Hurtin' unit in Edmonton
(Preview)
Talk about a downhill slide through the game.
The Oilers can skate, but so can we, and we showed them how in the first. Penalties were the key and 4 to Edmonton in #1, with the balance to Montreal in the 3rd, and that was that.
The guys looked a little flat in the 2nd, especially after flying in the 1...

Poll #2: Ribs
(Preview)
An obvious one, but the question is: Is Ribs a benefit or a liability to the team? Not should we trade him, but more his essential value at this juncture. Again, no reasons needed.
Myself - I vote liability

Michel Therien to coach Penguins?

According to CBC, Eddy-O was axed (along with all/most assistants) and Therien is being brought in. Anyone else hear anything?

What happened to all the Ribs fans?
(Preview)
Just wondering, last time there was hockey there were big debates about Ribs over Saku. How Ribs was a great player, blah, blah, blah. This year, he is playing the same way but no one is defending him.
A poster who was really behind him last year was AB Habman, no comments about him this year?

where are the naysayers when we win?
(Preview)
I am just curious where the people calling for the heads of every important member of the franchise are when we win? Does one game really make you change your mind? Does Gainey still need to go? How about CJ? Theo and Ribs? What miracle did these guys pull off to merrit staying with the team? And why...

Kovy and Sak info
(Preview)
Kovy won't play until next Tuesday when the Sens take on the Canadiens. Saku won't play until Saturday night, when he will face his brother in Minnesota.
We need a big performance from Theo and the kids again...

Salary cap creeping up
(Preview)
The salary cap could leap as much as 15% next year to $45 mil, and the rise will depend on the individual team's revenue.
Sounds like all the Winnepeg and Hallifax fans hoping for a team can forget about it. Another 5 or 6 years of this sort of thing, and we'll be right back where we started from.

This from Red Fisher's column:
------------------------------------------
There's nothing complicated about what it takes to win, even for a Canadiens team without Alex Kovalev and Saku Koivu: have the real Jose Theodore show up, and bring in the power from unlikely sources.
And oh yes,...

Canucks in DESPERATE need of a goalie
(Preview)
Canuck's goalie Dan Cloutier will be out at least 4 months with knee surgery. Backup Alex Auld is not ready to carry the load. Look for the Canucks to give up more than they normally would to get a number one goalie.

Is it time to trade Saks before we lose him in the off season?
Sure he is valuable to us still but at this stage of his career, he probably wants to be on a winning team that has a chance to lift the Cup!
If Habs continue to struggle to be average then we'll lose him anyway!

Bob MacKenzie had some interesting things to say about the Junior selection camp today.
1) Kyle Chipchura is a lock to make this team based on his two way play. He MAY even end up as the captain based on his leadership.
2) Carey Price needed to outplay Julie Ellis tonight to...

Game review from other board
(Preview)
There are those who watch the Canadiens who felt that Montreal just wasn't getting the bounces lately, and that's the major reason they weren't winning games. I submit that you make your own bounces through effort, and tonight was the first time in a good long while that they've put forth enough effor...

Hey Mario: re:post delay

Is there anything that can be done about the length that it currently requires to resubmit an edited post? You know, the "You have recently posted a comment. Please wait a moment before trying to post again." message
Sometimes it makes you wait 30 seconds

Now c'mon Pat Quinn, you gave it a valient effort and have really held the crown since Pat Burns stepped down. But it is time to let go and hand it over to "The Great One". Because when it co...

Doan recieves gross misconduct
(Preview)
On the scoresheet it has Shane Doan marked down for a Gross Misconduct at the end of the game vs. the habs. I guess he said something to the officials that warranted one. Can't wait to ask St-Laurent about it, lol.

And-o suggests that CJ open this up tonight, since he has apparently tried virtually everything else!!!
Isn't this just so un-neccessary?!?!?!? What happened to such a promising season?!?!?!?
