Rumor: Habs scouting Ilya Mikheyev

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

I'd go all hipster on you and tell you that you're not doing it right if you don't play the game on the original console but an actual SNES might not be easy to find these days !

I played the original console and game for a decade...

... Hipsters can suck it

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

If he's a winger I have no doubt that the Habs are scouting him. Can't have too many of them, apparently.

Bergevin is just ahead of the curve... pretty soon you'll see, wingers will be the hottest commodity in the league.

Just wait and see

The most uninformed insider is spitting out Montreal rumors again? Awesome.

David Pagnotta is the most uniformed “insider” and it’s really not even close.

Friedman is no McKenzie or LeBrun but he has legitimate connections.

If by 'legitimate' you mean scouring message boards for gossip, then ok. You don't hop from being a hangaround at the Raptors, to the NHL and have a plethora of hockey connections. At least that dope Kypreos probably has connections to teams still, he played the game long enough. CBC made him an 'insider' out of the blue, he has no real connection to the game, neither does Dredger.

LeBrun has connection in the east, no doubt. Bobby Mack certainly has people talking in his ear. I mean, you may be correct, I just don't see it. He's too much of a dolt to have people bending his ear, unless its for spreading false info to drum up demand on a player.

This stuff about CJ and Russians is a baseless inside joke, right ?

I mean we lost Sergachev because MB wanted the dazzlingly skilled Quebecois LW, and so CJ had nothing to do with that.

We lost Markov and Rads because of MBs ego, so again CJ had nothing to do with that.

In terms of Emelin, I liked him but I know many didnt because he did make mistakes. Left unprotected.

As for Scherbak, we have not seen anything specific by CJ towards him that is an issue, have we ?

So this is an Urban Myth, or is this actually based on something ?

Don't know, but I suspect it might be because of this :

 

[cphabs]

Huh....I guess lefty is fine then !

Lmao! Well done!

 

[Paddyjack]

I've been hearing rain is actually pretty wet. I have a hard time believing it really.

After spending about 10 winters in Vancouver, I assure you, rain is fricking wet alright

That game was so freaking good. I remember recieving a huge map of the game. I spent a whole day trying to figure out glitches and eventually found a way to get the tempered sword early. That shit was awesome.

Get the SNES classic, it has A link to the past included.

Wow, didn't even know this existed. Been only looking at Battlefield and RPGs in recent years. Thanks for the heads up.

Not to mention all the Russians he had on his Bruin teams.....

 

[DangerDave]

Friedman in his 31 Thoughts wrote that Habs are interested in Mikheyev and Artyom Zub. Mikheyev is a RW (but shoots left) and Zub is a defensemen, shoots right, but don't know if he plays both sides. Mikheyev will turn 24 and Zub will turn 23, both of them in October.

Try em out! They sound promising and we have the opportunity to take a chance on these kind of guys for the next couple years. Never know when you'll find a gem.

 

[Phil Parent]

Don't know the player, still, now's the time to try. If it works, cool, if it doesn't, who cares?

 

[OldCraig71]

Laughed out loud looking at the stats of his team and seeing Desharnais the leader of PIM with 29 in 6 games.

Is Davey over there trying to grind his way back to the NHL?

I don't think anyone can actually imply or prove anything but to lose Radulov, Markov, Sergachev, Emelin, Galchenyuk , some of our best players in just over 2 years all being Russian is clearly just a fluke. It's not really the purge that it appears to be.

Well the thing is that MB would have to be part of it , and then why draft Romanov ?

It gives me hope for the future if you know what I mean. I seriously have always been a fan of Russian players can't help it. I felt great about Ovi winning the cup more than I ever did for Crosby but that might just be me.

No, not just you. I'm the same. My top 5 favorite players are all Russians (Markov, Bure, Kovalchuk, Kovalev, Kuznetsov).

 

[Belial]

ZUB!!!!! Me, my best friend and my best Leb friend have been calling each other Zub since I was 18......not the best name to have

Zub means penis in arabic.

Huh....I guess lefty is fine then !

Zub (зуб) means tooth in Russian though, so it's not that bad.

 

[OldCraig71]

I really like Ovechkin, easy going dude likes to party, hits like a truck and shoots a puck like it was released from the barrel of gun an every mans superstar who does not take it all too seriously. I really liked the Russian rocket, love Radulov and Tarasenko, Datsyuk andGeno Malkin and I cant forget Fedorov, a player that Bowman once played on D because he was so good.
Scotty Bowman: Sergei Fedorov ‘could have been an all-star defenseman’

Damn, forgot Datsyuk ! He's actually my favorite player ever . Big fan of Fedorov, Malkin and Ovechkin too.

 

[yianik]

I was happy for Ovie also. Guy is one of the greatest players, but that would have been diminished somewhat without a Cup. Great personality also, so yeah wanted him to score one.

Markov and Kovalev are 2 of my all time favourite Habs. Markov was just tremendous and so consistent over so many years, no brainer, And his demeanor... .shut up Markie
, loved him.

Kovalev was not here that long, and it's not like he had year after year of tremendous success, but the talent. This man was just a wizard with the puck and you could put him next to anybody. One of the most skilled players to wear a Habs uni. Was just shear joy watching such a talent in the tricolours. We have had 2 players in like 30 years who could make you jump out of your seat, him and PK.

I hacked it, very easy, and I have a ton of games for Nes, genesis and GBA. You can even play Neo-Geo apparently.

 

[jaffy27]

Zub means penis in arabic.

Well that’s it.....but it sounds so much cooler in Arabic

Geeze man.... you really suck at Zelda if you need to glitch it
