'm a leaf fan, but I like the better odds of bringing Stanley home for the first time since '93, as well as its great for the economies of the cities of the playoff bound teams. Unfortunatley things don't look so great for Vancouver and Toronto right about now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I want the leafs as far out of the playoffs as possible. I really do not even want to see them miss the playoffs by a point, ten would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
