Time For Positives
(Preview)
Well I think I have beaten the CJ firing near to death. In hindsite, there is no question that Gainey could have handled it better and Claude deserved better. However the fact is that he did not get the respect he deserved and that is life. We have all been there right Nilsey? There is no question a change o...

Beating BIG 'D'...
(Preview)
...this is going to be a really difficult test, especially given the state of the centre position on the Habs present roster!
Bob-o...Carbo...AND And-o (I hope the irony of the new coaches nickname is not lost on this board!!!) require Theodore to step-up and instill confidence amongst his mates...

Did Kovy want Julien gone?
(Preview)
What do you think about these statements from Kovy?
Habs forward Alex Kovalev said Gainey's style and insistence on moving the puck forward at all times was a welcome change from former coach Claude Julien.
"I don't know what Claude was telling the defence, but it looked like they were confused o...

Getting point production out of Bonk
(Preview)
I know its only after one game but if Gainey and Carbs get Bonk to produce more to spread out our scoring - isn't that a better form of coaching? You have to adjust with every person on that team as well as motivate each member of the team differently.
Not trying to stir the pot here on the eve of CJ ge...

Enough of this..

Enough of this Ribs and Saks etc..talk. It won't change the fact that we're stuck with these players through this season at least! We will sail or sink with this roster despite their problems!
I think it will help to have Gainey and Carb to get them all on one page! They will show the way an...

At least Sheldon Souray Accepts Responsibility
(Preview)
I need to commend Sheldon Souray for showing leadership and being a man. He is the ONLY guy on that team who came to the defence of his coach and he has gained my respect for that. In his interview on Saturday this is what Souray said:
"If the coach tells you not to take long shifts and you keep on doing it, w...

Have to admit this board has been intertaining with alot going on! The sad part of course was two family men getting the axe. Have to admit though, it caused the shake up we all were expecting especially on this board. Hopefully Habs sustain this with the enthusiasm we board member...

How many times have we made a trade??
(Preview)
Only to have the player become a great somewhere else? I see Ribs is always mentioned as a trade. Isnt he now getting hot?/ So if he is getting hot wouldnt we want to keep him??? Or on the other hand if hes doing well he may bring more. Just my thoughts -- Edited by davidb at 22:14, 2006-01-16

Another reminder....
(Preview)
There's only one guy here who has the right to tell another poster to pack up and get out, so unless you're him, maybe it's not such a great idea to be telling others, no matter how dumb some of the posts have been recently, to get out...
Just an idea for all the pots and kettles out there...

Question
(Preview)
I know some of us felt that when you make a change the players get pumped for a game or two and win. The question I have is, what are we doing different on the PP that we got 7 in two days. More Shooting ?? Crashing the net??? -- Edited by davidb at 22:47, 2006-01-16

I keep reading up on the posts daily here, and all i see is Ribs this and Ribs that...he's still with the team guys, he had a goal and an assist tonight. We hear rumors, and listen to every sport junkie on the habs, but truth is he is 1 point behind Ryder in points, and nobody bashes Ryder. Ryder...

Some remarks from TSN

Bob McKenzie
1/14/2006 6:18:23 PM
In the end, Claude Julien was done in by an old truth and a new reality.
The old truth is that any general manager, in this case Bob Gainey, who didn't hire the head coach, in this case Julien, is more inclined to make a change when things are not going so well.
And...

AB...Yes I call out Ribero as the main fool. That is not because I get some sick enjoyment out of it...I really feel it. You seem to think that one guy can not have a such a big negative impact?

Update on Souray's injury

From home page link:
Canadiens defenceman Sheldon Souray practised with his teammates and said he hoped to play on Monday after missing Saturday's game with a knee injury. Souray also said he wasn't upset upon hearing Gainey's remark that he too could improve his game.

Requiem Posts for CJ

I know there have been many kind words here on the site about Claude Julien and the job he did for the Habs. I thought it would be appropriate for anyone who wants to thank Claude to do so in one place. I know that he'll see the posts and appreciate them. Here's what I'd like to tell him:
Dear Claude,

Three cliques - major problem or hyperbole?
(Preview)
So now we have identified the three factions in the Habs' dressing room. To repeat:
1. Ribeiro, Theodore, Dagenais, etc - the Francophone clique
2. Koivu/Rivet (possibly others) - mutual admiration society
3. Markov, Kovalev, etc. - the Russian connection.
