Other then the Vancouver game (back to back in different time zones), I have been impressed with the overall effort every game.<br /><br />A little more confidence, both up front and in goal, and we'll be just fine. The good thing is you know with guys like Pleks, Gionta and Cammy, this team will not let up or give up.<br /><br />Don't be too hard on Gomez. He's pretty darn good at taking the puck from our goal line to the other teams' blue line with confidence. Once the team gets in sync and we have the blue-line in part figured out, things will improve.<br /><br />Given that we're 2 and 5, and we don't have a million things to complain about ... well, I take that as a positive sign.HabsInBloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189708062725010945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-80932641029296272012009-10-19T03:12:34.185-11:002009-10-19T03:12:34.185-11:00Interesting point about Beliveau and Richard.

The answer would have been Saku Koivu (who they can trot out in 20 years) but for the cut-off-your-nose-to-spite-your-face mentality of the Habs' GM.A Concerned Citizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711794717328887491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-38537948963243171682009-10-18T07:09:59.738-11:002009-10-18T07:09:59.738-11:00I agree about the no fun part, but I did miss the ...I agree about the no fun part, but I did miss the first period entirely, so I don't know. I think having a captain might be a good idea, but the problem is we need a home-grown talent to be legit as captain - not someone just traded-for or just signed from another organization. Only Markov or possibly Pleks really fits that bill. None of the top players has really got a long history with the organization. Even hold-over players like Hamrlik, Gorges, BGL, AK46, Metropolit, Latendresse and Lapierre have short histories with the organization. The continuity has been so sharply cut that I am having a difficult time even caring anymore.Scott in Montrealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702697033209213403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-78599179704351508282009-10-18T01:54:04.967-11:002009-10-18T01:54:04.967-11:00Best post I've read in ages.

If the players are working hard, which they seem to be doing, and getting shots on net, then there is decent reason to think good things will start to happen sooner than later. Goal-tending is a different issue, of course. I'd like to see Halak given a real shot to carry this team (no pun intended).Darren Biffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17400526498613989489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-73499616905352523262009-10-17T15:00:34.613-11:002009-10-17T15:00:34.613-11:00I don't really trust Price either.

Nice to see someone else isn't under the same spell everyone else seems to be under.<br /><br />I would be great with boring hockey, if the Habs won.<br /><br />Taylor Hall on the Habs would make up for letting Koivu go. Although it is nice to know Koivu will have a chance to win the Cup!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06665514316294491005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-59008664081417838672009-10-17T14:45:02.948-11:002009-10-17T14:45:02.948-11:00How depressing.
