Another lost...

Habs lost 4-5 vs. Senators

I don't know what to say anymore, even if I want to stay as possible as I can, I don't see this team making the playoffs. Even if we do make them, it would probably be because of the teams behind us that have a bad schedule at the end of the season and depending on the teams they face. What is the point in getting in the playoffs if we don't even have a chance to get through one round? For George Gillet's wallet? What about the fans? I mean, it's terrible to watch a Habs game now, every night, watching them getting beat by teams that won't make the playoffs, it's just humiliating and insulting even.

I don't understand the decision of Bob Gainey to put Carey Price in net for this game. Just by seeing how he played in the shootout versus the Rangers the other night. You know that he has lost his confidence once more and you put him in net...What is he trying to prove? Why not just let Carey take some break and give him time to get his game back. He is still young, there is no rush in breaking even more. Halak has a bit more experience than Carey, he is a bit older, and he has been playing very well lately. Right now we need a goaltender that is constant, which isn't the case with Price.

Another thing I don't understand, why is he placing Mike Komisarek on the ice with Josh Gorges? These two guys are playing really bad lately and by putting them together you will only increase the mistakes they make together. Each time I see Komisarek handle the puck, or shoot the puck, I stop breathing for a second and hope doesn't create a turnover. And by taking stupid penalty also doesn't help the team. I never thought I would say this, but we need to take him out of the roster. He is actually hurting the team right now.

The only good decision Bob has made tonight was putting back the lines that Carbo made a few months ago. Although Plecky's line didn't do much tonight again, but the other two lines have. Latendresse was on fire tonight. We could see the importance of stability in the lines. Higgins have been visible tonight, at least we see him with more intensity and winning some battles in the boards more with Saku and Tanguay.

I continue to say, if Carey was a little bit better tonight, we would have won. These points are so important now, you cannot afford to lose any one of them. The Panthers have also won tonight, they are only at 1 point from the Habs...Come on wake up Canadiens!!
