Hour of Glory for Alexander Perezhogin

[ChemiseBleuHonnete]

Keep in mind that the writer is most likely a fan of the Habs.

Not very objective or credible.

It was in lapresse this morning I think. He only said that Perezhogin was doing fine and he's developping nicely. Nothing more.

For me it was the last line that hurt the credibility of the article.

"Barring a major collapse, Alexander Perezhogin will be a member of one of the Habs top two lines in a year or two."

A major collapse... like a prospect not developing? He's basically guarenteeing a top 6 forward in a year or two... Perezhogin hasn't even played in the NHL!

What the hell are you talking about??? I never said I had zero faith in HF, first of all. Also, I never complained nor discussed about their rankings. Think about it, I've been reading HF for 5 years, or maybe 6?, doesn't that means I enjoy and respect it?

Anyway, who care, it's not like HF have any kind of a successfull track record.

You responded:

I've been reading HF since the 1999, and you're 100% right.

Coupe Stanley tried to completely discredit HF's list (and the exclusion of Perezhogin, what a surprise!) by making some unsubstantiated and flat out wrong remarks about their past lists. Any kind of successful track record... pretty much qualifies his statement as meaning that he thinks everything they have done has been proven wrong or otherwise a 'failure.' You agreed with him 100%. If that's the case it certainly doesn't sound like you enjoy and respect it.

True, although they're probably more objective than the 'Hab-hating' HF writers.

Simply stated, because what he did wasn't all that special. A very solid game, but nothing breathtaking.

I think a lot of this is also getting lost in translation. In English we would only use a phrase like this during the event of winning a championship or something really, really significant. In French, (if I remember correctly) phrases like this are used much more liberally than in English. I'm pretty sure my French teacher said something to that effect, although it was many years ago, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah.... basicly, someone might see the headline "hour of glory" and think it's something REALLY big, and someone else might not think much of it.. it's all subjective however most ppl here aren't too happy with this topic right now.. and getting pissy about it, which is in itself exagerrating.

ya they stink somethin fierce. I am use to it by now. A Hab fan wants to put an article up about a PROSPECT on the PROSPECTS board and all anyone can do is come in here and make stupid and sarcastic remarks.

I think what people don't understand is that this article was originally in French and I am sure the intent was not to glorify Perezhogin rather to say that he is playing well and had his best game of the season. But most see it's a Hab prospect and then they pounce.

 

[Levitate]

most people saw an "article" that sounded very sensationalist and they reacted to that. nothing to do with the habs in particular...spare us the poor martyred habs fans/prospects routine

Really? Shocker!

J & L are in the top-five in that category....but this thread isn't their hour of glory. No, not even close.

But, find a Hab topic and they're there like white on rice.

What most are missing here is that he scored 2 pts in a very big game to bring his totals to 12 in 18 in a very competitive environment where points are hard to come by. And which has become the NHL of Russia.

Whatever, though. Wellwood is king.

 

[Chaos]

Let's report every single prospects' hour of glory when it happens.

Jussi Jokinen scored a hat trick in the deciding game of the Karlaja Cup a few weeks back. Oh, and he scored a hat trick in an SM-Liiga game earlier this year. That gives him 2 hours of glory, woooo! Still needs 5 more to catch Malkin though

 

[TazzMetal]

Just to add to this Perezhogin supposed "glory hour" thread, Perezhogin recorded a goal and an assist tonight in Russia against the NHL Worldstars. A game which the Russians won 5-4.

You can't compare Alexander Perezhogin to Sidney Crosby.

And I don't hate the Habs, I think that's obvious if you read more than one of my posts.

 

[LesCanadiens]

This thread could have been a good one; Maybe along the lines of discussion of Alex's holding his own against some of the best players in the world. Instead, it has been hijacked by baiters and flamers and has degenerated into toilet humour, literally. Poor toilet humour at that.

Could someone please put this thread out if it's misery?

So Alex Steen could bust as well?

 

[sundaystar]

i am getting tired of this. Why can't you people discuss prospects and players.

 

[leafaholix*]

So Alex Steen could bust as well?

Yes, but chances aren't as good as Perezhogin busting. Same can be said about Higgins, the chances of him busting are less than the chances of Perezhogin busting.

 

[MontrealSF]

Yeah... of course. And I'm sure that Steen has less chances of busting than Higgins. Funny.

 

[leafaholix*]

In my opinion they're both sure-fire NHL'ers.

 

[MontrealSF]

I don't see how Perezhogin can't be a sure-fire NHL'er. A case could be made for Kastsitsyn, but I have no doubt Alex will make it.

 

[Kardi]

imo perezhogin = if not > steen

lol am i a leafs fan or a habs fan :lol

 

[Winston Wolf]

Kastsitsyn is like the antithesis of a sure-fire NHL prospect.

"unpossible" is a simpsons reference



god bless ralph wiggam

I know that.......that's why I brought in another great reference to misuse of the language.........from The Princess Bride.

 

[Levitate]

yeah i recognized it


this thread was doomed from the start because of how stupid the "article" sounded. if it was "man perezoghin played real well, got a goal and assist and was the first star last night" things would have gone along fine. instead it was a huge bit of fluff, it's just natural for people to swing back at that.

Sad thing is that article was written by the Habs best beat writer imo. Brunet is one of the only ones worth reading. People forget he's writting for the French media in Quebec, his job is to get people to read. People might not read, Perezhogin was ok today, or Perezhogin is swell in the RSL.

But that doesn't excuse the lame attacks or useless non hockey posts.

 

[AH]

LOL !!! Do you even know who Mattias Brunet is ? HE is the best Habs beat writer I have ever read in my life (and I have been following the team for close to 25 years). He is better than ANY of the HOFamer beat writers in Montreal like Red Fisher, Yvon Pedenault, Bertrand Raymond. The guy is a serious journalist who actually takes time to do his research. Rarely will you see an error in his reports. So he predicted Perez as a top six forward, SO WHAT ?!?! The guy also was one of the rare people who predicted Ryder as having an NHL career two years ago. Three years ago, he also predicted Ron Hainsey as being the Habs best defeneman. Right sometimes, wrong at others.

You should be the last person talking about credibility. That Steen comment was a classic example of that (about him being a sure fire NHLer) ... ROFTLMAO !!!
