NFT: Giants Fans who are Habs fans

Eli4six : 11/23/2014 10:20 am
Here's a thread for us....big game in the garden tonight....love the moves that Bergevin has made...we have three lines that can score...and Weise and Manny are quality 4th liners...went to the Bruins game last night...they are dark this year...not the same team without Boychuk and Igilna, and Thorton...they are banged up...
But just not the same team....we have Dusty in the pipes tonight...let's play a strong road game and beat the blue shirts ....Go Habs Go
Go die

Nice cohesive reply....must have really summed up a lot of your literary knowledge to muscle out that scribe
I love what the Habs and Bergevin

are doing so far, like the Gonchar move even those he's 100 years old - he's helped on the power play already in his short time.

I think Price has had a handful of bad games, but has really grown into a upper echelon goalie. Completely capable of stealing a game or even a series (like the Bruins series last year).

The D is solid, but not spectacular, and the forwards are opportunistic, but not special.

No real stars on the team and if nothing else that probably helps with chemistry, but also hurts in some situations - like the power play.

Most underrated player - Andrei Markov. I hated him because he was always injured and they were paying hm a lot, but now that he's healthy, even at his age he's clearly a top 4 blueliner and the best on the team IMO - better than Subban.

Oh, and I wouldn't nail the coffin shut on the Bruins yet. They're playing without three regular defensemen (including Chara and McQuaid) as well as Krejci and Marchand.

Yup...agree...Galchenuck has the makings to be a star....was 4 rows center at TD Garden last night...he makes plays on most shifts...Marcov scored a goal and played a solid game....
Besides Spock, who the hell is a Giants and Canadiens fan?

I've been a Rangers fan and then  
SwirlingEddie : 11/23/2014 1:08 pm : link
a Canadiens fan.

As a boy I grew up in CT and listened to WNBC calls of the great Rangers teams of the early 70s - the Eddie Giocomin, Rod GIlbert days. But we then moved to Burlington VT and got Hockey Night in Canada on television and I was dazzled by the production and spectacle and the dominant Habs teams of the day with Lafleur, Robinson, etc. They were great to watch. So it happens.

But after I left for college I returned to my first hockey love: college hockey and still enjoy it to this day. I don't follow any NHL teams strongly during the season but playoff hockey is still fantastic.

To this day I will argue that Danny Gallivan and Dick Irvin were the best sports broadcast booth ever.
I was lucky enough

being a Rangers fan in an area with lots of Habs fans here at the border of northern NY. Most are obnoxious, entitled cry asses who boo the world when things do not go their way. They get more marginal calls that go their way than most teams do due to the pressure of refereeing in Montreal. I hated the dynasties that beat my Ranger teams in the Giacomin days and hate em still. NO HABS NO! NO HABS NO!

I'm loving my team much more this year than last year. We got rid of some smurfs and added more grit as well as size. Like pj said, Gonchar may be old but he is still effective. I think we will do well this year but I too am not looking at last night's win against the Bruins and puffing out my chest. They played without their three best players.

Finally love Carey Price. It has taken him some time, but he has evolved into a great net minder, the one we all imagined when selected number five.
I Like the 7 d..  
kevken60 : 11/23/2014 5:49 pm : link
...lol, hopefully it'll keep the "old guys " fresh. I wasn't sold on Markov either but he has been a valuable asset & mentor to Emelin.
Get the power play back to last year, appease the injury gods and this team will have a good spring!

Do you guys play a more defensive style with Tokarski in?

Last night, we took advantage of you being on the second of back to backs, but your style seemed a lot different than it normally does. Did the Rangers play that well/you that poorly, or is it a strategic shift with your backup in?

BTW, even though Tokarski wasn't good last night, he looked better positionally than he did back in May. He flopped around quite a bit back then.
Stop rubbing it in Brett
