Audio: Halak, Kovy both play – Carbo

Carbo sounds in over his head. I am pretty sure these guys don't need this tough taskmaster talk from him right now. He should harness the feeling that this team and season are under siege and foster a sense of common purpose within the team. Let Gillette come in and yell and deliver a whipping and then Carbo should turn to them after he exits and say: Ok Guys we can do this... We can turn this around, We can salvage this season and regain the respect of our bosses, our fans, and our team's own legacy. We need to do it for each other, for each and everyone in this room right now, we have to shut out the noise that is surrounding this team and put our total focus on the ice, we have everything we need right here in this room to be successful, we proved that last year, we can rise to this occasion and put all this stuff behind us, but... we can only do it if we do it together, if we remember our commitment to each other and make sure that every decision we make between now and whenever this season ends is a decision that is best for our team, for each other, right here. Everyone is counting us out right now, but we know we have what it takes, let's prove them wrong and show the world how much this team means to us... That's the type of thing I think is needed from him right now. Pardon the drama but, it just came out that way.

I like the decision to put Halak in tomorrow.Price just is'nt himself lately,maybe the pressure is getting to him,dunno..something just 'aint right. Halak seems to have more poise,looks more comfortable and I think he is the hungrier of the two. Anyway,hope he plays great and we win.

Check Halak's stats before U praise him. He's not all that!!! He had his share of bad games this year. When Halak sucks you will cry for Price again. You people can't read & You are PATHETIC as well..........

That's OK Guy, we'll see you and Breezer in hell.

I agree with PRICEBERG , I don't get why price keeps getting the boot , CARBO DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING

Sometimes when I see the line ups and line combos or whos's in and who's out.....it feels like my heart is breaking.

Carbo can't even stick with a Goalie. Halak was the so called "Man" & he played. He play OK. He lost the game to Vancouver so he gets the boot & Price gets the next start. Price plays great in Washington but looses. The next game he lost by one goal & he gets the Boot. All Carbo knows how to do is jugle lines and Goalies. Any fool can coach if this is all one has to do!!!! CARBO CAN'T COACH!!!! WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE REALIZE THAT!!!!

For everyone crapping on Carbo, just think about the things that are being revealed about this team for a minute... imagine if you were the coach of this inmature, dysfunctional group of millionares. I know much of what we are hearing and seeing on the internet or in our email in boxes (the photos of Price, D'ags, Chips, etc. on a party) may be misrepresenting the actual situation, but it's certainly an indication that these guys may not be taking their early NHL careers as seriously as they ought to be. I look at the demise of Theodore or Riberio as a shining example of why Montreal is not a great city in which to develop young talent. They are treated like gods, let into all of the hottest spots, have pretty young girls hanging off their arms any time... wait, am I jealous or actually making a point? Anyway, the off-ice distractions became so immense for the club when Jose's family was linked to illegal activities, the guy had to be moved out of town! I hope Gainey cracks the whip and that Carbo can keep them in line... I also hope the veterans (especially like Scheinder... he could be a coach some day) are able to talk some sense in to the kids and help them understand the decisions they make today will have a lasting effect on their futures. There are some other legitimate reasons for the recent slump, including the loss of a lot of key players for various periods of time over the past month or so... hopefully Tanguay and Lats are healthy soon. I also hope AK27 really does feel stronger and is able to come back and play like he did last year. All is not lost. It's good that this stuff is coming out now. Hopefully, the team can quickly put this behind them and get in a good place from now until the end of the season... a win on Saturday would go a long way to helping them get on the right track.

pricee shouldd be startinn tommorow....hes our #1..he needs to get into a solid rhythm...im getttin fed up with carbo

Looking back, I think the fans are also responsible for our team's problem. we have voted 4 all stars in the starting lineup. Price is obviously not an all star yet. The event has probable screwed up his brain. He also tried to come back too soon :( Goaltending hurt our team the most.

Just heard Rejean Tremblay on Radio Canada saying that he doesn't understand why the montreal media were expecting so much to come out of the LaPresse article. Mmmmmmmmmmm, maybe, just maybe, it's because of the ridiculous pump up job your own reporter did on TV last night? That being said, Tremblay seemed to imply that there was a whole lot more known by the media that they just couldn't air - sounded like drugs. Francois Gagnon has made little sense also. Heard him this morning start off by saying that if this had only been about them being acquainted with the guy it would't have been a story but later saying that it was a big story because they were acquainted to him. OK Franky.... _____________________________________________________ Mad Pax...Beyond Powerdome

Anyone know what retro unis they'll be wearing tommorow? I hope not the prison stripes although they would be the most appropriate!

New York Islanders just got a first rounder for Comrie and Campoli. Ottawa also sent them Mcammond along with the pick. I think Islanders did well although not too familiar with Campoli. Any thoughts?------------------- Individual records are nice to get, but before the season starts, you want to play to win the Stanley Cup! ~ Guy Lafleur

Stubbs, thanks for all the audio feeds. my only beef is that we can't usually hear the questions. sometimes the answers reveal them, but other times, no matter how the players or coaches reply, we're in the dark. any way to adjust that? appreciated! keep up the nice work!

Ghandi Lech Walesa Nelson Mandela Willy the Giant Whale Now Kovy is free at last!!! Welcome back Kovy...now please score a bunch of goals...your true fans stand by you in solidarity.... Go Habs Go!

I have nothing to say really but my avatar should be worth at least a few words if not a thousand. Since this whole thing has become a three ring circus I figured we could use some comic relief from Carbozo the clown.

Dear Coach Guy, Please play the best players more than the weak ones. Please play Dandy at D ahead of Patrice Brisebois. Please don't play Stewart more than the vets. Please give Begin a game or two, both D'ags and Pacioretty are comfortable with a game off, they are just happy to be here and their play has levelled. Respect a players solid play with more ice instead of the processional play, particularly on the road so match ups are more difficult. Why is BGL playing 3-5 mins a game, it is apparent to all that he hurts the team too much defensively, Begin is avail to spell him off, our fourth line can not be a energy line when the players have to worry about BGL's lack of speed. I know you love Tom the bomb but he is a 3rd to fourth line player and should never to top TOI forward. I know you like Breezer and want him to get his milestone but are not the playoffs more important? I know you want him to be coach but he has no experience just like Muller, I hope he plans to learn his craft in Jr or the AHL. Please if you want to keep your job, go to Bob and get some help, there is no shame in that, it simply shows that you put the teams needs ahead of your own.

This is the looniest I've seen Montreal get since the Patrick Roy debacle. The team sucks, the GM and coach are out of answers, and mobsters are trying to infiltrate the club. It's absolutely nuts. I keep expecting them to switch back to being a winning team, but it doesn't happen, and doesn't look like it will. The Habs need probably 27 pts in the next 23 games ... can they get there? And if they do, how ridiculous will they look against the B's in the first round? What about Carey Price? Somebody name me a goalie who has pulled out of a funk like this and gone on to be a great goalie. Please, give me some hope. Right now, I wouldn't play him down the stretch at all, unless it's the second-half of back to back games against a Timbits Novice club. "I guess Gainey is out to prove that you CAN fire 23 players and keep your coach." - Fun Police

How many pts will the Artiste get tomorrow? A) 4+ B) 3 C) 1 or 2 D) All of the above Call it. Peace Out _____________________________________________________ Lord Bugs Potter, esq. Earl of Fluppitburg, Baron of Fleenshire County and Knight of the Flannel Republic.

For those of you wanting Carbo replaced....he will probably become assistant GM to Gainey, he got exec experience down in Dallas and when Gainey first came up.

Some folks here are obviously in the wrong line of work, or maybe they are sending messages from their comfy seats as General Manager's in the NHL. Nah...I didn't think so..lol

What an absolutely brilliant decision. You go with a better goalie (at the moment) and with a star forward in the lineup. Wow! That's why they must be paying Carbonneau the big bucks.

Can somebody tell me what Ottawa is thinking?!?! To Ottawa : Mike Comrie (UFA at end of year) Chris Campoli To Long Island : Dean McAmmond 1st round pick (probably SJ's)
