boy is our defence slow... they absolutely need to play the young guys , Tinordi-Beaulieu-Diets-Pateryn-Nygren...pretty sure they can replace Gilbert-Weaver-Allen

3 stinkers in a row and it's panic time

Pfff, panic time started after the first loss of the season.

I am.

Please explain it to me.

if an infraction is committed on a player, then that player has drawn the penalty. he hasn't drawn it in the sense that he embellished. he's drawn it in the sense that the infraction was committed against him .

People seem to forget this team is average and they will have a few lows during the season. They usually put up an effort as long as the following don't happen:

-They are tired
-The other teams sucks, Habs lack motivation
-Price is average
-The other team is motivated

I believe Pete doesn't understand how an innocent person standing there getting viciously elbowed in the head drew it, considering many penalties are drawn because the individual usually is doing something that put the penalized in a position to break the rules.

But I do agree with you Adam.

Shouldn't drawing a penalty be seen as the result of hard/smart work? ...as in forcing the opponent to take a penalty to avoid an undesired outcome...not the result of a boneheaded play where a guy just takes a stupid penalty.

Ok, because his head was there,...just at the right moment.

I get it now.

they will beat Colorado but after that....

I'll read the blog shortly. I'm just about finished an epic beating of my wife, children and dog after watching the Habs lose twice to the poopty Sabres.

It is a hockey term thats meaning has broadened over time. Usually happens when it is not corrected early on.

Why the dog?

Look at the interpretation of the slashing rule, used to be when you chopped at the player, now when you go for an old fashioned stick check and the player's hollow stick breaks it is called slashing.

beating Col will be tough. last time they played Sat and flew West for a Monday game, they got drilled by the Oilers. i don't expect much tonight. Minnesota and Dallas are winnable games. Chicago is a writeoff.
