It has come to the point that despite a career high of 46 saves for Carey Price, with 25 more blocked in front of him, the Montreal Canadiens still end up losing a game by one goal. That is how weak and shaky they have been playing lately.
It has also come to the point that RDS’s journalist Renaud Lavoie confirms that the last time he saw Guy Carbonneau that angry was two years ago. That is how special the situation gets.
And it has finally come to the point that Guy Carbonneau has come back to his old habit of switching and mixing and moving his lineups like it is a whole new team every two games. That is how serious it gets in the room.
But hey, as Robert Lang said himself after playing the Blues, no matter how you look at it, it is a win. And we certainly do not want to contradict a 6’3, 220 pound man who knows how to direct a 6 oz piece of vulcanized rubber while down on his knees!
The game against the Senators was a much-needed win for the Montreal Canadiens.
If they had lost that one, we would have expected Youpii to be playing with Saku Koivu and Alex Tanguay, while Alexei Kovalev would replace Ryan O’Byrne on the blue line. And Jaroslav Halak would have taken his place with Tomas Plekanec.
Jokes aside, Guy Carbonneau seriously started to run out of speeches. Repeating that they need a leader and that someone needs to step up sounds more like an old disk than an inspiration. Moreover, it obviously didn’t inspire as expected.
But they won. If you allow me the expression: YAY!

One can hear the sound of knives being sharpened all the way out here. Not a good couple of weeks to be a Habs fan for sure.

Nice job Miah! For sure, someone needs to do something. I thought that Koivu worked his butt off anf he played with a lot of heart and character that hit was colossal on Wideman was colossal!! Big stuff for Captain K!) Tom the Bomba and Bégin are working so hard, you start feeling bad for them...Anywayz...I really don't want to see them struggle against the Islanders tomorrow...let's wait and see...

thanks Harani!
Koivu might have been pumped up by Jacques Demers and Patrick Roy's speeches, wishing him to win the stanley cup. I guess they should have added the entire roster on their wish, coz there have been some people who werent motivated playing!
we are going to see how they will do against the Islanders, who is in net?
