Well, 41 games played, 41 games to go. And here the goodship Hab sinking on a 7 game winless streak and on ''mediocre road'' with 41 points in 41 games.
Keep in mind, these are season ratings not ratings for the 2nd quarter........
Koivu: A+...simply marvelous
Zednik: A...must stop taking selfish penalties and avoid the occasional night off to reach superstardom
Markov:A...unbelievable all year long. Can he keep it up as his ice time increases?
Hackett: A-...still playing great despite 4 straight losses
Perreault: B+...would get an A if he had kept it up without Gilmour
Bulis: B...if only he had a goal scoring tough
McKay: B...grizzled warrior has been solid and should be better down the stretch when plays gets rougher
Gilmour: B-...great 2nd quarter makes up mediocre 1st quarter. Too bad a back injury derailed him
Quintal: B-...early season goat was steady in 2nd quarter
Traverse: B-...for what we expected...he has been solid
Brisebois: C+...veteran must Step It Up. Must shoot more on PP
Rivet: C+...surprising offence but must be more physical in own end
Theodore: C+...started showing signs of being No Way Jose again...3rd quarter should tell the tale
Kilger: C...an enigma. Has plenty of tools and is exactly the kind of players the Habs desperately need, but why doesn't he show up every night? where is his mean streak?
Ribeiro: C...still inconsistent but shows good flashes from time to time
Hainsey: C..see Ribeiro...hopefully Habs are patient..young d-man take time
Dackell: C-...must show more offence...from 15 goals last year to maybe 5-7 this year...and PK must improve
Juneau: C-... See Dackell
Lindsay: C-...hasn't shown the same spunk as last year but good role player
Petrov: C-...seems to have lost his energy of previous seasons
Blouin: C-...gives it all he's got...which is not much...
Audette: D+...zero goals in the 2nd quarter. Loads of PP time, time on the first line, every chance possible...it is just a slump or is he done?
Czerkawski: D definitely earned his trip to Hamilton. Should be the wake up call he needs to get going
Dykhuis: D...how can such a steady guy become so brutal? looked lost out there
No note for Hossa...too early
Overall, the team's 7 game road trip hurt the 2nd quarter results. The team was on a nice roll before it and after the game in Long Island it has just collapsed. Habs need to win these next 4 games against division dwellers or else it's probably bye bye Therrien.
