Pierre the Great Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 this is a huge blow, but the habs will be fine. Lets say that's 5 weeks. Early May that's most likely middle of the second round. Habs will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chips Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 First of all, this is terrible. Going all season without anything serious and now.. we have Komi, Cap. K and Streets! out of the battle in sick bay. A good test for this team, tonight and in the last part of this season. Lets see who takes advantage of this and steps it up. Lastly, when I heard of this on an update on TSN. The first place I choose to check was Habsworld. which goes to show, when you want the facts and updates as it happens... there is only one place to be... HW! GO HABS GO! Keep the updates rolling in.. and thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAussiePosse Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Other boards are saying it's not true, or it will have minimal impact (ie., Koivu will pull a Yzerman) Edited March 29, 2008 by TheAussiePosse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 On TSN ice chips... http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?fid=10460&hubname= Saku Koivu and Mark Streit won't play Saturday against the Maple Leafs. Koivu blocked a shot on his first shift but finished the game against the Sabres on Friday. Streit suffered what appreared to be an ankle injury on the same shift. Head coach Guy Carbonneau says both will have x-rays this weekend. Mathieu Dandenault and Patrice Brisebois will suit up in place for Montreal. The Canadiens did not skate on Saturday morning. - TSN Jaroslav Halak will get the start against the Maple Leafs on Saturday. - RDS Defenceman Mike Komisarek is suffering from a hip injury. - Journal de Montreal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAKS-AVENUE Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Muller played with broken ribs in 93. They both wear number 11. There is nothing to worry about except play-off propaganda. Komi is fine too, in case you guys were wondering. Same with Crosby. Mixed signals will be common practice in the coming weeks and I don't think we will be able to get a straight answer from anyone. Saku's fine. I'd be worried if he went down kicking and screaming McCabe style last night......but he didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les_glorieux Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) UPDATE Canadiens spokesman Dominick Saillant emails from Toronto that Habs captain Saku Koivu has a foot injury, suffered in Friday's 4-3 overtime victory over the Sabres in Buffalo, and will not play tonight. He will be re-evaluated back in Montreal. www.habsinsideout.com Edited March 29, 2008 by les_glorieux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortHanded Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 If this is true it TOTALLY sucks!!! hope the rest of the team can pull together around this. I know, some people are probably thinking sak hasn't done all that much this year, but we still haven't had to play without him, and a few years ago when we did (aganst Carolina) the results were awful!

Habsfan Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Still n news on RDS.ca. I'll believe it when the game will start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 hmm re-valuation. It might just be bone chips or something or deep bruising hopefully. lol i wonder where rds got this info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 Still n news on RDS.ca. I'll believe it when the game will start! Well Koivu is not playing tonight. You can bet your life on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 that's already been confirmed jmmr, now its just speculation, which can get out of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Stealth Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Speculation=Sucks like the Canucks! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! The Habs will be alright either way. They've got a solid team with lots of hungry young players led by the magnificent Alex Kovalev. I should add that Koivu will hopefully be ok.

Pierre the Great Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 lol remember last year when Kovy wasn't so great. Now he's the best again. love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neech Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 lol remember last year when Kovy wasn't so great. Now he's the best again. love it ? Yeah that's pretty much how it happened. About the Koivu situation, I find it doubtful that he would be able to play the rest of the game after an injury that will put him on the sideline for over a month. Hopefully this is just someone talking out of their ass, and the lack of news on RDS is encouraging. It's probably the type of injury that he can play through, especially with 10 days to rest before the playoffs start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I already pointed out, such things are not unheard of. I know of a QB who played an entire game with a broken wrist and then missed an entire season. In addition, playing the entire game on the foot surely did not help it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably the type of injury that he can play through, especially with 10 days to rest before the playoffs start. While that could be true, Ryan Kesler last season took a puck to the skate in game #1(2nd or 3rd period. think 3rd) vs Dallas last year in the playoffs. He finished the rest of the game which was the 4 OT marathon and it was revealed he'd be out for at least a month after the game. So who really knows.

Pierre the Great Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Saku will try to play in the playoffs no matter what they've got those pain shots to ease the pain. I still don't think they'll need him for the first round though. the negative posts on kovalev last year how he didn't seem like he was trying and such. Grew tired of the negativity, so i stopped posting on the habs forum board in hw. The guy was playing fine he just had bad breaks. I remember the blues game I was 10 rows from the ice. He won that game basically. Things were just clicking. This year, the whole year he's been clicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserved most of the criticism sent his way; he was much worse last year than Koivu was this year. This year, he deserves almost all of the praise sent his way.
