Hockey Talk: Montreal v NY Islanders
who saw the game? not me. it's actually kind of disappointing when i think about it because i thought i would catch every single game this season. i've probably only caught 30-40 of them.
last i saw i was checking out nhl.com and saw that montreal was up 2-1 in the 3rd. but nay, they don't tend to keep leads of a single goal (or two goals for that matter) when playing in the third.
so what happened?
halak in net, i haven't read any papers yet but i would imagine now one is calling for his head the way they do price...
CBC hockey night in Canada on price v. halak
watching the toronto v montreal game and they were just talking about the number one goalie for the canadiens. i didn't catch it all of it but they basically said that price was on the ice before the game, got the call telling him he wasn't playing tonight and was pretty upset about it. for price to show emotion like that means something is up.
CBC is convinced that because he's not in means halak has pretty much captured the number 1 spot.
i'll admit that the habs play better with halak in net but i still think price is the better goalie...
habs are finally picking up their play but so far a pretty slow game.
Hockey Talk: Habs Vs. Rangers
Tags: hockey talk, NHL, Montreal, Canadiens, Habs, New York, Rangers, win, metropolit, gomez, halak, avery, stupid stupid avery
what a slow boring game. muller and metropolit said it best during their interviews on RDS, they were playing a relaxed game. montreal was absolutely fierce when it came to the rangers' zone though. was fantastic to see them fight for the puck and win most of the time. get a shot or two and go after the puck again. then clamp down on the rangers as they went the other way down the ice.
halak was lucky, as is typical. didn't face anything really threatening from my point of view.
i loved the reaction between metropolit and markov when they scored the first goal though.
gomez wins the face off back to markov.
markov shoots the puck at the net
metropolit deflects it (intentionally?) and it goes in. beautiful
metropolit turns to markov with a huge smile on his face, hands in the air in celebration and then points to markov who points back at him.
just funny.
oh, i HATE Sean Avery. 7 seconds left he slashes gomez behind the play. WTF?! gomez never even had the puck to begin with. ref's are getting smarter though. through him out the game.
meanwhile the crowd in NY is cheering 'AVERY! AVERY!'
are they retarded? and to make things worse, RDS before the game interviewed Gomez and asked specifically about avery. he said he's a tricky player, someone almost to be admired for the emotion he plays with when the going gets tough.
i'm on Don Cherry's side, through him out the NHL.
The Game is Afoot!
Big win last Saturday against the bruins.
1st period, awesome sauce. everyone played like they wanted it, like the could taste it.
2nd period, less sauce still awesome.
3rd period, picked up the socks and kept at it.
3 complaints,
jaro is one lucky fucker. some of his big saves we're so much big saves as they were he happened to be there by chance type of moments. some can argue that that's part of being a goalie, knowing where to be and when to be there. but RDS was going on about a 'big save' he made where he got a good piece of the puck. we wasn't in position, his shirt sleeve did the blocking for him, not pads, not arm, shirt sleeve.
2. sergei is good, and scores nice goals, but this game he was lucky. once again being in the right place at the right time. same argument from above can be used here though there's no real defence against it this time.
3. bruins? what bruins? where were they most of the night? has savard injury really crippled them so?
Hockey Talk: Montreal v Tampa Bay

Montreal played Tampa last night here in Montreal. generally speaking Tampa was not there most of the game.
i still would of like to have seen price in net but the team just seems to want to play when halak is in. it's like he's a hero on the team and his very presence on the ice gives the players a +2 to their want to play.
Gomez with 3 points (i think RDS said he has 7 points in his last 3 games, must be more than that by now)
Metropolit with a goal and assist
Darche with 2 goals.
Bob Gainey expected to announce his stepping down today at 4pm
Don't know how true it is but a lot of the habs fans are celebrating.
habs inside/out is reporting
The Canadiens have called a 4 p.m. press conference at the Bell Centre.
Team president Pierre Boivin will make "an important announcement regarding the Club's management".
TSN's all-knowing Bob McKenzie says Bob Gainey is stepping down and Pierre Gauthier is taking over as interim general manager.
Gauthier, who will be 57 in May, joined the Canadiens as director of pro scouting in 2003. He added the title of assistant general manager three years later.
A native of Montreal, Gauthier has served as GM of the Ottawa Senators and Anaheim Mighty Ducks.
Gauthier is a vegetarian who is known as the wrong man to ask about nutrition unless you have an hour to spare.
We'll be at the press conference with news, comment and audio.
i see bad things coming. price traded being the top of the list, that or just let go. halak around for another 2 maybe 3 years and not doing as well as this year.
turcot for price? will be interesting to say the least. i'm sure schu will have something to say.
bob, i'm sad to see you go.
