AndO If they could the power play going(get Sourray Moving)things could be much improved. I would have kept Hossa because I think he has a bright future. I guess we have to work with what we have. Unless something big comes along this is it. I do feel the young guns are going to get beter. After all we are only one week into the season, Hey we are 4-1.
The PP sucks because you need two solid lines to throw at them. Ribero and his "death blow" realy does just blow. Claude Julien has no choice but to use him on the PP because he is being paid to get points...If he keeps proving me right he won't last long(thank god).
Once zed returns Dags will be no more.
And that Bulis-Bonk-Sunstrom line is brilliant. You need those kinda lines to win games. They do all the little things right. The goals that line gets are bonus. So Bonk is being used the right way. Unfortunatly, he may have to be placed on the second line due to The farse that is "Ribero".
And O- I like you and respect your opinion. But geessssssssssssssh BOYS (and this does not just refer to u and o) WE ARE 4-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I WOULD HATE TO SEE WHAT POSTS WOULD BE HERE IF WE WERE 1-4!!!!!!!! As much of a habs fan as I am, I sometimes look at the messages on this board (and I am guilty as well) and I think "god, will we EVER BE HAPPY?!" Maybe that is what makes the habs so special. We demand perfection. What bothers me is that as soon as we lose 2 or 3 in a row everyone on here will be calling for my friend Claude's head. Guys we have a decent team. Not a powerhouse. REality is, we will be a bit better than 500 at year end because we have a young team. Lets enjoy it.

Man...the Ribeiro bashing makes me sick. He's got incredible puck handling skills and i truly believe that if Dagenais improves or is replaced, Ribeiro will be a force once again.
Ribeiro is young and a little high on himself. He needs a good leader to set him straight. Reminds me of some convertaions on the board near the end of the last season - about leadership. Julien seems like a good technical coach but not much of a blood and guts leader. Koivu's inspiration has worn off and there really is no leader. Anyone rememer those comments?
Who wears the A's for the Habs now? Souray and Rivet? Begin is great but is he a stand up in the dressing room kinda guy? I love this kid.
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't all teams sucking on the PP? I think it is because they are adjusting to the new size of the offensive zones. Scoring will pick up on the PP, I think it's a none issue at this time.
I got nothing to say about Bonk cause the one game I watched I was loaded and I was eating a lot of wings (was my b-day afterall - the first since the new site I might add )
PS - Barry we need to find out if we can score a pound of wings and a pitcher at the new bar in Moncton (i forget what it's called but it's something to do with Jewels...). I heard the add today - $7.50 for student night. We could be students, right? Check it out for me, I'm too lazy..I mean busy. I'm too busy.
And-O.....you've been crying for a large center to shut down the opposition's top center and Gainey got that in Bonk and I might add he is doing his job along with Sunny and Bulis. Now you want him to be our leading scorer too. It is the job of Saks line and Riberio's line to score....anything from the third or forth line is gravy. I might add that Bulis has 2 goals already and Sunstrom has one. That's pretty good production from a third line defensive line. The only thing inexplicapal is your post. I might also add that our penalty killing has been exceptional because of BONK, BEGIN, Higgins, Bulis, and Sunny. Keep er going Habs and it would be interseing to read your post if we were 1-4 and NOT 4-1!!!!
