Y-ASK-Y Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Not avoiding the Habs... just the forum. Was afraid of a cyber riot here because the Habs squeaked out a win against the lowly-injured Blues and didn't blow them out. After awhile it gets pretty depressing here... getting killed by the laffs and booins is bad enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamara84 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Just taught that I would tell you people that I met the habs 2 weeks ago at the blood drive, so when I get the pics I'll put them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 You should spray paint them blue and white, and make a you tube video of a ceremonial "burning of the leafs" Damn fire laws around here ban outside burning ( probably offensive to Leaf Nation down here ).

GIJAYNE Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 LETS NOT FORGET DEFENCE All the hype about a talented team, offensive super-powers, finishing with the highest number of goals for last year, and definitely due (at least on paper) to break that record this year, it appears that the team has forgotten the second half of the ice. All the attention is getting the puck up ice to create offensive chances, when what seem to be killing us are goals against. We had a pretty good, simple, and effective system last year and I don’t see why the coaching staff has not reinforced this same play. Perhaps they were liooing to try something new, which might offer a better transition game and more scoring chances. But the fact of the matter is, it’s not working, the transition is not working, players are getting frustrated and evidently NOTHING is working. We’re all familiar with the adage of KISS: “Keep It Simple Stupid” This works for me in my daily ventures and adventures both at work and at home, it worked for the HABS last year in their defensive play, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work this year. As soon as one touches the puck in the defensive zone, just get it out into the neutral zone and let our speedy forwards fight for it. Best case they get it and create a scoring chance. Likely case the opposing blue liners will get it and dump it in, creating a delayed offside and allowing our “D” to make a better and easier play. Worse case they get the puck and come charging back in and we’re back where we started. Maybe I’m over simplifying (who am I kidding, I am), but it seems that at a time when nothing is working and everyone is nervous, it’s the simple plays that are the way to go and get everyone back on track. Even Zorro the Beagle is with me on this one, and we usually disagree on everything unless we’re deciding on re-fried beans as the key ingredient to turn a boring taco night to an flatulently entertaining burrito night.

mikejones1 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 MN Bonus available for 2008.11.18: There is a chance for bonuses tonight after dismal performance yesterday. ...1 or 2 bonuses - if Carolina loses to Montreal (2 bonuses if the habs win inregulation) MN pace - 2.4 points per habs game MN on Oct. 31 was - 141 (drop by 24 in 9 games, pace 2.67) Current MN - 127 (drop by 14 in 7 games in November, pace 2.00) Note, the pace of 2 MN points per habs game is the border line between playoffs and golf pastures. If the pace is higher then 2, the habs are heading to the playoffs. If it is less than 2, we are out. If it is exactly 2, it is a tie break situation.

GIJAYNE Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 LET THE IMPLOSION BEGIN I think last night’s game will really get the demolition ball rolling, beyond anything a potential win tomorrow night can fix. I haven’t had the guts to venture around the forum, but by some of the comments on TSN.ca, I can tell the usual parade of brain dead comments have begun. The team last night was spectacular. Spectacularly poor. But this is still a team which is one attitude change away from a power house. It will come, I know that much. What it will take to make it happen, well I can speculate, as can the rest of us, but no one can really be sure. We have to have faith and trust in the staff to get the team through the rough patch. There are enough hockey minds within the organisation who will know better than any one of us wana be GM in here can claim to know. Furthermore, for once we have staff in place who has proven on several occasions that they are not worried, nor will they act different because of, the media and fan frenzy and all the politics that go along with it. They will do what is best for the team, and they will do it better than anyone in here, writing for Le Journal or expressing themselves as having the cure all bogus remedy this team needs. We can trust Bob, Carb and the gang to be more objective than any one of us would like to believe and will base their judgement on professionalism, and decades of Stanley Cup winning, but kicking, hockey playing experience. So to all you certifiable arm chari GMs ready to blow the team and coaching staff up, grow up, get a life, grow a brain cell or two and shut the flanelle up.

(I like being an armcahir GM... and so do you with your opinion... no? ). Why last night's game? It was no different than any number of games the Habs lost last season... really And we all know how last season turned out (not too shabby eh). The NL is what we should concentrate on... and the pace as pointed out by Choc. is still on the positive side... so take a happy pill, cocoon and don't waste your time with the vent. # of points after 17 games 08/09 – 22 07/08 – 23 06/07 – 23 Record after 17 games 08/09 – 10-5-2 07/08 – 10-4-3 06/07 – 10-4-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that we can all speculate...and we will, otherwise what the heck are we doing here But to go and call the organization and the players useless hacks who don't know what they're doing, don't care how the team does, and doesn't have the best interest of the team and it's success in mind is not only far fetched, but ludicrous and down right dumb. So my beef is not with you and I who like to think, analyze and make presumptions, assumptions and ask questions. It's with the know it all who believe they have the answer to everything, and discredit everything and everyone about the team. And your post is a prime example how we are not, and I quote: "arm chair GMs ready to blow the team and coaching staff up" The stats do show we're on a positive pace Maybe that should clarify it a bit PS Chicken wings?

Y-ASK-Y Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Mmmmmm..... chicken wings....... gllrrrghhluuurrrghgh..... Would be nice to join you, HLD, and fellow Montreal MN'ers for a drink and chicken wings. They say, "Misery loves company" but in the case with MN'ers, "blind optimists and constructive arm-chair GM's loves company". Hopefully, one day/night soon I can hang out with you all. Here in Moncton, the day started off with wet snow and now it's just plain snow. Bleagh. Pretty much describes my mood.... obviously it would be downright miraculous for the Habs to have a perfect 82-0 season... and losing a game here and there is expected but it's a kick in the jahonies whenever the Habs lose to teams that I can't stand such as Carolina, Toronto, Boston, Philly, and Anaheim... yeah, I don't much like those teams at all. Losses to those teams are just downright painful. Habs should be able to take 2 points against Ottawa and so I want to save, "Do it for the 'Teus" for Saturday's game. I actually truly believe that the Habs will fire on all cylinders against the booins and there will be atleast 6 different players on the scoresheet in getting back to the winning ways..... if not, I will spend the weekend with a bag of ice nursing my bruised and battered jahonies.
