PMAC Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I was just thinking... poor Steve Begin, doomed to toil in obscurity for the Habs. Just think, if he were playing for the Maple Laughs, the screaming blue whinies, he'd be famous because Don Cherry would be cumming in his pants everytime that Steve was on the ice..." now that's old-time Canadian hockey!" Seriously though, SB was to quote Shortcat "a steal and a gift" for the Habs... and now he's even scoring goals. :king: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't garner near the attention as datsyuk or anybody else from one of the bigger market/media places. :eyes: Nevertheless, in his own 'back yard', he's a local hero, a fan favourite, one of the ones the French media often goes to for interviews after games, etc. He's suffering no obscurity in Montreal. There, he's one of the kings. :king: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 While I like Steve Begin, he's a great fourth line player with the potential to grab some minutes on the 3rd line, and is an absolute essential for a playoff bound team, I don't think you can mention him in the same sentence as Pavol Datsyuk, unless its to say the Begin has the assignment of shutting down datsyuk. THeres a reason the one guys makes $4 million and the other guy $680,000. Datsyuk scored highlight reel goals and will probably record a point a game. He should be more compared to Maltby or Draper.

simonus Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Begin is Begin, he is not to be compared! He is perfect just the way he is! Datsyuk, feh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habscout Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I believe that championship teams start with players like Begin. Nearly every Cup winning team I've ever seen has more than one player like Begin, and they are very important to helping their team attain the big prize.

redondo Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 So who scores more goals this year, Begin or Domi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Domi smells like ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
option+ Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Originally posted by redondoSo who scores more goals this year, Begin or Domi? Begin, because after Lindros gets concussion #48982478278 Domi won't have a centreman anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLP Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Begin! Man you gotta love guy! :ghg: :/) (I brought this up before but can someone make a Begin "smiley" for HW which we could use in posts? It should just be a happy face missing a few teeth, maybe wiith a Habs logo too, anyway you get the idea... we could use it anytime the team showed grit and heart -- which is exactly what Begin personifies for us!)

After the game last Saturday, on HNIC Cherry went out of his way to mention Begin and say how much he liked him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycing Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Begin played another awesome game last night... diving everywhere to try and make something happen... good stuff. That was surely Bob Gainey's biggest steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyRock70 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I love watching this guy. 110% effort every shift(just like old #23). Heart,determination,grit,speed,balls;you name it. This dude has everything you would ever want in a third or fourth line guy. :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaos Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hey, easy with the comparisons to Bob Gainey. That guy was credited by the Russians with being the best hockey player of alltime, is in the hall of fame and has won numerous Stanley Cups. While Begin is a hell of a hockey player and a nice piece of the playoff puzzle, he's certainly no Bob Gainey.

All I said was that Begin's effort and determination remind me of Gainey. There is only one Bob Gainey.:hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
