    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...

    Two good ones in a row! 3 or 4 day break now I think.
    Hopefully they keep it up!

    Kovalev is playing great btw, i changed my mind, the one i'd like to go now is Ryder :) , getting a character player in return, and sign Forsberg to take his roster spot with Higgins and Koivu... ok i might be dreamin...

    Forsberg won't play untill after the all-star break, and he can't stay healthy these days.

    Forsberg could be ready to play in mid-november, but more likely before christmas, i'd play him on the wing with Koivu and Higgins. Would be an awesome line. Yes he could be injured but i think the Habs have good depth, Ryder isn't doing much anyway and he's an UFA at the end of this season. Oh and to keep this in the dreamin section, i'd try to get Boucher for Ryder in Dallas.

    Imagine when the Habs are trailing 2-1 with 1 minutes to go, Carbo sending Kovalev - Koivu - Forsberg - Higgins - Markov - Boucher... hehe, yeah definitly dreaming, will never happen.

    In fact what i'm trying to say is, the Habs have a good young team, just need one good forward and maybe a 4th d-man to be one of the best in the league.

    Haha, yeah he probably would. Put McCabe in the press box for a 25 game streak.

    The D is finally looking alright in Montreal. I love seeing Komisarek run people over...(especially if they're dressed in blue, cough cough!)

    I love Komisarek, players obviously don't like to try to go along the board on his side when he's on the ice, unfortunalty for them, it's Markov on the other side. That's why i'd like to have another d, to play with Hamrlik, who's way better than i thought on defense, i think he's overpaid but he's playing very well. I'd rather have Hamrlik at 5 mil. than McCabe at 5 mil. ;)

    He has started playing a little better, although I still say he's overpaid (Hamrlik). Brisey isn't doing too bad either.

    Habs run over Carolina...
    4 power play goals in the first period, 5 pp goals in the game puts us to #1 on the pp, which isn't a bad thing, but I'd still like a better % of goals scored to be on even strength (not that I mind winning).

    Kovy pots his 5th goal of the season in his 1000th NHL game.
    Three really good games in a row...something is up.

    You mean Komisarek?

    Price gets his first home game of the regular season. It's on TSN too, yay!

    Non non, Markov. But in the end we all know who this trophy belong to, Lidstrom is already +9. Phaneuf is also having a great start. But if Markov keep playing like that, he could be a contender. Komisarek is playing great, but he won't stack up the number of points require for a Norris winner, anyway Habs looking great and that's all that matter... oh the Habs just climb to the top 5 in the TSN power ranking...

    Maybe not the Norris trophy, but the Chuck Norris trophy.....
    Markov is doing pretty good and it'd be nice to see him keep it up.
    Top 5, eh? Too bad we're 6th worst in the league on the PK, eh?
