Lucic handed Komisarek that defeat beautifully. that was the best scrap of the year.
on my side of things, the refs have gotten call happy against the Lightning now and 3 men are in the box at the start of period 3. i still say fire Barry Melrose.

well, our Captain is Lecavalier, so if he came to me with a complaint i would sure as hell listen. he (as well as every other player) is not happy.
Montreal 1 - Boston 6 (final score)
Habs only goal: Koivu (assist for Tangay)
I just heard that Komisarek is injured. Nothing revelead as usual. But does it surprises someone after his furious fight against Lucic?
The players have to learn that Laraque will not take care of everything. Even with him in the lineup, we need Team Toughness ...
I can't beleive Steve Bégin was left out (healthy scratch) for a 9th game in a row... Like if Dandenault was able to help more than him against Boston. Especially when Kostopoulos is suspended...

Its not funny: We are both depressed at our teams (for different reasons but depressed regardless)
I mean, loosing 6-3 against Toronto and now 6-1 against Boston within the same week is just...ukey:
:anonymous = Habs fans
this is ridiculous. we have a team packed with extraordinary talent but we're struggling to get back to a winning record. i hope this isn't a problem the owners think is going to go away on its own. they've traded and changed as many players as possible, now it's time to change things behind the bench.

Now, now. You don't have to put the bag on your head yet. It's not like a losing season yet. I remember several years ago, that some fans did that during a long losing stretch.
242 minutes 36 seconds.
I was at that game. The Wings had a couple shit calls go against them but they stopped skating hard in the 3rd and the Pens made them pay. Trust me I wasn't happy, but it was an entertaining game for the most part.
On a side note I've never seen a player complain as much as Sidney Crosby. In commercial breaks he was chasing down officials all night long. Beyond that he was yelling at them from the bench. I've been to over 50 games and have never seen anything like it.

Low and behold the ugly face of the WUSSIFIED NHL rears its ugly head in Detroit on Nov. 11, 2008!! I am not much for complaining or commenting on regular season games but for the love of NHL DIEHARDS, the referee's are certainly doing the best job they possibly can in keeping the REDWINGS opposition on frequent and lengthy 5 on 3's with those cheap chincy variety calls!
Both the penalties on franzen, and fillpula in the 3rd too give the penguins the 5 on 3 were absolutely ridiculously disgusting not too mention the penalty on rafalski with under a minute too play in regulation :lame:
I am no sore loser, nor do I care that the REDWINGS lost a meaningless REGULAR season game in overtime to still get 1 point, but the REFS sure are aiding all of the REDWINGS OPPONENTS SO FAR THIS YEAR!!!
The only team that I can truly say beat the REDWINGS soundly without referee interference was the SHARKS!!
Anahiem, Vancuver, and the penguins all needed the referee's help, BTW of some convienent and cheapshiesty variety penalties too keep the games competitive!! those shiesty penalties won't be called in the playoffs! :dunno:
Another game of phantom calls on both teams. I hate soft calls that go to either team.
No kidding on Melrose. Is there something against putting Artyukhin in front of the net on the second unit PP? The kid looked like he was skating his rear off early in the game. I know he's no scorer but he can screen the goalie and be next to impossible to move. Hell its not like anything else is working. Also the Tampa D looks horrid. They turned the puck over so many times my boys should have racked up 8 goals but Kolzig played well.

Hello Sexy girl how your Toes doing?
I see your point but those calls should have never been made!! only reason they were called is because (the present day prima donna of the NHL) was WHINING and CRYING the whole damn game!! he is the biggest wuss!! he has talent but I have no respect for him!!
I think OVECHKIN is the better player of the two of them? OVECHKIN vs. crysby head to head OVECHKIN is by far the better and total package!! wicked talent, no doubt about heart, he has toughness, he even drops the gloves when he has too!! :thumbsup: something we will never see CRYSBY doing!!

Do you remember how Carbonneau became coach in Montreal.
Gainey fired the coach and stepped behind the bench, using Carbonneau as an associated coach 'till the end of the season.
At the beginning of next season, Carbonneau was at helm for good.
Like Carbonneau, Andreychuk have limited coaching experience - do you think it could be possible to do something like worked very well for Carbonneau for Andreychuk at TB?

i actually didn't know that story. that does sound like a plausible scenario for Dave. we do still have him around as sort of an ambassidor to the team, so he's familiar with the owners and the team i'm sure.Not a bad idea Mauser98k
