Carbo! Carbo! Carbo!

A week after replacing Guy Carbonneau behind the bench, Bob Gainey couldn't put the team back on track. We saw the same mistakes again and poor defensive coverage. It was the same team on the ice. They can be good in one period and horrible in the next period. The Habs weren't even able to clear their own zone unless creating an icing call. The players were taking lots penalties and allowing more than 45 shots every game. It became pathetic! The Canadiens have only obtained 3 points out of a possibility of 6. One of which losing against the worst team in the whole league in OT. No wonder the crowd shouted :

"Carbo! Carbo! Carbo! "

in the 3rd period while the Habs were losing against the New Jersey Devils last Saturday night. When was the last time you have ever heard this happening? The crowd chanting the name of the former coach? They are showing their disapproval to Bob Gainey of the firing of Guy Carbonneau. This demonstrates how much the fans loved Guy Carbonneau and that they know he has done everything in his power to make the team win. Of course, Guy has to take part of the blame, but it isn't entirely his fault. The fans know that it is the players that are the main problem here, not the coaches. It is up to the players work harder and win hockey games.

By the way, I have to congratulate Patrice Brisebois for his 1000th career game in the NHL. It takes a lot of hard work to get there. It also takes a lot courage to it in the Montreal Canadiens uniform after what has happened to him. It has been really harsh for him the last few years when he was still wearing the number 43. He didn't give up after all the things that were being said. I think he deserves this honour. Way to go Patrice!
