This line in the Globe article is ridiculous:
"Kostopoulos denied he saw Timonen do anything out of the ordinary."
I'm not sure how they came up with that interpretation.
And then another article "No Suspension for Kostopolous" that starts out:
"Montreal Canadiens forward Tom Kostopoulos will not be suspended for his left hook sucker punch to the face of Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Kimmo Timonen on Saturday."
I wonder why they didn't simply end the article with "Go Flyers!"? They're just too obvious!
Kevin you forgot to post Jack Todd's article "Give Price a Chance"
Everyone on this board should read it and take it to heart. Sometimes we're too critical of a kid who still can't legally drink in the U.S.
If John Lennon was a Habs fan...and alive...
Everybody's talking 'bout Royism, Drydenism, Vezinism, Theoism, Brodeurism, Durnanism,
This - ism, that - ism, ism ism ism ism
All we are saying
Is give Price a chance
Everybody's talking 'bout high shots, low shots, screened shots, deflected shots
Yawning goalie picking snots, play Halak and yak yak
All we are saying
Is give Price a chance
Everybody's taking 'bout '71 and '93 and '86 and high sticks, goon scraps and jock straps
Brisecraps and time lapses, synapses
All we are saying
Is give Price a chance
Everybody's talking 'bout the Habs young pups, fisticuffs, and f*ck*ps, Stanley Cups and Stanley Cups
The kid's 20, time for plenty many, shutout. shut up
All we are saying
Is give Price a chance
Thanks for the link. What a great read and perspective on Carey Price!!!

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)

Players win games, teams win championships.

Interesting that the Globe reversed the order of Carbo's and Stevens' comments, reporting that Carbo was trying to make hay out of the incident, which actually doesn't make any sense. wtf?
Begin will be with Streit and Lapierre...Latendresse with Smolinski and Kostopoulos...I like it!
the cat - When you first look at it you say Lats in Dandy out is a downgrade but actually Lats began to play decent hockey, almost deserving to be in the lineup hockey, with Smols and Tommy K. and then he got hurt so it isn't too bad and Beijing will help the Maxim line. IMO it's plan "B" but acceptable. It's amazing the steps the hurdy gurdy man would take to get his boy in.
Yup, sounds good to me.
Guys I was wrong. It's Dandy who is out, not Begin!
I think Dave Stubbs is obviously just trying to brainwash the habs into thinking theyre the underdogs -its brilliant.
BEGIN OUT, LATENDRESSE In FOR TONIGHT!
Makes no sense. Why take out Begin?
Dave Stubbs, I think you're great, but this is just silly:
"the Canadiens understand they're in a fight against a very talented, inspired team that really should be leading this series 2-0. . . . with a better bounce or two and had an officiating coin landed on the other side on a pair of calls in the opener, Philadelphia would be returning home looking to oust the Canadiens on friendly ice."
Well, by the same token, the Habs outplayed Philly all through game 2, had a couple of bad bounces, and had a missed interference call on the insurance goal when Carey's glove was slapped. If the Flyers "shoulda" won game 1, then the habs "shoulda" won game 2. The point is, the playoffs are full of crazy bounces, and sometimes a team gets beat even though they play better (cf Boston vs. Montreal games 2-6). This series is tied 1-1, and the Canadiens are playing better hockey.
Game day jitters maybe but if there is one guy we live or die with it is the goalie. No earth shattering news there, but like someone else here mentioned it is time for Price to get into the zone, the one he was in the end of the season. It is just a bit nerve racking to have to repeat the line 'he always bounces back' too many times. Lets go Carey. Show em like we know you can.
After the last game he sounded like he was agitated with himself. Much more emotion (any emotion would be more) than he has displayed this season. I think that means he will be trying to prove something to his team, the Flyers and himself.
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.
time for a road win.
OFFICIAL: Dandy OUT, Lats IN
every time i hear the name umberger, i think about steve martin practicing english in the recent pink panther movie. "aaaaah voooold laaak to baaaa a umberger" i donno what it is. i just can't get it out of my head.
There was a hilarious photoshopped pic of Ken Hitcock standing behind Umberger on the bench. He's looking down at his jersy and name. The cartoon ballon says "Umberger...Yumberger!"
Everytime i heave the name umberger i get hungry.
Phewww, I'm not alone, my girlfriend gets annoyed at me cause I'm always launching into a variation of the 'dambourger'when he's on the ice :)
Everything about that jack bugs me, lol. Name & everything else!

This Is Where "Team Toughness" Gets Its Test
http://wwwrealitycheckeyesontheprize.blogspot.com/2008/04/this-is-where-...
George hainsworth, its true the team's effort has been questionable at times, but good things happen to teams that still win when they play poorly. I expect the habs to kick it into another gear for the remainder of these playoffs.
Did you know Hainsworth finished his career as a Maple Leaf....hmmm!
Habsgod, you predict 5-4 in OT and that Price will rebound big time, allowing 4 goals isnt rebounding big time, not unless the team allows 80 shots on goal lol
Agreed on Latendresse...Good news is that the habs PP and PK is better on the road. And while I like Halak very much and I would like to see him get a chance on Sunday if need be(Price cant get the job done on Sundays for whatever reason), but I think Price is special enough to rebound solidly. My prediction for tonight: 4-1 habs.
