Boy o Boy. This has to be sweetest win of the season. How wonderful it would be when the habbies don't make the playoffs because of 1 or 2 points.
.500 again. The third consecutive comeback victory. This definitely beats the fact that the leaves lost today. And yes, it is a 3 game streak!!! I am beginning to lose count of the streaks now. Also, it is easier to beathe when your team has no longer scored the fewest number of goals in the nhl. These teams that we have defeated were looking for a playoff spot and not teams who want to lose and get a draft pick.
I think Spezza's play has improved since he got more time with the Heatley and Alfredsson. This marriage was made in heaven so I don't know why so many coaches have tried to tinker with it. We just need better players to get secondary scoring not destroy the already existing chemistry.
Looks like Kuba will get career high points after all good choice by him in sticking with the senators and vice-versa. Now we only need to start playing better on road.Wow, If we had only played like for the majority of the season we would have been somewhere at the top of the standings. A 5-4 comeback victory against the Canadiens who are barely holding on to their playoffs spot.
Montreal fans are getting squeamish over their teams stanley cup hopes. Patience is the word for the Canadiens. There are calls that they can't win the cup with europeans in their roster. And i thought that myth had alreday been dispelled by the Red Wings last year. All you need to disprove the theory of europeans can't win is one and only 1 proof. Its called proof by contradiction looks like those who are saying these same things again don't know much about that.
There are also calls for Price to be benched for the remainder of the season. Once again, he is the only guy on that team who has won consistently at every level he had ever played- which is the mark of a true champion. The person he reminds me most of is Scott Neidermayer.
I feel bad for Gainey he is a good man. Make him the GM of Ottawa next year. What Montreal needs is JFJ.
Or better still merge the Canadiens and Leaves and make JFJ their manager, problem solved!
The habbies wailing and screaming when their priced possession doesn't deliver for a short period. And you wonder why you havn't won the cup in such a long time? Price is a gem, I will trade him for Leclaire anyday. Ofcourse, Halak is playing better than him so let Halak play,
They are saying that Gainey is playing Price because he was drafted by him and he so he is his baby. C'mon its because Price has always delivered under pressure too bad its not working right now and you selfish fools will jump on gainey like a bunch of blood thirsty pirranas. The stupid media sells you these story's in the newspapers so that they can sell the bloody newspapers and they buy both the newspaper and the idea.
The Montreal Canadiens and the Leafs had the chance of being the Manchester United and Real Madrid of Hockey but they have blown it big time because they don't have any patience.
THIS IS WHY I DON'T LIKE MONTREAL CANADIENS AND TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS.
Once again, Send price, koivu and Gainey to Ottawa any day.
The Canadiens won so many cups not because of the magical ability of the french to skate on ice upside down but because they drafted, developed and remained loyal to their players, coaches and managers for years and years.
Also, the western teams are really happy. "West is best" calls are getting pretty loud. They should really not get into that. Not if they want my support during post-season. lol
