Tribute to Brisebois

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say that I think Brisebois has been one of our most solid players this season.

Sourray, Markov and Brisebois are doing fine in my eyes. I'm not a Rivet fan but I can understand that he's having an impact on the team in the locker room. Should be a third pairing defencemen.

Bouillion is the perfect 7th guy. Komisarek or Hainsey? Or both? I'm not sure...

Quintal is starting to get old. His speed isn't what it used to be. Maybe this will be his last season?

I'm pretty happy with our Defence. What we need to do is to dump some player. We have way to many of the same kind.

:/) :clap:

I agree , Brisebois has been one of our best and most steady players so far , and its all thanks to Bob Gainey , without Gainey telling the fans to "shutup or leave" (basically sums up what he said) those fans would still be boo'ing...

Brisebois is more confident , and isnt afraid of making mistakes , he isnt questioning himself all the time on the ice.

Plus the reduced icetime has also contributed to his better play , less responsibilities...

While all those things previously mentioned are probably are strong factors, I have to believe that the main factor Breezer's game is better is because of coaching. Somewhere along the line someone told him that in order to succeed in this league, he has to stop doing things that are beyond his abilities and start playing within his means. Do the simple things and only try the complicated in the offensive zone.

If you watch his game, he's become a seriously low-risk player. His passes are, in general, simple ones only of only a few feet, instead of the monster variety that he used to attempt in years gone past. Also gone are the cross-ice, behind the back from behind the net across the crease passes that started the booing in the first place. Instead, he makes tape to tape passes or, if there's trouble, chips the puck up off the glass - something he almost never did.

While coach Green probably has something to do with it, I would guess that Julien stepped in for a meeting with the other two and outlined what he wanted to see from Breezer. Early in the season he was benched for stretches when he fell back into the old habits and it's only in the last ten or so games where he's really come into his own.

Full props to the coaching staff for bringing Breezer around. Certainly, he deserves credit himself for working hard to become a better player, but without the direction from above, there's no reason to believe he would have changed his game at all this year.

Good thread...and interesting...

Due to the unavailability for me watching the Canadiens games over here I haven't really been able to make up my mind about how his play has changed...all I've noticed is that all the bashing of Breezer has radically decreased - and that he probably already has collected more points this season than he did last two or three seasons all together.

I hope he keeps it up! :can: :/)

Visste inte att det fanns så många svenskar med intresse för Montreal Canadiens.

Nu är vi 4 stycken som florerat här inne.

Om du vill se Canadiens matcher så kan det vara en god idé att be någon banda matcherna i Canada för att sedan skicka dem med posten.

Det är i alla fall så jag går till väga.

Bandade? Jag har inget intresse av att titta på matcher som jag ändå vet reslutatet av.

Det bästa vore om någon snäll nisse kunde streama matcherna via nätet. Med en uppkoppling på 10mbps så kan man ju streama ganska hyffsad video i realtid. :)

Klart man vill se Habs-matcher. Speciellt matcher vi vinner. Det är inte så lätt för oss i Sverige att gå tag på live-matcher. Det är ju inte ofta Canal+ orkar sända Montreal :(

Sorry for the swedish :o

:ghg:

Det är en vän till min far som bandar matcherna. En svensk veterinär som jobbar på Montreals travbana.

Jag får matchera ungefär en vecka efter det att dom gått. Det är därför mina inlägg ibland blir lite haltande och inaktuella.

Sedan så brukar jag lyssna på CJAD 800 via Surfer Network om man orkar stanna uppe.

Jäkla tur, det skulle varit jävla fint att kunna se matcherna, även om det är i efterhand. lucky you! :)

Jag är fan stammis på CJAD hehe, har lyssnat på nästan alla matcher i år, funkar helt okej. Sitter faktiskt och lyssnar just nu, och det gör väl du också? :D

Vem är inte stammis? :)

Sedan jag började plugga på universitet har jag nog missat max tre matcher denna säsongen. Med tanke på att jag har en föreläsning i veckan som jag måste upp tidigt till kan jag sitta uppe länge utan att få dåligt samvete :)

1-0 till Canes ny dock...SH dessutom, efter att ha dödat 2 minuter i tre mot fem...:wall:

jävlar anamma... Jag som trodde jag var det värsta och enda svenska montreal-fanet. Tydligen kommer jag inte ens på andra eller tredje plats. Jag orkar inte va uppe sent med mitt jobb. Konsum i sälen under vintersesong e lite drygt. Jag har en del gamla minnen från canal plus matcher.. har bara sett några matcher totalt i år (includerar 1 montreal match. 0 - 1 toronto) men annars brukar det bli många.
