good news for us Bolts fans, Smitty is pretty much a sure bet to be the starter tomorrow and Krajicek is a possibility.

Poor Ryan O'byrne , I can't believe how awful he's been playing . They should send him to the AHL and use Mathieu Dandeneault as a defenseman again , he would do a much better job .

Man, that sucks for him. He's just lucky it wasn't an important game. Knowing those Montreal fans, he's going to be on their bad side for awhile...

Things like that happen, I suppose, and the Canadiens still got a point, after all.

Sadly, he will have to clear the waivers to be sent in the AHL. Habs won't take the chance to loose another giant defensemen (Beauchemin was lost that way few years ago).

I was sure he had a 2 way contract ....

I remember Paul Coffey shooting the puck into the Wings net during an important playoff game. The bad part. He was playing D for the Wings at the time.

Good game tonight Wings/Habs.

after 2 it's 2-1 Rangers. Lightning look good though. Koci whupped Orr's ass and Stammer dropped his gloves with Zherdev

does anyone think the caps have a Chance?

does anyone think the caps have a chance?

they will definately make the playoffs. they will more than likely win the SouthEast Division as well. if they stay healthy and keep playing like they had been prior to that road trip they could be serious contenders.

i think the Cup Final will be Sharks Vs. Rangers though

I'll never forget Steve Smith of the Oilers trying to pass the puck down the ice and banking it in his own net off of Grant Fuhr's pad during the playoffs against the Flames in '89. One of the worst moments in hockey history (to me, anyway). Gave Calgary it's one and only Stanley Cup on a silver platter. Still, five for the Oilers to just the one for the Flames.

Montréal 3 vs Detroit 1

Wow. One of the best performance of the Habs this season. Detroit offensive big cannons took somewhat a day off - Babcock was totally pissed near the end of the game, benching some stars.

Lapierre (3rd), Higgins (5th) and Plekanec (5th) scored for the Habs.

Tanguay got crushed by Brad Stuart in the first period and didnt came back to play. Let's hope the injury isnt severe. Clear and violent check from Stuart.

I was expecting a beating tonight and... we got a big win on Wings' ice.

Final note: Ryan O'Byrne who scored in our own net last game played nearly 20 minutes and offered one of his best performance this year. Glad to see him bouncing back.

Yeah Babcock was pissed. You don't play hard. You don't play. Its very simple. Datsyuk and a few others were almost invisible the entire game.

That was a good hit by Stuart. He and Kronwall hand out some monsters every couple games which is good since everyone thinks Detroit is soft. Did Tanguay forget it was a hockey game? He was obvisouly suprised by the hit and Stuart came from right in front of him.

O'Byrne did play a good game except for when Franzen spun him around like a corkscrew. Which was pretty funny.

Overall the Wings were outplayed by a more hungry Canadiens team.

Orr broke Koci's fist with his face. Koci out for 2-4 weeks.
Imagine of Orr was able to reach Koci and hit him...
