it is quite obvious isnt it? i have never seen so many scab fans have little to talk about , simply because they have NO IDEA if they got any better than last season, sure you can bring in one top scorer and 2 FORMER TOP scorers, along with a tall AGED D-man and a cpl other new faces, but will they Gel togehter?????? only time will tell...

Jean Perron's choices for Habs captain & alternates

Captain=Mike Cammalleri
Alternates=Andrei Markov & Brian Gionta

He did say that Markov isn't vocal/extrovert enough to get the 'C' right now. He also mentionned that he'll have to start playing better in the playoffs if he ever winds up getting the 'C'.

Perron added that it's well known that the selections will be made by coach Jacques Martin (and not the players). He did say that it's quite possible that the team won't name a captain until the season is already under way.

(Anyone watch "Le Banquier" last night? It was fantastic!!)

You guys make me laugh. Believe it or not, the shitty habs and the SUPERshitty Leafs are not the only two teams in the NHL. Instead of rooting for these two examples of long-ago glory (or maybe you don't think 42 freakin' years since your douchebag Leafs won anything is that long ago iggy), why don't you root for a REAL team like the Red Wings?

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Columbus Blue Jackets have traded a third-round pick in the 2010 draft to the Calgary Flames for defenseman Anton Stralman.

The 23-year-old Swede played 88 games the past two seasons for the Toronto Maple Leafs before being traded along with forward Colin Stuart to Calgary in July for center Wayne Primeau.

Stralman, a seventh-round pick in the 2005 draft by the Maple Leafs, has four goals and 18 assists in his two seasons in the NHL. He will be given a shot at playing on the Blue Jackets' league-worst power play. The Blue Jackets also cut nine players on Monday to pare their roster to 27 players in advance of Saturday's season opener at home against Minnesota.

Burke starting to look like a genius

Considering he was able to get a 2nd rounder for Stralman when he traded him to the Flames, his Kessel deal is starting to look even better now that the Flames were able to only get a 3rd rounder for him:

Flames trade Anton Stralman for 3rd round pick

Why you ask? because i'm a true "FAN" of my team and dont run and hide when they miss the playoffs, i dont run and hide when they lose three games in a row like some people around here, i support them when times are good, and when times are bad, and for once in the last several years, the Leafs are doing some very good things for the future and hopefully the present....... thats WHY ...... should of known you'd only like a team thats on top :rolleyes:

(ok this is where you step in and say your not a fan of the red wings either, grow a set and take a stand instead of being a wishy washy fan who only wants to slam Tor and Mtl)....... btw your wings are on the decline.... age and too many long term contracts are starting to dismantle the birds..... not gonna be the dominant team anymore, good team, Very, but i dont think the "Glory Days" of the last decade are in their immediate future...... it sure is gonna be an interesting season , that i think You and I can agree on , eh????

Hab-not ...... Sergei K Suspended, wants trade

Sergei Kostitsyn was demoted by the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday and now his days with the club may be over.

General manager Bob Gainey told reporters on Wednesday that Kostitsyn has been suspended for refusing to report to the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL and that he has asked for a trade.

Last season, the Belarussian native scored eight goals and added 15 assists for 23 points in 56 games.

According to the Montreal Gazette, there is speculation that Kostitsyn is looking at playing in the Russian-based Kontinental Hockey League.


This is NOT a good way to start the season for the Scabs,,,,,, Controversy from Day 1, not that i want Sergei on the Leafs but wouldnt it be funny if he ended up on a line and best friends with Grabo? ROFL!!!!!

Can't blame Sergei for wanting to be traded from that organization. They've been on his case since last season & using him as a scapegoat. Sure, he was no saint while in Mtl...who would be? But he wasn't alone.

I'd take him on my team (Leafs) anytime & make him play with his fellow countryman & good friend Mike Grabovski. :D

Come to Toronto, Sergei!

Who's the Habs' captain? Oh, that's right....they probably won't have one this season. :D

Fool #1,

Is that all you can muster, that Montreal hasn't named a captain? Pretty feeble (from the feeble minded).

Btw, who was Leafs captain for all of last season? Yeah, that's what I thought! :D

(ok this is where you step in and say your not a fan of the red wings either

Well iggy as usual you're wrong on all counts. I've always been a Wings fan, even in their struggling years. I've stated that several times in the past in the hockey threads here but I guess no one read them to you.

You see ig, the difference between the Wings and your Hogtown douchebags is that the Wings are a class organization with the best ownership and management in the NHL...not to mention a tradition that includes truly great former players such as Howe, Lindsay, Abel and Delvecchio (to name just a few).

And now? Well you can start with someone like Lidstrom, who is merely one of the greatest 3 or 4 defensemen in the history of the sport. You can continue with Datsyuk, one of the best 3 or 4 players in the world today, and then you can start thinking about Zetterberg and a dozen other current Wings.

But shit - wait a minute! I forgot all about the glorious history of the Leafs: Brian Spencer, John Kordic, Tie Domi, and the list goes on and on right up to Jiri Tlusty. Oh yeah and in terms of ownership, it's true the Wings have the best in Mike Illitch, but shit I forgot that the Leafs had Harold Ballard and the Ontario Teachers!

Goscabsgo, your such a lovable HOMER! :D

although i agree that a captain doesnt need to be named before the season, i do think the Leafs last year should be used as a measure of how NOT SO GOOD your scabs were..... i do believe the Leafs only had 12 points less than the Scabs who by all accounts were suppossed to have won the cup last season right? (the 100th season, a year of celebration, oups, im sorry, i mean another dissappointing season, my bad) :D ROFL!!!!...... and with something like 2 weeks before the end of the season the Scabs were only 6 points better than the Leafs :D

by Jan 2010, i would like to think H.A.B.S. will mean Having Another Bad Season for your minor league team that calls the Bell Centre home :p.....

True the Leafs havnt won a cup in 42 years, but it will make it that much sweeter when it happens, just ask red sox fans.... Toronto still has the Best fans in Hockey, bar none



Btw, who was Leafs captain for all of last season? Yeah, that's what I thought! :D
