That certainly wasn't the most exciting game to watch, but I'm glad that I didn't doze off in the third, the Habs saved the best for last. After Price's performance in Nashville and last night's overtime/shootout win it's becoming clear that he doesn't want to be the reason for the Habs not winning hockey games. He's starting to look like the racehorse that Bob Gainey is convinced that he is. If the Habs have a chance in hell of getting into the playoffs, they'll only get there riding on Price's back. Word on the street is Brian Gionta is out indefinitely with a broken foot. We just can't seem to catch a break. Do we see crybaby Sergei make an appearance this week? AK46, Lats and Laps came out of the ether last night, but I'm not popping the cork on the champagne after one game.
There were rumors circulating yesterday that the Habs were in talks with the Oilers about acquiring Andrew Cogliano. I checked out his stats, he's a 22 year old centerman and he's scored 18 goals in each of his last two seasons. A swap for Lapierre?
There are no easy games this week for the Habs, Washington on Friday, Detroit on Saturday. But with our boys you never know, they might crank it up a notch and surprise. Apparently George Laraque will be dressed for the Washington game, maybe the plan is to put him on the first line hoping he knocks Ovechkin into tomorrow. The Leafs managed to beat Detroit, so it's not mission impossible, but with our luck, highly improbable.

Cogliano would be a sick pickup but I would expect Edmonton would want more for him then just Lappy.
Price has been ridiculous these last two games. I love this "I'm F'ing crazy" Price.
Justin,
I was just throwing Lappy out there, but I have no idea of what they would expect in return. I love Price's "eye of the tiger", I really want this kid to succeed.
I'd take Cogliano in a second. He's a great young player. Let's give up about three for him.
Let's give them Lats, Mad Max, AK46, Georges Laraque, Sergei and a loge at the Bell Center.
We're down one Italian! Gotta get 'em all! (Though David Desharnais would probably be a better temporary replacement for Gionta, and he just came back from a broken foot too).
