patweisers44 697 Posted March 3, 2008 Kind of a meh! performance last night against the Red Wings. Sabres scored on their first shot and spent the rest of the first period in their own zone. The joke line (maltby, drake, draper) got a couple goals. Kronwall back and playing well. Hasek losing the rust....once Lidstrom, Chelios, Rafalski and cleary come back they'll be back to 100%. Still hoping the Avs hang on to #8 spot in the west so Detroit gets them in the first round...for old times sake. ETA: 80 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blitzen 0 Posted March 3, 2008 The Habs will go 2-2 on their western trip. They'll lose to Nashville and Anaheim and win against SJ and the Kings. They'll win 2-1 tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the second game on the trip is phoenix instead of nashville. the coyotes have been struggling to score goals lately. Either way it would be an ideal place to give Halak a start, what do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way it would be an ideal place to give Halak a start, what do you think? You're right...don't know where I got they were playing Nashville. I think they have a shot at 3-1 then. And yes, Halak needs to play soon and that would be a good matchup for him. I'm not worried about him though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tough game tonight, I think the Sharks have won 6 in a row. Should be a good one. I'm gonna stay up for it. 10.30 est start time. I'll roll in to the office slightly late tomorrow. Bold prediction: 4-1 Habs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucky your team is in the eastern conference. detroit and CBJ fans get hooped being in the Western Conference and having a bunch of these EVERY year, not to mention the extra travel in the playoffs. Anyway, tonights game has 2-2 going into overtime written all over it. I'll take the Sharks in the shootout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IAMWood 6 Posted March 4, 2008 Not a real big hockey fan but do appreciate the sport and the athleticism required to play it. Looks like fun. Not much ice to play on growing up in Texas, wish I had the chance. Anyway, I was in Buffalo recently and had a conversation with a local. I asked him about the how he felt about the Dallas Stars beating them in the cup in '99. He said, " no goal!" I went on to tell him how I see it. The town of Buffalo are a bunch of crybabies and need a reality check, especially the puzzy azz coach who cried the loudest. the 'no goal' was in the 2nd overtime of game 6 to clinch it for the Stars. I have always said that you should never put yourself in a position to lose a game from a bad call, and this call was just questionable. But the sabres had 3 periods and 2 OTs to score another goal and didn't do it. And even if it was a no goal, the game would have just continued and the outcome could have been the same, but say that the sabres pulled it out, they would have had to win a whole other game to win the cup. All the buffalo people do is cry about it without facing reality, no respect for that part of the country, buncha whiners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How is it now that a guy bleeding on a high stick is now up for interpretation? Are they going to measure blood flow now to determine the extent of the penalty? The NHL needs to treat the refs like the NFL does. If they suck, say so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronToe Nedney 0 Posted March 4, 2008 I made until the end of the game, 1:07 am. I also made it to work on time. Horrible refereeing, but it was the same for both teams. The one major annoyance was the constant running into Price, Wtf? They didn't call it once. Smolinski needs to go, what a pile of dung. Dandenault can play forward and would do a much better job. Other than that, I enjoyed the game immensely, they need to lose once in a while, keeps em grounded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weird for a vet. I would rather they bring up Chipchura than play Dandy personally. If you're gonna go young might as well go all the way. Chips would get playoff drive experience. He was one of our best players early in the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is he really playing that poorly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is he really playing that poorly? +/- stats are prolly somewhat misleading but he is currently worst on the Habs. I just haven't seen him play big games that often but he usually does after sitting so it wouldn't hurt to try him I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IronToe Nedney 0 Posted March 4, 2008 Either Chip or Dandenault, or just some guy off the street... has to be an improvement over Smolinksi. I'm pretty sure we won't be seeing him again for the rest of this road trip, at the very least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
