Hello Sexy girl how your Toes doing?
Poor Gratton
I have spent many many many hours over the past few years watching hockey fights on youtube too - impressive collections there eh?
Indeed!! Most definitely!! I used too buy VHS tapes loaded with fights!! I prolly have about 30 - 50 hrs worth of fighting on VHS tapes!! hindsight I wasted my money cuz I can watch them for free~
only good thing about spending the all that money years ago is I had the VHS tapes for @least 10 years!! So Yeah I love my fighting in the OLD NHL~ (relished memories) :nanner:
Pretty soon all they will be is sweet memories cuz SCARY BETTMAN is destroying the NHL!! :cussing:

It was a beating.
You probably hate the comments that Cherry made about Kostits and what he did to Schenn. If you saw the replay, I think you'd agree that this commie/euro trash should have his leg broken with a hockey stick.
according to Brian Lawton (General Manager), currently Rick Tocchet has an open ended schedule. there is no time limit for him to prove he's the man for the job and they're not looking for a permanent new coach.
Tocchet's first game as head coach looked awesome, and considering he had just one practice day to prepare for it, i can't wait to see what happens in the future. judging by that first game, i think he'll do fine
apparently they're willing to give him a shot at being the head coach for a while. an excellent idea, i think. he doesn't appear to freak out like Tortorella and does appear to know what this team needs unlike Barry Melrose.
we dominated the 3rd period against Carolina. staying active in the 3rd is something we've struggled with for a while. he did it by having very short shifts during the game. no more than about 30-35 seconds per shift. that and he reunited the MVP line. Melrose actually put Lecavalier on line 2 and St. Louis and Prospal on line 3 during his last game as coach!

It won't be an easy task to turn things upside down at Tampa, for sure. A bad start, a bad preparation (training camp) and maybe a bad system of play (Barry Melrose's) cannot be override in a day ... :dunno:
But any coach counting on a franchise player like Lecavalier should looks good.
Tocchet could be a good coach , he started well by giving Vincent Lecavalier more ice time ( 21 minutes + ) and Stamkos as well ( almost 16 minutes ) . The only weird thing he did was to leave Steven Stamkos in a line with Recchi and Roberts . I think they should have a good look at Tocchet as head coach because he could have the same succes as Guy Carboneau since they pretty much have the same background : they both were good players with a great work ethic and a lot of gutts. Also they are both well respected by current NHL players.
Montréal 1 vs Carolina 2
Ok. We are definatly are in a slump... I can't beleive how we sucked all week besides our games against Ottawa.
Oh, Robert Lang (6th) scored for habs.

Mike Smith is awful in shootouts
which is insane given how he was in shootouts before he came to Tampa
5 defeats at our last 7 games. Habs are slumping big time. Our power play which used to be dominant is above average this year. I know that without Mark Streit we couldn't be again as much dominant but - i can't beleive when Koivu, Tanguay, Kovalev, Lang and Markov are on the ice, they can't be better than that
Komisarek missed some games. Hamrlik too. Our depth a defense isnt great - our youngsters arent NHL ready yet.
Team toughness? Nobody know what that means in our team. They are all waiting for big George to do all the dirty job... Oh boy...
Bah... enough ramblings.
We play tomorrow and saturday night - let's hope things will turn around
