[Mandala]

Who do you think is the happiest player to play in Montréal?

I remember comments by Jeff Petry and Ben Chiarot.

Any other I missed?

Probably the guy with 10.5 million reasons.

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Probably Paul Byron. But that's a bit of a weird question...

True I forgot about him. He mentioned many times his desire to stay here.

 

[Belial]

Romanov, he did an interview on a Youtube Russian channel and he was constantly praising the craziness of MTL fanbase.

Gotta keep that kid here Marc! He loves it here!

 

[Mandala]

Probably the guy with 10.5 million reasons.

He could also have been happy with the Kraken. He does not talk much apparently but to stay so many years in this passionate market he must be comfortable playing here.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Dale Weise

If we go with inactive players I would add Chris Nilan.

 

[Belial]

Dale Weise

He was not that happy while he was playing here but clearly enough to settle down here Big props to Mike T

 

[ZUKI]

who else than Kovalev ?

 

[Hins77]

I would say everbody on that team? According to la poche bleu, Montreal is maybe one of the toughest market, but as a player, if you are giving your 100%, everything gonna be forgiven and thats true. Every player who came here were saying that Montreal was one of their favorite place to play. Some people gonna prefer more quiet place but i don’t believe it when people are saying; Montreal doesnt attract players. In fact, We acquired many good players in the past, especially on UFA market but we just focusing on who didnt select montreal..

I know it's going to sound cheesy but guys like Bouillon and Bégin and Lapierre really seemed like playing for the Habs was the end game. They seemed to thrive here despite their limitations.

Reminds me Edmundson was also happy to come play here. I certainly was last year.

Lapierre said the same thing about Bergeron. Un qubecois fier...

I know that one of them was Stephane Quintal. I don't remember the specifics cause it was long ago......
But after he played for the Habs.
He didn't want to play ANYWHERE else.
If I remember correctly, he even went into a big depression after he left here.

Did you get drunk tonight? Way too much love...

Maybe Quintal had family or good friends here.

As long as they're happy being here I don't care!

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Toss up between Eric Staal & KK

 

[Licou]

The only thing is common that I have with a professional hockey player is the fact that I have been playing hockey since I was 5. So I can't really relate to their realities.

But if I try and picture myself being NHL caliber I can't see myself not wearing the CH... At worst, I wouldn't mind playing for Toronto or Boston, as weird as it sounds. Hockey for me is a passionate sport when I play it and it would just feel wrong to play it for a non rabid crazy crowd if I was at that highest level possible.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Jonathan Drouin, David Desharnais, Stéphane Richer and Patrice Brisebois

 

[JeffreyLFC]

I am guessing Caufield. He got a good first experience and he has become an instant success with the fans...

 

[HabsQC]

Michael Ryder in his second stint

When we were eliminated in 5, he packed his things and left without talking to any journalist.
