That's true, blame it on Christmas. It seams that year after year, the Habs show us all their skills and potential in the begining of every season, and by the time Christmas comes along, they show us how bad they can also be. So what's really hapening?
I think, in my hunble opinion, that the Habs are always eager to start the season, always are ready to start playing, they put Hockey and their job ahead of their families and loved ones and just focus on playing hard and work work work beyound their capacities driven by the adrenaline. But then the Christmas break comes in and puts a pause in their drive, they feel tired and over worked, and at the same time they feel good of what they have achieved thus far, the focus disappears, the adrenaline fades away, the rush is no longer there and laziness kicks in. And this will last till the trade deadline, mark my words, and then they will make another run for a place in the playoffs.
Problem is, this season is much different than the previous ones, because we have almost 8 teams fighting for 4 spots, and they are all only a couple points away from one another. So good luck Montreal!
On another note, and just like that i was thinking about how the players don't really care about the game that much anymore, how spoiled with money they have become and i wonder why are the GMs still signing them these stupid contracts, like the Samsonov - Kovalev - Koivu.... only to mention a few from Montreal... If i was a GM, first i'll take a long vacation hehe... no seriously, if i was a GM in the NHL, i would only sign my players to a bonus driven contract. Base salary of around 1 Mil. and depending on how much you achieve, you can get payed up to those silly figures of 5 - 6 - 7 - and 8 millions a year! I mean whatelse would make them want to work hard to earn their money? How many times we see players posting their worst numbers after signing a lucrative contract? Theodore reminds you?
Cheers! and i don't feel like re-reading this article to correct my mistakes, so i'll just post it as is!
Remember the great games between the Habs and Bruins in the seventies? Those were the days for sure. I thought this year they had enough to bring it on.
Hello all, My name is Jorj aka Ninoz aka Jorjino aka Wolf aka Isolater, the last one only used in online poker.
I have been following the Habbs for 15 years now, haven't missed a game nor trade nor gossyp since we won the 1993 cup. That season I lived one block away from the Old Forum on Tower Street and I was in the middle of the action, I was 19 and since, I haven't let go of my need for another similar experience.
I have been involved in a lot of Habbs hockey since, majorly organising pools discussing rumors, analysing games etc... I also make a good living betting online sports and playing online poker, my other big hobby.
I started this Blog because i like to give my opinion about my favourite team, and I like to have my opinion discussed. So your input is necessary....
