Would love to see Aebischer put one in the win column. GO HABS!!

fHABulous · Veteran Member

wow not a lot of people commented on the game...well lets hope that abby is going to be abler to get a deuce with the sens would be great for the team and for his confidence
go habs go !!!!!!

Jedah · Guru

I'm fully confident that Aebischer can dispose of the undermanned Senators. And if Gainey feels he can win, then I trust him.

However, while at the game on Saturday, I couldn't help but notice that during the warmup, Aebischer sure seemed to miss a lot of shots. Huet made many more saves, and so it does make me a little nervous, but I've gotta trust him.

Go Huet we need the 2 points, I dont think Abby can deliver them I hope im wrong

Nil d · Guru

Trouble. Don Koh-arse-ki is reffing.

He will dictate the flow of this game. You heard it here first.

Not good.

abby may have needed a few games to get used to the habs style of play by the D so maybe hes gettin into that comfort zone somthing we need from him for the playoffs

MC Girl · Guru

Higgin's baby 1-0

im only listenin to the game so i can't SEE whats goin on but does abby look as shakey as it sounds?

JohnM · Guru

Yup, big rebounds and very shaky, then again Emery doesn't look that great either.

The Kahuna · Guru

The first goal didn't look great plus there was a bad rebound before the goal. What was the controversey on the goal? I can't figure out what RDS is saying

Rivet got beat badly by heatley and Koivu had to take him down...1-1

Very true, could be old time firewagon hockey tonght...last goal wins.

The Kahuna · Guru

Nice save by abby, good lateral movement, good read, smothered the rebound. Fingers crossed.

salted_one · Veteran Member

yup thats what it sounds like uncomfortable in the first few mins but is starting to look (sound) better just hope thats first half of the first period is the last we'll see of shakey abby

The Kahuna · Guru

oops, 2-1 ottawa. The D looked shaky, Abby was kind of hung out to dry

heatley could have read a book on the second goal he had so much time to bang it in..no fault on Abby there

The Kahuna · Guru

Yep, that's the way I saw it too.

davidb · Guru

We sort of look uninterested, I would love Kovy to break out big time.

The Kahuna · Guru

Yes, they look very sloppy and undisciplined in their own end.

salted_one · Veteran Member

im not sure we can blame abby this time he sounds like he is doin all he can playing brilliant right now and the habs are giving up in their own zone i wish i could SEE whats goin on so i can confirm what i have been hearing

JohnM · Guru

Looks like the Habs got too much sleep this weekend. They think they can dipsy doodle like Ottawa can do. It's not gonna happen, play smart boys.

The Kahuna · Guru

You are correct, this is one of the worst periods I've seen the habs play this year. Dare I say that Aebischer has kept them in the game!

I want to see if the coaches make some adjustments after 1. Habs are playing a very relaxed 4 man box with one guy up high when the puck is in the habs zone and it is soooooooo not working. Cmon Bob and Carbo..the trap is not all things to all people every game!!!!!

Aebischer scares the Hell out of me. He truly is a reboundatron. He made some great saves in the first period, but they were mainly the result of being out of position. He's always on his knees and flopping all over the place. I don't know what the hell he was thinking on that second Senator goal! The puck went one way, he went the other and gave Heatley the whole net to shoot at.

Sheesh. Emery is playing his 23rd straight game (or is it 25?), yet we baby Huet aong. I say play him every game until golf season.

salted_one · Veteran Member

on the bright side though we may have 2 good goaltenders for the post season just hope the habs can get out of these lazy defensive habits before the playoffs start or preferably before the second period starts

Agreed. The defense looked awful that first period! They must have given the puck away ten times. RIvet looks asleep.

Zednik looked good on a couple of shifts, however. Fingers crossed. Maybe the fire is back......

its that bad eh? well like i said i can only hear the game so yous are my eyes for tonight so keep up the posts

i can only figure out so much by listenin to the announcers we all know that sometimes they watch a different game than we do lol

We are the experts, of course!

By the way, that penalty call on Koivu was awful. He was covering up for a defensive lapse by his buddy Rivet, and was in great position on his assignment. He was called for holding - brutal. Typical Koh-arse-ki...........

The Kahuna · Guru

I didn't get the holding call, but he did take one hand off the stick and throw the guy to the ice. I'm ok with it being a penalty, but there was no holding at all.
