Pre-Game Talk: Who cares about the game? Saku !!!!!!!!

[InglewoodJack]

Jason Smith I believe.

Yeah, I checked it out after I posted. Forgot that it took so long to make Smyth their captain.

 

[Habsawce]

Fair enough... Name the research centre after him, or better yet the whole hospital, why the hell not?

lol that seems a little excessive. He did do a lot for the city, but he is a hockey player and not Warren Buffet.

Wards are usually named after rich ****s who don't have the balls to make anonymous donations, but who are looking for naming rights in exchange for their cash.

Obviously, would be different if the initiative came from the institution itself.

Better way to do it, in my view, is to coordinate something with the City of Montreal.

That is true, or they're named after families with history of being wealthy.

anything as long as it keeps the jersey retirement discussion away

He's coming out of retirement to play one final game for the Habs!

He's joking. They have retiring his number and trading Gallagher for ever thinking it was ok to wear 11 though.

Saku, the 1st line center who would have been 2nd line anywhere else.

But he still had a decent career!

We should have surrounded him better but in no way was he a second line center.

Gally:
"He was a very good person as well and he definitely represented the Canadiens organization as well as anyone before him. On a night when Saku Koivu is being honored, I'm going to try to represent the number 11 as best as I can."

Way to go buddy

Would you want a cancer ward named after you? I'm sure they can find something better.

They don't give cancer there, they treat it...

 

[ChickenBurrito]

Saku Saku Saku Saku

 

[Habsawce]

Then name it after someone who was a dick. I don't want people treating cancer with respect and dignity like Saku treated people!

Yes, I know I'm being a wiener.

 

[Hope Of Glory]

Is this Lars Eller??

I was about to ask the same thing. It sure does look a lot like him, would be great if it indeed was Lars.

It is.

He was good enough to centre one of the best lines in the world internationally in his prime but was only a second line centre on other teams, right...

The problem in Montreal was his linemates not him, he made everyone he played with a goal scorer and never had a real ppg player to play with like he did internationally. Was a shame Montreal sucked during his prime....

 

[Tacos]

Oh crap you're right. What the hell, I'm so sick of Rogers. Sure, I have gamecentre but I'm tired of watching games on my computer and it's not the same hooking it up to the TV.

I miss the RDS loophole.

So do I

 

[CupInSIX]

Sorry but it's not Lars that's a photoshop over DD's head

Truly spoken like someone who never watched him play, or maybe you just don't understand hockey well. Either way both are reasonable excuses for such an ignorant comment.

 

[poetryinmotion]

Yes thank you for that.

I'm sure it would be a great honor for him on second thought.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

Most people including hockey "expert" said what that other guy said for the 13-14 years he spent in Montreal, you should enlighten us with your connaissance since you appear to know the objective truth, Mr. Condescending

I don't even care about that debate, i'm just sick of people being rude to increase the size of their ePenis

He still right though.

Koivu wass a first center, not a superstar 1st center but he was one.
