  1. Koivu has not played well at all lately. He has also gotten every opportunity on PP and 5-3 to get it going. I was not keen on his resigning at that price because I just don't see him being our number 1 center in the coming years if we are making a cup run. Would love him as a number 2 center, but not at that price.

    That said, stripping him C is not warrented. Cutting his ice time a bit might be, but pulling his C will kill this team's morale and accomplish nothing. Taking away his ice time or benching him for a period will send a message without being insulting to him.

    I do find it odd the indignation people have when Koivu gets critisized. When Rib was getting ripped earlier in the season he was called everything under the sun, blamed for all the team's woes, etc. That wasn't fair either.

    Still, if Koivu doesn't start earning his pay we won't make the playoffs. And he might not be the only problem, but he is the captain and he just signed the big contract to be the number one guy for the next several years. The responsibility goes with the rewards.....

  2. Sportsnet:

    "We will update you on the habs game all night, because clearly, Toronto has interest in how they do" (roughly quoted).

    What a crock of Bull. The score of the Habs game is of interest to viewers only as it relates to the Leaf's... I hope the leafs don't make the playoffs for the next ten years and those Leaf centric networks get hammered in the pocketbook....

    that goes for the CBC, TSN, and Sportsnet....
