Got this on the RDS site...
Hackett will get the start on Saturday. Maybe its just me, but after the way Theo played the other night, i thought he was a lock for the Kings game. Maybe the Habs are showcasing Hackett and a deal could be around the corner?
Also, RDS mentioned that both Quintal and Ribeiro are ready to go (Ribeiro will play a few games in the AHL), which means that Hainsey will likely be going back to Quebec, and that Bill Lindsay could be put on waivers before Saturday's game.

Could be something in the works for Hackett, but if not he deserves another start not going to lose any sleep on that decision,hainsey back to the minors?Well it will give him lots of ice time and get some confidence back and get his offense back,pair him with Komi,Not crazy about Traverse staying though,lindsay to be waived?Sounds like the right and only thing to do!

Assigning Hainsey to Hamilton is not a good idea. The kid belongs. He can learn here in practice and even if he only plays 2 of every 3 games on the right side (platooning him with Traverse) until Souray comes back, whenever that might be. I could be wrong about this, but I don't see Hainsey being sent down to make room for Ribeiro. What's more likely is that Hackett or Audette will be moved for next to nothing. Which is okay by me so long as Theo's back on track. As for Lindsay, he can help this team more than Mike Ribeiro. Ribeiro's biggest contribution will come on the pp, which is improving already and which would be even better if Hainsey were out there at least on the second team.

Well, so much for my prediction on Hainsey. I don't like it though. Not at all. This is a reflection of the coaching staff's inability in an important area, as far as I'm concerned.
As for Hackett starting, I don't have a problem with that. He's been rock steady and we're playing a very tough team. It's worth not risking Theo's recovering confidence. He's had 2 good starts in his last three. The start against NYI was a good call. This one is too. He'll probably play against Dallas, which will be a real test anyway. And besides, there could be some value in getting Hackett another good start in terms of moving him, which is something Savard gets less worried about doing every time Theo plays well.

Let's keep the Hainsey talk to the other thread... Ummm, Marc, considering you have two threads on the Hackett start going... Why not move one of your Hackett threads into the other? Save up board space?

I have one of them...the controversy one...plus it's more of a ''let's hope the fire MT calls come'' thread more than anything ;D Well regardless, it just seems kind of strange that you suggest Johnny should move his post on Hainsey over to the Hainsey thread, when you just started up a second thread on Hackett's start. Just a suggestion is all. We only have about space for 20 threads on the front page, and some topics may get bumped to the second page (and thus forgotten) if we keep opening up new threads on the same topic. Lets try to keep similar topics in the same thread, okay?

Ribeiro's biggest contribution will come on the pp, which is improving already and which would be even better if Hainsey were out there at least on the second team. And just exactly why has our future PP quarterback hardly got a sniff on the second PP unit? He should be a regular there. This decision alone is enough to fire MT. Completely, totally, and unbelievably imcompetent.

they better put Ribs on the PP unit when he comes back. Hopefully on the point. That's the only way he can really help us at this stage.
Anything to get one of Traverse/Rivet off the 2nd PP unit..

Completely, totally, and unbelievably imcompetent. Well only Therrien can answer that one, but I think it has to do with Hainsey not playing very good, the SH goals against were really killing us, and I would guess that they didnt want him to do too much, where he could make a major mistake that would cost us the game. Although he did get a few short shifts on the PP, I don't think its a big deal. If Hainsey was playing much better then he did, then I would be jumping up and down yelling why isn't he on the PP. But I've seen every game he's played and I just didnt see him look good out there. He was out of position a lot, he got caught running around too much, he looked shaky and without confidence. He got away from what is one of his strong points, last year he seemed to be so calm on the ice, but I never saw that in him this year (not that he played that much, so its hard for anyone to form a solid opinion). He also has to be more phyiscal, he doesn't clear the front of the net, and at times guys were getting by him, that shouldn't have. Not to worry though, I think he's got a lot of skill and will be back sooner then later. It worked well with Markov, sending him down, so maybe Ron can work on some things and come back strong.

Yeah but every player is different. Markov probably needed more of a kick in the butt. So he could learn in english and improve his effort.
Maybe all Hainsey needed was a Saperlipopette or two on the PP where he scores a goal and all of a sudden gains confidence.
Let's hope he comes back soon. If he stays down there the rest of the season,we're gonna have a problem next year choosing who between Hainsey and Komi is ready because the Habs would NEVER want 2 rookie d-man on the same team at the same time.
