BCHabnut Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 cube signs with nashville Good luck lil buddy. At $750,000 he's a great 6th D. Quote
BCHabnut Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 really guys? He doesn't deserve a reply or a spot on the Habs threads? Quote
BTH Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 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. Quote
JoeLassister Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 really guys? He doesn't deserve a reply or a spot on the Habs threads? 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. Quote
KoZed Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 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. 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. Quote
Sir_Boagalott Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 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. Quote
rafikz Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Damn, I wish we could keep him. Plays hard night in and night out. And he is not afraid to drop the gloves against bigger guys, mucho mucho respect Quote
ForumGhost Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 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...) Quote
lazy26 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 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! Quote
JoeLassister Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 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. Quote
