Is Tomas Plekanec In The Top Ten Habs Of All Time?

By -

The short answer, not yet.

 We interrupt the doom and gloom to announce that by the time he retires, Tomas Plekanec, the turtleneck himself, a lifer with the Montreal Canadiens, will squeak into the conversation of the greatest Habs to ever play the game.  

 Points wise, it's not impossible for Plekanec to surpass Saku Koivu, and squeak into the Top Ten in points all time with the Habs.  

 Whats really impressive is that Plekanec has never really been a top line guy for the Habs.  He's not a superstar, but somehow he's squeaked his way into this conversation.  He's a great two way player, and a key piece to the Habs organization over the last 15 years.  

 Like Markov, he's a quiet leader, and when he's gone it's going to really have an impact on the club.     

 Did I say I was stopping the doom and gloom?  For a guy that went in the 3rd round of the draft we've had a stud for many many years.

 Go Pleks Go.

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

Where did a decade go? I remember this game, and basically being on my knees throughout most of it.  When Laich scores the late goal in the 3rd I almost hurled, and then on top of that we take a penalty! The ride Halak gave us in 2010 will never be matched!  41 saves in a Game 7! No idea how Sportsnet isn't airing this one tonight!?  I'm surprised they aren't airing random 2016 Blue Jays baseball games instead. I don't need 80s and 90s game all week.  Mix in some modern classics like this!
