He is clearly jealous that he never made that much money and is omitting the fact that players salaries are inflating all the time.

Kovalev is also showing why he wont be in the front office anytime soon due to his very shortsighted view of Subban's contract. Yes he is making a lot right now, but in the next few years others will be paid more than he is and Subban is still very young for a top tier defender and will hopefully only get better over time.

Markov will never take that responsability. 2-3 years from now Gallagher would make sense. And let's agree to disagree on Plekanec.
- Habsody

Why ?

He's captain of his national team.
Hard worker.
Respected in the room and management.
Buys into the coaches game plan.

Ok.. he doesn't score 100 points a year and ain't a "clutch" player, i'll give you that.

BTW, (frank) Kovalev.

Why ?

Just like your mom does.

Plekanec is a good soldier but he isn't a general. Personnellement, je le trouve trop soft pour être capitaine.

Kovalev is the Waterboy of ex NHL players.

Tu gosses en osti là.

Plekanec is a good soldier but he isn't a general. Personnellement, je le trouve trop soft pour être capitaine.
- Habsody

We don't need a general.. we need a captain.

Soft ?

So a captain needs to be hard ?

Kovalev is the Waterboy of ex NHL players.

This doesn't make any sense.

Congrats on being dumber than Stee


Stee should be around today to offer you your winning prize, an olive branch.

- Habsody

Well, we all know who the General is..

they will go with 3 assistants this year IMO
- Pea-Brain

I'd be ok with that too...

But if it's a player vote, they might just vote Gallagher right away...

From a friend, who heard it from Alain Vigneault...the hab players love Gallagher, and his opponents respect him.

Kovalev is.probably the only player with a bigger ego than Subban in NHL history. And he's pissed about how his carreer ended.

Well, we all know who the General is..
- pete26

General Lee ?



Markov

I'd be ok with that too...

Although probably too young... I'd have no problems with that.

We don't need a general.. we need a captain.

Soft ?

I believe that a captain has to be either your best player or your toughest warrior. You need someone that will back up his words, not a guy that will shy away from hits in the playoffs isnt it?

Gionta was neither

- Habsody

So what was Gionta ?

Or Gorges ( not captain but would've been the next )?

Gionta was neither
- Fredobbface

And he didn't speak French

Gionta was neither
- Fredobbface

Voila.

Yet, he bought into the system and made sure all the players went along.

Hard worker and smart guy.

Well, we all know who the General is..

It was an analogy Pete. Markov won't accept the C...

- Fredobbface

And yet they did let him walk away.

So Weise, Prust or Bournival should be Captain !

I deciphered your code!!!
