I'm sorry to say this but I have to defend Ribs again for people stating he is to blame for another loss! How about Ryder staying out longer then his linemates then getting caught tired and shooting the puck over the glass for a late penalty that killed us! I won't be too hard on the hurting Theo but where was he before the slapper went over his shoulder on the Ryder penalty? You guessed it...on his knees too early! How about Zednik? This guy has looked aweful for too long! Does he know how to pass? That little stall and then rush up the boards to get pinned or nailed is boring me! Pass to the open man already! Rivet reminded me of his last season. Always a step behind and too late in this game! CJ, start playing all four lines when the fourth deserve ice time! Finally Ribs shares responsibility in this loss also just like most of his team mates!

Ab Habman I agree with you Ryder played awful, and what was that shooting the puck over the boards, stupid all the way. Must of had a brain fart. Also Zednik, I mentioned this a while back, one move up the boards always right side, won't make a move to his left. I'm very disappointed in his play this year. Pass the puck!

although i agree that you can't blame it all on ribs ya have to admit he didn't look very good that game but neither did the rest of the 2nd line and im starting to think the line just isn't clicking anymore and CJ needs to try some experimenting as soon as he can afford to. Theo did go down too early on goal #4 but you have to admit that was a perfect shot to the top right corner. i really enjoyed watching bulis begin and sundstrom, everytime they were on the ice they played harder than any other line i saw out there, and actually played well TOGETHER. just can't help but feel like im the only one who likes bulis. i can't wait to get koivu and kovy back. do the habs a favour keep murray and uh K and send down zednik and dags. maybe light a fire under their arses and make them realize that playing like crap is a BAD thing. TO THE MINORS WITH YOU!!! but just in case lets see if zeddy just needed the chemistry he had the koivu and kovy. i dont want to see any trades right now just some disipline (horrible spelling i know but i just got off work not long ago) CJ needs to take off his belt so to speak (just like "salted_one" that is not a sexual inuendo)
