Holy **** was that ridiculous.

Rumours that the cops were standing by to arrest players once their plane landed.

The 08-09 Habs season was such a gong show. Things started off well but following All Star weekend things just came crashing down in spectacular fashion.

The day Patrick Roy was traded no doubt. Komi took the money and ran thankfully we didn't resign him because he regressed hard.

As much as some of you hate the fact that the narcissistic Roy walked, the darkest day in the franchise's history was when Pollack walked and they handed the reins to Grundman.

Screw him! This guy is nothing without The General.

Don't really agree with the sentiment. He did play hard for the Habs and him leaving well is just a reflection of the business. But it is fitting that the 36 year old Markov is still playing at a high level while 32 year old Komisarek is done.

Picking Wickenheiser over Savard was pretty bad as well.

If someone pay me 500k to become leaf fan, i will ...

 

[DAChampion]

It's absurd that some of you think Komisarek should have taken less money to stay in Montreal.

 

[Stripper]

Yeah just know that the majority of sports fans are always ******** about athletes for infantile reasons.

Im sure NOBODY here would say know to be an athlete and sign a contract with the leafs or the bruins.

Exactly my point man. EVERYONE on these forums would sign with their teams "rivals" for a million dollars. Now they're blaming a guy that signed with the Leafs for 4.5 millions... I find it hillarious because if he had stayed with us ALL OF THEM would be hating on him so hard... Seriously, what is wrong with people lol.

I'm fairly sure we offered him a contract.

You cannot aspire to become the Habs captain one day and chose an arch rival the next because they offer a better offer.

My favourite Komisarek clip.

 

[cphabs]

Funny part? He sold out on Michigan as well, only to return. Good on Michigan for welcoming their prodigal son home.

Exactly!!! The guy actually did us a favor.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

his move to the leafs shortened his career. he would of made millions more if he would of stayed here. BAD business decision

But did it really?

Markov did get injured for 2-3 years and barely played right when Komisarek left. Komisarek wouldn't have had anyone to play with to make him look better than he is in Montreal either.

As for Komisarek, I never felt the "traitor" vibe, probably because I never saw him as an important part of the habs so when he left it didn't bother me at all. I was actually glad that we didn't have to use crazy cap space on him.
