it's not that they're not the same, it's that they don't respond to it because it's not their game. we weren't complaining about this when Boston got physical last spring or when game 3 against NY got physical. last night they just happened to lose. other times, they win.

I'd prefer to see a boost on offense, I get the protect Price sentiment but think lack of offense is more of a concern.

Excellent. He's yours, for free.

Retain 3-4 mills of his salary and we'll take him gladly on our 2nd pair.

wish they had teached us that in school.

instead they taught us Microstation... wich is used by pretty much NOBODY except the MRN and some other ministères

Ok, you stay inside.

Jesus, what did you guys do to mother Nature?

She's some pissed at you fellas.
- pete26

I blame Scott.

That's why we badly need some physical players especially on D, not a (frank)ing Petry or a Sekera. Maybe it was a sign yesterday, habs wanted Petry, Petry gets hurt from a shot from McQuaid, so maybe thats the guy we should go after. I dont care that he's a bruin i just want to see some toughness on D dammit.

In American please

If the habs are looking for a d-man to help drive possession, and contribute offensively.......they should look at trying to get Weircioch out of ottawa.

for some reason the coaching staff (both old and new) like to scratch him, and for some odd reason think that cowen is a better player (which is insane). the guy drives possession better than anyone on the sens roster not name karlsson, and produces every time he's in the lineup. also, based on teh fact that ottawa seems to think he isn't that good (based on how often they scratch him), you could probably get him for a relatively low price.

if it was me, i'd want to keep him.......i think he's probably the 4th best d-man on our team, behind karlsson, methot, and ceci..........but i think he'll be moved. would fit in very well in montreal on the 2nd or 3rd pair, and 2nd PP unit.

yeah i actually think it better serves Montreal not to respond. you don't want other teams thinking they can get you off your game like that. though what Gryba tried to do last night was a joke.

We'll Phaneuf at 3-4 ml (after subtracting 3-4 mil) is a great deal and you'd definitely have to add picks and prospects if the Leafs were to retain that much salary

i always thought that was a joke until Monday when i bumped into a couple from California in a grocery store who told me a i speak good American. they said they hadn't run in to many people who speak American here in Montreal.

why are you people like this?

jesus man.......you guys need to get over the gryba thing. the hit in the playoffs was clean, and the hit last night was clean.

maybe eller should learn to skate with his head up.

Quite possibly the most interesting hockey related post I've seen today. Well done.

That's not something a trade will fix, it's a byproduct of Therrien.

even Phaneuf at $5 million is fine. but not for 7 years. that's ridiculous.

The hit wasn't clean according to the NHL...but you are right, Eller should learn to skate with his head up.

I do it because I think it's funny

But yeah there's 400 million people in the u.s. so there is a good chance 3/4 are idiots and you met some

Because fighting isnt really encouraged in the playoffs. Besides Boston is the only physical team that the habs can beat playing the soft speed game, just because. Any other team plays physical and the habs fold. We have Prust but whoopty doo, he's good for only one scrap a game and then what? We need alot more toughness. Kreider is licking his chops seeing our weak pansy team (especially our d corps), he knows he can run Price again if they meet in the playoffs without any consequences. And thats just one example. I mean just a couple of tough players, a forward and a defenseman, would make a huge difference. Stewart up front and McQuaid/Prout on the back end. Get it done MB.
