Re: All Hockey talk all the time
Shabbs, you raise a good point.
Montreal is on the brink.
Carolina gave the Flames a caning last night. Watched that game, and looked like Erik Cole has already made a major difference there.
Caught bits of the Buffalo game...they are a different team with Vanek back, and when Moore gets his visa problems sorted (Vermette had the same hangup by the way, thanks to US immigration bureaucrats), Sabres will be tougher.
The Pens are marching again, and Torts has jumpstarted the Rangers (the addition of Morris, Antro and Avery also helps them).

A win by Buffalo and Florida tonight punts the Habs down to 7th and even closer to the brink. And as you said, if the Pens and Rangers start to win... they'll be on the outside looking in very soon.

Shabbs, agreed...the Penguins are already better with Bylsma (7-1-1 since he took over). Bringing in Kunitz and Guerin and giving Miro Satan a bus ticket are net positives. Gonchar makes a huge difference as well.
IMHO Carbo has never gotten a handle on the Habs. He does not seem to know how to motivate or manage them. They missed the playoffs in his first season, and while they had a terrific regular season last year, they were shaky in the post vs Boston before Philly finished them. A number of Montreal fans were crowing this year, but the inconsistency was evident from Day One--underlined by many expert hockey observers in the Montreal media like Red Fisher, Pat Hickey, Yvon Pedneault and Dany Dube. When Lang and Tanguay went down the rest of the team couldn't pick it up, and the defense lost its hard center when Komisarek blew his shoulder out in that dumb fight with Lucic.
For the last twenty years, Habs head coaches have lasted not much more than three seasons, by the way.

Here are the facts. They had 0 injuries last year, and this year they couldnt handle them.

True to a certain extent, however...Koivu was out last year at a key point, but overall last year they had no major injuries.
The loss of Mark Streit and failure to replace him on the PP has been another factor this year.
The falloff in performance by Kovalev, the Kostitsyn brothers, Plekanec and Markov--as well as Carey Price--has had its impact.
But the issue of why they were inconsistent in the first half of the season is not answered, except to raise numerous questions about the quality of Carbonneau's coaching.

Islanders just smacked Marty Brodeur around...7-3 over the Devils.
Dean McAmmond got another assist, plus 2, played 25 shifts, 18 minutes...2 goals and 3 assists in his seven games on the Island. Good for Deano.

NBC will show the first two games of the SCF; Versus will show the next two, and NBC wil show any remaining games.
What if it's a sweep? That would kinda suck. Don't the Yanks understand that it's not a single game winner take all? Surely, with no time limits in baseball, the American public is used to pre-emptions, TBAs and "if necessary" in their guides.

The Jackets whipped the Wings...their third victory over Detroit in five games this season.
Watched this one...and it was shocking to see the extent of Columbus' domination of Detroit...in the Wings' own building.

Re: All Hockey talk all the time
Didn't see it. How did the Wings goaltending look?
I love their forward corps, and while Kronwall and Stuart and the rest of the supporting cast behind #s 5 and 28 on the back-end may have taken a step back, their defence is still top of the line.
If anything is holding them back, it's Osgood and Conklin.

Eight goals against twice in the space of about a week. Yikes. I have a feeling they'll regret not making a move for a goaltender at the deadline.

It wasn't just the goaltending...the Red Wings have issues defensively. Mickey Redmond was very emphatic about that in his colour commentary.

Indeed. But, Dallas is on the brink too so both teams will be playing desperate. Should be a good game too.
