Who's responsible for the starts?

Who's responsible for the starts?
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — Generally, it's the coaching staff - and more specifically the head coach - who takes the heat... when a team looks woefully unprepared to start a game. If it was only a case of the last two games where the Canadiens looked horrible in the first period, it might be excusable. But this has become a ... (more) Who's responsible for the starts?

Sorry boss
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — You've got to hand it to them, your Montreal Canadiens have an impeccable sense of timing. Three... days before the team's big blowout 100th birthday party, on the very day that ownership changed hands, with not one but two champions in the house, and finally while the facing the hated Toronto ...

Is it time to sell high?
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — With the excellent start to the season Tomas Plekanec has had, people are coming out of the... woodwork screaming at the top of their lungs that Bob Gainey must sign him to a new contract immediately to ensure he doesn't add his name to the long list of free agents who have left town for nothing in ...

Vladislav Tretiak and his shadow
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — Let me tell you, I felt mighty small standing next to Vladislav Tretiak after Saturday night's game,... gabbing for about 15 minutes with one of the most influential players of all time. I didn't want to post this stuff earlier because I hadn't written my story on Tretiak's thoughts on the ... (more) Vladislav Tretiak and his shadow

They are asking readers to vote for their nine favourite Habs blogs. As of this writing, I am sitting in a tie for second place with a whopping six ... (more) Get out and vote!

As good as a win
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — The Canadiens probably don't think so, considering how close they came to pulling out what would have... been a tremendous win over a far superior team, but I still say what happened Saturday night is as good as a win. Down 2-0 after 20 minutes, with the same old injury-depleted lineup, the Habs ... (more) As good as a win

And what did you expect?
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — I don't know about you, but I got tired just watching the Habs try to stay with... the Pens in Pittsburgh tonight. If all the injuries weren't enough, with Andrei Kostitsyn the latest to go down, the team had to deal with playing a back-to-back against a team who was home resting and waiting. It ...

Character, character, character
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — Listen folks, I've had an epic day dealing with the hometown GM explaining how he could trade... away a local icon, the return of an enfant terrible , an enforcer's mea culpa on his brutal explanation for what was clearly a dirty hit, and a great hockey game to finish it off. I'm tired, and I will ... (more) Character, character, character

A scout's ego

A scout's ego
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — A trade like the one that saw the Golden Boy shipped off for Benoit Pouliot always gets... me wondering about what exactly a team's scout says to his GM to convince him on a player. In the case of Latendresse, Wild scout Blair Mackasey has watched him play at least 50 times since being hired, ... (more) A scout's ego

A trade of untapped potential
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — Or is it non-existent potential? We'll see, but the pressure will be on the coaching staffs of... the Montreal Canadiens and Minnesota Wild to prove they can get the best out of the young prospect they each acquired Monday when The Golden Boy was shipped out of town in exchange for Benoit Pouliot. ...

Gomez is not the fall guy
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — By that I don't mean Scott Gomez is not to blame for his lack of production so... far this season, I'm just saying that the fall season doesn't appear to be his favourite time of year. Jacques Martin said after practice in Brossard today that the Habs need to get more out of Gomez, and though he ... (more) Gomez is not the fall guy

Is it bad karma?
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — Are the hockey gods upset that Bob Gainey decided to take the quick-fix free agent route to... re-shape his team in the off-season? Are they punishing Habs fans for stuffing the ballot boxes to get Mike Komisarek voted into what will likely be the only All-Star Game of his career? Is there some ... (more) Is it bad karma?

Guess who's back?
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — No, it's not me, and I must apologize for my extended hiatus from the blog. But the... man who looks to be back in control of things is Carey Price, who backed up his team record-tying 53-save performance of Saturday night by stopping 30 of 32 shots and all six shooters in the shootout in ...

When stats lie
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — If someone hadn't watched Tuesday night's Bell Centre "contest" between the Calgary Flames and the Habs, there... are a number of misleading stats that could lead you to believe this 1-0 loss was actually a close game. First there was the score, and the fact Montreal actually outshot Calgary 20-19 ... (more) When stats lie

Patience has run out

Running out of chances Part Deux
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — So just when you thought maybe Carey Price wasn't what he was made out to be, he... comes up with a 42-save gem to steal a win in Boston. Now, maybe it's time for Guillaume Latendresse to do the same thing. Watching him circle around the net with the puck over and over again Thursday night in ...

Running out of chances
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — Carey Price has been confirmed as tonight's starter in goal for the Habs, and obviously I applaud... the move because I feel he gave his team a chance to win Tuesday night despite allowing five goals. Having said that, Price is going to have to start performing like he did in the first two games ... (more) Running out of chances

The cavalry's coming!
— dailyhab-it.blogspot.com — Yes, the answer to the Canadiens funk lies in today's recall of centres Tom Pyatt and Ryan... White from Hamilton. Wrong. This will do nothing to help cure the Canadiens of what ails them, other than to send a message to the regular group of forwards that they need to improve their backchecking to ...
