I know i'll hear about it alot but I've seen all the habs game so far this year, and there's something that keeps coming up that annoys me.... Souray. He has a good shot, can give good hits on occasion but man does he loose the puck alot to the other team. Just tonight against Ottawa, he did it 5 times at least, including one just at the end of the game and one in OT.

Some of you were complaining that Niinimaa was not that good a defense, but so far he has done a better job than Souray. And where is Ribeiro... he's been relegated on the 4th line already. Anyway, if Niinimaa keeps playing like this, lets sign him for one more year and trade Souray.

I disagree with you on one point, Niinimaa had a horrible game tonight. He looked like a true 6th/7th defenseman.

Agree with you totally. So many were quick to dump on this guy without giving him a chance.

In my opinion the posters on this board are extremely knowledgable about hockey. But I still think that team management has resources at their disposal that gives them a step on us. having said this, I still value the opinions of gohabs.com posters

Go Habs!

Ummm, last time I checked, you'd have to call Dallas for Ribeiro...

Ribs got a goal and two assists tonight. Not sure what you mean by 4th line...

Ribs is now playing on the 4th line in Dallas. He had a total of 14 minutes ice time. It would appear that he is has been tasked as a PP specialist. He spent 6 minutes on the PP and all 3 of his points came there.
