That was enough to pot a couple. Game over because the Habs are a perimeter team. Sure a low percentage shot could bounce in but pushing for it leaves you open so there is a fairly good chance the two goal gap remains constant or increases.<br /><br />Yep. They tried. In a few weeks Lemaire turned the Devils around, got them back on page, and they made the Habs look like ...well like what Philly makes them look like.<br /><br />Enough pleasantries. If a team wants it more than the current Montreal Canadiens there is a really good chance it is their's.<br /><br />I find the team boring. No quit. I admire that. But they are boring, staid, lacklustre. Do I ever really expect that AK is going to light it up? That Gomez is going to play inspired? That Pouliot will get motivated? No. I watch and hope Price or Auld is playing above and beyond.<br /><br />No one wins Cups that way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-21826902613677628012011-02-07T08:55:51.188-11:002011-02-07T08:55:51.188-11:00I am old enough to remember the Habs of '60-61...I am old enough to remember the Habs of '60-61 being manhandled by the Hawks to end their hopes of a 6th Cup and the following years of leaf physical domination of the Habs. In 1963-64 John Ferguson arrived on the scene giving the Canadiens the physicality (he could score too) that the speedy talented Habs needed leading to 4 Cups in the next 5 years. It is with this in mind that I would love to see the Habs acquire Konopka from the Isles and Neil from the Sens. Can you picture Konopka at center with Neil and Moen on the wings? Moen is a fish out of water playing with soft line mates. Stick those three together and see what Carcillo and Powe do then. Thornton, Paille and Campbell won't look so tough anymore and the Habs may well give the Flyers a run instead of rolling over in 4 or 5 games. <br /><br />Would love to get Fisher but he may be too expensive (assets not money) but I think PG could get Zenon and Chris for not so much. I'm drooling at the thought of a real physical energy line to protect our small players.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-29205794996588168682011-02-07T07:55:27.598-11:002011-02-07T07:55:27.598-11:00Gauthier is building the team as he goes.

With Hamrlik's contract being up at the end of the season we will have offseason cap space. Cammaleri coming back will mean a forward has to sit.<br /><br />mbplekfan<br />@mattmaniacAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-87471062641920306712011-02-07T05:25:05.563-11:002011-02-07T05:25:05.563-11:00Why would we even consider Penner?

I live near their city, do you not think that I know this? They are cutting down Penner left and right!. Go after Mike Fisher! Leave the Oilers out of this, they just want to unload this guy for our draft picks and our prospects! Enough Already! Please, do not trade for an Oiler. They want to burden us with paying their mistakes while the spin-off for them are youngsters. Cheap and playing full tilt to earn jobs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
