• Comment on NHL trade deadline: Q & A
  Are you for real man? When they gave out brains, you thought they said trains and you hopped aboard. Why on earth would you trade Kovalev? True, he just turned 35 today, but he is playing better now than he did at 30. He is the de facto captain of the team and, if Koivu leaves, he will be the real captain. He now has the respect of his teammates, the press and the fans and, with this adulation that he needs, we won't have to worry about him becoming a floater. Finally, at 4.5 million per year, he is a bargain by today's inflated salary standards.
• Comment on Gainey's No. 23 joins immortals tonight
  What a great player, a great G.M. and a great man!! I will never forget, in a playoff series in the late 1970's, with two dislocated shoulders, he played like a man possessed and was instrumental in bringing us yet another cup. We couldn't have a better man leading the way now and he richly deserves the honour about to be bestowed on him on Saturday.
• Comment on Game 61: Habs win on miraculous comeback
  Scotty90, Wonderful idea. Count me in please - I'm in Montreal. When you have some news/details on this or need some help in getting it organized, let me know through Habs I/O. Thanks.
• Comment on Forsberg (loosely translated from Swedish): Include me out
  Don't go after Havlat - no way. He is brittle, always hurt and misses so many games that one might refer to him as a "cancelled Czech."
• Comment on Forsberg (loosely translated from Swedish): Include me out
  Then you'd be "scoring" more than he is !!
• Comment on Ask me about us
  Bad call, Likehoy. Your season 1 (12 games) was far too short to pass judgment and he was excellent in the playoffs that year. In season 3 (last year) he played for a rookie coach who mistreated him and, he played hurt all year, yet never used it as an excuse for his lack of production. He is the perfect player/leader to complement our team's youth over the next few seasons.

  Agree 100%. After this season, Gainey should tear up Kovalev's contract (one year left) and give him a new one for four years. That way, he'll be with us for three years beyond the length of his current deal. He is a Hab now, wears the CH proudly and should also be wearing the "C." Can't take the "C" away from Koivu, of course, but what about a co-captain arrangement for as long as Koivu is here?
