Never forget that Alzner said that he was tired of losing so he signed here.

Alzner's winning comments were mistaken. He actually want to win the draft lottery on a new team

I never thought I would "like" certain posting from users but it brings laughter just reading some of the stuff certain posters would say to pump up Alzner. Kudos to CW and others just debating in good faith just pretty hilarious all around situation.

What is the logo supposed to be?

Looks like anal beads to me. Not that I know anything about them.

The prize signing of last years ufa's by MB!! His old team goes on to win the Cup.........is that addition by subtraction? lol @ MB

 

[NobleSix]

This guys really sucks.

 

[OldCraig71]

It was addition by subtraction for Washington, their gain is our loss that is unless you are Marc Bergevin and see good old Karl as the NA version of Zdeno Chara. Markov was too old and slow but welcome aboard Karl, you are everything we need.

Does the logo have anything to do with this?

I wish our pro scouts would actually just do their job and watch hockey games

That would be ruining half of the fun, the one where you need to guess

This post applies to so many here that label so many of us as Bergevin haters, do they even watch the games? They call themselves fans but I am willing to bet money that none of them have ever sat through watching this team like so many of us non-fans have. Most pro Bergevin habs fans do not watch the games, I have been here for almost every GDT for the last 10 years and I rarely if ever have seen any of the "defenders" here to actually comment on anything going on when it comes to in game action.

Your point of view will not be well tolerated around these here parts, you better change your tune or you’ll be ri out of this thread! You don't know more than people with years of experience of working in the NHL /s

did you steal that pic from this thread https://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/alzner-petrys-most-reliable-partner-ever.2388667/ lol

to quote the great waffle dave

Alzner, in many ways, has exceeded the expectations that I had set out for him.

another gem of a Alzner thread https://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/mtl-karl-alzner-5-years-4-625m-aav.2365563/

Those threads man..

Whether Alzner plays alongside Weber or Petry, expect their +/- to improve, Carey Price having a Big Three in front of him, should ease his load. Alzner's shot blocking prowess will become abundantly apparent, when witnessed by Habs fans that appreciate the finer aspects of the game!!!

We see it the same. I think we are going to be a very difficult team to score against and this is our best strategy. We have some solid guys on the back end for sure and we will not be overpowered no longer!
​

yeah Petry just had his worst +/- in his career
Alzner, big 3?

I didn't watch the games, I only read the GDTs

In the Leaf/Capitals series, I kept an eye on Alzner knowing he was going to be a UFA, and maybe a veteran, stout Dman would be what the Leafs or any team needed. I was unimpressed by his play. He couldn't seem to turn well and speed burned him.
And that was in a playoff series, which is intense but the players have a least one day of rest between games. Unless he was injured I came away the impression he was on downward spiral. Physically he wasn't going to keep up with the fast paced NHL in the future was my opinion back in April 2017.

 

[Peanut]

Looking back at all the threads, i've never seen the word "Solid" used on an NHL player as much as I did Alzner.

If I ever see "Solid" as a description for another NHL players im just gonna think he is as awful as Alzner now lol

His lack of speed puts him out of position so many times, he was literally on top of Price more times last season than every other D man combined, he literally looked like a pylon. The NHL game is too much for him but he got a fat contract, yuck.
