We're not getting J-Bow so move on people. As for giving up Subban,
we have Webber, Fischer, McDonagh, Valentenko, Emelin also on their way up for D, we won't have spots for every single one. I love Subban but he is still not a sure thing. Plenty of kids have played well at the World Juniors and not made good pros, Slaney comes to mind.
Plus the fact that Kaberle is signed for another 2 years makes him even more valauble. J-Bow is a UFA next year and you know some other idiot GM will offer him Brian Campbell $$ so we would never pay him that much.
Note to Bob, get Kaberle before Philly or Boston gets him.

Just replying to some comments about the cory murphy post-sorry i couldnt reply earlier but i was in class-The reason i wanted murphy is due to the fact that the Habs Can clearly use a power play specialist with a booming slapshot and murphy can do just that-all at the league minimum

In class or not, you posted this question earlier and it was shot down then (see my reply and others at 13:10 this afternoon). It would've been a nice courtesy to reply to those who commented on your original post rather than rehashing this Cory Murphy nonsense again.

i say he ends up with tampa or the sens,they need a puck moving dman and he is also a local boy.
Submitted by Habhopeful on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 16:11.
1) If he was dropped by the Panthers, theres a reason to it...
2) hes a small guy, 5'10, i heard someone say 5'8 so 5'10 in comparison isnt so bad ...Surely there are WAY better options
3) thirdly and MOST important of all, he's 30 years old and has played one season in the NHL, and that is this year and hes already been waived...Source: TSN http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/players/bio/?id=6058&hubname=nhl-panthers
4) The waiver rules prohibits us from having any shot at picking him up first anyways, were one of the top teams so the last place teams get first shot...
5) Just because a player is a so-called "power-play Specialist" doesnt neccesarily mean he is one...I like to consider myself a Ladies man, that doesnt mean i can get any hot chick at a bar or for that matter A relativley decent looking chick lol...

The panthers dropped him because they dont need His power play skills because they have Bowmeester and mccabe on the points.and lets face it....streit is no goliath either and made the nhl at 29 so i dont think it was a stupid post.
Submitted by Chorske on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 20:12.
Panthers dropped him because he wasn't good.
repeat/summary of earlier post:
He played 10 min per game, for 7 games, got 1 assist and was -1. He got almost no ice time despite MAJOR injuries to McCabe & the other dude (Jassen Cullimore?). Again, I see nothing there to suggest that he is a PP specialist or that he has a booming shot. Plus- even the panthers dropped him, despite all the injuries they've had on D.
I'd much rather develop Weber than bring in a new spare part, no matter what the discount. I'd even rather bring back O'Byrne.
Submitted by Habhopeful on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 16:28.
if he's still a valueable power play asset, they would have traded him for something in return rather than losing him for nothing...Good point on Streit's size but streit was somewhat well known as he captained the swiss team in the olympics one year and he was drafted at 26 by the habs and developed late but very nicely as well...I thought it was a stupid post cause you made it seem as if we just let a top notch calibre player go when A)he isnt anywhere near a top notch player and B) the Waiver rule...

agree on the slapshot thing. but remember the guy is small, tiny in fact he would be pounded during games and into the playoffs we don't need that. how would he handle bigger players down deep and in front of the net it would not be good in fact it would be down right ugly..nope , nada.

For all you Ryder's one that got away, GIVE ME A BREAK, do you honestly
think he would be putting up those numbers if he were still with the Habs.
If you do you are delusional. I like Ryder but it was time for him to move on, it was obvious he wasn't a favorite of Carbo's. Julien's got him back to where he used to be for us but everyone needs to remember what he was like last year, no scoring and always getting stupid penalties.
And for you Brisebois haters, he is pl;aying way more than he should be. He was only to play maybe 1/2 the games he has played this year.
We need another D-man, forget about Vinny we need Kaberle, and if it costs us Subban so be it we are loaded with future D-man and Kaberle is on contract for another 2 years so make the move BG, now.

Submitted by cautiousoptimist on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 18:45.
Kaberle's shot actually isn't fantastic -- he moves the puck well, but doesn't have a cannon on the point. I'd rather see Ohlund here, even if it takes Kovy to do it. I think we tend to overvalue Kovy because of that one good season, but his 18 goals the previous year and his so-so contribution this year mean that other GMs won't see him as a magician -- just as an inconsistent forward who has flashes of brilliance and long inexplicable lapses, and who too often tends to try to do it all himself. This year he's on track for about 20 goals and 60 points.
Ohlund is the real deal, and right up there with Bouwmeester in my book.

agree, agree on what u said but disagree on Kaberle..aka. mr.softie. he is way to soft in front of his net. when he turns to get the puck he turtles. that being said.. i like his shot from the point he needs to shoot more and pass less. he is okay but not my first choice.
Submitted by Habsrule1 on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 15:43.
You had me until Kaberle. I would not give up Subban for Kaberle. If we're trading Subban (in a package), it's for a Boumeester, or very close to it. I think Kaberle is a big tier below Boumeester.

with bouwmeester's team in the race for 7th and 8th between pittsburgh, buffalo and carolina, i dont see them parting with him. bg should go after kaberle, although i dont think i could handle a prospect really blossoming with the leafs, grabovski already gave me a ascare. i think bg should go after ohlund with the canucks having depth at d and probably looking for offensive help in the form of wingers. i wouldnt trade kovalev straight up for ohlund which someone else on habs i/o has suggested. thats crazy. i think we should go after someone in more the rental role with all of our d prospects, like brendan witt, or schneider (although he is signed for way too much), eric brewer, and darryl sydor. all veteran guys who are out of the playoff picture and could be parted with for little

he may not particularly excel as a superstar on any facet of the game...but he excels as a well rounded dman with above average talent...which are hard to come by

Bobby's got to get that stay at home physical DMan in a trade once healthy bodies come back and we can trade.
I am quite surprised young guys like D'Agostini,Pacioretty and Chipchura have stepped in so admirably and are blooming earlier than we anticipated.
It would be nice if we can get right handed sniper Ilya Kovalchuk from Atlanta or rugged DMan Brendan Witt from the Islanders.
Fat chance for Kovalchuk.

any word on the timeline for higgins. hes been injured since december 9th and i thought he was originally out for 4 to 6 weeks. i'm excited for him to get back and take over kovalev for the lead in "how did he not score there" chances. i guess there is no rush to get him back with max pac and dagger filling in nicely but i hope he gets back soon. hes such a great skater and responsible in his own end. it could also silence the ryderesque trade talk he has been enduring.

Well, has any team ever rolled 5 lines? lol, I think those are all pretty solid lines. The only thing would be the ice time, especially for the contract year players.
I think they should send down Chips, D'Ags, and Stewart until when the roster limit is done, after I think someone said on here, the trade deadline. After that, bring them up with Denis, Maxwell, and O'Byrne
Patches is playing well right now, so I wouldn't send him down yet, even though he's played the least amount of time at Hamilton of the 4
The 3 sent down should be our 3rd or 4th line next year. Don't forget about Maxwell either, if he beef-ens up and learns to play D well in his zone.
Submitted by HAB-PROFESSOR on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 14:44.
Mark my words, when Higgs returns we will start our longest losing streak of the season, we may even drop around 7th to 8th place.
When D'ags, Pax & Stew are sent back and Dandy, Tangy and higgy return we are finished.
Some thoughtful predictions I made at the onset:
1. Ryder's output would put Tangy to shame...it has.
2. The youth movement would elevate our contention for the Cup...it has.
3. Breeze's play would be the weak link and the target of the opposition...it has.
and MOST IMPORTANTLY:
4. Once a rhythm of dominance and confidence was achieved, albeit in this case by a reaction to injuries and the insertion of superior talent and drive, not by Carbs genius...Carb would then dismantle that which has proven to be effective and returned to his contractual obligations to the detriment of the teams success. He has done it before and will do it again.
anyway, I'm not saying anything you haven't already heard from me before, thats because what has been said becomes more relevant as the season progresses.
What I said yesterday was ridiculed, what I say today will be renounced, but tomorrow as it becomes clear....it will be revered.
My opinion, not rose colored....
Carb, please don't dismantle a good squad.
-----
1. KOVY is now in his prime...just needs linemates to step up to his level.
2. Breezegiveaway will be our undoing this season.
3. We will not be serious contenders until Pax, Chip, D'ags, Stew & Web are in the lineup.
Submitted by xaverian001 on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 15:54.
Wow! What an insult to Higgy and Tanguay!!! I love the way the kids have performed on their call-ups, but I would take proven veterans like Higgy and Tanguay over them in a heartbeat.
Give these guys some time to get healthy and back into a rhythm and we'll be flying. You have to look at their overall game rather than just what they are putting up on the scoresheet ... these guys are 2 of the most defensively responsible forwards in the game.
I'm a fan of Ryder's, but his numbers are a result of Boston's overall performance and their system. Credit Julien not Ryder. They're still paying him waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much.
Submitted by HAB-PROFESSOR on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 16:22.
if your right we're happy, If I'm right, we're happy....so as a team we can't lose.
your taking it as an insult to Tang/higgs...try to take it as a compliment to Pax and D'ags, it changes your whole perspective.
Submitted by coachdoug on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 15:44.
I do not feel the team will break down and your prediction is mostly ridiculous pessimism...this team is actually playing better than last years team except for the glaring power play issue...
While I also feel Higgins has been in a long downward slump that started last year, Carbo has to see where he is at...
Higgins has a had a long time to sit around and read the press and he knows that his reputation and contract value are on the line...
I would love to see the Higgins of old come back to form for the good of the team...may or may not happen but Carbo has to play him if we are not on the bubble in 8th place...any coach would do it...you have to...
I do agree that some of the youth has to stay...MaxPac or Dags for sure...
On the subject of the PP that still needs to be solved before the playoffs...that will be our undoing...although like the guy in Monty Python's Holy Grail the Habs PP is "not quite dead yet...I actually think I am getting better...might pull through really..."
Submitted by HAB-PROFESSOR on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 15:59.
wow, it took awhile, but finally an intelligent response to my concern.
Coach, lets compare the mindset of who I'm talking about, D'ags, Pax, VS Tang, Higgs.
D'ags - I have to prove myself, I got the callup of my dreams, I had great success with the Captain, the captain was injured, I went to the 4th to work on my defensive game, the captain is coming back...I really can't wait to see if we can continue our dominance.
Pax - I have to keep proving myself, I got the callup of my dreams, I am playing with one of the greatest playmakers/talent forwards in the world, I am having great success, Kovy is teaching me that patience rewards, and doing the simple things rewards, and support is always around.
Tang - I've been down the road before, I'm not too excited. I am concerned about that concussion and then a shoulder injury, maybe I lost that edge, do I have to dig that hard in the corners, am I losing my speed, because without that I'm doomed...hope things fall into place when I return...damn those kids have looked good out there.
Higgs - I have to pace myself, can't ruin my career with an uncalled for injury, am I trying to hard, gripping the stick, not showing enough patience, why the heck am I not scoring 40 goals because I sure have the chances...damn those kids look great out there.
anyway, the point is there are different 'attitudes' at play here, I'm sure you get that concept, being a coach.
Submitted by coachdoug on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 16:10.
A wise mentor once told me "Never confuse enthusiasm with capability..."
The attitude part is probably right on the money...these young guys are living the dream...called up and alongside Kovalev for Pax...and the kid is willing to do the dirty work for the artist!
Million dollar question when the playoffs comes...can these guys continue at this level and not get intimidated???...playoff hockey is a whole different animal...
Given the success thus far I would gamble on Pax and Dags...but Carbo and his boys know way more about hockey than all of us and they are in the dressing room and on the ice...
It will be interesting after the AS break...One thing for sure is given the Habs record with the kids and minus Koivu it makes it hard on the GM and coaches...not so cut and dry
Submitted by HAB-PROFESSOR on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 16:19.
dead on with Pax, he is reminding me of Ribero when his only purpose on the ice was to get the puck to Kovy...that was kind of funny, and Pax is doing the same thing, doing the dirty work to deliver to Kovy, but Kovy will deliver back and Pax isn't shy about being in the right place...its all about chemistry and respect.
Your right, big decisions ahead...

Gee Mr. H-P, can I hold your playbook? Run and get you a double latte with a shot of Red Bull? Fart rose scented gaseous emissions for you? For someone who has been a fan since "primordial nucleosynthesis" I would think that you should know not to pronounce a hockey team's future with such certainty.It's a game. Stuff happens nobody can predict. But loading a winning team with rooks just because you have a hate on for a few players won't win you diddly.
Submitted by HAB-PROFESSOR on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 15:45.
I'm not worried at all about the "rookies" who by the way 3 of 4 are older than Lats....D'ags,Chip,Pax are older than Lats and Sergie, Stew is the same age. This has nothing to do with HATE, and everything to do with TALENT. If you can't see it....keep watching, soon you'll be a believer.
Submitted by joeybarrie on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 15:23.
And more, Your precious ROOKS are all in the minus category in plus minus, and Tanguay, Koivu and Higgins are all in the plus. Don't get me wrong, I love our new guys and they have played great. BUT CAPTAIN KOIVU, ASST HIGGINS AND OUR LEADING SCORER TILL HE GOT INJURED THEY ARE NOT...I am still baffled by the shear nonsense of this post.
Submitted by HAB-PROFESSOR on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 15:32.
how the heck can you be baffled? I've been saying since DAY 1....no actually the PRE-SEASON that PAX, D'ags, STEW, WEB & Chip, THE YOUTH MOVEMENT need to get on the roster and FAST...maybe not all of them, but the best of the bunch and they need to replace certain players.
now because of INJURY they got a chance, and we are 11-1-1 or something like that since they arrived...remember, D'ags with 6 goals in 6 games before Koivu got hurt and he went to the 4th line, then PAX on Kovy's line...
the proof is on the ice, by a miracle we got to see our real talent, and now as I feared the likes of Higgs and Tangs and Dandy are healing, ready to return so its goodbye to the winning ways...as the Youth movement is dismantled.
Submitted by joeybarrie on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 15:45.
Stew has played 1 game... D'ags only did well when he played with Koivu, Pax is doing ok. and Chips is not... So your theory is LOST.

the underlying factor that the players are the ones that get to play and determine the outcome of the game...carbo's squad is 10x better than the ones the aforementioned coaches had.
i'm indifferent about carbo...but he's made some bonehead decisions...
i.e. lapierre line on second half of the PP then spezza's line comes straight out and alex kovalev's line is trying to shut them down...great move carbo! not.

Every coach makes mistakes, but he has done an amazing job. That's easy to see.

On this Prof. YOU ARE WAY OFF. In fact I'm shocked at your ridiculousness. Tanguay has a higher points per game than Ryder, and so far Tanguay has double the production of Ryder last season. The fact that you really believe Having Koivu, Tanguay, Higgins and Price back would weaken our team, well I have no words to describe this lunacy. PURE STUPIDITY.
The only saving grace you have said, and to be honest its obvious to even my dog, the fact the Breezbye is killing us. He is weak, his passes suck and constantly put us in bad, bad situations. When he is on the ice I pray he gets a penalty cause we would be better off down a man, than having him on the ice.

Agreed, except you are wrong about Brisebois. You are in the group that only notice his mistakes. He is playing more than he should, otherwise he probably would not be making any. He's a bit tired some games, we can see, but he's the only D-Man not named Markov that ever passes forward...and he's very accurate. He is a decent 6th D-Man and a great 7th.

OH CMON. I am in the group that has been watching Breezebye (I DIDNT GIVE HIM THAT NAME) for MANY MANY MANY YEARS. We all know what he does. His play is good this season. HOWEVER his giveaways are COSTLY. EXTREMELY COSTLY. Yes you are right I notice his mistakes. MAYBE ONLY HIS MISTAKES. BUT when he makes 10 a game, its tough not to notice. So I bring you around to his NAME... BREEZBYE. I DID NOT GIVE IT TO HIM...
Submitted by Habsrule1 on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 15:53.
As I said, you are wrong about him. Just for fun, I emailed Francois Gagnon for his opinion on Breezer. He agrees with me that the man is playing very well, but is playing a little too much...and that is when he makes his 1 or 2 errors in a game....not 10 as you have dreamed up.
In any case, we could use a 6th D-Man so BREEZER could play a little bit less.

hold on a minute...I didn't say anything about KOIVU or PRICE.
I simply said that when HIGGS returned and the youth movement of D'ags, Pax, Stew etc where sent away, we'd start to spiral downwards in the standings.
Yes I'd keep D'ags and Pax over Tang, Higgs...100%.
Submitted by joeybarrie on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 15:38.
OH im sorry, its only half our injured players that will come in and mess with the perfect system. Price and Koivu get a pass in your book, and the PERFECT SYSTEM will only be slightly altered in a perfect way when these guys come back... And of course Higs and Tang TWO 50+ point players will mess us up. And for this you'd keep 2 Rookies with a total of 30 NHL games played?????? TRULY MORONIC
Submitted by Habsrule1 on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 15:33.
Not having said anything about Price and Koivu doesn't make your post any less ridiculous.
Might be the dumbest thing I read since....since....since your last post.

when Dandy, Higgs and Tang return and we are playing under .500, and the youth movement is in Hamilton....then will it be ridiculous?
I'm just forwarding my opinion that we are playing Great right now, so there is 110% NO NEED to reinsert the tang/higgs/dandy.
oh well, time will tell...then the posts will say, "maybe we should call up Pax, he was doing ok, or maybe D'ags can help re-ignite Koivu because they had some chemistry earlier in the season."
Submitted by joeybarrie on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 15:41.
If we are at 110% why insert PRICE OR KOIVU???? See this is what makes you truly dumb...

OK its official, you are the absolute DUMBEST and Most ridiculous poster on HIO. Thats it, THE DUMBEST EVER...
Submitted by Habsrule1 on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 15:40.
The youth movement is doing fine. I'd be ok if Higgins stayed off, but Tanguay was playing very well.
Really, it's more the rest of your points that make you sound like someone who has never watched a hockey game in their life.

higgs and dandy could be traded so that would solve that problem. as far as tang is concerned he is here to stay this year at least...that is not going to change.

1- higgins is the assistant captain.
2- ryder is playing with marc savard.
3- the retrun of mike komisarek has been the reason for our most reason success along with the play of our best players up front lang, plek, kovy, lapierre, ak46, everyone else has complimented them, not been the reason for our success.
4- breezeby is our 6th defenseman, the 6th defenseman on every team is gonna be a liability. but he has been playing way better than last year. no one passes better than him.
5- although all four lines are rolling with the rooks, replacing them with our talented forwards will not cause a nose dive, especially with the easy schedule we have had as of late.
6- after watching a carb press conference he is definitely the man for the job. handles the pressure like a champ, and the team always seems to respond after intermission when they have been outplayed by the opposition.

Re: 2. Ryder is playing with Krejci & Wheeler, but point taken, krejci has been sick this year...BTW i dont know if anyone knows boston is down 2-1 to St. Louis right now in the 2nd

1. Tangual has 26 points in 34 games played.
Michael Ryder has 32 points in 45 games.
Far from putting him to shame. As a matter of fact, Tanguay .76 ppg, Ryder .71 ppg
2. Your fill-ins have done ok, but they have not volted us into playoff contenders. We were contenders before they were called up and we will continue to be.
3. Brisebois has been very good, and only because you only see his mistakes is why you dream about the opposition targeting him and him being the weak link.
4. Carbonneau was Gainey's "best move" in the 5 years he's been GM....but then you know better than BG & Carbo.
Where do you get off blathering on with your unresearched and unproven points?!?!?

How impressive was his -4 last season? And his GREAT SHOWING OF POINTS??? I'd take back Streit with 33 points on the worst team in the league. How about Souray?? or Maybe were screwed cause we didn't sign Sundin or Lemieux as a free agent??? Talk about a guy who's attitude sucked last season and couldn't come near his production rate on a team that scored the most goals in the league???

Joey, can you confirm that Ryders Attitude "SUCKED"last year?
