i wouldnt say Lucky goals either, but i would say price had a few lucky saves, but played his butt off and he stole that game for his team.......Don Cherry was correct that Price should of been the first star, hands down!
told you guys to watch Stalberg..... kid has greatness written all over him, his speed is unreal, he just flys by defenders with ease...... time will tell..... whats the injury to Markov? ....... anyone got a damn jersey i can borrow? ( i sure am not buying a scabs jersey, although it would be fun to burn it after) i asked my "friend" and she wont let me back out of it....... if she wasnt so damned hot i just may have but oh well.......

Komisarek won't learn. He'll continue costing his team with his selfish and cowardly penalties. The Habs are better off without him - it's addition by subtraction one more time. But look at the bright side Leaf fans: you were playing Montreal not Boston, so at least Komi didn't have to get his clock cleaned yet again by Lucic.
So with an overrated bum in nets and a bunch of smurfs taking two periods to show up, the Habs still won the game. OUCH!
What I really liked the most was the "Smurfs" out hit Jurke's big scary Leafs 2-1 and Komisarek played exactly like he did last year ie. bonehead penalties, tons of giveaways, hits from behind on small players, and fought like he was hugging his Mommy. Unless he finds his 2007-2008 form again the love affair with Leafy fans won't last much longer.
P.S. Doc caught on tape leaving the ACC last night.

even tho the Leafs lost, there was alot to be encouraged about , they thoroughly out played the scabs for most of the game, and well, most isnt good enough as was the case. but price was on fire and the score could of easily been 6 or 7-3, but kudos to the scabs for pulling it out,,,,,, Komi has to settle down and he will be fine, as they said he was amped up for this game and played too agressive at times.,... overall if mtl is a measuring stick as an elite team this season, then great things are on the horizon for the Leafs, but unfortunatley, the Scabs are NOT an elite team, so hopefully the Leafs win alot more of the games they dominate and dont get beat by taking silly penalties or by foolish mistakes .....
Komi will never learn and he will continue to take stupid penalties, especially when they play the Habs. In fact there were a couple more that he could have been called on especially a cross check from behind driving someone into the boards which should have earned him a 5 minute major. He'll end up being more of a liability than anything else by the end of the season when the Leafs find themselves playing golf instead of playoff hockey.
But the Habs weren't very impressive last night either. Too many shots allowed once again, even though not many of them were very dangerous and the injury to Markov is bad news. But it will take them a few games to get used to playing together and we can't really judge them until another 10 games or so have been played. But they really have to get those shots down or Price will just fold again. No goalie can take a barrage like that game after game without burning out.
By the way lgna, congrats on your 1000th post!
How can you tell that summer is over? The Leafs are falling.
Markov out for 4 months ouch... They say he was operated on last night to repair a laceration on his left ankle. I guess it was pretty bad and tendons/ligaments were severed.
Huge blow to the Habs. I guess they'll bring Weber up because he can play on the PP.

Komi is a great defenseman, otherwise why were the habs not only grooming him last year to be the Captain, but also offering him a long term contract, you dont do that to a average player, plus he is an allstar D man,..... .... he is truly a superstar in the NHL and just has to get his head back in the game, there was NO DOUBT he was wired up to play the habs and his first game as a leaf, and he made alot of mistakes, but one bad game wont break his career, in the long run he is a great great GREAT addition to the Leafs and habs fans are just pissed because he left on his own terms and not like how your former captain and alternate captain were thrown out like yesterdays trash.....
First Game
Habs got 2 points, Leafs got 1..... habs lost markov for 4 months.
Looks like the Leafs did fare better last night afterall...... i do wish a speedy recovery to Markov however....

by the way, Chelios is available...... he may be pushing 50 but he plays like he's 28
Patrice Brisebois has approached the team about coming out of retirement. They haven't given him an answer yet. Some experts are now predicting that the Habs won't make the playoffs now with Markov gone for the most part of the season. These 'experts' had placed Mtl in 7th or 8th before Markov's injury. Tough!!!!
would not surprise me to see him back, but he is not the answer

another game they escaped with 2 points, again only because of CP..... can price play like this all season? can he stop nearly 40 shots per game? ., time will tell
Yea, that kind of luck isn't going to hold up all season long. They'll be coming back to earth very soon.
Plus they lost another defenceman. O'Byrne possibly gone with a broken ankle.
I never thought Hal Gill & Paul Mara would be so important to a hockey team until now!
