I've been a defender of Kovalev over the years, too, but he's worn the patience of this team and its fans. His occasional brilliance simply doesn't make up for the discouraging influence he brings to the team when he plays so terribly.<BR/><BR/>That three of the best-performing Habs were seriously injured on the weekend shows that fate has decided what sort of season this will be for them. If the playoffs start slipping away, Gainey should trim the UFA fat and pick up some young talent for the future....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703672817425686916.post-39805163145614759052009-02-02T08:49:00.000-05:002009-02-02T08:49:00.000-05:00Just found this... seems as though Guillaum's brot...Just found this... seems as though Guillaum's brother also injured his shoulder... and his (Olivier) season is over.<BR/><BR/>http://www.rds.ca/bulldogs/chroniques/268273.htmlYveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04401807179000513345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703672817425686916.post-45094504543706287842009-02-02T08:45:00.000-05:002009-02-02T08:45:00.000-05:00This is definitely the time that Higgins needs to ...This is definitely the time that Higgins needs to prove his worth... and Plekanec step up also.<BR/><BR/>The recent injuries will cement both Pacioretty and D'Agostini in the lineup for the remainder of the season.<BR/><BR/>I loved Lang this year... always seemed intense on the bench... consistency followed him pretty much his entire career.<BR/><BR/>I'm wondering if Lang going down may spark Gainey to attempt to pull the trigger a bit more.Yveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04401807179000513345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703672817425686916.post-48807563706405414642009-02-02T08:19:00.000-05:002009-02-02T08:19:00.000-05:00The Bruins are the new Devils.

Having attended Super Bowl weekend games the last few years, the crowd - the young crowd waiting to explode - just never did. Because the game was boring. My kid was bored and he admitted it by about the middle of the second period. Another thing I noticed: Koivu kept shooting high on Price during warm ups. Not on Halek. Just reading the body language there was definitely something going on between the two of them.Arjunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051966548813673687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703672817425686916.post-5552217048269801902009-02-02T07:05:00.000-05:002009-02-02T07:05:00.000-05:00Carbonneau can't be afraid of benching Kovalev...Carbonneau can't be afraid of benching Kovalev, no matter how poorly he plays. If an indifferent Kovalev gets his ice time no matter how poorly he plays, what message does this send to the rest of the team?<BR/>I've been a fan & defender of Kovalev for years but this act is getting pretty tired.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
