Théodore affrontera les Flyers C’est le gardien José Théodore qui sera devant le filet du Canadien qui affrontera demain soir les Flyers, à Philadelphie. Par ailleurs, Mariusz Czerkawski s’est entraîné sur le quatrième trio en compagnie de Chad Kilger et Bill Lindsay. Czerkawski n’a disputé que neuf minutes mardi et il ne joue plus en avantage numérique. L’entraîneur Michel Therrien est très insatisfait de l’éthique de travail du joueur. Ce dernier réplique qu’il n’en revient pas que l’organisation démissionne aussi rapidement à son endroit.
Dans un autre ordre d’idées, Andreas Dackell ne s’est pas entraîné aujourd’hui lui qui s’est blessé au pied gauche pour bloquer un lancer mardi soir. Il a fait le voyage avec l’équipe et devrait être de l’alignement jeudi soir.

Let the MT Bashing begin...

As big a fan as I am of André Savard, this is clearly turning into a mess and it's one most of us saw coming way back in August. How to find space for all these guys who are supposed to put the puck in the net? The problem, as Audette and Czerkawski and Petrov are finding out, is that we actually suck at center. Gilmour looks slow and lacking in creativity, Perreault has never been a really great playmaker, and Juneau has become a defensive specialist. We only have one good playmaking center and for now at least they've decided to pair him up with Zednick.

I think it's time for the habs to make a move. The right side is too crowded and the team has to right the ship before it self destructs. The best move is to trade atleast one of the skilled wingers out and get a decently big center. Maybe Marleau from San Jose for Petrov and Audette, maybe throw in another name. A move is needed to shake things up and fix the log jam on the wing cause right now there is no continuaty on any line and it hurts on the score sheet.

You'll never get Marleau for Petrov and Audette
IMO, one of the 3 mention(Petrov, Chow, Audette) will be moved for a LW to balance things out.
Gilmour will retire if things don't start going well and will be replaced by JV's fave Ribeiro.

Gilmour looks slow and lacking in creativity, He's actually my fave Hab, Johnny, but he really looked disinterested last night. He'd try something and the play would end up coming back the other way. Petrov, Chow and Audette, seemed to be trying to do it all by themselves at one point. Audette's confidence is low, or so it seems. Like you said, Juneau is a defensive centre and a darn good one at that. He actually won his battle with Mario last night. Perreault? Well, I still value his faceoff finesse for sure, but he didn't seem to be too much of a factor last night at all. Saku? Nice to see that spring in his step again. Cheers.

Which is why, that this team, can use, a guy with the superior vision, creativity and passing skill of Ribs. A playmaking wizz in a world of snipers... (Obviously JV, you knew I was gonna jump all over this... )

Good point - Perreault is a good center, just not a good playmaking center, and the wingers we got are all guys who need a good center to produce. We really need Gilmour to get going.... I think he's the key.

Snif! snif! Do you smell a trap? Was Mr. Verdun seting me up? he'll probably come up with the typical ''Ribeiro has absolutely no place on this team's or any team's 2nd line, he's too soft, small and gets pushed around like a barbie doll'' comment

Regardless of what we think of MT he is in a tough spot, if these guys are either not shooting ,passing way too much or trying to go through the other team by themselves.There is no chemistry on 2 of the the forward lines which are made up of all the guys that supposed to make the difference. To many similarities amongst our forwards,IMO its a perfect time for a move,somehow the Habs are playing .500 so its best to do something before things fall apart. HFTO

Throughout the pre-season and into the first part of this season, the guys that have really done it have all been younger. Who have we been impressed with?....Koivu, Zednik, Markov, Bulis and Hainsey. The disappointments have come from the older vets. Now some of those guys are going to turn it around, for sure, but I have no idea how long it will take. And it's unlikely, given the mindset, that we'll see Ward or Hossa up from the farm. Ribeiro would be welcome and may be injected, but MT has that thorny problem of too many vets too little time.

I don't think there is a need to panick and make a trade just yet unless we are getting a good return. The team is playing .500 hockey and it has both the worst pp and pk in the league. The pk will get better and so will the pp and if theo hits his stride this team becomes the team optomistically predicted by many including TSN a couple of weeks ago. Now that's alot of ifs but the season is still young and we are not in any trouble yet.
The other thing that concerns me is who do we give up. There are alot of players presently underachieving ( Gilmour, Cz, Audette, Petrov) and because of that I don't think we'd get much in return. I'd rather wait it out as i don't see all these players continuing to be in slumps.
I am worried that if gilmour's play continues at this level that he may pack it in soon. I like his leadership ability but he seems pretty disinterested lately and seems to just be going through the motions if that's possible for a guy like gilmour. I hope it is an injury that is hampering him (maybe still the groin ?) because if not i fear Father Time may have finally caught up with the warrior.
