Habsterr Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hi This is my first post after having been a reader of the site for a couple of months. I have a concern about Koivu and am looking for any feedback. I noticed in the Flyer game, Koivu got banged up and even sat on once by those %R&%% Flyers. I then noticed he didn't play in nearly as many situations (5 on 5, PK, PP) as he has been, especially in the third period when we desperatley were trying to get back in it. He is, in my opinion, the Habs best player this year. But he has been injury prone so I am worried. Anyone else notice his absence and worried as well? :hlogo::/):ghg: [Edited on 2005/10/27 by Habsterr] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Koivu got killed in that game. The Flyers were crosschecking him, hitting from behind, all the nasty stuff. I hope he is not injured. He is easily the best player on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoHabs2002 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Kovelov's been doing that since the start of the season. If you look at him during the game, almost at least once per game he favors his wrist (I believe its the same one from the playoffs). He's taken a few practices off in the past month.

HaliHab Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hi, I'm not sure where all this is coming from really... There has been nothing written about these injuries. I remember Gord Miller saying Koivu went gingerly to the bench after a tough hit in Tuesdays game but I certainly remember him playing out the rest of the game with what seemed to be a normal shift. I didn't think the Koivu had a particularily hard time of it at all against the Flyers, he competed hard the entire game - maybe he got shaken up on a shift or two but no big deal. No wonder the Flyers were cuing in on him, every team does this, he's our best player! Kovalev has shown little signs of poor health himself. He has a pretty quick reaction to favor his wrists when he feels contact.... Anyway, I guess I just hope these are more rumors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komisarek the Cruncher Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 For Kovalev, its true that he has been missing some practices (not all) to heal some small injuries. I read it atleast twice this year in the newspaper. Doesn't matter, it doesn't show on the ice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habsterr Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 I am convinced after watching Koivu last night that he has a problem. He lacked his usual jump on most shifts and he was, for the most part, ineffective. Just hope it's not anything that will linger.
