    Pretty good article, and more or less the same thing he said on Sportscentre this morning.

    I think Kovalev has never been so close to the exit, thanks to his good playing on the ice Bob Gainey may finally find a taker. I know you like him, but i sure hope he'll get traded, i don't even understand why they still give him a "chance".

    In the good news section, Price in the net tonight against Ottawa!!

    Go Habs Go!

    p.s.: How about a Dandenault for McCabe trade? Would make Toronto fans happy... :)

    Well we'll see.
    I do like Kovy, but I'd understand why if they sent him packin'.

    With Huet's play lately, it'd be good news if he was in the net tonight as well.

    Well I was expecting a loss against Ottawa, but wasn't expecting good play outta the Habs, so it was a loss I can swallow. Another solid game for Kovy, who told off the media earlier in the day (told you it was them :P).
    Price is going to have to do something about that four and a half foot five hole though.

    Gonna be a long long season...I should make a sig out of that..

    Yeah, we'll read the "played well but lost" line a lot this year, good little team, without any killer instinct, playing well, but not winning. Good thing is they HAVE to make the playoffs, so Bob will HAVE to move if they keep losing. Who, when, where, that i don't know, i just hope the "when" is soon :)

    Well I won't completely disagree, but more often than not (at least for us) the resulting moves aren't what we were looking for.

    It isn't too often I can look at two losses in a row in a positive light for the team, but they really are playing well despite them. Last year it was not playing at all and losing. We need some wins for the boys to maintain their level of play. Who's up for Saturday?

    Nope. He had quite the open 5 last night, looked pretty sloppy for that.

    So why does everyone think it would be terrible for the habs to trade Kovalev for Tanguay ?

    Apparently only I do.
    Kovy's playing great right now.

    Well it would be an interesting trade if it happened, yeah i'd agree Kovalev is the more talented, but Tanguay is more consistant.

    Personally I like Kovy, despite his media issues and oft-interpreted lack of interest in playing :P

    The Tanguay rumor has been dismissed anyway, as i said was too good to be true.

    Huet's up for saturday.

    Who're we playing on Saturday?
    I still don't think it would have been a great trade anyway.

    Awesome game last night.

    Habs killed those Boourns good! 13-3 in their last 16 against them...although I don't know why they quoted 16 games on TSN...

    two last games were great, the Habs finally scoring goals. If they keep playing like that on defense and score some goals, they could be in the playoffs...
