zumpano21 Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Simply an attempt to shed some more positive light on our Habs team. Specifically, I think Mike has gone beyond expectations and really delivered for the team this year. Needless to say, it's a pleasure to watch him bring to the team what recently departed players couldn't. Hope the leg isn't hurting too badly. Kudos Mike! Quote
dark_faerie87 Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 TNX MIKEY LOL Oh god, that sounds so twinky! Quote
lazy26 Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 He has definitely surprised me this year... Let's hope he's alright, and keeps contributing. Quote
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 It shouldn't be a surprise. The guy is a proven NHLer and was one of Phoenix's best forwards, game in and game out last year, by most accounts. And - unlike what would have happened five years ago - we've given him a role that is perfectly suited to his talents, thus setting him up for success. The surprise is that we got a player of that quality for basically nothing. Quote
habs_in_the_blood Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Yes i think i was as bummed as when higgins got injured...this guy brings energy and seems to be having fun playing with the habs...he as great work ethics and never as a day off...hope he is not injured cause he will be hard to replace!

MAK Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 kudos to jonhson !! he's the guy(out of the UFAs) I hope we keep Quote
Athlétique.Canadien Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Richard and Jan who? Johnson is the type of blood and guts player every team needs. I appreciate him so I recreated him in my NHL game with way better stats What doesn't he do? That's the question and it's the one I enjoy asking more than what does he do? What doesn't he do? Score a truckload, but that's not his role. His goals are very "timely", like against Toronto in game 1. We won in the shootout. Thank you Abby. But, more importantly - THANK YOU JOHNSON Quote
BCHabnut Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 I agree. Johnson is playing very well. He seems to have gotten Bonk going too. Quote
The-Habby2919 Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 THANKS MIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hehe... I like the guy and like even more that we got him for so cheap. :hlogo: Quote
BTH Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Didn't really exceed my expectations but he has been amazing for us. Great move by Gainey to get this guy for a 4th. I have a feeling he'll be here for a few more years. Quote
markierung Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 I don't understand why they traded him for a 4th rounder. He's obviously worth a lot more Quote
habs_in_the_blood Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 I don't understand why they traded him for a 4th rounder. He's obviously worth a lot more its simple...its cause gainey had gretzky's kids in his basement....no...with all seriousness...nothing negative came out of Mike's Mri...nothing broken he's good to go! ( on our ice...not another team) Quote
JMMR Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Habs need to sign this guy to a three year extension in January. Quote
huzer Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Habs need to sign this guy to a three year extension in January. Well, maybe a 2 year deal, he is currently 32. He's been great so far this year for his role on the team. I figured he'd be a great 3rd line addition to the team. I think Johnson, with the addition of a now healthy Bonk, the Habs have quite the formidable third line. Much better than years past with Juneau. Quote
Chris Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Yes, Mike is a great addition to the third line and should be resigned to a 2 year deal. The other question is what to do with Bonk, he is doing a great job at the thrd line center job. He is also a big center. Will Chipchura be ready to fill that role, who knows. Quote
Athlétique.Canadien Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 You think Gretzky is regretting his loss? Quote
