Not really a notable signing.

Funny fact: in the mid-game RDS poll, more fans said they would miss Bouillon than Koivu. (Kovalev led with 55%, Koivu was last with 5%). Strange poll.

really guys? He doesn't deserve a reply or a spot on the Habs threads? :angry:

Not really. Just like Carbonneau joining HNIC.

Good luck to Francis, always loved him. Players with this kind of heart and commitment to the game will always be my favorites.

Saw that poll. 4000 people answered. It's basically a popularity poll and Koivu just wasnt popular at all anymore. Cube always had a cult following just because he's a 5'8" guy who'd drop the gloves.

I will definitely miss feisty Cube, he was under rated by a lot of Habs fans. Cube was 1 of the better Habs dmen for getting the puck out of the crease area and get it away from danger. Cube always seemed to be there to stop errant pucks from sneaking in across the goal line at the last second. What Cube lacked in size and skill he had positioning in spades. I always had the impression that Cube just seemed to be really good at knowing where to stand and where to be and what to be looking out for.

Good luck Cube, you will be missed. :hockey:

I love him, but I can't really seem any roster spots open. I don't think I would swap any of our current guys for him and if injuries arise, I would like to see them go to Weber and O'Byrne (haven't given up on him yet...)

I'm in agreement with you. I always had a soft spot for the little guy who played much bigger than he was, and feared no one, but our D corps is better without him. I'll never forget the end-to-end rush he had against Pittsburgh a few years back... he made Crosby look silly.

Best of luck Cube!

Back to Nashville?

Yeah, he was claimed off waivers once by the Preds but didn't play there.

Good luck Francis. Will miss you. I will always remember the Tucker knockout and your fight against Colton Orr.
