    Nesquik's Blame Saku Thread

    in Habs & Hockey Talk

    Posted

    Probably one of the most ignorant posts I've ever read as a member on this board, and that's saying alot.

    Koivu isn't our first line centre, who is going to score every game, and be our saviour. He is what he is, a very solid second line centre who is good for 70 points if he plays around 80 games. GET OVER IT. He has leadership skills, and he goes hard, and that's why he wears the C. Not every captain can be Jean Beliveau, but Saku is extremely courageous on and off the ice and just because you want him to be a top 10 player in the NHL doesn't mean he has to be or is...as i said, he is what he is, a good second line centre with very good leadership skills and this team is lost without their captain.

    You don't wear the "C" because you score 100 points a season, it's way more about the personality and leadership qualities of the person over everything. It's not Saku's fault that he's thrown out there first line and everyone expects him to steal the show, Bob needs to find the true first line centre (Marleau) to take some pressure of Saku and that'll help.

    You probably haven't played on a hockey team before to realise what the true characteristics and values of the captain of the team really is.

    How many Habs fans do you think there are in Canada & in the World?

    hmm interesting...

    I am suprised there are so many habs fans in toronto? displaced montrealers?

    Yea I believe that helps with it, my mom grew up in montreal, but i have been born and raised as a habs fan from my dad mainly. he has no connections to montreal himself, but he just liked them growing up. i know a fair amount of habs fans in my school too, it's probably because our dads would root for them growing up when they won the cup like every year...and they just raised us this way

    The habs fans in the ACC all live in toronto/GTA mainly.

    Habs Mock Draft

    in Habs & Hockey Talk

    Posted

    One of the worst "mock drafts" out there right now. In fact it isn't even a mock draft.

    A Mock draft is supposed to be specific with the players selected in a certain draft position not a "we might pick" situation. Even then, he went completely off the board with most of the picks.

    Simon Hjalmarrson, Kevin Shattenkirk, and Billy Sweatt aren't even close to being first round picks by most scouting services; unless they are friends of the family somewhere.

    The only place this guy will ever see a draft podium is on T.V. (unless the Leafs are hiring)

    Be a little easier on the guy, everyone is going to have different opinions on who the habs should take.

    Very good news.

    "####" is a stupid nickname, he should be called something else. Once Samsonov is gone he can be "Serge"

    I agree as well, the nickname that i have been calling him (his bro actually, but same last name) is Stits. I prenounce it "Steets", but some people pronounce it the other way as well...whatever floats your boat.

    Spending money

    in Habs & Hockey Talk

    Posted

    first off i just want to say that this is a great thread, good call saskhab...your posts are very interesting and informative.

    all i can say is that i expect a very fast and youthful lineup this season, and i also expect that bob will spend the cash to improve this team...we have have too many years of "rebuilding" and we haven't gotten past the second round in the playoffs, and we even missed the playoffs this year.

    We have some sweet prospects, but we also need to blend them in with some well-spent money in the offseason.

    I miss it already

    The playoffs haven't even come to an end and I am already missing les Canadiens. I will have football to follow (CFL - go ticats and NFL - Go broncos) but theres nothing like hockey.

    Are you guys in the same boat as me? lol this part of the offseason is the worst...

    Funny - A buddy sent this to me

    Me and a few buds were havin some Eric Brewers. One thing led to another and we ended up also having some Jaromir Jagr Bombs. At this point I couldn’t see too Daniel Cleary but I noticed a broad out on the dance floor wearing a real short Guillaume Latendresse.She wanted to take me home to her house in Jason Pominville. This chick definitely had more Doug Weight than I did but I’m a sucker for Andrew Brunettes. I had too many Daniel Brieres to realize she was Rico Fata so I went home with her. She was pretty Ben Eager and went for my Evgeni Nabokov right away. She was Chris Osgood at handling my John Pohl and even played with my Joe Sakic. I waited for her to fall asleep and then I was Sergei Gonchar.the next morning I realized I had a Dan Boyle on my Kyle Wellwood everytime I took a piss there was a Patrick Sharp pain. Guess I should’ve worn a Tie Domi

    Who's your hoped-for 1st round picks for the Canadiens?

    Woah!! When did he say that...if its true, I change my vote! No punk kid is allowed to dis the Kaptain!

    No internet source, but I was at my good friend's cottage in Muskoka this past summer, and his sister was dating Akim at the time. He came up too, and we all hung out together...when my buddy told him I was a habs fan and I loved Koivu he told me he was shit. lol

    Don't have to believe the story if you don't want to, but I am not making this up.

    P.S - Maybe this isn't a big deal, maybe he was just razzing my or something, but it was clear he didn't like him lol

    I only brought this up because after his comments, seeing him in a habs uniform would personally be weird for me.

    Yeah, I read it as well. He wasn't really trashing Montreal but still. He was clearly implying that playing in San Jose was much much more fun than playing in Montreal. It sucks to hear that especially from a guy in contact with Marleau. :(

    Ya...all I was thinking was 'i hope no UFA's see this' lol

    Who's your hoped-for 1st round picks for the Canadiens?

    in Habs & Hockey Talk

    Now that we know that Montreal will pick 12th, who would you like them to pick at those positions? Or, do you have any suggestions as to how to improve the situation and, in such a scenario, who would you like to see pick ed then?

    If we stay 12th, I hope we still get to pick ANGELO ESPOSITO :D:D:D:D but, if not, I'm not sure yet... I'll have to think about it since I'm pretty focused on Esposito.

    As to some possible pick trades, here's what I would like to see:

    I hope that Montreal switches 1st picks w/ St. Louis and, as above, takes ANGELO ESPOSITO with the pick. I know that he's pegged as being inconsistent & lazy but he's got talent oozing out the pores. With the proper guidance, he could be a major boom or, agt worst, a minor bust (therefore average 2nd line) player. He's well worth the risk. The other part of that deal would be that Montreal would give St. Louis a second round pick (and/or a third rounder) as compensation.

    Now, with the San Jose pick (after they get bumped out in the 1st round :huh: ), I hope that Montreal picks AKIM ALIU :D:D . I know he's got some character issues but he'll grow up and he's a bigger tougher version of Steve Downie... Would be a great compliment to Latendresse.

    GO :hlogo: GO!

    I agree with your picks shortcat, although i do think it would be weird seeing Aliu in a habs uni after he said and i quote "Koivu's shit!!" This past summer lol
