As far as the line combos go, Id be tempted to switch Lang and Plekanec. Im pretty sure Kovalev wants to play with Lang.
Submitted by showey47 on Thu, 11/20/2008 - 19:44.
and play pleky with the brothers, with andrei on the right side. I would also like to see bgl get some pp time tonight. Put his big body in front of the net and pound away from the point.
Submitted by twocents on Thu, 11/20/2008 - 20:01.
Showey, I thought I would admit that the lines did not work very well the other night, as you predicted. Lang and the brothers K weren't that bad though. I also thought that Lats showed more jump than he had for several games. So maybe a game on the 4th line reminded him how he should be on one of the top three and that he needs to play hard to stay there.

Last year was great, wasn't it? We can agree on that. There were low spots. But OVERALL, we had a dang good year.
Thought Eric Engels did a fine job of putting things in perspective.
Last year, same time, we had an extra point and were about to embark on a 4-7-3 streak.
Perspectez-vous?

As I guess you've gathered by now, many of us on here really appreciate what nightmare49 does on a daily basis. Include me to that list. He has a better eye for good hockey content than anyone I have ever come across. As far as good business goes, as several others have pointed out, I almost always access other sites content through the links posted here, including nightmare's. Those redirects are part of how this site's value grows. This is home base for me when it comes to hockey and nightmare is part of the reason why.
Submitted by 24 Cups on Thu, 11/20/2008 - 17:55.
Yes, this is a Habs' site but I was also under the impression that we were all open minded enough to enjoy the world of hockey in general. After all, it's the love of the game that brought us all here. BTW, when you know half as much about hockey as NM49 does, then you can be critical of the content that is found on this site. I for one, look forward to Brian's information posts each and every day. It has become part of my breakfast routine.

I gotta agree, I thought we were here to Blog and discuss/argue. If I wanted useless articles about EVERYTHING under the sun, I would go to Google insideout.... Supposed to be our ideas and thought, not links to other people's thoughts.

Does it really matter? If you don't like them don't read them. Have you ever gone to the links? They are actually good sites and different articles than the ones that we get on TSN, the Toronto star and Gazette. I kind of like them...sometimes I go to them sometimes I don't....that simple.
Submitted by kostityns746 on Thu, 11/20/2008 - 17:10.
hey KNOB or whatever your user name is, you do realize this site is sponsored and put together by the gazette right??? why would you want to be advising readers and encouraging them to go visit tsn, cbc and other related sites, seems like bad business practice. maybe these sites have more level headed habs fan. must be the warm beer with the straw you got going on there.
Submitted by g on Thu, 11/20/2008 - 18:48.
A blog provides commentary or news on a particular subject. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Congratulation HIO and NM49 you are doing it right.
And Knob-really?
Submitted by Chorske on Thu, 11/20/2008 - 17:46.
What everyone else said, plus: unless I'm mistake, clicking those links counts as a referral from HIO- this is good because it is another statistic (in addition to direct traffic to HIO) that encourages folks to advertise on this site... which, as Boone put it, pays the bills.
Submitted by DD on Thu, 11/20/2008 - 17:40.
I am a Habs fan first, but I am also a hockey fan. I happen to enjoy reading Nightmares 49 posts. I have a simply solution to your problem, if you don't like them, don't read them. Don't try to "dick"tate to the rest of us, what we should or shouldn't read. If the Gazette had a problem with Bryan's posts, I'm sure they would have said something by now. Just try to remember that knowledge = power. Have you burnt any good books lately?
BTW His name is Krob 1000 and he's been posting here since the conception of this site, as has Nightmare 49, show some respect.

You obviously got some issues bud maybe you should worry about them instead of what links someone posts...there are some readily avialble medications to help your anger issues. BTW you ever notice the Gazette posts links to other sites and ....get this....even other news outlets.....ooooh.....what terrible business practice. I'm surprised the Gazette still has them in their employ. I see by the growth charts they should probably stop doing that because other readers might .....come here before they go to another site.....gee wouldn't want that as a business person would you. Hmmm ...even before people go to other news outlets they come here and pad HIO's numbers for their advertisers....terriible ...doesn't seem like you notice too much.
Submitted by JIMVINNY on Thu, 11/20/2008 - 17:37.
That's stupid. in case you haven't noticed, our HI/O guys also post articles from other sites, so if Nightmare wants to do it too, let it go. Nobody censors you, so stop trying to do it to someone else. Nobody forces you to read the articles, so ignore them if you don't want to read them.

OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH. You know last season at this point we had 21 points and 49 goals for compared to 22 points and 53 goals for this season. Our record was 9-4-3 compared to 10-5-2... Oh man but we are SO BAD this year. We are ahead of our progress last season. Remember the talk of not making the playoffs, Maybe 8th spot..... Then we came in 1st. I hope our team has more FAITH than the fans. We aren't playing to our capacity yet...In fact I don;t think we are playing very well at all. But there is a LONG road ahead, and we are looking the same as last year when we were all writing off our chances and asking for heads to roll, FIRE EVERYONE, HIRE ALL THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE.....WHAT THE HECK IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT???????
Submitted by kostityns746 on Thu, 11/20/2008 - 16:48.
honestly sometimes i wonder what people on this site are thinking, of course on blogs you are supposed to respect others opinions, but so far, id say 50-60% of those who post on this site, express un realistic opinions, and are over critical of the team. these are exactly the type of fans, that would BOOO a player who missed a play or they dislike. this is un-excusable behaviour. its early in the season, we're in the hunt for first place, we've had some great victory's as well as some bad games... did you expect the habs would be 82-0 ????? in carbo and gainey we must trust, these are the pro's. have been envolved and in the game. not just hiding behind a pc screen and watching games from the sofa drinking warm labatt 50. these guys know what they're doing. so relax..... sometimes i feel like leaving this site, and joining leafs inside out lol

"...and HAINSEY etc... have in common with our current plight? they were TOUGH SOB's... and they are LEADERS....and we let them go for nothing."
We lost Hainsey through re-entry waivers... nobody wanted to lose him. The other option was leaving him in the AHL, but we needed him up at the time and gambled... and lost.
And hey - yeah, I'd love to see AK47 with Koivu (and wouldn't mind seeing the little bro on the other side for a few shifts either). I wouldn't be surprised if we see that tried at some point this season (and perhaps soon).
You all know Carbo comes on here and reads this stuff before they decide on the line-ups. Why do you think he said he wasn't going to make any changes? He figured he'd leak that, we'd all post what the lines should be and he'd just copy them.
Submitted by twocents on Thu, 11/20/2008 - 16:36.
I believe Hainsey was lost through the old waiver draft system where each team had to submit a protected list in the preseason of all eligible players they wanted to protect up to a certain maximum. That may have been the same mechanism that lost us Vokun.

Skots is really not in right place. . . I'm worried about that guy. Send him down and lose him to KHL? Doubt it, but worth considering. If he's not in top three lines he shouldn't be playing. Swap with higgins would be better fit if skots were playing better. . . and given higgins isn't great either per report (have missed last game and a half) who's to say he's any better up on line 2?
Submitted by JasonM on Thu, 11/20/2008 - 16:27.
Great move putting Lats back on the first line, back to their original success at the start of the season. I'm also excited what Pleks line can provide. Interesting to see Sergei on the 4th but his play has been weak as of late. Anyone know why Lapierre is being benched for? Matter of circumstance or did he do something wrong?
All I hope for and ask for is for some passionate hockey from our boys against the Sens and build it up for Sats game when #33 will have his Jersey retired.
