Theo And Kovy,

Don't get me wrong both are very talented players but there is no way there worth the money. Kovalev is making 4.5 mill to do squat, he was good when he assited the koivu goal but otherwise just dismal. on the powerplay he elected to take a slap shot from a terrible angle, and he missed the net, and it cleared the zone! Theo, man is he off if he thinks he can play like this for the year than i would have no problem shipping him off. He for sure should have stopped Alfie's shorthanded goal it wasn't anything special. The first goal i'll give him the benifet of the doubt because he was screened. What happend to him having great rebound control? it sure didn't look like it tonight. Even when he gave a juicy rebound he's supposed to have the best lateral movement in the game. where was that? Danis could have done a better job and i think thats what we will see tommorow.

Higgins and Ryder both played well, Ryder showed some great speed but they couldn't get the puck often enough because Ribeiro didn't get it to them. Ribs did not play well and he needs to if we want to compete. It's to bad we don't have anyone to replace him, sure as hell not Plekanec who isn't that good. Ill be surprised if Plekanec finishes the year in Montreal. I may be a little bias on this because i never liked him from what i saw in Hamilton. He's very Oleg Petrov like, but less speed and a little more stregth. Pleks always misses the net.

Ratis had a perfect game for him, he was able to take Chara and make him sit off 7 minutes. Ratis would have beat him up if Chara had not fallen. Then Chara throw in a cheap shot while Ivanas was on the ground, and it injured him. Who we gonna call up?
