Post-Game Talk: The Real Deal With Jordan Weal! - Habs win 3-1 vs WPG

[jj cale]

He should be. Like others have said, the era in which he scored his goals is certainly not the same as some of the other greats. Imagine what Ovie would have done in the 80's?

Whats so impressive to me about him above all is how healthy the guy has managed to stay, and we all know he doesn't play soft, I mean the guy has hardly missed any games to speak of.

I still don't think he is the greatest goal scorer of all time in terms of pure all round scoring goals ability though, that would still be Mario for me but all things considered career wise he's got a damn good case.

 

[JianYang]

That's an interesting question, you know bergy will be looking to keep him.

Keep Weal on a short term deal. If he fades next year, then that's okay.

As it stands, he's been what we were hoping for from Peca, and maybe even more.

Health equals consistency. Mario or even jagr had some amazing skill(kovy too) but ovie doesnt even have a lot of multiple goal scoring games. He just finds the net a lot, quietly. He isnt as flashy as mario could be, and both were big guys.

Skill wise he may not be the best, really that might even be richard, however there are ONLY butterfly goalies now. Even when mario played there was a lot of standup goalies. I loved that style( far more interesting) but easier to score on overall.

Jets 94 points 2nd in west playoff seeding


Habs 92 points ninth in east

West is weak this year

He has been a freak in that regard. He used to dish out some devastating hits and although he doesn't do that as often anymore he is still a physical threat any time he is on the ice. One of my favorite players in the league for a very long time. I was happy to see him finally win the cup last year. Not much said about him now on HNIC.

He's certainly earned my respect, the guy loves to play.

Finally shut up the nay sayers. Except maybe cherry.

If Ovie was Alex Smith from Kingston Ontario I am confident in saying that Don's impression of him would be much different.

 

[JianYang]

Shots were something like 40-20 habs, but I don't know if anyone really stuck out for the habs. Armia, and Domi were decent. Petry had a tidy game.

But I think I would give the player of the game to price, despite the long stretches of nothing. He was really clutch late in the 3rd period. Jets were way too close to tying it twice in the dying moments.

 

[Doc McKenna]

Imagine if we had a consistent 40 goal scorer, last one was richer before the dead puck era??

The Jets certainly didn't play a great game tonight.

If it was alex o' brian he would be a good irish lad, broth of awesome etc etc etc. Be like him kids. Could you imagine alex O'brian playing for the bruins? Dude could be a head hunter and celebrate goals like a jerk and still cherry would say nothing...or right thats pretty much marshand minus the irish last name.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Leafs need only ONE point in their last four games to clinch their 3rd spot in the division.

Leafs play Hurricanes Tuesday (in Toronto). Hurricanes also play Pens tomorrow (start 5 pm for some reason). That's 2 tough games for them. Carolina might be a team we can still catch.

The only thing I don't want is a 3 pt game in either of those 2 games. Someone needs to win in regulation.

 

[JianYang]

I wouldn't argue against it. He had his moments.

I really underrated his speed coming into this season, and more importantly, it doesn't look like the season has worn him down at all, despite playing a new, and difficult position.

These signals bode well for the habs going forward with Max.

If Alex O'Brien played for the habs he would be viewed in a similar fashion to Ovechkin that plays for the caps.

For those that are looking to grasp at anything, it's that the jackets and canes still have back to backs to play.

 

[Uncle Gary]

Kulak with more ice time than Weber

I am shocked at how good he has been over the past bit. I really didn't think he was even worth keeping.

 

[Zalos]

Honestly, I think the team to aim for is Carolina, not Columbus. Columbus is packed with talent, playing great, and finishing the season against the Rangers and the Senators.

Carolina's last 4 games: Pittsburgh, Toronto, New Jersey, Philadelphia. Pittsburgh and Toronto have both something to play for. All we can hope is that the Canes lose those two games and the Habs win out. That would mean Montreal (98 pts) and Carolina (97 pts).

Jackets play back to back this weekend but tomorrow it's freaking Buffalo, who suck. Columbus has the easiest schedule.

2 sets of back X backs is never easy
The rangers on Friday night will be a bitch
The sens will not be an easy out
The bruins are the bruins
Ok buffalo is horrible

Petry had an excellent game and Kulak was good.

Gallagher might be one if he ever plays with a playmaking centerman
