I believe we've had that discussion before. French arrogance will continue to hold this team back
I have no doubts that the whole "speaking French" issue will hold the team back.
Until they realize that they should take the best management they can get, regardless of which languages they speak, the team might just struggle.
as much as I hate to say it, it's most likely gonna happen
schedules are up, the Habs look like they don't have too bad of a schedule for the first few bit, hopefully they can do better this season than last year
well, they can't do worse than last year.
Hard to tell, the team looks essentially the same, now with 100% less scott gomez.

A bigger issue than ownership/coaching is the stubbornness of the Montreal scouts focusing way too much on Quebec born players. Just look at all of the Quebec stiffs (looking at you Louis Leblanc and Mathieu Darche)they have drafted the last 10 years and you will see what I mean. I have nothing against Quebec/French players, but you have to be completely unbiased when it comes to scouting/drafting and Montreal has yet to learn this.
anyone have any predictions for the games tomorrow?
here are my predictions:
Philly over Pittsburgh
Ottawa over Winnipeg
LA over Chicago
NYR vs Boston should be good but I predict NYR
Montreal vs Toronto should be a tough one but I think the Leafs have the advantage
New Jersey over NYI
and Tampa over Washington

If its a point driven league and you dont have to worry about categories like penalty minutes that lineup looks pretty stacked

agree or disagree with those predictions?
'hawks currently leading 4-0 in the second, not a good start to a title defense...however the kings didn't get good last year until Sutter rolled into town in decemeber so we'll see how their season shakes out.

I only got to see 'hawks-kings (Go Hawks), but the 'hawks looked really good. Not sure if that says more about the 'hawks or the kings yet, but its a happy start. Oh and I saw the Blues destroyed Detroit... so maybe Detroit's GM knows something we don't.
Habs lost 2-1, with some stupid calls against them and Leafs fans are going crazy already
thoughts on night one of the NHL?
I going to assume you mean the unsportsman like conduct call against plekaneks when he gave Scrivens the snow job.
I like that the refs will be more actively protecting the goal tender. They never called those in years previous, but I hope they call them all the time. That type of play is sleazy and a crappy thing to teach the kids.
Whats going on PK Subban? He was severely missed from the habs defense.

that's the play I was talking about, not a fan of that call.
I like the call, I hope they call those type of penalties consistently all year across the league. Too many goal tenders have gotten concussions in the last 2 years from liberties taken against them. Also if the league wants to crack down on fighting, then the refs have to protect the goalies.
What would happen before is that the teams tough guy would have to go after the offender. Then the whole instigator penalty came in and goalies started getting run on. Ref's protecting the goalie is better for the players, the league and the game.

that's why I wish old management would have addressed issues before

that makes me one happy man
EDIT: the only thing that I wanna see happen in MTL right now is Subban get resigned, he's far too important of a player to let go

Im predicting Redden to OTT and Gomez to DAL. Both for 1 yr deals worth around 800K
Redden to DAL makes more sense, especially with Fistric being traded.

It's a point driven league, yeah.
I'm pretty happy with how it went.

I guess Montreal didn't play too bad tonight
they're not the same team without lidstrom or stuart, unfortunately (well lidstrom more than stuart)
