Your take: Does Halak make the save?

posted by Kevin Mio at 19h17 EST on Dec 10


DS08 1210 Practice 517.jpg

Since we had a good response last time, we're doing this again.

This time, it's Mike Komisarek trying to undress Jaroslav Halak during practice on Wednesday, with all the action caught by The Gazette's Dave Sidaway.

So, have your say on the play.

Does Halak stone Big Mike, or can the injured defenceman roof one on his young goaltender?

The answer will be posted here on Thursday before the start of the game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

If you flip a coin a thousand times, it should land on heads and tails an equal amount of times (or so they say?!)... Last time this game was played, I believe, it was a save. I'm going with statistics! IT'S A GOAL!

I say Halak gets the toe on it. BIG SAVE!!!

It looks like an obvious save! So my guess is.............IT'S A GOAL!!!! ------------------- Individual records are nice to get, but before the season starts, you want to play to win the Stanley Cup! ~ Guy Lafleur

Touchdown! I mean, save.

He's got the puck at the right place but i don't think he has the space, SAVE ______________________________________________________________________ It will always be the Habs vs. the opposing team + the refs + the goal judge...in Toronto. Yet we have 24 cups and counting.

save hits the pad or a crazy glove save

Gotta be a save, surely!

rp25's picture
Judging by the angle and flex on his stick,the fact that he looks to be going approx. 4 mph on a 47% angle from the net. I must take a guess..NO GOAL!!

Save

Mike has great hands in practice. I bet he gets it done.

SAVE..... Just took another look.I hope Halak plays tonight he needs to play more. Habs Fan 4 Ever & Ever Amen.

It is a trick question. Komisarek miraculously flips it over Halak to O'Byrne who then misses the open net.... _________________________________________ "Respect your efforts, respect yourself.

Jaro saves!

HABZ24's picture
here he comes down the ice,fakes right goes left but....halak slides across and puts out the pad to stop big mike. NO GOAL!!

captaink4life's picture
I just ran a simulation using some very sophisticated computer software based on the angle and flex of the stick, while factoring in Komi's height and weight to find the trajectory of the puck and the results are in: No goal. I'm kidding lol. Nonetheless, I think Jaro gets the pad down and shuts him down. _____________________________ Koivu for Prime Minister :) Drive for 25!!

NO GOAL!! :)

Save it's Komisarek there's a reason we've never seen him in a shootout no way he roofs it

SAVE!

Goal!

Gorges_the_great's picture
100% save. There's no way he can get it high enough. Does anyone else think that the rink looks small? I know it isn't but doesn't it look like Price is really close?

Tom S.'s picture
It's Halak in net, it even says so in the story.

boris420's picture
lol Shania, he's talking about the picture not the story. http://habsonlinetv.blogspot.com/

Just realized the net is pulled up. Who took this photo and how?

captaink4life's picture
They're playing width-wise in one zone so this picture was taken from behind the glass on Jaro's side of the ice. _____________________________ Koivu for Prime Minister :) Drive for 25!!

Look at the flex on that stick... roof daddy!

the_larry's picture
I say Komi somehow roofs a backhand Kovy-style... That, or Kevin is playing with us, and Komi skates it into the corner and passes to the front where O'Byrne puts it in the half-empty net.

Iceberg84's picture
Had I not seen the last one with Price, I would have said 'save' because that's what everyone wants to see, the goalie being awesome since there are 21 guys who can score(theoretically). Since this is #2 though, I'm gonna say goal, just to please the law of averages.

twocents's picture
Komi isn't able to lift it, it's a save.

brad.men5's picture
Komisarek roofs it. He's got plenty of space and time to get a good shot. ________________________________________________________ Check out my blog: http://canadienscentral.blogspot.com/ Leave a comment, give me feedback. Go Habs Go.

i say goal.

WindsorHab-10's picture
Halak STONES him.

Chorske's picture
Agree with the poster who notes the torque on the stick. Komi is going top shelf. GOAL!

Mitch.sc's picture
i say save. my only doubt is that it might be a trick cause it looks like a serious save.

TitoS74's picture
Halak makes the save. Komo doesn't seem like he will shoot the puck higher up than Halak's pad.

It's Komisarek. I love the guy, but a scorer he is not. My money is on Halak.

P St. Pierre's picture
Save.

GOAL!!! KOMISAREK!!

RiverviewCanadien's picture
Komi's stick is torqued...so I say over the pad for a goal...then again Halak is quick so the stick my come up. Nah! Komi scores!!! GO HABS GO!!!

SAVE HALAK! Komo's got hands of stone.

He has him beat... and yet! SAVE. ----- Their defenses are broken! Let the slaughter begin!

Gr8stFranchizEvr's picture
Komi? on a backhander? in close? with the goalie committed? almost anybody else, I'd say goal (exceptions: Higgins, Laraque, Kostopoulos). But, because it's our buddy Komisaurus... save!

coachdoug's picture
Top shelf and let him chase down his water bottle...

Save and a half.

FOR SURE it's a goal. Look at the angle of the stick. That puck is going up.

Tough call, but I'll say he gets it because the last one was saved (law of averages) I believe.

goal...komi shows some flair and drops the puck back to the trailing hab who easily slides it into the empty net...without a stick.

manorrd's picture
The stick looks like it's ready to snap home the shot. Over the pads, and GOAL for Komi.

sidhu's picture
It's a Habs defenseman - he misses the net 5 feet wide.

The Cat's picture
NHL players cant put the puck up, I dont know how many times Ive cursed at the tv lol...So I say Halak makes the save.

JIMVINNY's picture
Roof daddy. Komi scores for sure.

J.T.'s picture
Puck's on the heel of his stick. I say Jaro has it. http://habsloyalist.blogspot.com

after seeing that right leg work some magic last night, I say he saves the day

Haberts's picture
Save! It doesn't look like MIKEYKOOOOMS has his stick placed for much leverage.

cautiousoptimist's picture
Halak stones him like an Old Testament infidel. 1. www.flickeringpictures.com - not a hockey site, but still kinda neat 2. Josh Gorges on Montreal's attack: "They're comin', they're comin' and they keep comin'. Just line after line, wave after wave..."

GOAL!

WestHab's picture
after last night I'm pickin Jaro. In Bob we Trust.

I'm a little more optimistic about Higgins iinjury after he said on CTV that he feels ok. maybe it's not serious after all. and just maybe we won't be forced to watch Lats skating, like a piano is on his back. that's exactly how he looks, a misfit.

JasonM's picture
My opinion, reversed. Gogo Lats, no more butterfingers! oh and that's a save

Dru's picture
Score. Komi roofs it.

Since the stick is flexed and on the heel I am going with SAVe Halak and give him the next one Carbo, Pricer can use the rest and the kid deserves it!

Save Halak!

RudeMood19's picture
I'm going with goal, because everything points to a save, although I do remember Komi scored in a similar situation last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvFKnyS0E_o&feature=related

Save. Komisarek has hands of stone.

head down focus is bashing it through not lifting the puck .. no goal

smiler2729's picture
Halak makes the leg save as Komi can't lift it high enough... road hockey 101. Also, is it just me? I DO NOT want Mats Sundin here!

habsfansince91's picture
that is without a doubt a goal. just look at the positioning of his blade. that puck is destined for the roof of the net.

Harani's picture
I say Mikey scores!!! ET LE BUT!!!

bowzer's picture
halak saves it for sure,komi with his stiff shoulder can't roof this from so close,
