Speculation: The return of the General: would it make you watch the games more?

[Doc McKenna]

would like to see Markov return to get his 1000 and then become D coach after words. Most players were better after playing with him. Guys I need something to get me to watch. All your posts 'like' counts are lower because I don't even feel a need to come on HF for the next twp seasons. This team is unlikable in the extreme!

I can't remember a time when I didn't care about at least 3 players on this team. I don't care about any including price and galley anymore.

Maybe I'm biased as a fan of the general but I see nothing but good coming from a habs all time favorite coming back to get his 1000th game and potentially retire with his long teem organization.

With the bore of a season we had last year this would at least give us something to look forward to. This will also show the young kids what it means to be a true Habs great. Markov is also 10 games until his thousand which means some prospects may still be with the team to view the ceremony.

I also dont foresee a 40 year old even with markovs pedigree making that much of a drastic impact. Maybe he plays well for 10-20 games but even the markov of old started to slow down at the end of a season.

Those who think Markov wouldn't be good didn't watch the Gagarin Cup last year. Guy was the leader from the backend on a massive underdog in Ak Bars, and the best defenseman on the team. He looks the exact same as he did when he was with us.

Now if only we had a real good prospect for LD for Markov to help...Oh wait we needed a non centre winger more

Markov denies any rumour about a comeback with the Habs. Says he will honor his current contract.

Interesting angle. True that as grumpy as he is, Markov is likeable and has embraced the city like no other. He'd be a mild balm on a team that has lost so much excitement with Subban, Radulov and Galchenyuk having been gone.

I remember the circle of love moment with PK and thought....this guy is having fun and these are good times. They sure F*'ed that up pretty quick.
Good times:

I'm sorry, who's the non-center winger? You mean Cole Fonstad?
