I think perhaps Pat Burns left the team too late. Maybe we could have kept
people like Lemieux and Svoboda.

The team needs a backup goaltender. We cannot trust Roy's performance in the
playoffs after he plays so many games during the season.

I'm always curious to know how people get tickets. If you don't mind me

When Paul Coffey decides that he actually wants to play hockey, he can  
be an amazing player.  However, many nights he looks like he just
wants to get his shift over with and back to the bench putting 
forth little defensive effort and never sacrificing himself to
keep the puck on-side or take a guy out in front of the net.  But
then suddenly, with some motivation (such as a threat that he might 
be traded :-), he suddenly goes out (as in the Sharks game the other night)
and plays incredible.  But it is  hard for me to consider a player
"great" who does not give 100% ALL THE TIME.     

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give Paul Coffey about a 5.

        What is wrong with the "Habs" or whatever they're called is that 
they are a garbage team that floats on a string of ancient successes that 
occured for the most part when there were only 6 teams in the league.
        As soon as Quebec separates and becomes a northern Mexico, no one 
will want to play for worthless Quebec money and the team will fold.

This mark is not even close to a record.  In the days of the old 6 team NHL, regularily
only two or three teams would finish below .500.  In the even earlier days, when the
NHL consisted of 3 teams, the Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators and Toronto Arenas
(now Maple Leafs), it happened at least once that only one team finished below .500.
Granted in a 24 team league, only 5 teams below .500 would be remarkable. (Only 21%
of the leagues teams).  This might be a record for the lowest percentage on teams below
500 (I do not know- my Guide and Record Book is at home).
This statistic does not prove anything about how tough a league is.  Because every game
has one winner and one looser (or it is tied) the "average" team every year will be
500.  It just happens, because of fluke, that there are several teams barely above
average, and few below it, but the few that are below are WELL below (Ottawa, San
Jose).
To compare if the NHL is a tough, competitive league from one season to the next, one
might use the standard deviation of the teams winning percentages.  Since the mean will be .500 regardless of the level of competition, a low standard deviation would indicate
that all teams are around .500 (thus on any given day, any team could beat another one)
Probably, this season has a relatively high standard deviation because of the inept
expansion teams.  I have no desire to calculate this out and see if I'm right (I have
a life :-)).  If anybody does want to test their statistical knowledge and do this
calcualtion, I would be interested in the results.  Email me if you don't think the
entire net cares about tough statistical questions

The answer to this question is simple; there's too much dead weight on
the team.  To my surprise, Donald Dufresne has been playing forward
these past few games.  He has no business being in the N.H.L., let alone
with the Habs.  Gilbert Dionne, Dennis Savard, Patrice Brisebois, and
Mario Roberge have been underachieving as well.

Some wholesale changes are needed to revitilize the team.  Here are my
suggestions:  Demote to the minors Racicot, Dionne, Dufresne.  Call up
Kjellberg, Karnbach, Petrov, and Les Kuntar to replace "Red Light".
I am sure if the aforementionned players are given the proper ice time,
they will not only excel but help this team get its act together.
I would like to read some comments and suggestions from all you Habs
fans all over North America.

By the way, I've got tickets to tomorrow's Bruins game.  So to all you
Boston fans:  good luck.  NOT!

I don't think Indianapolis or Milwaukee stands a chance of receiving an
expansion team next time around.  The league policy, for now, is to expand
into populous American regions which do not have a team.  The obviouus
candidates for the next expansion would be a team in Texas and perhaps
Seattle or another west coast team.

If the league expands into Texas it would bode well for any future
negotiations for a prime network television contract.  The only chances that
Indianapolis or Milwaukee have are to move an existing franchise.

It is obvious that ESPN wanted the NHL package just to
cover the playoffs.  They will only show regular season
games on nights when there isn't college basketball to
cover.  Unfortunately, there are a hell of a lot more
college basketball fans in the US than hockey fans, at
least in ESPN's eyes.

Selanne has shown to be dangerous enough to warrant a shadow in the
playoffs come April.  Any Flames fan care to speculate who will get that
role, if anyone?  Paul Ranheim has the speed to keep up with Selanne, but
perhaps not the strength.

Putting the sarcasm aside, people fail to realize that hartford is 1
or 2 good draft picks away from becoming a great team.  Hartford has
the best young talent perhaps in the NHL, like quebec was 2 years ago,
Hartford (aside from any moron moves by the front office) are less
than 2 seasons away from being in the top two in the Adams division,
unless they are placed in another division because of realignment.

Top 5 American NHLers (IMO of course)
1. Pat LaFontaine
2. Kevin Stevens
3. Phil Housley
4. Chris Chelios (admittedly a big slimeball, but a good one)
5. Jeremy Roenick

I considered only those players who, as far as I know, learned to play hockey
in the USA.  Players born here but raised/trained in Canada (ala Brett Hull or
Mark Howe) I did not consider.  Come to think of it Roenick played junior
hockey in the Quebec League so perhaps he could be replaced by Brian Leetch.

As an aside, it seems that the US tends to produce lots of good defensemen, a 
couple good centers, but very few wings.  Coincidence or not... You decide.

Training camp doesn't start till September. We all know weather in the spring
and summer are hot and dry. They should have no problem getting it completed.
Even if it was not completed until October. Teams do switch arenas in
Mid-season, it just is not common practice.

Why should that be disturbing?  Would it help to explain why Clark is so
injury-prone?  Is that why Ellet is such a fluid skater?  I don't think so.

Hey, the entire team could be gay for all I care, as long as they bring home
the cup.  Your good friend is, in the polically-correct terminology, a
homophobe, and it sure seems like you are too, if you find this so disturbing.

I didn't want to hear about the Leeman-Iafrate thing because it didn't have
anything to do with hockey.  Neither does this.

If you can afford Paul Coffey, he is an incredible asset...but there
are more important building blocks to a winning team.
