but at the end of his career if he wanted to go to a good team to try and lift the cup i would support it, but i doubt saku would leave.....he isnt selfish enough

But how often does that even work? Its just too dificult to tell whos gonna win a cup nowadays. Even this year, our team I'd say has as good a chance to win as anyone. So unless the team is truly awful, I can't see him leaving for this reason. Its just too hard to tell who is going to win the cup.

Yah but Ray did it when the Bruins were awful and had no chance of winning...The Habs have a chance to win it this year and for the next few with the makeup of the young talent so I dont see Saku doing something like that

Ya like I said, we have as good a chance as anyone else. In the playoffs anything can happen. And what about if Koivu left and then Montreal won the cup, how stupid would he feel? Unless he is nearing retirement with no cup, and Montreal is not a playoff team, I can't see him leaving. Any playoff team has a good shot at the cup.

I hope he never leaves this team and that we do win a stanley cup for him here.

If he does leave, and wins a stanley cup somewhere else, I will be damned happy that he has finally won.

I'd be happy for him and support him wherever he went.

I'm just really hoping he retires as a Hab, I'm not prepared to go through that much depression :/

In my opinion, Koivu would never do that. But if he do wins the Stanley Cup elsewhere, I'd be so happy for him because he deserves it so much. But I really doubt he'd ask to be traded to win the Stanley Cup with another team. I think for him it's Montreal, nothing else.

My:two:

This guy has made such an impact on the team. Just think back to the ovation he got when he walked on the ice the first time after leaving because of his cancer or the cheers heard when he was showed sitting in the habs locker room not long after his eye injury. He truly is a great captain that leads the team.

well the team was broke off by abeischer,

Meh, the team was bad overall. ..well second period mostly.

Anyway, not the best game by Koivu and our first line. Happy he's okay though:)

Koivu was a -4 tonight. That brings his total down to -3! Kovalev is now a -2!  

Not trying to brag or anything.. but remember how you folks were saying Kovalev is awful defensively and trying to prove it with the +- stat? Shows how much the +- stat is a joke!

I totally agree with u! +/- is the most over-rated stat in hockey for forwards...I mean Joe Thorton is a minus this season to. It means nothing...I mean did Saku's play cause any of those 4 goals when he was on the ice? Absolutely not! But he was still a -4...And say Ryder stole the puck from Oli in the dzone, went coast to coast and scored, Saku would get a +1 when he had nothing to do with the goal

But you do forget to see that Koivu is missing his "partner in defense". He's playing with a rookie right now, and Michael Ryder, who's only been getting particularily better in his own end as of this year. Guess it was just an off night though, usually Saku's alright.

Not to mention Aebischer was not particularily strong on the first two goals, but don't worry, I'm not using that excuse for the line's giveaways tonight :D

I invite those of you who think +/- stats don't mean anything to go have a look at those stats for the Sabres, Mighty Ducks, Red Wings and even Thrashers. The best 4 teams in the NHL right now.

You'll be hard pressed to find players in the - category there.

Also, look up the leaders in +/- league-wide and try and find me a member of a .500 team or lower in the top ten.

Exactly... its more a reflection of a team then a certain player thus proving the +- stat is completely useless.
