Guest lisa_11 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Best defence is a good offence...If were constantly on the attack pushing for more, then the pucks not in our end is it? Isn't that a good thing? Keeping the puck in their zone? Wait, are you agreeing with what I'm saying or contradicting it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kovalev47 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 We should just be last years Buffalo, Play offensively and run and gun it Agreed. But all our coaches and Bob were all defensive players so that won't happen. I'm guessing that's why we draft so many defensemen too. However, I don't think it's possible to win a cup with a defensive system in this new league. Anaheim was a great offensive team with great team defence. I don't think they played a defensive system though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paul_b Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 The boys might have taken Nashville lightly. There will be none of that on Tuesday as everyone knows the best team in hockey is in town. Habs will be fired up and desperate and play inspired against the Red Wings. A win or draw will re-establish some much-needed confidence. AGREED!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kovalev47 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 This is what I've been saying all along and it's obvious that's it's Carbo's fault for trying to play defensively with offensively oriented players. Worst part about it, these offensively minded players that we have are fast as hell. Can you imagine if we had a coach like Ruff or Hitchcock and we played offensively with the goalies we have we'd be sitting pretty at number 1 in the east. Agreed, but I think the defensive system is dictated by management , not just Carbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest habfreak Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 i don't think you heard Carbo's comments after da game... that was the first line...and streit played well riberio never fit here because everyone hated him...how do i know...when you fight with your captain you deserve to be sent somewhere else ...n the whole 3 amigoes thing... PRICE should be number one because Huet can't stop a peewee player during shootouts haha...shoot outs! riiiight! thats why we suck so bad...cuz we cant win in shoot outs! nice invention!

Guest keithman Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 For WinnipegJet and Graeme (moderators) ... I understand your need to keep things civil here, and I agree. But I also think that after this complete debacle tonight and other recent history for this team, you're going to be seeing a lot more frustration until something changes with the Habs. The owner, management, and players on this team need to know, and have an obligation I think to see all of it. I've been a fan since 1968, so I've seen lots of highs, and yes, some pretty dark lows as well. Today, I drove back from Niagara early to beat the winter storm moving in. One of the first things I did after getting home was turn on RDS. It was the 3rd period, and the game had been on literally for 5 seconds when I got to see Huet mishandle the puck and of course, the goal against. I turned to my wife, a diehard Leafs fan (grrr), and said "watch this - it will not be pretty". Half an hour later, my prediction had come true, the team had blown it, again. Shortly after it was done, I went around the house, collecting every scrap of CH material I could find - books, flags, banks, videos, pillows, jerseys - you name it. They're all tucked away now, in a giant plastic storage tub. This team has no plan, no heart, no pride. And frankly, I've had it. Sad, so very sad, what this once great organization has become. The product on the ice is what it is, you can't sugar-coat it. I'm afraid to say anything to bash a player cause i'll probably get banned. I agree though, this team needs to be spanked into shape. Severely. Cause it's just disgusting out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WindsorHab#10 Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Ok ladies & gentlemen I'm much calmer now. The sooner we put this ugly loss behind us the better. What do you all think is the reason for our recent slump? I had a tough time accepting the benching of Begin and Kostopolous tonight and keeping Smolinski. Anxious to hear what you guys think. The sun will come out tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hoyle00cdn Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 cuz Nashville don't take their captain and play him on the third line with a defenseman. cuz Nashville doesn't trade away players like ribeiro because they don't fit into our imaginary system! because Nashville don't treat their #1 gialies like we do....need I go on? No Nashville just trades Kimmo Timonen and Scott Hartnell for a 1st round draft pick that they traded TOO Phillie for Forsberg 2 months earlier. So Please! Don't praise Nashville's management. And Ribeiro is a cancer....Shows up half the season and disappears upon crunch time. The only reason he's having remote success in Dallas this year is probably because Dallas doesn't have a lavish club scene. So please, ease up on the whining a bit.

Guest stevesaku Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Guy Carbonneau told his players this was the low point of their season. Cristobal Huet, bombarded with 44 shots in regulation and OT, then beaten twice in the shootout, said the Canadiens were "fragile between the ears right now." In a somber dressing room where the only sound was tape being pulled off and flung away, Christopher Higgins described the loss as "embarrassing." "We can talk all we want," Higgins said. "We've got to get the job done on the ice. "We have to play with passion and with pride. How are we going to enjoy a day off (on Sunday) after blowing a 3-0 lead in our own building?"
