Kovy is made of: gold. Pure, unadulterated, Honda-driving, gold. Gold with hands of diamonds. Gold with a sexy beard. Gold with a shot so precise, Jesus himself allowed a single tear of joy to stream down his cheek at the site of its beauty. Gold so brilliant, Mr. T should be wearing Kovalev around his neck.
Honestly, both these vets will be taking pay cuts. We will see them both in September 100%

For all the Lafleur bashers, probably most of you are in the Captain Koivu for life gang, ask yourselves this.
What's the difference between Bob Gainey and Guy Lafleur?
Guy Lafleur isn't afraid to speak his mind, some people call it brutal honesty, regardless of how un-politically correct it is. Bob Gainey either wouldn't know what the truth was if it bit him on the nose or is plain and simply incapable of speaking it.
“We want an exciting team, a quick team, a fast team, a puck-moving, skating, attacking team, and to do that you need to put players in place who have those skills.”
“Halak made a remarkable impression in his first season in North America. He has an excellent work ethic and could become an excellent goaltender in the years to come.”
“I like my team.”
“My best move as GM was hiring Guy Carbonneau as the head coach.”

Lafleur needs to hit the road, enough of this old bitter man. If Gainey decides to offer Kovalev anything its time for ownership to step in and remove him also. We need heart not spoil rotten rich brats that need 24 hour babysitters

3 reasons for me to pull for Pittsburgh tomorrow night.
1 I always stick up for the under dog.
2 Mario deserves it after all he has done for this franchise,
3 It will look good on Hossa for being a prostitute.
These are the best two teams in the league, it will be a great series of speed and skill. Enjoy our game everyone!!
Submitted by HardHabits on Fri, 05/29/2009 - 15:23.
My reasons are:
I like Pittsburgh's brand of hockey more than I do the Red Wings', which is starting to remind me of the New Jersey Devils.
Sidney Crosby touched the Conference trophy, showing class and courage, whereas Zetterberg refused to, because he's superstitious. I'd rather that class and courage win out over fear.
The Hossa factor!

That's as good a reason as any for me HH. I've had a tough time deciding who to cheer but I've had enough of the Red Army and their everlasting dynasty. Syd is the real thing and while I don't like the whining I do like the skills. The Pens may not be the better team on paper but they have shown a resilience and spark that I admire. So, for the next 2 weeks...Go Pens.

-Gainey re-hires Michel Therrien as head coach with Reggie Houle as director of amateur scouting (based on his previous success) and Brisebois as defensive coach(based on this previous success)
-the Habs suck, as usual and finish tenth losing their final five games of the season to the Thrashers, Islanders, Leafs, Bruins and Leafs again to end another miserable campaign and Gainey once again promises changes and to be a "player" in free agency

I've been wracking my brain all day, and for the life of me I cannot think of a single other retired star (in any sport) who consistently rags on his former team as much as Guy does.
Honestly, can you think of even one other example of this type of behaviour? It's like a compulsion or something...it's just embarrassing.

Its true that its odd that he talks so much but its not like hes calling for press conferences, its usually the reporters who go to him as they know hes always good for a quote, but when he says something he usually is right, I agree with him mostly anyways.
Submitted by Omit on Fri, 05/29/2009 - 08:36.
Do you mean right like last year with his comment about four 4th lines on the team? How does a team that he described like that finish 1st in the East and 3rd overall in the league? Can you tell me what he's been right about?
He's not even intelligent enough to say "no comment" when a reporter asks him a question. And not smart enough to know what his job description is.
Submitted by Chuck on Fri, 05/29/2009 - 09:35.
I doubt that "no comment" is in his job description.
The team was playing like crap when he made his "4th lines" comment, and they turned it around to finish 1st in the east. Perhaps his comment stung their pride enough to light a fire under their butts.
If anything, the man obviously feels for the team. But his problem is that he's unlike 99.999% of the players that have played in the NHL; he played and thought the game on a level than most players can't comprehend, so Guy has a touch time putting himself in their shoes.
Kovy's like that, too.

The only comparison - and it's a weak one - would be players who demonstrate a dislike to their former team through their actions, a la Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers. Problems with this comparison:
a) I genuinely think Lafleur has the best interest of the Habs at heart. I think he's misguided, and obtuse, to say the least, but his ramblings come from a fan of the Habs. Favre is no fan of the Packers.
but, on the other hand,
b) Favre is not an ambassador of the Pack, nor ever will be. As a team ambassador, you would expect a certain mutual respect. The Habs have given this respect to Guy, but it has not been reciprocated.
The Favre situation is therefore closer to the Roy phenomenon, whereby a star leaves on acrimonious terms. In either situation, however, the Packers and the Habs - and, more importantly - the fans of the Packers and the fans of the Habs, deserve better.

I would hate to see Saku go! This man has meant so much to the organization and I truly believe the players around him, respect him! Now I still think that the prioritites of this franchise are far from deciding who will stay or go. The focus should be on who will own the team and who will coach. If I could choose, I would like to see the Molson boys buy the team outright because of the history between the Canadiens family and the Molson family. As for a coaching staff I would like to see Don Lever as the head coach with Doug Jarvis, Kirk Muller, and Larry Robinson as associate coaches. Goaltending coach, Olaf Kolzig. This is where the franchise needs to start and stabilize itself. The player personnel comes after!
Submitted by Infanteer on Fri, 05/29/2009 - 07:15.
I agree with everything, except the choice of head coach. The Habs need a proven NHL coach, with the requisite experience in a) handling the media, (though Montreal's media is not your typical NHL media) b) handling prima donna stars (Kovalev at his worst) and c) nurturing young talent.
Furthermore, Lever hasn't really excelled at the AHL level, except for 06-07, when - backed by Price's heroics -they won it all. Given the oft-cited talent of Montreal's farm system, the Bulldogs' record is underwhelming.
Meanwhile, I think Saku is sadly gone already. His post-season interviews indicated to me that he had little desire to return. I could hardly blame him.

only difference is koivu has made a max of 5 million and lecavalier will chew up about 1/5 of the salary cap...

I'd rather have Marleau and St.Louis with Tanguay as top line. 2nd line should be Kovy and two other Ruskies like Antropov and Zherdev. Put Yemelin with Markov and we can have a Russian 5 a la Detroit Red Army.
Submitted by Vid on Fri, 05/29/2009 - 00:47.
that would be nice but we'd be lucky to acquire even just one of those players outside the team you mentioned. Zherdev is RFA, Marleau still has one more year. I do see it as possible for the habs to sign Antropov as a free agent and to trade for St. Louis if Tampa aims to dump salary.
I expect the habs will sign Tanguay and if they wanted to could get Kovy back but the habs won't be successful if they can't make enough moves to form a legitimate 1st line that doesn't involve Kovy.

Look the only captain to replace Koivu is #4 Vinny and he deserves the "C" not kovalev, especially at that kinda money. for an extra 1.5 mil on top of the deal for kovy would get us Vinny. We can still make the deal...( well let's hope).

Submitted by TheMock780 on Thu, 05/28/2009 - 21:23.
What is with everyone's obssesion with Vinny? He's a injury risk who's only had 100 point seasons playing with Marty St.Louis and he's not worth his contract at all. He hasn't sniffed that number without him on his line. I'd much rather have Jay Bouwmeester or Ilya Kovalchuck then Vinny at this stage.

Submitted by HardHabits on Thu, 05/28/2009 - 21:56.
Why is it that it's OK for Koivu to get injured but not Vinny? I think Vinny's contract is too huge money-wise but I think he's got more years left in him and more to come.
Submitted by slapshot777 on Thu, 05/28/2009 - 22:39.
The problem with Vinny is the contract. 7.5 million at 40 yrs old. Here we are saying that Koivu and Kovy are worth around 4 to 4.5 mil at age 35 and 36, yet we are willing to overpay big time for Vinny. I don't want that albatross hanging over the teamshead for the next 40 years. Shoulder and wrist injuries are hard to say how a player recovers sometimes and he may need further surgeries down the line to correct other problems with the older injuries.
Submitted by HardHabits on Thu, 05/28/2009 - 22:45.
I'd rather Marleau and St. Louis and put them with Tanguay. There's a #1 line!
Submitted by habs4_25th on Thu, 05/28/2009 - 21:38.
When did Boumeester or Kolvalchuck get 100pts in a season? Whats wrong with actually wanting a Canadian captain in Montreal. So because they have injuries we shouldn't get him. to each their own, but if you have the right people in the right place anyone can score. it's the players ability to take it over and above and I think Vinny could do that, don't get me wrong Kovalchuk could do just as good of a job. Just a bit bias on having a Canadian captain. My other suggestion would to try and pry Jordan Staal out of Pittsburgh as our star centreman, we all know that evenually Pittsburgh can't afford to keep them all.
"To you from failing hands we throw the torch. Be it yours to hold high."
Submitted by Infanteer on Fri, 05/29/2009 - 07:59.
Since coming into the league 4 seasons ago, Kovalchuk has never scored less than 42 goals, and had 52 goals, twice. In 10 NHL seasons, Lecavalier has scored more than 33 goals only twice, (40 and 52).
Furthermore, Bouwmeester is a defencemen. It's hardly fair to compare the stats of a defencemen to a center.
And - last but not least - Jordan Stall as our "star centerman?" He has never scored 50 points in a season. I'd take 52 goals over 49 points pretty quickly.

He went into the corner and Jeff Shantz from Chicago leaned on him a little bit. For some reason his knee just gave out in a freak incident, not unlike his next serious knee injury when he was carrying the puck and eluded a defenseman and his knee buckled.

If I remember correctly, and believe me I'm fried, Koivu got hurt going into the corners or near the boards after the puck. He was kinda crazy that way but it was more he couldn't support what his heart and desire wanted to. It wasn't knee to knee or a dirty hit. It just buckled under the pressure. He was leading the league in scoring at the time. Frig! I've always loved Koivu but sorry to say the last 2 years got me thinking it was time to move onto new captain time. I also can't see the value of keeping a player who gets injured regularly. As captain, it's proving to be disruptive to the team's chemistry. Anyways, I went into rebuild mode well before the season ended.

Lafleur was an awsome player. I'll give him that much credit. But other than that he is a jack ***. The "family" should disown (did I spell it correct) this criminal. By the way, didn't the Ranger family adopt him. From what I remember, he quit on the habs and came back to the NHL with the Rangers and Nordiques. Its not as if he even gives a *** about the Habs. He never has anything good to say about them.
Submitted by HardHabits on Thu, 05/28/2009 - 19:49.
That's pretty harsh. He retired because he was being stymied under Lemaire's system. He returned to the Rangers and Nordiques because he later realized that he loved hockey and that he still had some good years left in him. The Habs dropped the ball on that one. They could have traded him, and Robinson for that matter, but got nothing instead.

It's not like they have hit a five-year fallow patch. Come on! They haven't done squat in over a decade and a half. They should have just tanked for a few years with gusto and loaded up on draft picks like the Caps, Pens and Hawks. Even a complete rebuild takes less than 16 years.

But, the clock struck twelve and the beautiful coach and trace horses turned into a pumpkin pulled by rats. You can't piss away opportunities like that. The biggest problem with the roster as of today is not a lack of ability, but a lack of effort and heart. You'd have a hard time convincing me that they care about anything more than their paychecks.

Dont forget Brian Lawton's interference with Plekanec', Higgins' and Gorges' psyche. Wow! All those dudes get the apostrophe at the very end to do the possessive thingy!!

Oh yay, A Bobby Fan.
Why didn't the Bread Maker get some help then?
Until this team rids itself of the over-rated one from Peterborough they are going nowhere.

maybe when the team doesn't get booed out of the building every time they screw up people might actually want to come and play here...
