A roundup of audio from the Canadiens after today's practice. Alas, no sign in the dressing room of Avril Lavigne, who performs at the Bell Centre tonight.
• Carey Price on his third shutout of the season and roughing up Senators tough-guy Chris Neil
• Price on the Canadiens' improved penalty kill and ranking Calder Trophy candidates
• Josh Gorges on the PK and a very physical game in Ottawa
• Mike Komisarek on his ongoing rehabilitation
• Komisarek on team toughness and how he scores Andrei Markov's first NHL fight
• Guy Carbonneau's daily media scrum
who would have thought Carbo would be talking about the guys being unhappy about not being able to watch the movie on the team bus at this stage of the season.
"25 guys that pull for each other..." the Habs are the anti-Senators.
How much of a Cool Cat is Price?
"Yeah, it had all the fixins on that one... I figured I might as well try and follow through on the upswing, like a golf swing."
Oh forgot to mention, anyone see the frozen moment on NHL.com from the Buffalo game?? its awesome...you could literally see the heartbreak on the Buffalo fans...

"If I wanted to hear from an ass, I would fart..."

lol.. just a few Habs fans there eh? ;)

These are my picks for the week : (most beneficial seeding for habs)
Today:........Tomm:.........Fri:.......Sat:.......Sun:
PHI...........HABS..........CAR........HABS.......PHI
CAR...........NYR...........PHI........BUF........NYR
BOS...........TOR...........NYR........FLA...........
..............TAM...........OTT.......................
If all goes accordingly (or a variation of such) these are the standings:
Come Playoffs
MTL 104
PIT 100
CAR 94
NYR 99
PHI 97
NJD 95
OTT 94
BOS 92
Best case scenario (after HABS sweep Beantown) PHI upsets NYR
Thus: 2nd round PHI (free ticket into confrence finals)
Hopefully: CAR will meet us there (without Robby B.) = see SJ in FINALS
AFTER 6 games CUP comes to St. Catherine street OLE OLE OLE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OFFICIAL ESPN CUP PREDICTION: Montreal vs San Jose
I am equally bored at work....I see things a little differently
Pits 104
MTL 103
Car 94
NJ 99
NYR 97
Phi 95
Ott 94
Was 94
We will beat Ottawa in 6, Oveckin will take out Crosby in 7, Carolina will beat out Phil in 5, The Rangers will beat NJ,....Round two will go as follows...MTL will beat Was in 5, Nyr will beat Car in 6. Semi's NYR vs MTL. We will beat the Rangers in 6..in Game six we come back in the 3rd down 5 goals...We beat SJ in the finals in 6 games at home.
What is the staus of Bouillion, did I miss the report on his foot?
Frggin Briere, throwing his puck out like that.
Briere who I don't get it? The puck from the Ottawa shutout?
they were talking about his first shut-out against Philly...He shot the puck up in the stands after the game.
Ohh well. he is just pissed that he is missing out on a cup run by the habs...he could have been here (I'm glad he is not) We are better off with the guys we have.....
Price was given a puck by the Canadiens for the shutout, but not the last one on the ice that's usually given to the goalie. He doesn't seem too big on souvenirs, but stil...

I like how the team bus ride home wasnt too much of a party, gorges says they believe its only another step... although the carbonneau said the guys were mad bc the movie wasnt working... I always hated when there was no movies on bus trips.
last 20 pk's killed off, gone from 24 to 16th. how many pk's do we have to kill off to get in the top 10?
yeh he doesnt seem to fond of briere and his puck flipping skills
FIRST - thanks to Mr. Stubbs for the audio...fantastic...and unheard of only a year ago... I can't believe this site isn't crashing on a regular basis.
for those who cannot hear the audio, I picked up a few significant tidbits:
"its far from where we want to go..." Gorges - in regards to the northeast title.
"no body wants to be a passenger.." KOMI - on wanting to get back in the lineup
"team chemistry, 25 guys pulling together..." CARB - on the main reason for the seasons success
Its great to be a HABS fan.
---------
1. We will win the CUP
2. The BELL CENTRE should be rebuilt to sit 80,000 fans
3. Beware of the T.R.S.
You wouldn't hav seen Lavigne even if she was there.....she is about 4 feet tall.
I assume you mean Wednesday's Practice.
That was mean Breire!! He must have been mad at Carey for shutting the door.
Wednesday, yes. One day blends into another now... Thanks for the gentle slap upside the head.
