Y'Know PK Signed

Apparently PK Subban has the worst agent in hockey, and will be joining the Habs with a 2 year contract.  Year 1: 2 Million Year 2: 3.75 Million.  Are we all on our knees praising Bergevin yet?

This deal is amazing for the habs because when PK goes to re-sign in 2015 he is not likely going to get any more than 5-6 million a year (very similar to the Price contract).  Bergevin is a genius, at least for now.

This morning when players were asked about PK returning to the team, their answers seemed muddled and short. Apparently Markov ran around the dressing room setting things on fire in a rage, while killing a small child, but the Montreal media tends to blow things up.  

 We all know there has been issue with this guy in the dressing room, but is it really that bad?  If it is that bad, and he is poison to the team, then why did Bergevin bring him back at all?

The fans who don’t want PK on the team are clearly happy with the way the team is doing now.  We’re 3-1 and that means we rock.  Not exactly. We lost to the leafs, which needs no analysis.  We beat the worst team in hockey, Florida.  We beat the second worst team in hockey, Washington.  Not exactly a good measuring stick for team success.  Against the Devils we were two goal posts away from a .500 record.  Let’s be honest, this team is not okay, yet.

The addition of PK to the lineup this weekend will help.  This has always been a team that needs help on the back end.  To those who have been saying he is a poison in the room and that Bergevin should not have signed him need not worry.  Coach Therrien will straighten him out.  If this guy is causing issues internally I do not see any issues with Therrien sitting him out for a few games.  And maybe PK will sit for a few games back into this new contract, it’s hard to say for sure.

Bottom line is PK is back on our cap hit and its more of a good thing then bad.

We are fucked

As my friend AngryHabsFan eluded to already, yesterday was the end of the world as we know it for Sens fans. Matt Cooke's skate caught Karlsson in the Achilles tendon last night on a scuffle in the corner. First off don't even think that this was Matt Cooke being a dirty player and that he did this on purpose. It was just one of those freak plays that happen. No timeline has been given yet for Karlsson's return but I think its safe to say that he won't be back this season. Hopefully he can return from this injury and still be a great player. We already have Michalek playing on robotic knees so hopefully EK can get a hold of Milo's doctor. Speaking of Michalek he also disappeared before the game last night with a mysterious undisclosed injury. No word on what exactly is the extent of his injury yet. So without Spezza, Michalek, Karlsson and Jared Cowen I think its safe to say we are fucked and need to focus on shipping out Gonchar at the deadline and going

AHF NHL Playoff Bracket

With the March Madness NCAA Basketball tournament starting up tomorrow, people all over North America and abroad are filling out their brackets.  Even President Obama gets in on the action each year. Though my knowledge in sports lies pretty much in the world of hockey, I've been attempting brackets for the past six years.  This year my final four are: Kentucky, Syracuse, Missouri, and North Carolina. When it comes to the NHL nobody gets excited and fills out an NHL playoff bracket.  I am here to change that today. Since my creative juices are lacking in humour during this dismal time in Montreal, I thought I'd throw together an NHL bracket of my own based on the NHL Playoffs matches that would be happening if the season ended last night. Please feel free to rip me apart in the comment section. 1st Round  East: New York Rangers vs Washington Capitals Winner: New York Rangers in 5 Boston Bruins vs Ottawa Senators Winner: Boston Bruins in 5 Florida Panthers vs New J
