Favourite/Hated Habs from 2000-2010

Pffft, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm obviously a Egller fan, **** that Eller guy

Reminds me of the EGG line (Galchenyuk - Eller - Gallagher), damn they were good together... then Therrien had to dismantle the line to try to get his poor little DD going, and we never saw them together again... piss poor management.

Honestly, I think I rooted for most players in 2007-2008/2008-2009 seasons. The former season was especially fun.

Kovalev

My wife and I always got a kick out of George Laraque too so I'd have to put him in there. She wasn't into hockey until she met me so the concept of this big guy who's only purpose is to fight people bewildered her. Then he scored his lone goal of the past two seasons and I remember watching it with her, we went mental, then he was let go the following the day I believe

Sheldon the cône orange Souray !!!

Yes he had an amazing year with 26 goals in 2006-2007 but god he was awful defensively.

I remember that year he was 3 times in the top 10 for the most amazing goals of 2006-2007 season : ...remember the spezza's goals and Brière's too


A proof that montrealers don't know their hockey...: At the end of that season Markov and him were UFA , there was a survey asking who Mtl should keep : 5000 answers.....: 2/3 said Souray....

We did mot make the playoffs in 2006-2007 loosing the last game vs Toronto...his value at the trade deadline was at the top ( we recieved Gorges and a first pick (MAX67) for Rivet.

Gainey chose to keep him and we lost le Cône orange for nothing on July first...

Souray became the most overpaid player in the league after that..

Yep against Dallas I believe. Was a pretty weird situation. I remember people hated Martin for not playing him and quoting Andre Roy about how JM was against goons.

Curious that with all the hatred levelled at Tomas Plekanec for his game in the playoff's etc. Seems odd that he's barely mentioned now that he's instrumental for Toronto against bitter rival Boston Bruins. As he always was as a Hab against the best centers in the league for his career. Some of the fans need to watch more hockey than the stat's line, every night methinks.

 

[Curtoph]

This is like saying the Rangers would have won a cup if they never drafted Hank

What is the logic here???

Don't feed the troll... Broken record with that one.

Garth Murray? Really? Only thing I remember is when he scored two goals against the Predators in a crazy game (same one I think were Forsberg fell on his ass in the shootout).

WTF why do I random such useless shit:

Will you do an interview for my Netflix documentary?

Peter Popovich was funny. Cant remember if it was before 2000, but there was this one time when Valeri Bure was having strong words to Eric Lindros's stomach, and Popo came behind Valeri and put a hand on his shoulder to remove him, like "hey kid, stop barking at a mountain"

It was priceless

I've loved most of the Canadiens players & actually hated very few.

Many of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I'll add Oleg Petrov & Sergei Zholtov to the names. They were fun to watch.

I absolutely hated David Aebischer. OMG was he bad!! Worst goalie ever. I was in constant distress watching him play.

Also didn't care much for Mariusz Czerkawski & Pierre Dagenais. Weak & useless.

All i remember from Aebischer was that he couldn't make a glove save to save his life.

Pierre Dagenais would get outskated by teens at the rink I used to play in my early 20's. We're about the same age.

I still don't want to sign him.

You score two goals in the playoffs and people so quickly forget the offensive black hole you've been for the entire year.
Also he played in nine playoff series with us and did not really a whole lot for us in most of them. I'll take my nine playoff and fourteen season sample size over the 23 game sample size in Toronto - with at least 17 of those games Plekanecs being an offensive black hole.

I was going to say, Spacek was just a pretty cool dude overall. Such a funny looking guy, loved watching those Habs videos just cuz of him and Gill.

Gill's answer at the end

 

[MarkovsKnee]

All i remember from Aebischer was that he couldn't make a glove save to save his life.

Glove, 5-hole & angles. The trifecta of awfulness even worse than Scrivens. He was only able to make saves with his legs, trapper & upper body. He had quick legs & ok movement side to side because of really long legs so he could make the odd great save.

Tried to play block style since he had good size, but he had no athleticism. Was always off his angles, couldn't protect the 5-hole. Everything went between his legs. Couldn't catch a puck to save his life. He'd try to knock it down then drop on it. He also had no idea how to use his goalie stick.

Worst NHL goalie I've ever seen. Fortunately it was only one year & we also had Cristobal Huet, who was good that year. Still, he played 32 games with us.

When Huet got injured, Carbo ignored Aebischer & Habs called up Halak who played his first NHL games. He won 10 straight at home, but couldn't win on the road. That was the year Habs missed the playoffs on the final day losing in Toronto 6-5.

Aebischer's days were numbered when the Canadiens decided to go with an untried rookie down the stretch instead of him. Next year he was in Europe.

My gawd I despised him! Lol

That's impressive.

Well not 2010..after. But Max Pacioretty. He's everything I hate in a player: soft, no emotion, and a bad teammate
