Hour of Glory for Alexander Perezhogin

[ChemiseBleuHonnete]

Three years ago, he also predicted Ron Hainsey as being the Habs best defeneman.

Almost everyone covering the camp was predicting that too. I know why, it's really easy. I was at the camp and I saw everything. The coaching staff was very very very stupid at that time. All they did to test their defenseman was to put them in a situation where they had to skate backwards and not let the forward make the play. Hainsey is a very agile skater, so he looked very good with his 6 foot 3 reach. But when he's on game situations, he's got no brain in the defensive zone. He's very passive, not physical at all and very bad positionally. They didn't even tested him in those areas. Of course, we all saw that he was great. He was the best puck-mover too. All in all, Hainsey sucks in game situations but under those conditions, he was near perfect.

Perezhogin or Wellwood?

Funny how since Perezhogin was suspended, everyone started doubting him because of the affect the susupension could have on his progression, as soon as something is posted that states how well he's doing in the RSL, it dosen't mean anything anymore

I don't think this is exactly what is happening here.

It's very cool that he is doing well. The "hour of glory" thing was a bit much, though.

Perhaps "hour of glory" is how "15 minutes of fame" gets translated from French.

Actually, the "hour of glory" thing doesn't mean much at all since it is an expression used ad-nauseum in the French language. Therefore, it doesn't have the same importance and simply states that he had a great game worth talking about in the papers.

Exactly. But I guess we should have expected that some posters wouldn't have understood the proper meaning.

Maybe, I still feel like had the name been Alexander Semin instead of Perezhogin, the thread would have been better received, like another poster stated, the hating smells something fierce here, not all the posters obviously, but there are some who are obvious it's not even funny...
