I was awful and I let the guys down. There’s no one more embarrassed than me.” - Scott Gomez - Yahoo Sports May 22, 2011 From the 2010-2011 thread: “Hey, I’m not going to kid myself. I’d love to be 6-4 and the starting pitcher for the Yankees, but it didn’t work out that way. We knew with the group we had, it didn’t matter how big you were.

jeff33 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 said all the right things at the end of last year. hes been completely written off but just remember....his first year he started off slow and then was ppg for the rest of the year, and he was great in the playoffs last year was horrible but i havent forgotten that he can be a key player. having patches from the start sure wont hurt. im predicting a big improvement but thats not much of a prediction is it? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first year was better than 2010-11, but it was still a disappointment, make no mistake. You pay $7 million for a center, you expect him not to disappear into a giant vortex of non-productivity for a third of the regular season. At this point, my expectations are so low that 50 points will be a welcome surprise. Fifty lousy points from a $7 million cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalhab Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Ya, he's got the speed still, thats pretty clear. What he's lacking (from a viewers perspective) is remembering the fundamentals of hockey that lead to goals. (edit) Gomer, your not gonna get around Zdeno Chara , Andrew Ferrence or Johnny Boychuck everytime you carry the puck from behind Cary all the way across to the bruins zone on one of your failed deke attempts. When there isn't gaping opportunity to take it on the opposing goaltender....please, please, please, just dump the puck in and chase. It will be better to watch then horrid turnover after turnover.

ColRouleBleu Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Gomez is taking his summer training seriously. He wants to make sure that he does correctly the exercises prepared for him by Pierre Allard, the Habs conditioning coach. He invited him over to his home in Alaska to supervise and insisted to pay the traveling expenses. http://www.ckac.com/hockey/nouvelles/gomez-prend-son-entrainement-au-serieux-85261.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The work ethic is there,work hard & hope were all be rewarded with Gomez's game this season...really hoping he'll show us all some improvement out there . Have not totally given up on you Scotty....don't prove me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habs_93 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 It's good to see the dedication. It'd be even nicer, of course, to see better results from it in 90ish days. It'd be so great to watch him have a wonderful season. Not just for the team's success, but for his personal achievement as well. Argh, it's still July.

weepingminotaur Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 All well and good, but I remember Latendresse talking about getting in better shape in at least two off-seasons, too. Talk is cheap, and while training is nice, it won't amount to a hill of beans if Gomez continues to shy away from the net and plays a perimeter game.

I agree 100%, and won't get my hopes/expectations up until the season starts. However, I also believe in second chances. So while I won't forget about the last couple of years, Scott gets a clean slate from me in terms of evaluating him next season, and I'm really pulling for him to succeed.

Absolutely we have to give him a clean slate, but this is his make-or-break year as a Montreal Canadien. He's run out of excuses. If he can't get it together this year and bounce back with at least 55 points and a solid two-way effort through 82 games, he'll be done as a Hab, and maybe even as an NHL pro if Gauthier is forced to bury him in the minors for the remaining two years of his awful contract.

BigTed3 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I don't really know when this move has ever come in handy in a hockey game. Hopefully he's training at other things too. As for his off-season workouts, yes it's nice to see he at least recognizes he needs to put in some more effort. Weep's comparison to Latendresse is valid, because like Gomez, there seems to be a disconnect between what he said in interviews and the effort he gave on the ice every night. In Gomez's case, it's partly about giving a consistent effort but it's also about being in the right head space to compete. Gomez needs to be willing to get his nose a little dirtier, take the puck into traffic, and go harder to the net for rebounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Bobby Orr's famous goal? That, plus the fact he needs to be able to jump that high just to get above Chara's knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTed3 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Bobby Orr's famous goal? LOL. True, but that would imply Gomez actually plans on taking the puck to the net in the first place. If the spread-eagle dive is something he's practicing because he plans on taking the puck hard to the net, then by all means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
