    I think the Pens will take the game tonight. It will probably be an extremely rough game for Hossa, but hopefully lady luck will be with him and he can shut the crowd up quickly.

    Watch for a "Gary Bettman" game tonight.

    OH BOY!!!

    Jacques Martin new head coach of the Montreal Canadiens...possible assistant the return of Mario Tremblay and Jacques Lemaire as consultant.

    WOW!!!

    You'll never see a team Trap like HABS. :D

    Now gimme Robinson/Lappy as D coach, Guy Boucher coach in Hamilton and François Allaire as Goalie coach.
    I love the move.

    The guy is a good coach

    It will be a snorefest. You don't want a trapping team because they're boring to watch and they're starting to get run over with the teams adjusting to the new rules.

    I gotta stream the game today :(
    You'll be able to for sure. I guess the bright side is that we don't have to listen to the crap from the NBC announcers.

    He's not an entirely defensive coach. When you have the puck you think offense, when you don't you defend. That's how it should be. Ottawa lead the league in goals when he was there. We don't have Hossa, Alfredsson, Havlat and cie though. We'll play a mix of New Jersey/Detroit's style.

    He'll have to play more defensively with the Habs. But against the better teams it will always be two lines across the center of the ice, dumping the puck in without a forecheck, keeping the game slow-paced, never having an odd-men opportunity, etc etc etc. I can't stand it.
