alexstream Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Higgins had the A at the start of the season. BOOM, he suddenly sucks. He gets injured... Komisarek inherits his A... BOOM, Komisarek struggles like he never has before. Koivu is absent, Kovalev gets the C... he's hot hot hot... K gets back, Kovalev gets his A back. BOOM... Kovalev falls asleep at the wheel. And last and foremost... Markov... yes he has lots of points... but he's never made as many turnovers as this season... and these ain't apple turnovers (pwah ha ha) What did he get this season? a A. What happened? BOOM he turned over the puck. Do we have the Mike Modano syndrome??? our leaders cannot handle the letter on their jersey!?

Psycing Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 One might argue that carrying the CH - especially on a centennial season such as this - is enough letter burdening to sink even the strongest of men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 At what point this season was Kovalev hot, hot, hot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 At what point this season was Kovalev hot, hot, hot? When he bumped into Paris Hilton at the All-Star game and showed her the stick he used to score his shoot-out goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 When he bumped into Paris Hilton at the All-Star game and showed her the stick he used to score his shoot-out goal. "Ew. Creepy old man." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 "Ew. Creepy old man." Nah, that's what she said when she ran into Gainey talking to the Lightning brass about Lecavalier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexstream Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 At what point this season was Kovalev hot, hot, hot? when he was captain, he didn't suck as much. I like how you never stick to the thread and just point that one little detail and show how smarter than everyone you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 when he was captain, he didn't suck as much. I like how you never stick to the thread and just point that one little detail and show how smarter than everyone you are. Your paranoia just never ends, does it? Even outside of HWL you think I'm out to get you. What kind of headspace are you in if you think that someone thinks s/he is better than you just because s/he disagrees with you? I neither agree nor disagree with the brunt of your post. There was one thing I disagreed with, so I replied to it. What would you rather me do, quote your entire post and say that I am neutral about all of it except for one part? Here goes: Possibly interesting topic. I don't know how to feel about it. I have no strong feelings either way. If forced to pick whether or not I agree or disagree, my gut is telling me maybe. I do, however, disagree about Kovalev being "hot, hot, hot" at any point this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I don't think it's the a or the C that is the problem QUITTERS are letters that are a problem Winners never quit, Quitters never WIN. I think we all know which category this team is in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Quoted from the main HW page: It has often been stated that Alexei Kovalev's performance while Saku Koivu was injured was an improvement over his play the rest of the season. During Koivu's absence, Kovalev tallied 11 points in 17 games, for a PPG average of 0.65. His season average? 0.70 PPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saskhab Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 and he displayed more effort. Eye of the beholder. We also won a lot right out of the gate in October, when both players were healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
