Habs Struggling

Many people will argue whether Guy Lafleur was right in saying the Habs aren’t working as hard now as during the glory years but you won’t find an argument as to how the team is playing now; awful. The Habs have now lost 7 of their last 8 games and are stuck in last place in the North-East divsion despite overhauling the team in a 6 player deal with Chicago. Jeff Hackett is 0-3 since coming over from the Black Hawks but at least Hackett has been healthy which is more than the rest of the team can say.

The NHL’s iron man, Mark Recchi is playing hurt, so is linemate Saku Koivu and winger Brian Savage. Vincent Damphouse is out, so is Benoit Brunet so is Shane Corson. All in all, 6 regulars missed each of the Habs last 2 games, both times they lost thanks to quick collapses. Friday, they blew it in the third period, Saturday in a 4 minute span in the second.

In Montreal losing in un-exceptable and rumours have begun right and left; Reggie Houle is gone, Alain Vigneault is gone, Ronald Corey is gone and of course, almost every player has been rumoured to be on the trading block. All of this shows the sad state that the Bleu, Blanc and Rouge now find themselves in.

I’ve taken down the poll on what all-star format people would most like to see. The majority would appear to like to see Gretzky-Lindros-Fedorov line up against Domi-Grimson-Barnaby. Here’s the results.

Team Notes:

Montreal: As the Habs continue to struggle, a major overhaul is imminent. If things don’t change, expect Reggie Houle to get the axe and maybe Ronald Corey too. Houle hasn’t made one good trade since coming to Montreal so it looks like his days are numbered.

Ottawa: The Senators got a steal when they sent Stan Necker to the Rangers for Bill Berg and a second round pick. A second round pick is a lot for a guy like Necker who is around no.8 or 9 on the Ottawa depth chart.

Toronto: The Leafs are still first in the east, which means they probably won’t have to deal Potvin until the right deal comes along. The Leafs are hopping Jeff Hackett bombs in Montreal so they can move in for the kill.

Calgary: Although Fleury’s rumoured to be on the block, he probably won’t be dealt until the deadline unless the Sharks are seriously offering Brad Stuart in return.

Edmonton: Doug Weight is hoping for an early January come-back which would put him 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule.

Vancouver: Despite what Brian Burke says, Bure will be dealt soon, and he won’t get nearly enough in return.
