  3. Alexstream:

    As far as the coach is concerned... you cannot give me any argument if you do not live here... cause you totally do not know what you are talking about.. We are another planet... I don't know how to explain that.

    Ask Tony. Ask Andrew (koivu11 who doesn't put any punctuation in his page long sentences and who uses abreviations like no one else). Ask whoever else who wouldn't care about an English coach because they've been raised in English... and they'd tell you :

    an english coach in MTL is suicide from the ownership.

    unless he learns french in 5 days.

    Isn't this supposed to be a rumor thread? lol

    But seriously Alex was that necessary? ^_^ Am I really that bad? :P

    I am sort of in between with the whole coaching thing, and I understand where both sides are coming from but is this necessary, Carbo is BG's boy and will not be fired. The only way i see Carbo leaving is if he resigns (which is possible). Enough of the coaching debates this is a Rumor Thread!! :lol:

    Ps: Forgive me I am not too good with quoting :unsure:

  4. If koivu is the king of mediocrity then I think Kovalev is the Queen of pansy useless players that this team doesn't need. Sbhatt you still think Kovalev is going to be signed and not Koivu? You're going to be eating your words buddy because I don't think Gainey re-signs undersacheiving pre-madonnas...sorry buddy Your precious Kovalev is Gone!

  5. Here's the thing about Koivu from my perspective.

    First, he's returning from injury and necessarily his game won't be 100%.

    I don't think we should trade him or get rid of him, not at all. However, he is aging and his contract could potentially become an issue if the team isn't careful. I think he should be retained at a reasonable rate ($3M give or take per) and set out as the second line centre, no questions asked. Regardless of what some say, he's a battler, gives his all more often than virtually anyone, and is a playoff performer. When he's at his best is when the games mean the most.

    I do think, however, that we need to de-emphasize Koivu. By this I don't mean stripping the captaincy, however I do feel that he needs better support in the locker room. It's fine to lead by example. Yzerman led by example. Even if you don't dominate, as KoZed insists, you can still be an excellent leader. However what I do want is two assistants who do as KoZed feel is necessary. A Chelios to hammer some poor bastard or talk it up in the dressing room (take notes Komi) and another forward with huge character. I want to make sure Koivu is the second line centre and does not have the expectation of carrying the team - which he still has in many respects. Is there a centre better than him on the club? No. Centre is a vital position, and with the significant improvement around the rest of the club, his skill-set and aging says he's probably not that first line guy Montreal needs anymore.

    What I really, really don't want is to show Koivu the complete lack of respect that some feel he deserves. Is he a throwback to the dark ages? Yes. Montreal failed him for so many years and he repaid them by taking lesser contracts, by playing with jokes of players, and by being above and beyond what any could have expected of him. Had he had a Kovalev and Tanguay when he was younger? I don't think we'd have had conversations of him not being a #1 guy back then. He deserves to be part of this Montreal revival. He's worked hard for it. Yes, this is, in the end, just a business, but sometimes loyalty is the best thing for business.

    I say keep him, help him to produce at his level without ridiculous expectation, and proocure a big, meaty centre to be the number one. My guess is that, when the pressure on him goes down to be the best guy on the team, his production and quality of play will rise. And then the team can ride his undenyable heart into the playoffs - when he outshines Joe Frikkin Thornton. Regularly.

    Well Said Collin :clap:

  6. Saku Koivu is a big part of the problem in Montreal, and you're just another deluded fanboy who cuts the overrated injury-and-slump prone SOB far too much slack. The reason people point out he's never won a damn thing is that he hasn't, it's a fact...and he couldn't lead flies to shit. I pray every night that he's not offered another contract after this season, and you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll be cracking open a bottle of champagne the day Saku Koivu is no longer a Montreal Canadien

    What happened when Koivu lost his freaking eye against Caronlina? We lost four straight. What happened when Koivu got surgury for his eye? He came back and had a career best in point...with one f*cking eye! Who had to be rushed back to the playoffs last year when we started losing to Boston? Koivu and he led the team in PLayoff points. What has Kovalev done for me lately? NOTHING! You might wanna delay that champagne celebration because Saku is the heart and soul of this team and its people like you that think because Kovalev is proven, you are blind when he plays bad. Mark my words Koivu will get an extention and retire in MTL, thank you very much!

  7. Kovalev has been by far one of the worst players this year. What people don't understand is that points don;t always reflect the players performance. Just because kovalev got a flukie assist yesterday doesn'y mean he deserved it. He is a coaster and the year he should be playing well because he is a UFA he isn't. Kovalev wishes he was half the player koivu is. Kovi has no heart and no passion, he just coasts and doesn't care as long as hes making money. And I know what some of you will say, "Koivu isn't playing well either" or "What has Koivu done in his career" Well look as his past teamates. I mean, Playing with Zednik and Bulis on the top line, how do you expect him to perform well. No wonder some euros are playing so soft on out team, its because they look up to kovalev. Ke doesn't hit, he coasts, he loses the puck all the time, he can't score anymore and when he does he's like "who cares", he has no passion, no heart and should be hit by an 18 wheeler.

    I am glad I am old enough to remember the glory years of winning and players caring about wins.

    My thoughts: If you have to rely on officials to win a game, the team sucks. Great teams win the 5 on 5 battles and finish scoring chances by hitting the net. There are three highly paid players that will be free agents I hope will never wear a Habs jersey again after this year. They do not earn their paycheque and just...............suck.......................

    If you're reffering to Kovalev i agree with you but if Koivu is one of those players that you're thinking of then you're absolutely wrong! Koivu is the heart and soul of the habs and without him habs are close to nothing (see playoffs vs Canes). And about the game...it was horrible kovalev sucks, lats sucks bad goals, hard to watch this team play like shit!! They beat Calgary and detroit but lose to Tampa and NYI WTF is that!! :angry:

  9. I attended this game, it was awesome except for some of the mistakes Price made. He was getting too comfortable out of his net and made a couple of rookie mistakes, His rebound control was horrible. Hamrlik had a sub-par game and surprisingly Dandenault had some jump. Habs need to get their rythm back because if they can only pull out a shootout win over CAR, then something needs to be done taking into account we had all of our top players playing. Good game overall, not alot of intensity but I got a good bang for my buck (300 for the pair) What puzzled me was why Eric Staal was first star??
