Game 3 set to go in Philly

Great signature Habs 4 Me! Someone made a comment to me recently about "being on the Habs bandwagon" and I was quite insulted. Been a Habs fan since birth and there's no on and off for me either! ;o) ........... "To you from failing hands we throw the torch. Be yours to hold it high." The Drive for 25 is ALIVE!!

I wish I would have read Todds story "give Price a chance" before my last post. I agree that win or lose not only Price but this entire team is on the verge of greatness. I hope he remembers what Carbo has been telling him, just be yourself, be Carey... we don't expect the Jesus thing, but we have the faith.

Everything about that jack bugs me, lol. Name & everything else! ........... "To you from failing hands we throw the torch. Be yours to hold it high." The Drive for 25 is ALIVE!!

How many Habs games have you watched or do you just rely on what HNIC says about the team and you never watch a game yourself? I'm not sure what planet you are from my friend but you are obviously not a Habs fan nor are you knowledgeable about hockey; i recall another person that said Gainey was a big loser at the trade deadline..... JFJ. Maybe you can be JFJ's special advisor and help him build another NHL powerhouse team like he did with the laffs. Oh, by the way.... I notice your favorite player of all time is George Hainsworth...??? considering he died a dozen years before you were even born, and you would have been in your teen-age years to experience the mid-seventies Habs.... I am at a loss why you would have chosen George over the dozens of Habs superstars that played in your lifetime??? If you like we can slow down the wagon so that you won't hurt yourself when you jump off! ____________________________________________________________________ 1st of all i have forgotten ten times more about the habs then you could ever remember 2nd of all GEORGE HAINSOWRTH WAS THE SINGLE BEST GOALIE THE HABS EVER HAD BAR NONE !!! and maybe in this history of hockey and is without any doubt the most overlooked player of alltime!!! YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!! CALL ME AFTER YOU LOOK HIM UP AND KNOW WHAT HE DID !!! IT'S STILL A RECORD !!! and I guess they let any jerkoff post here if you can get away with slamming someone for who they picked as their fav player. 3rd of all. I am 46 I have been to seven parades. I learned to play from John Fergusson and I played for the jr. habs many years ago. Gainey BLEW IT AT THE DEADLINE...plain and simple...and you have to be a MORON not to see this now !!! Price has played 4 bad games in a row, and I never objected to HIM, what i object to is the team NOT SECURING A PROVEN GOAL SCORER AT THE TRADE DEADLINE when everyone around the team, on the team, observing the team...PROPERLY...can plainly see it was what they were missing...and IT WASN'T A 2ND RD DRAFT PICK IN 2009 !!! BUT I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH PRICE, HE HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE. THE PROBLEM IS THIS... THIS TEAM NEEDS AND HAS NEEDED A GOAL SCORER FOR THE LONGEST TIME... WE DO NOT HAVE ANYONE, WHO SCORES WITH REGULARITY GAME IN AND GAME OUT, in fact half the players on the team look frightened to even try with any vigor. OUR CAPTAIN HAS HAD 16 GOALS IN EACH OF HIS LAST 2 SEASONS... 16 MAN !!! IT'S EMBARRASSING !!! AS FOR BEING KNOWLEAGBE ABOUT HOCKEY AND ALL the rest, i'll gladly match my hockey knowledge versus yours any day of any week at any time buddy !!!

Well I agree, I have noticed that.

Price was not great but he was not poor either. Don Cherry actually did a good segment on him showing that our players were responsible for the first two Flyer goals. Koivu screened him completely on one and a defenseman deflected the other one and it rose sharply off the stick and found the perfect hole right under the crossbar. The last goal he had his glove whacked and it wasn't because he sat back he was moving towards the puck and the Flyer just made a nice play. He still looked a little shaky at times but he was not to blame by any means. Biron was the culprit .....the only culprit responsible for us losing that game.....noone else on the Flyers stood out to me at all. We dominated that game everywhere except where it mattered.

Smolinski..... and the third line center could be Higgins is what I am guessing he is alluding to. That grinder line should be our fourth line ....we have the players to make that happen and did all year long. I'd rather leave Laps move Streit back and drop Gorges or O' Byrne and Dandy and get Ryder and Lats playing again.

it didn't take the flyers long to figure out that's where to beat Price.

The absolute worst at raising the puck is Koivu. He is incredibly shifty and an elite passer but he AlWAYS shoots low and goalies know it. He does generate rebounds by doing this but he rarely scores himself. He creates so many opportunities for himself in the slot area but should try going high now and then to mix it up because he would definitely score more. Pleks is really good at mixing things up and although he has a better shot than Koivu I think Koivu could score nearly as many if he started using the upper half of the net.
