Man, this no-hyperlink situation is really crampin my style… Anyway, a little low-down on what Engqvist brings to the team, for those who wanna know more: http://habsbros.blogspot.com/
Thank you, Saku, thank you.
But I still hope you lose tomorrow. <today>
Hats off to Captain Koivu whom i will never forget and who gave his all to this city and the team.I hope number 11 gets raised to the rafters one day because he was not just a great hab ,he was a great human being and in my mind is still a Montreal Canadien.Maybe one day when he has retired we will see him as a hab once again in a managing or coaching capacity.That’d be amazing!Cheers to Captain K for all the great memories!
Will RDS show Koivu stepping on the ice for the 1st time? I rarely get to watch games from the very beginning so excuse my dumb question lol

Hmmm…
I guess I never realized how much I wanted Saku to stay in Montreal. He has really “something” that is hard to put to words.
I Just hope the audience won’t boo to him.
BTW 5-3 win for the Habs. Saku 1+2.
http://media.turku.fi/kamera1.html
Finally we get to collectively say “thank-you”. Bless you and your family.
“To failing hands we’ve passed the torch.”
Wecome home Saku, your heart and leadership were tremendous while you were with the Habs and your courage to overcome cancer are and always be an inspiration to me as I fight my own battle with this disease.
Saku had better get a standing ovation and had better NOT get booed! He gave himself to this city and it wasn’t his choice not to return, the team went in a different direction. Saku is a classy man and let’s show him the respect he deserves!
Truly a class act and warrior. I have in my office right in front of me a Habs Koivu game worn jersey I see everyday and enjoy. I had the privilege of taking game action photos of him here in Europe when he played for Turku and the Finnish National team. What a great player and leader. Hope he gets two tonight but that we score seven like we did last night.
Thank you Saku for everything..wish there were more players around like you..joe sakic and stevie “y” were the last of the great ones..hard to replace those kind of players today..most of them don’t respect each other.

Kinda strange how AK27 gets a cheezy parade and than gets booed on his return. While SK11 gets gets nada on his departure and will get a hero’s welcome.
Man did we take him for granted! Never really appreciated what we had till it was gone!
“I kind of feel sorry for players who never got a chance to be a Montreal Canadien” – Cammalleri
Glad to see you’re waiting on the whole story to come out before making pronouncements on the guy’s moral fibre.
sorry to hear that..remember saku, you can do it to..all the best
They better give him a Standing O tonight. I wish he was still here. He deserved a lot more than what he got for all he did for the city and the organization as a whole
This guy deserves every min. of standing ovation. he gave it all here in montreal. he played with heart. I still choose koivu over gomez anytime.
Not surprised. Wasn’t Grabby accused of the same thing during the Couver Olympics? Must be a leafer thing…ex-Hab-turned-leafer thing, that is.
“toronto maple leaf all-star defenceman?” LMAO
Expect a 10 minute standing ovation when this guy enters the ice. Montreal will never forget Saku, not even the booing elite.
To clarify. Him = Koivu, yes?
I hope Saku gets a well deserved long standing ovation and cheered every time he touches the puck.
Gomez is not worthy of wearing #11! Please vote him FIRST STAR because that is what he is — on and off the ice.

I guess being dumped by the Habs and sentenced to being a Laff is a pain you can’t get over. Makes sense.

Saku Koivu = CLASS.
Koivu just exudes class. A true champion whose number 11 had better be in the rafters along with all of the other legends. A great player, but an even greater person.
He is truly missed. And I would trade him for our current number 11 in a heartbeat.
Good luck to you, man. Keep fighting.
Wow. Komiserik accused of punching a woman in the face in a night club? O’Byrne has nothing on this!
Imagine, Gainey wanted to make this guy Captain. If you’re still thinking that good guys like Bob Gainey don’t make mistakes, wake up! Everyone does. Though only very, very few people ever punch a woman in the face. Kind of a big mistake.

I will be at the game tonight and cheering for both Saku and the Habs. I have been looking forward to this game all year! I miss him so much. We lost a lot of heart, soul and talent. Good luck Saku, good to have you home!
anyone going to the game tomorrow bettter blow the roof off the bell center when he steps on the ice
I miss this guy so much…
I will most definitely be voting for Captain K as the first star of tonight’s game. I hope many of you do the same
You will always be a Canadien in my eyes, Saku
how dare he not win us the cup… we surrounded him with bashkirov, petrov, poulin, tucker, traverse, zalapski, ward, zholtok, lindh, mc cleary, stock, odjick, bulis etc etc etc… point is, with the firepower he was with throughout the majority of his time as captain and he had the balls to not go all the way, lets all boo… lets not forget he only mastered 3 languages was too linguistically stupid to say anything beyond merci… i <3 gionta’s cue cards
Well stated.
there’s a lot of players on the Habs right now..he’d have no problem replacing
Omit Zholtok… Poor guy passed away…
Other than that, I like the sarcasm.
how about a long standing-o to remind him of the famous standing-o he experienced? no need for the 3 stars to cause even more embarrassment. love the guy, but thats misplaced appreciation. the standing-o option is better.
agreed, still
ill be at the game, ill let you know how it goes man
Looking forward to your report
If injuries hadn’t slowed him down… a tragedy his career was marred by ill health, but credit him for his perseverance, lesser man would not have been able to do as he did.
id die to get kanye west saying “french people dont like finns”
Man……… I look at Koivu, and I still see #11 C …. Damn.
Love the guy
Anyone know where I could get a Habs Koivu jersey?
you mean a game worn one?
I got an autographed Koivu stick (“Montreal”) for my kids room from NHL Auctions.com. It’s a pain to have to check back on the bidding, but… as for a jersey you just order them online with the name you wish and number, they’re expensive and take a few weeks.
As for “game worn”, that will probably be a charity auction thing or nhlauctions.com
When we met Koivu at a Ducks’ event some people brought Montreal stuff and he graciously signed it. I said thank you to him then and we will all say thank you to him tonight.
Hopefully everyone will have some closure now.
Hey guys, there’s a movement on facebook if you haven’t heard to make koivu tomorrow nights first star. Here is the link to the page. Hope you all join!
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=133112996751810&index=1
The torch be yours to hold it high!
sure, if he has that kind of game.
felt bad typing it but i still have the canadiens magazine cover with him, zubrus and petrov on the cover
i mean no disrespect
Saku is my hero.
I hope the fans do the classy thing that they should… A nice “Saku! Saku!” chant followed by a standing O.
Definitely going to be rocking my old Koivu jersey today.

honest i had this feeling after seeing philly masacre sens yest, i thought oh man were gunna pound the sens 6 or 7 to 1. and man whatta game. if i could predict like that all the time. this gets the scoring juices flowing lets hope. saku was one of the best captains we ever had, im not saying that cause im a part finn myself. saku played 110 percent every every game, he was a gentlemen who gave to charity, even contributed to the finnish church on dr.penfield st. if the plans to vote saku as 1t star ill do it for sure.
