I think the last Habs game in LA Mathieu Garon made 70 saves.

Woops. It was 46 saves. Habs won 4-2 (Cristobal Huet was in nets for LA). But Here's a youtube of highlights from Ron Tugnutt's 70 save game.

It sure sucks being a Habs fan and living in Calgary. I am forced to watch two of most mind numbingly boring teams in history, the Oilers and the Flames. The Oilers just won in overtime 2 to 1 over the Bluejackets. Now Sportsnet is showing the Flames, they are playing at home against Nashville. This should be an intense game, it is 15 minutes into the first and the Flames have ZERO shots on net. The crowd is so quiet you can hear the players yelling to each other on the ice. I have had the misfortune to watch many games in the Western division and I am not impressed. None of the teams have any pizzaz or offensive creativity. The teams are all built around a great goalie and trying to win 1 to 0 games. When they do score it is invariably off the low cycle game, they do not have the talent to score off the rush like the Habs.
I really think this Western division is over rated. Why does everyone think the Ducks are so great? The Ducks play the same boring style as every other team in this division. I think they are vulnerable to a team with speed and creativity.

Dude, I can't say I feel your pain since you're way out west. But I'm from Mississauga, and all I EVER hear about are the Leafs.
With regards to what you said about Anaheim, they are a tough team. They don't back down from fights or dirty hockey and they have the firepower to score a lot.
If the Habs can get tougher, I definitely think they can beat the Ducks.
This is how it works. We would dominate them, they would get pissed, get physical or fight, then we'd back down, they'd capitalize.
You know who else uses this game plan against the Habs: The Rangers, which is why the 5-0 comeback was such a landmark game because they were able to exercise their "fear" of the Rangers and absolutely dominate them.
I hope Halak owns tomorrow and I really hope they beat Anaheim on Sunday.

The Ducks, like several other western teams, are not as tough as they are dirty. It would be impossible for the refs to call all the infractions. But you know, they would only have to do it once or twice and the dirty stuff would definatey be cut down. Watching the west play is like watching American Gladiators. The refs put their whistles away for some reason and the eastern teams struggle against them out there. I don't think it has as must to do with travel as dirty play.
Watch Sunday to see what I mean. Not sure if LA is as bad.
I hope rthe team plays confidently with Halak in today, should be a good game for the offensive guys.
Go Habs Go

You know, we DO LIVE in the GTA. One would certainly expect that the local media would cover the leafs, almost exclusively. Now, the publically funded national media......
Anaheim IS a boring trap team with a suspect goaltender, that can't seem to win without Neidermeyer or Selanne. I guess they figured that they need to score goals to win also, not just bully the opposite team and keep their own goalie from facing too many shots.

on a completely different topic...
i was just snooping around the NHL stats site and saw that we are actually TIED for the LEAD with Ottawa in Goals Per Game.
http://www.nhl.com/nhlstats/app?fetchKey=20082ALLAAAAll&page=Stats&servi...
so we now lead (or share the lead) in 2 categories: PP, and G/G, and are 3rd in terms of fewest Losses.
yawn. :)

It doesn't matter if the Grabovski story is true or not. Why does french media always blow everything out of proportion?? For once, there was no contrevercies,players are happy as a team, and you go and report unsubstenciated story like this?? They are on the other coast, just let them be and let them deal with the issues themselves. It seems nowhere is far enough, when you want to get away from french media. French players on the other hand can do no wrong in this city...

Before you shoot your mouth off about the French media and french players you should get the facts first,we as fans deserve the right to know what is going on with our team ,no matter if they are French or Irish.

Hey guys and gals,It is nice to see all this hype about Halak playing,but you have to remember who our #1 goldie is and we finally do have a #1goldie, sure hope that if Halak loses that you will be easy on him because he is a rookie,I hope he dosen't let in any easy goals, or look out of place ,or go down to early,because he will know about it from his fans on here,because that is how you treat Price.When he wins please find all the good points he has done and praise him for that.

grabs can kiss my ***. ride the fckin bus all the way back to hamilton and take a flight back to the mother land of where ever the skinny whiny baby is from. He is a rookie for one, not even that good on NHL level, did NOTHING at all for the habs this year or any other year. So what he had a good week in hamilton , that only bought him a ticket to atlanta where is was supposed to be going. After Ryder handles his benching with so much class this little piece of crap never deserves to wear the montreal jersey again. p.s. this rant only counts if the story is true , if not, grabs can still kiss my *** if he wants.

Great I get to see my second favorite goalie tomorrow. He will do just fine. Halak's got the cool calm that runs through the veins of all our goalies. He will do just fine. Last year he only lost when the D let him down, I watched every game. The D doesn't take nights off this year like they did last year. Everyone lets in the odd weak goal. He'll do just fine. If Kalak was in net on the final game last year, we would have made the playoffs. I'm positive of this. He'll do just fine.
Go Habs Go
Submitted by the_vipah on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 19:34.
Yeah that 4 minute penalty that Begin took right at the end of the second probably had nothing to do with the loss, or the fact that Montreal mustered ZERO in the third period of that game. Leafs wanted that game more then us, period.
Submitted by 46_14_27 on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 19:48.
If you're trying to give Huet a by on that game, it's not going to work. Carbo doesn't get one either. It was the wrong goalie and bad decision.
Go Habs Go
Submitted by the_vipah on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 20:01.
Hey I didn't know you were the authority on who gets a "by" in this world, thats really cool. We were going to lose that game no matter who was in net based on how we played. Carbo had a tough choice, he's gonna take flack either way.
In the end, we left our fate to the last game of the season, the Leafs scored several lucky goals, we took very bad penalties, Huet let in a very weak second goal and we mustered zero in the third. We lead that game 5-3 and they scored the final two goals on the PP.

I'm not sure if what is being reported on RDS.ca as noted by Fun Police and Jason M. about Grabovski intentionally missing the next flight (because he was benched again) is true or just the french media blowing another issue out of context.
If Grabovski deliberately missed the flight then he's wrong. Forget for a minute that he may score more points than Dandenault, be faster than Smolinski or work harder than Latendresse. Forget the debate of whether Carbonneau should play him or not. All that doesn't matter. What matters is that Grabovski is young and has to pay his dues and wait for his turn.
Look at players like Plekanec and Andrei Kostitsyn. They played at least 2 years in the AHL before making the big show and being regulars. Earlier this season Grabovski did squat with the Habs and went down and rightly so.
I saw Grabovski play with the Bulldogs before his recent call-up and he was on a tear. I do admire him having the fire and passion of wanting to play. I recall one of our famous legends whose number hangs from the hallowed rafters went nuts when he found out he might not be playing.
Having said all that, if veterans like Ryder, Smolinski, Begin and even Brisebois can sit out in the press box without much noise despite being unhappy then a young player like Grabovski has to sit tight. Imagine Halak who hasn't play a regular season game yet or a player like Chipchura who is still down in Hamilton? Are they entitled to throw hissy fits as well?
It appears that Gainey and Carbonneau will not discipline Grabovski as I'm sure they have dealt with the issue as they deem fit. However, if Grabovski pulls a suck again I'd have no problem sending him back to the AHL. And if he doesn't want to resign or would rather go back to Russia like Perezhogin so be it as Teacher has aptly noted.

I heard on the radio that Grabs had the flu (as did RDS' Pierre Houde). The last thing the Habs need is something contagious, except wins.
Submitted by xile on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 19:10.
Although I agree that Grabs is wrong in this particular situation, I still think that we can't put the entire blame on him. We do not know the full story here, and who's to say whether or not Carbo provided him with a tangible explanation to his benching prior to the Phoenix game? As I recall, last year - or even at the beginning of this year - Carbo had enormous difficulty communicating with his players (see Kovalex, Alex). Of course, it seems that he has improved in that aspect, but perhaps he still does have some shortcomings?
I also believe that when dealing with young prospects, the coaching staff as well as upper management have a responsibility towards their development. If you deal with them in the wrong way, you may end up losing them. Every player has a different personality, and it's up to management to deal with each of them accordingly. To be honest, I am still rather disappointed with losing Perezhogin. Sure, he's a crybaby but the guy was still young and was having a tough time adjusting to North American hockey. Habs management could have done a better job while dealing with him.
What's past is past, we can't do anything about it. However, this Grabs issue is still in progress, and I seriously hope Carbo does not jeopardize another young talent. Maybe Gainey should have kept Grabs in Hamilton for a little longer? Or maybe he should have waived a couple of our extra veterans to clear up some space for him?
In the end, Grabs made a childish decision (if what RDS is reporting is true), but the world is not black and white. We can't blindly blame everything on him without having analyzed the whole situation. A lot of parties are at fault here.
Submitted by The Teacher on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 19:19.
He's the coach! If he says you're not playing, you're not playing!!! You wanna play, show up and work hard in practice. There are NO excuses for childish behaviour such as that, if it is true. ESPECIALLY from a freaking rookie who IMO should have been left on the Hamilton playoff roster. I was shocked when I didn't see his name there.

difference being that Richard had already proven himself at that point, and was trying to return to the lineup from an injury...and Irwin kept making him sit...so he TRASHED THE DRESSING ROOM....that is one of my favourite scenes...then Irwin says "Thats the passion I want!"...when everyone thought he was going to get mad at Maurice.
as for GRAB...buddy, make your statements on the ice...you can't even shine RICHARDS dust....
this GRAB issue must be a big misunderstanding...you don't just miss a charter flight!..everyone gets on the bus together etc....where the heck was he? taking a shi#?

That's how I understood it - he voluntarily missed the flight. Is Mark Gandler his agent? :)
That was a pretty stupid move. On one hand I understand why he'd be pissed with guys like Lats still in the lineup. But dude... 19 games in the league and you pull *** like that? Not smart.
Submitted by Les-Habitants on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 18:27.
Halak's first start of the season. Looking forward to see how he looks!
Submitted by fun police on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 18:27.
according to rds, out of protest of being scratched, grabs skipped the flight from pheonix to l.a. and joined his teamates there this morning. he met with bob and carbo. no discipline is going to be handed out to grabs.
you could see why he'd be frustrated when a person like dandy takes your place. grabs sits and a guy like lats who hasn't scored since who knows when consistently plays. in my opinion, grabs is further along the development line than lats. what does lats do exactly? then there's slowlinski.
Submitted by ZepFan2 on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 18:58.
Sorry, I feel no sympathy for him. Ryder has been thru much worse this season and hasn't complained once, and he's a vet.
This is a rookie being given a chance to play in the big leagues, and this is how he handles disappointment?! He better learn to suck it up and shut his yap, at least until he has a few seasons under his belt.

Uhh if this is true, he should be sent to Siberia. Who is he to even think about getting mad. Bye bye Grabs. I don't want a baby on my team.
Not being placed on the Hamilton playoff roster is above and beyond what he should have expected. He is now my least favourite Hab. Beating out the Breezer.
Like seriously, who the hell is he? I'd send him to Montreal to shovel out the Bell.
If there was no discipline, I'm inclined to think he made a mistake and RDS is making it up that he is mad and missed the flight purposely.

I doubt somehow that Grabs would do that on purpose, or atleast I'd hope not anyways. Meanwhile people need to stop raving about this guy, hes done very little to prove he belongs up here other then skate fast. He is extremely easily taken off the puck and rarely lasts more then 2 seconds in the corner with his skates under him.
Also people bitching about having Lats in there over Grabs, well heres something to chew on. Lats has size and has 14 goals this year. Also, players with the size the Lats can take time to grow into their bodies at the NHL level. Think Joe Thornton who has never been an amazing skater and was awful his first couple of years. Or Leclair for that matter who had decent wheels but never had the success with the Habs that he did upon being traded. I would rather have Lats in the lineup for atleast another season before I label him a failure.
Submitted by doug on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 21:03.
I hadn't thought of it that way before; I definitely haven't seen much out of Grabovski but I specifically missed your good points on Latendresse. Interesting perspective/ insightful.
Submitted by the_vipah on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 20:05.
First time for everything ;)
Submitted by Shiloh on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 20:01.
I think Lats only gets a few goals when he's on with good players - he certainly will have difficulty getting to double digits in assists this year. But forget about that - the real question is why he hasn't ever been given a chance to play 20-25 minutes a night in Hamilton? He just might be exactly what we need if he develops some speed, a shot and a mean streak. He could turn into a banger who can contribute 15 or so goals a year. But it's doing no good at all to have him up with the big club playing 10 minutes a night and being out of the play most of the time.
He needs a lot of work on his skills - skating, shooting, passing. And he should go the same route that Pleks, AK46, SK74 and all the others did. It sure worked well for them.
Submitted by the_vipah on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 20:04.
Other then the fact that SK74 got nearly zero experience in the AHL, I completely agree. The problem is, which big body is going to replace him in the lineup? I have a bad feeling the Ducks may show us just how lacking we are in the size + toughness department on Sun.
Submitted by Shiloh on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 20:48.
We do need the big bodies - I agree with that.
Submitted by JasonM on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 18:26.
Apparently Grabs was pissed that he didn't get dressed for the game and purposely missed his plane to LA after hearing he'd be benched again.
Check RDS front page.
Submitted by NightRyder on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 17:42.
With the day off and coming off the win, I would've gone Price against LA, Halak against the Schmucks. If Halak soils the sheets, we're in tough to make it a .500 trip. If Price wins against LA, the Ducks game is gravy, no pressure on Halak.
Second-guessing is so much fun.
Submitted by the real vinnydj on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 18:16.
Your starting goalie plays the bulk of the games, win or lose he should be in the next night....Unless you are playing a bad team (L.A)or (TORONTO)hahaha. Some people might think it's better to start your starter against the poor teams to guarantee 2 pts but Halak is no slouch and needs to get some playing time.
Submitted by Habs-Kat on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 17:39.
I'm excited to see four players in particular:
Jaroslav Halak for obvious reasons.
Anze Kopitar for being one of the most exciting young players in the West.
Raitis Ivanans because he's a former Hab and because he's a linebacker on skates.
Jack Johnson because he's a highly-touted young D-man that I've never seen play.
I'm sick of the current NHL schedule format, I wish I could see Western conference players more often.

Looking forward to watching him play :D Should be an exciting game... but I'd be careful if I were the Habs... coming off a shut-out win against Ottawa (even if they are struggling), the Kings should have momentum. Never take a team for granted! Remember the early season games against ATLANTA?

I saw Halak play in Toronto this year against the Marlies. He is a BIG goalie, covers a lot of the net. He can play, he is ready for the NHL. I look forward to seeing him play tomorrow. should be a fun game to watch. Good call on putting Halak in against the Kings, and seeing Carey against the Ducks. Halak has been sitting for awhile, wouldnt be good for him to play one of the best in the league(Ducks). If not the best.

I think Halak plays big, but he's not a big goalie. In comparison to Price who is 6'3" 215lbs., Halak measures 5'10" 180lbs. Take a look at the "photos" section on this site and see the one of the two of them standing next to each other. Halak is dwarfed by Price!
Submitted by Habs_008 on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 16:10.
He looked big, maybe cause it was the minors and i actually had seats that were close to the action...i know Price is a bigger goalie, and i think a better one..but Halak can play.
Submitted by ClaytonM on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 15:57.
If Ottawa keeps up the way they've been playing they might not even make the post season. That would be sweet not just because it eliminates a tough scoring line, not just because sans fans are getting obnoxious, and not just because it would mean the analysts would be preparing for a sans meltdown next year just like they expected the Habs to do this year.
No, that would be sweet because it would cost Bryan Murray his job as coach/gm of Ottawa and I wouldn't have to listen to that lisp of his during interviews.
Sufferin Succotash!!!

I think the Sens are gonna snap out of this. They have too much talent to give up on this year. Alfie, Heatly, Spez...... they can win games on there own. I think Alfie is hurting a bit and thats why u are seeing this slide. He is the heart and soul of this team. Once he gets better, watch out. I hope the habs dont play em first round....i would rather play a boston, philly, buffalo.
Submitted by rogus on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 16:05.
No jokes. What if we end up with the Sans in the first round? Seriously though there is a good chance that we'll meet a division rival. Who would y'all rather meet?
Submitted by usversusthem on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 16:07.
I guess any sane person would want to face the Bruins, but I worry... I'm not sure how much longer we can keep dominating them. All those regular season losses are just going to get them hungrier and angrier to turn the tables on us. I guess I'd like us to face the Sabres... I think we could definitely beat them without too much trouble.

in any case, we;re winning the next 2 games
Submitted by Chuck on Fri, 03/07/2008 - 17:15.
To further his progress, Price has to play against the big boys. He's our #1 now, so there's no sense in sheltering him from tough teams.

Hey, anybody hear on Grabovski's status.
According to CJAD he has disappeared and apparently flown back to Canada.

Too bad - he was a blast to watch. Hopefully he'll be back soon.

He's got the flu and has been sent back to Montreal so he doesn't spread the wealth

I thought he had the flu

News to me, never heard that one.

Didn't he get banged up pretty good near the end of the Sharks' game? Or - Chipchura or an enforcer could have been called up and Grabs sent to Hamilton. Guess we'll find out soon.

Grabs isn't on the Hamilton playoff roster so he's not going back down. Except perhaps for conditioning but I even doubt that.

I think he got hit in the face with a stick but I didn't think it was anything too serious..

Man I really hope not and if it's true it boggles my mind why he would not be used in favor of Dandenault or Smolinsky when Grabo is clearly more skilled, imo of course.

Dear god, I hope not. If a serious rift has developed between Grabovski and the team due to letting Dandenault play that game... wow... Talk about a mistake.

Good luck Jaroslav! Time to shine and prove everyone wrong!
I've got a Halak attack! :) I'm an alkaHalak!

Who is he supposed to prove wrong?

Everyone out there who never had faith in him making it in the NHL, including myself.

I think Bob Gainey said that he has two very strong young goaltenders - but just one net.
I havent heard any negative about him... at least not from the media I've been privy to.

Excellent choice...

Just think - Desjardin is not that far behind. Can you imagine the debate's in the coming years. Our goaltending depth is incredible!
