Psycing

Recchi and Matthieu Garon

lol, we should start a discussion now on which rules are better... NFL 4 downs... or CFL 3 downs......... then we all realize that this topic is about baseball... lol... there you have it... lol

Cloutier will never win them a cup... unless their defence becomes invincible

lol... it would be disrepectful to remove the captaincy from a person who deserves it as well. Did you think Rejean Houle, and Mario Tremblay did a good job?... and... from what i recall... Koivu was assigned captaincy... BEFORE he had the ordeal with cancer. This shows there was something about this guy that made him well suited for it... He is a smaller player in the NHL, who plays the size of his heart, and that is huge. He never gives up on the ice, and is constantly looking for the good plays on the ice... and he is a game breaker. When you need someone to get the job done, you can be assured that when u put him on the ice, he is gonna be one to set it up. He is a playoff performer, we have seen him elevate his game in the playoffs. He fits the mold, as he can be very much compared to the habs team as a whole. It is a small team, who finds ways to succeed, and there is a ton of good outlook for the team. Maybe you think because this is quebec, we should have a french captain or something like the good old days.... well i'd hate to burst your bubble... but the majority of great french players are now goaltenders. Thank you Mr. Roy. I think everyone here, can find even more reasons why Koivu is a better captain than mr Damphousse.

Rivet never went to Paris... I really cannot see the team giving Briser the C... the fans would have a field trip... plus i dont kno how stable he is, It would probably either make him go krazy, or, turn him FINALLY into a great player that he should b with all that expericence. I forgot about Souray for some krazy reason, I think he would definitly make a great pick.

Hey, if you go to the following link on TSN.ca... you will find the Poll sumwhere in the middle of the page. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/main.asp The question reads as follows The vote currently stands at 50/50... which i find surprising.. I mean, Crosby, I think we all know, has a very successful NHL career ahead of him. Sure many of Gretzky's main records are "untouchable"... but, with 61... i think the kid is bound to break a couple... What are your thoughts?

7.5..... and i almost want to give him an 8... He has been there for the team through it all, and suprised just about everyone when... a team with Hasek and Joseph, he was starting... I think he is good enough to be a starter, but, not one of the best. He is however, the best backup in the league.. IMO... (besides matthieu garon) Craig Rivet?

Hmm... In my perfect world... Zednik would get it.... lol... but I don't think he would b best for the job... Brisebois definitly has a shot... lol, all his boo-birds would sure love that... umm Craig Rivet... He should definitly get it though... in my mind, he is the best guy for it left on the team.

Ok... I d0 not follow baseball completely, (and especially in the past) but going by what Fanpuck33 said about the team being dismantled after they were so close... then its no wonder we didn't do good afterwords. (The habs 1994, after they won the cup... we changed the team completely after... and... well, no cup since... ringing any bells?) anywayz, The CFL is a lot better than you make it out to sound. If you watch some more games, maybe you'll see these guyz got a lot more skill than you think. And wow, they actually have enough teams to have their own league in canada.... I don't everrrr see that happening in canada... (in sense of a Major league)... And its not like the Expos or Jays are all canadian players...

So what would you prescribe he did?... Sit around, listen to his team gettin bashed on the radio?... I think calling in, and making himself heard, in the defence for his team... was pretty noble. Thats the kinda person you want on your team... He stood up for them... even if they do have some terrible luck and such... Maybe their team does have some clowns on board... (Cloutier)... but in my book... Ed Jovanoski is certainly not one of them.

OKKKK, get Captaincy from Koivu... sure... lol i think we all know thats never going to happen.... Think about it... when Koivu was gone with cancer, the team did not even assign someone to take the C in his place, instead they displayed his sweater in the locker room, and we went with only assistants..... NO ONE is going to take that C away from him, unless he decides he wants to play for another team, or gets traded for some KRAZY reason... lol

oh dear, My post wasnt supposed to be taken seriously... lol... I used to be a huge baseball fan, even played for 5 years when i was younger. What it comes down 2, is that, ppl in montreal are used to the fast pace hockey games. You, and everyone else, I am very sure is well aware at how alive the whole city becomes when the habs do good. You don't get this is baseball. Sure it is not completely boring, as there are some great plays, and, a whole lot to watch when u kno the game. But, when u get a whole community, a whole City, used to, and loving one thing... such as hockey... Baseball suddenly isnt as thrilling. BTW... ppl are not as close minded as you may think... look at how much fan base the Alouettes have. One argument is it could be due to their success in recent years. But it is much more exciting, like hockey. You have the contact, the fast plays, and all that. Canada has never been very big on its baseball. If you look around to most big city's... usually there is one sports team which most of the city loves. I believe another reason why The expos have not brought in much of a fan base... is because during the summer, the football season is on... and, with the Als doing so great, they get more attention. Then when winter rolls around, its time for hockey again. Anywayz, I wasn't completely serious about my previous statement, but, being this a Habs boards. I thought it would be slightly amusing. Start a petition... lol, keep the expos.. It would get a lot of signatures I'm sure, but, only a fraction of ppl who sign it would actually show up at the games, or watch from home.

I watched the whole game on tv... it was very good, first game I've seen all season. Most of our passes were great... and ohhh boy... all those hits... gotta luv it..... Anyone else think the Als can pull off a perfect season?

1) Boston.... Cry baby team 2) Leafs.... Apparently they are going to win the cup every year?! 3)Buffalo... Dirty team, for sum reason we never play good against them. 4)San Jose.... Maybe because i hate the colour of their jersey... 5)Colorado.... They're the ex-Nodiques.... what else can i say

Who watches Baseball anywayz?... lol... Its all about HOCKEY!!!... GO HABS... but still... its gonna be weird...no more Expos....

7... Savard has got to stay healthy. I'm sure he could make a real name for himself if he just stayed healthy for the whole season. Alexie Zhitnik

Koivu is, and alwayz will be, one of the NHL's best playmakers.... we need to get him someone who can put it in the net... Kovalev or Murray would be a perfect fit. When you've got a team with great playmakers, but no "great" scorers, you won't go as far. IMO. (Yet, we do have some younger tallent still developing, so maybe one or 2 of them will fill this void, but I think we need at least one veteran to help that out.

Lol... sign Alexie Zhitnik!!!! Malakov and Brisebois could go on "vacation" together if he came back.

Glad to see Hainsey under contract, Hopefully this will b the confidence builder he needs to get back on track, playing the way he can...

Wow... Mark Recchi, Brian Savage, Ken Dryden, Shutt, Matthieu Garon As for current.... Richard Zednik, Steve Begin, Michael Ryder, Craig Rivet, Sheldon Souray.

I think Montreal will be looking to someone of bigger size than Karia... having both Koivu & Karia on a line... sure it sounds wonderfull, but, probably easy knocked around... (not taking anything away from Koivu, he is very strong... but the big guyz can still handle them)

Exactly... if there's no NHL... I'll b happy to see all this work out...

I'll take anyone who will put up 50 goals, and 60 assists for the habs next year... ....Too bad it will never happen. Either way, if we can have 2 guyz who add up to that total, then, its the same, as long as everyone one the team... plays as that.... "A Team"... Anyone who will fill that, is well deserving a roster spot in the habs lineup.

Wow... 1) Demitra (he reminds me of andre aggasi... spelled wrong) 2) Murray (stronger than most ppl on the team, can put it in the net) 3) Zhitnik (wow, he knows wut he is doing, never liked him really cuz i not a buffalo fan but, i could see him in a habs jersey for sure)

What's BG waiting for?... For Kovalev to say either, He'll sign, or, I'm not interested AT ALL... this way he(BG) can move on, in one form or another.
