puck7x Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 And CJ and sportsnet said it was a "mild" seperation... I bet he comes back for next Thursdays home game vs Florida... If he comes back then, then its not that bad at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33_ Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 That would be a huge relief. Even though he hasn't been on the team long, losing him for an extended period would surely deflate the team's moral. They've got to be on a high with management showing a dedication to winning and being in a playoff spot. Hopefully everything will turn out all right.

puck7x Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 RDS interviewed Kovalev and Alex said that its more like a bruise then a seperation... more good news... This might not be all that bad guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habiman Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 See, this thing with Kovalev is not good at all....Separation to bruise to ????...Don't be pissed when I say this, but this is exactly the kind of stuff that this team cannot afford right now..... How is the injury report supposed to read..."mild bruise"...are you kidding me! Not trying to be overly harsh, but I've got concerns already...as in real estate, this time of year its all about three things... chemistry...chemistry..chemistry......

Habinator33 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 I hope he's not lying out of his ass just to get media or whatever off his back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HabFan Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Hi everyone. First of all ,it's nice to be on Habs ground again. I think nobody knows the truth about Kovy situation but Bob G and CJ. PO is coming soon and no NHL GM would reveal us a true situation about player's condition. Hope he'll be OK and help the Habs to get 3rd round as PB told last week. To speak honestly I don't beleive we can do that this year. Kovy is very skilled guy but toooo soft. Any Tucker or Domi would eliminate him in 1 sec. Habs need toughness,IMO. Thanks.

danyjay Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 im sure kovalev injury is fake and its just to avoid him a stupid real injury that will keep him out the playoff .. lets face it .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HabFan Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 well,I guess Kovy is hurt for sure.Everyone who watched the game would confirm that. The only question I have how long it's gonna last? It's not his fault to get injured,but it made this trade not so sweet as it seemed before. May be it's time to trade some Habs prospects or drafts for the guys who can really helps us to fight during the PO games? What about Shane Doan ot Tyler Nash? It would be nice to have the guys like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch_nl Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Sad, sad, sad... But let's hope for the best. You can't blame him for being hurt but as long Kovalev will be a habs during the playoffs I'm fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafs Suck Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 He's gonna miss 2 games No problem Habs have won 7 of it's last 9 without him :/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucker ain't much to talk about, just another habs cast off and Dummy is about as great as Tiger Williams. No class no talent morons. But hey, if you want to cheer for them go ahead. And by the way, why would Nash be available, he is a young player and far from free agency. But hey keep dreaming. :ghg: [Edited on 2004/3/6 by johnnyhasbeen] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafs Suck Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Thats why you pick up guys like Kovy, so when pecker heads like Tucker tries to act like a bad ass, Kovy goes to work on the PP and gets us some goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 this all sucks, but look at it this way - kovalev will ge more practice time with his new linemates before he has his real debut. Hopefully this means they will be more cohesive before important games test their chemistry. I know thats a bit of bull, but hey... here's to silver linings.

Natural Mystic Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Im not worried at all... 1 or 2 games... thats nothing. And yeah, when he gets back, it will be like his debut all over again! haha this is nothing to worry about... imo :ghg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#33 Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 There is no rush for his return. The Habs are pretty much in the playoffs, so let him get to 100%. We will be fine without him...Just wait 'till he gets back though :/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in ON,but I hate them from the bottom of my heart,but that's another story.All I'm trying to say that Habs need to add someone who can protect our leaders. Otherwise we can lose our top notch guns pretty soon. I think everybody here can remember what Laffs or Boston can do during the PO games and if we want to respond we have to have more guys like Begin.

johnnyhasbeen Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Didn't mean to insult you with the makebelieve fan comment, just checking. As for toughness, do you think Tucker could handle Langdon? Domi is a liability not a benifit in a playoff so I wouldn't worry about him. No, they haven't intimadated us yet this year and I wouldn't worry about them in the POs as they suck. Just ask Buffalo. Their fans talk about all their stars but really, who their is a real star, experianced free agents yes, big time players no. They won't go far. :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebecois Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I think everybody here can remember what Laffs or Boston can do during the PO games and if we want to respond we have to have more guys like Begin. I believe I'm remembering this correctly, but in the 2002 playoffs the Bruins came out hard and were trying to run us out of the rink, expecially at home. The hits were flying, but what happened is that they were so focused on hitting that we were able to create offensive chances due to them being out of position. And that Habs team probably had less of a physical presence than this season's team. We have guys like Begin and Ward who can rough it up and our D is pretty big on average (bouillon aside ) Guys like Koivu, Zednik, Kovalev, Bulis, Ryder and even Ribs won't allow themselves to be pushed around either. We still probably need a power forward type player, but i don't think it is as neccesary as it has been made out to be. In my opinion, its the size of the heart that matters more, just look at Kilger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
