Pacioretty farmed; Sergei with Plek, AK46

How many times this year has Montreal scored 4 goals and still lost the game? These goalies do not belong in this league.

I have always thought that a team's momentum lies with the last line of defence. The goalies. The players can play as well as humanly possible, but when they look back and see a goalie time after time, game after game , let in soft goals it definitely has to deflate their egos and hence their abilities to play at a high level.Just look at their faces against T.O. when Halak let in those soft goals. If any one of you were a hab player wouldn't you be saying to yourself by now--"what's the use". There is too much pressure in this city to let young guys shoulder the burden alone. A veteran is needed to, if nothing else, just for support. what have we got now? 2 kids who are absolutely terrified with the pressures on them and a team who charges out (usually) every game and then just descends into depression and anger (hence the bad penalties) as these other team"s goalies stop shot after shot and then a harmless shot goes in against. For this reason, and this reason alone, the G.M. has to lose his job this year. This is a mistake of epic proportions. I'm sure there are a lot of other things wrong but a good coach should address them (like how come Alex Kovalev doesn't sweat):) thanks for letting me vent a bit.

Sell the team.....? I say we put names in a shoebox and raffle their hasses off! I heard Higgins talk about public banter - FANs really need a new hobby. Hockey is a great sport, but lets be civil and let these guys eat in peace. Carbo got canned because he could not communicate effectively with the players. It may be the comments and/or statements he was making had litle intrigue. Not many kids wind up with 90+ averages in school if their teachers do not communicate well. Na-na-na-nah, hey heyyye, good bye....

Food for thought and little more... Under Gainey, each goalie has 3 decisions. Price is 1-0-2 and Halak is 0-3-0 making Gainey's record with the club 1-3-2 in his 6 games behind the bench, starting in Edmonton, earlier this month. They've been pretty much obliterated in shots in each of those games of course and the team as a whole hasn't done much of anything save for Lappy and Lats in the past 2 games.

fearless prediction: 4 point night for serge tits tomorrow........in a 7-4 loss to the thrash

Good news and bad news...I'll be at the Bell for the last time before I move back to N.S this Saturday...good news I'm behind the bench...with my amazing whisper technology ...I'll let you all know if I hear anything lol

HURRICANES SAVE OUR AS* IN OVERTIME *** THEY WON 3-2..BUT PANTHERS AND HABS ARE NOW TIED FOR 8TH WITH 81 POINTS 808s & Heartbreak is a good album - especially made for Habs fans, thanks Kanye West

i love latendresse, unlike higgins the big mouth that he is....that kid is cocky, he needs to get traded asap, i think koivu got to his head or something.. 2 comments.....latendresse after saturdays game (im ashamed, families and fans coming to see this game, expensive tickets purchased to come watch us play so poorly....some of those fans dont even have good salaries and they still come and watch us) the other comment (higgins....the same people that booed us tonight are the same people that will be honking their horns when we win....)...kid who the ****???? do you think you are.....no *** its the same fans that will be honking their horns and booing you...they pay for your salary....a salary that you clearly dont deserve......the kid talks like he won 2 stanley cups....higgins should think about taking a quick shower and heading home after the games...let koivu face the media, he's the captain.....you go home and watch some videos of goals you scored LAST year.. anyways it was something like that....im losing it with this bunch of useless shits, the nerve... as for Gainey....i dont care about anything, i just care about the fact that he is the GM...and he failed....not last summer, not in the beginning of the season.....but when the trade deadline came and he failed once again to bring us a center knowing that lang was not coming back......(metropolit was not it) one last thing...and its the honest truth....i still believe in kovalev...but i think its his last 10 games with the habs....its been 2 games since he has not played anywhere near the level he can play...especially that he can make the difference and he usually is the type of player that loves the spotlight and loves to be the "hero"......well its that time my friend....if kovy doesnt wake up...we're not going anywhere.....clearly koivu is trying but he just cant...you can see it... KOVY NEEDS TO SAVE THE TEAM!

Panthers score on a 5 on 3 PP. Game tied at 2-2!!!

2-1 hurricanes end of second...yess canes saving our as* right now!!! 808s & Heartbreak is a good album - especially made for Habs fans, thanks Kanye West

Stewart Out Again!!!?? And Max Pac Down okay fair enough but i would send Dags down before him... Anyways im not the coach "They Chant Carbo As A Deflection It's Not Carbo You Wan't What You Wan't Is For The Players To Play Better Carbo.....Not The Answer"

Yo...dudes...Marty can be beat!!!!!!

It's Gainey's desperate lineup with no difference from Carbo's during last playoff vs Flyers - Gambling! If gambling, Gainey should have gambled theses lines: A. Kostitsyn - Plekanec - S. Kostitsyn Latendresse - Lapierre - Tanguay Stewart - Kostopolous - D'Agostini Higgins - Metropolit - Dandenault Sit Koivu and Kovalev? yes, sit them! It's time for LAPIERRE and SK47 to dominate the game, no more Koivu's, no more Kovalev's.

I have come to the conclusion that it is worse reading the negative posts on this site than watching the team play. My poison is watching the team. Enjoy wallowing in your negativity. HIO is like the housing bubble. It is will burst. We will let the advertisers decide. It was good idea when it started but the posts are ruining it. So long - hopefully we will meet in the playoffs. mjames

Analysis: 1) best of best. 2) young up and comers. Futures. 3) Higgins for Kosto, whom I love, and that makes sense. 4) Should be an effective 4th line. Question 1: Can talent produce, re line 1? (Koivu/Kovy hasn't yet really worked.) 2) Is there a shooter on the #1 line? (yes kovie, but...) 3) Can plex make AK get a shot on net? 4) Defense? 5) 2nd period? 6) Shots for? 7) Heart, effort? and a bonus: Will someone, please, learn to drift into/stay in a 'shooting position', consisting of slot, circles, point, side of net, etc, get a pass that has a tad of mustard on it, and take shots? 'Cuz, like, shooting from a shooting position and setting up camp where yer dangerous... it's tough and not easy and they defend it and all that, but... there be payoffs.

I hope that Gainey has the sense to put the Franchise in net on Tuesday night.

Well I guess you can add that to the list of reasons a player might not want to come here. Although in this case it might be why a player wouldn't want to stay here. But some people think that since he's being paid the big bucks that entitles them to talk to these guys this way. Talk about no class. GO HABS...

I am campaigning MAXIM LAPIERRE as our next Captain. Young, hard working player who gives 100% for the rouge-bleu-blanc. A gentleman off the ice as well, a true leader! Sad to say, I question Saku's leadership ability on this disastrous season, the finger must be pointed at him as well. "We will win the Cup only with Carey Price in the nets"

I think to instill fear Habs should re-unite The Mob line: AK46 - Hammrlik (why not?) - SK

Obviously I don't agree with this move, we have sent down one of our better players, how in the world is that good for the team. He is going to learn more in Hamilton than Montreal!!!!!!!! quite the mentally deficient statement that is!!!!!! anyway, once again we have a "NEW" set of lines! bloody amazing!, do they have some kind of computer system upstairs? because I thought all the mathematical combinations had been used up! oh well, anything is possible...even a big turnaround to this skid... ----- 1. KOVY is now in his prime, he just needs linemates at his level. 2. The N.A.G. Youth Movement of PAX, D'AGS, OBRYNE & STEWY will make us cup contenders. 3. CALL UP HENRY RIGHT NOW....

I pray Saku,Kovy,Plecks,and the rest of the geritol crew take a hike EH!

1-1 between canes and florida still 1st 808s & Heartbreak is a good album - especially made for Habs fans, thanks Kanye West

I like the lines. Higgins doesnt belongs on the 1st 2 lines as goal challenged he's been. Maybe he wont be told "you suck" if he is on a hard working grinder line. But all the lines are still weak if we cant get control of the puck and move it out effectively out of our own end.
