Go Habs Go

p.s....what the hell has Perezhogin ever done, exactly??
He was one of Russia's top players for the gold medal U-20 team.
He was one of the few 19 year olds to play for the Senior National team
He was one of the top rookie scorers in the AHL
He was one of the top scorers in the RSL last year
Now he's got 7 goals in 50 games with the Habs
It's been a disappointing season of sorts for him but hopefully he wil turn it around at some point.
As for Suglobov I don't see any trashing him.

I know Montreal fans are tired of hearing this, but that little puke Perzhogin shouldn't even be allowed to play hockey anymore. So the comparison for Perezhogin should always be him, and any other stick swinging idiot who has ever played the game. People have made such a big deal of what Bertuzzi and McSorly did, and virtually nothing has been said about this kid. What Jeff Kugel did wasn't even comparable, and because he was of lesser talant, he no longer plays. Perezhogin got his free pass, lets hope for Montreal fans, he doesn't waste it, because 15 pts in 55 games, is nothing to write home about. Steen Vs Perezhogin, Zherdev Vs. Perezhogin? Give me a break.
suglobov is 1/3rd of the Lokomotive overhyped/undervalued trio
Vorobiev - hyped, but now considered a bust. Will likely break out again and prove everyone wrong.
Grebeshkov - Hyped, then called a bust by LA fans. Change of scenery made him worth the hype again.
Suglobov - Hyped....then dismissed due to his age, and like the others, a change of scenery will allow him to break out now

I completely agree. What Perezhogin did was beyond what McSourley or Bertuzzi did. I have no respect for this punk.

I wouldn't call Perezhogin a "standout" at every level other then the NHL.
He's got 23 goals in 88 AHL games. That's not standout material.
Suglobov's got 25 goals in 55 AHL games this year alone and I might not even refer to him as a standout.
Perezhogin was a first round pick so people will give him the benefit of the doubt. But this comparison isn't far off I don't think.

Perezhogin hit the other guy with his stick because he tried to kill him first. I would have done the same thing...
As for his potential, i'd say he's overrated by most Canadiens fans. With that said, i'm a big Habs fan myself. I think that both Perezhogin and Kostitsyn won't have what it takes to become good nhl players. In the first case, Perezhogin is a unidimensional offensive player, who lacks top end talent. As for Kostitsyn, he's as the abilities (great shot, hands and speed), but he has absolutely no hockey sense...

Please, please, please can we stop with the stuff about the thing with Stafford? That was ages ago, and both players have put it behind them. Getting into that now will just ruin this thread, as it has so many others in the past.
As for the Perezhogin vs Steen debate, that just seems like an odd comparison to me. Perezhogin is more of a silky-smooth offensive player, while Steen is solid in both ends, isn't he? It would make more sense to compare him to plekanec or Higgins to me, while Perezhogin you could compare to Wellwood or Suglobov, I suppose. Personaly, I try to avoid comparing habs and leafs prospects, because that never ends in a hapy place.

I haven't seen Perezhogin play that much, but I have seen Suggy play for 3 years, and I am beginning to think a lot of you are starting to really overrate him. He doesn't really have first line potential, and the most I can see him at is a good second liner. He was my favorite player and he is very good, but he doesn't have great mental make up (he takes stupid penalties, holds onto the puck too long, stickhandles himself out the play, often floats around aimlessly, etc.) and he isn't good defensively. I'm not completely sold onto how his offensive success in the AHL will translate into the NHL, either.
Sounds an awful lot like Suglobov.
