Who was your last "guilty pleasure" Habs player ?

[Capitaine Subban*]

By "guilty pleasure" I mean a player that wasnt a stud like Damphousse,Roy or Koivu that give u high hope of greatness or underrated effective play.

Mine is Valeri Bure because he was a Bure, he torched the WHL even if he wasnt a first rounder. He was a skill forward in the middle of many scrubs in our dark era but didnt manage to produce enough to stay sadly .

Who is yours ?

I liked the hits that Douglas Murray delivered.

Oleg Petrov

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Perezhogin. Damn Carbo for the way he used him.

 

[hardcorehabs]

Souray and Kosto

 

[Vi Nc E x13x]

I had a list of players but now Im not sure if they would be what your asking for ... To clarify do you want players that most fans disliked but you saw them differently ?

 

[Account Terminated]

Tom Kostopoulos.

 

[Capitaine Subban*]

Perezhogin. Damn Carbo for the way he used him.

I feel the same about Perez, it is a shame we didnt give him a real chance to prove he was a legit top6 player.

Only non-stud player that u like despite him not being an obvious fan favorite.

Ryan White, Greg Stewart, Jan Bulis, Richard Zednik, I think I can keep going lol

 

[Kriss E]

Well Higgins and Komisarek were supposed to be stars and both fight for Captaincy. But I think everyone hoped A.Kostitsyn would live up to his pick.

Petr Svoboda #25

 

[Brainiac]

Honestly? PK Subban when he was tearing it up in the AHL. He was robbed of an NHL salary that year.

Yes, I'm a PK fanboy.

 

[Vi Nc E x13x]

I was going to say Zednik, AK & Emelin but I think it doesnt meet requirements so ...

- MAB (I loved that slapshot)

From back in the day? Duncan Milroy

Recently? Sekac, and bournival

Not so much did I expect greatness, but I thought they had the ability to be effective players.

Dale Weise.

It has to be Weise for a lot of people.

It's the clutchiness, it's the skullet, it's the big chin, it's the story about how he & Tortorella mother****ed one another...

What a package! That's a hockey player who's bringing that lunchbox to work every game because he's THIS close to be working at the Ford plant.

Also, Ryan White. Just a crazy ******* who could go from being a quiet prairie boy to I'LL ****ING KILL YOU within 30 seconds for reasons that weren't always obvious.

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Lapierre.

Love that guy, he could do no wrong.

It might have to do with how much I play like him when I do play sports - chippy, dirty, lots of trash talk, defensively minded and very little offensive flair.

 

[Ezpz]

Hamrlik. He's what media claimed Gorges was. Gorges was a scrub.

I actually liked Gomez as a player, especially his first year in Montreal. Obviously the way he played the next two seasons were inexcusable for the amount of money he was making and I was absolutely furious about what we gave up for him from day one. But he was a fun player to watch when he was on his game.

EDIT: Also Andrei Kostitsyn and Jan Bulis. Don't think either were generally all too popular amongst our fanbase but I had a soft spot for both.

Awww.... maybe he'll come to camp 20 pounds lighter and skate like Pavel Bure, who knows?

 

[68*]

Kostopoulos, AK (he can still score 20 in the NHL IMO), Sekac, Moen, Grabovski, Ribeiro

 

[SB164]

Honest answer? Sergei Kostitsyn. I still remember that OT goal he scored against the Caps once. Also his goal vs Boston in game 7 when the Habs defeated them 5-0. Good times.

 

[Naoned]

Kostitsyn and Perezhogin. So much skill wasted.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Hal Gill, was great in the 2010 run against the Pens and Caps and helped PK a lot in those early years
