BTH Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 on paper? TSN does the "on paper stuff" and they've never had the Habs anywhere near playoff contention. So you could say the team is playing above their "on paper" ability therefore overachieving which would make the last two season's of mid to end of season collapses, have a little bit of merit. That's because other than Pierre MacGuire and Bob MacKenzie, the other guys on TV also don't know the Habs' players either. They see Tomas Plekanec and think floater. They see Andrei Kostitsyn and think he's some random lazy soft Russian. They see Kovalev and think underachieving, lazy and soft Russian. They don't know our players, some pro analysts don't even really know who Markov is, consider him a second pairing defenceman and think he's vastly overpaid. They simply don't know the true abilities of players aside from the Leafs. Same way that I couldn't give you a detailed analysis of every player on a roster other than Montreal's.

Tony Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Seeing how many NHL teams are looking for offense, I wouldn't be surprised if someone claimed him on the waiver re-entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athlétique.Canadien Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I guess he blamed the coaching staff...He should. Gainey, Carbonneau, Bill Wirtz and Denis Savard are all CRAZY and Sammy is suppose to be the "go to guy".

Habsfan84 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Samsonov has been placed on waivers by the Blackhawks. Not a surprise by me. I'm sure that nobody is stupid enough to pick him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOPAVILLIN Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 "The Blackhawks have placed Sergei Samsonov on waivers. - TSN" With some people whining about Montreal getting rid of Ribiero, its refreshing in a way to see someone play poorly in Montreal, get traded and still play poorly. I hope I see some Bob Gainey praise threads now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I see some Bob Gainey praise threads now. Trading for Samsonov was a half-decent move at the time -- no one could have foreseen the absolute terrible player Samsonov turned out to be. On a related note, this thread belongs in NHL talk, not Habs talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fromage Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) Why he is the one who signed him. He got lucky in getting rid of him. he came off a 70 point season, stanley cup finalist season. and i thought playing with kovalev he could score like 30 goals. i was very disappointed with his play Edited December 31, 2007 by fromage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came off a 53pt season. But yes, it still seemed like he could produce at a top-six level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAKS-AVENUE Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I guess Sammy has cleared re-entry waivers which means twice in the past two seasons he's come up and down and nobody took him. Good on the bum. After all the B.S he said to the media and crap he started with his mouth in the dressing room I hope the little troll faced bag of crap rots in the Chicago's pressbox.

sbhatt Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 He should just take the rest of the year off from playing hockey, train his fat ass off to get back into shape, then try to resurrect his career in Russia next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
