For the money he's makin'...
For the money he's makin' and the skill he's got, with Greening hurt, I'd have David Rundblad playing left wing with Spezza and 9mm. David may have to play 4th line left wing when they put Caspers up there on the first line anyways...
If Alfie cannot return for the road trip "Shanny" should be fired...failure to protect the safety of his players!
Robin makes peanuts in the "Show" let him come up and back up "Andy", the big team needs him...
For all you "Foligno Traders", Nick is playing second line on your big team all by himself and making a pretty fair show of it.
If I was Bryan Murray, I would call in every one of our stick manufacturers and make him personally responsible for the fit, flex, strength and playability of every player, who is playing with his stick on our team. I can tell ya just sitting there with the naked eye, some are too long, some blades are too thin, some of the shafts are too frail, others are too brital (pucks bouncing away)...Come on boys, this is National Hockey League, sharpen up!

Where is Alfie?
Five straight power plays in New York tonight, Rangers three nothin' in the first period, why can't we see a little of that...we are the least Power Played and most penalized team in the league by a wide margin!
9mm is all we got...
Zack is the "Nuts" of the team...
The "Daug" is an excellent hockey player...
Condra is just going to get better...
The commentary on Kuba is a smoke screen...he's brutal!
Bring up Lehner and give Andy a break, he's playin' great but he's ready to crack...
We need Alfredsson back bad...
Winchester couldn't put the puck in the ocean...
Jason has lost that half step again, we may be playing him too much...
Foligno is OK but ya gotta give him something to play with...
DaCosta got run over and lost a puck battle to a guy the same size as him.
Neil is starting to forget about the puck again...
At least #2 and #5 pushed the odd guy from in front of the net...
"Bryan...either play all the kids or go out and get us a second line center!"

Hockey's version of"Stickem!"
It was as if the puck would stick on the Montreal players stick and stay...ours not so much...ours not at all...
In the old days, the old experienced defencemen could stick around because they would take the puck off you and it would seem as though it was stuck to their stick...our old guys don't get it off the other guy and there is too much of that Pierre McGuire's active stick,waving it around to no result...put your stick on the ice and take the puck off the guy.
Butler stunk, he turned the wrong way all night. It was evident early that he was going to the wrong spot with the puck or his body every time...that's tough to do!
When the power play was number one Jason was shooting from the half wall...all of a sudden he's going back in the middle, into the traffic where there is no play...
If for no other reason than to show you are an intelligent builder, ya gotta gas one old defenceman each game for the next three...the broadcasters are trying to tell us how well they all are playing, it's a smoke screen...
DaCOSTA shows flashes but he's easy meat for any of the big hitters as he cruises through the neutral zone and over the blue line...look out!
Lee didn't do bad...
Jared was OK!
Andy did what he could...
EriK stunk...he couldn't hit a bull in the arse with a snow shovel tonight. Everything was too high...it's his new long stick??
What happened to the guy going to the net. They practiced that for twenty minutes at the pregame skate...vapour lock...
The ZEBRA thought they were in Montreal, thus the HOME NON-CALLS...
Where's Alfie?

Shanny is the "Chicken!"
Shanny is the "Chicken!"
He's afraid of the Rudderless Rangers...
He's afraid of Colie Campbell and his Secret Committee...
He's afraid of the Back Room Boys, who call the shots...
He's afraid of the Owners...
And he ain't afraid of small market Ottawa but watch them leave Brendan in the lurch and totally on his own when the next..."Just a Hockey Play!" results in a very serious injury where the victim does not walk away...
Note: Watch out for these "Little Boy" tantrums...Last year Jason's push from behind...season over. This year, this Wolski "Cut", mad at the world, unloads on Alfie...that's what Konopka was trying to tell us...
This is not the time to sit Jared...
Jared does not require any "over" coaching at the moment...
Cowen, with the big reach and front of the net presence, helps Mr. Gonchar a lot more than he gets credit for...
It's not #2's fault that #55 is not reacting fast enough at his own blue line...#5 does not have Jared's range...
Pacioretty needs to see the mirror image of Big Z, Max is getting uppity again and Jared is not afraid to put the body on him but good...
Lee in all fairness is too rusty for the Habs, unless you take one of our old turtles out the Defence Corp...
Reggie Dunlop says: "Let 'em know you're there!"
A troubled 6'3" 210 lbs wonder kid, who is on his way to the minors because he doesn't play in traffic, has left Ottawa/the NHL with his own personal legacy...a late, no puck, out of position, blind head shot to Alfie, that could be career ending and Colie and Shanny let Wolski get away with it!! Shanny your explanation is simply wrong and it "stinks!" Remember the Ref penalized Wolski for an "Illegal Shot to the Head!"

Theories!
If you are going to subject your goalie to 40+ tough shots every night bring up the "KID" and play him about 1/3 of the time.
Start substituting for one old defenceman each game, they are worn out and it's only November...a fresh Lee is better than any one of them...
When you are the first line on a one line team, ya can't take nights off...especially against your own division...
I'd pay the ransom for Turris...
The "DAUG" is back for the Habs, he knows Montreal really doesn't like Latvians...
Foligno and his Parisian center could use Alfie in a big way, maybe for Buffalo...
Stop taking Neil off the third line, that line is as good as you have got...
Keep skatin' 'em, when you are this tired you either faint or get your second wind...
Coach Paul, you have the last change, let us see some bench jockeying...
Remember our theory, we have to hang around untill the New Year and our "young people" get 40 games under their belt...
Win or lose, it is fun to watch, thinking about the Tranna guys drooling over our real "prospects!"

"Boston Garden!"
Boston Garden...hot pucks, bad ice, Big "Z", Coach Julien and a lot of angry Bruins...and ya know what...our kids are not afraid of HIM...some of the guys that played with HIM are a little tentative but ya can't blame 'em!
Their goalie, is the best, but he looks fat and slower to me. Let's get him before he gets himself back in shape...
They miss Ryder, who da thunk it!
The Sophomore, because "Thank you Kessell" is playing so well is feeling the heat...he thinks he has to score 10 in ten games...
The Bruins are switching back to their Playoff pairings on defence...this is not good news.
The "little punk" thinks he's a fighter, a tough guy, he could be the source of two minutes of PP Time tonight...PPs for us are going to be few and far between...
Bergeron owned Spezza last year but he has not seen our "New and improved version" this year...
EriK under normal circumstances no, but tonight on their poor ice and those bad boards if Lumbering Lucic wants to go into the corner first then let him...discretion is the better part of valour...
Kelly could be a factor...
Gentlemen, you are going to have to play the road game of your life tonight, but ya got the squad to do it!
