Guest NBHab Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I think he will be one of the most valuable players on this team within two years. He has speed, skill, desire. I can't wait to see him grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourtrax Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Agreed. He really stepped up his play in the latter half of last season. And his line was the most consistently dangerous unit in the playoffs. Smart, speedy, good hands and vision, defensively responsible, good faceoff man — you can never have enough players of this versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hoser Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Very creative and has that ability to make a play out of nothing, is a good skater and a passer and can shoot it well enough. If the kid had a little more size and strength he could turn into a 1st line center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourtrax Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Listed as left-winger? Surprising. They had him at centre for most if not all of last year as I recall. Toward the end, he was the pivot for Perezhogin and Zednik. And in the playoffs, he became a faceoff maniac — I don't know what his actual percentage was, but it seemed like every time I watched the puck drop, he'd win the draw.

sun1 Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I loved watching his line in the playoffs, so hopefully he can keep it up. After Koivu went down in the playoffs, his line took control and I think he was the main reason for it. He's a hard worker, good PKer and could do serious damage if he can play better wingers , which it looks like he's getting ( Johnson and Letendresse/Perezhogin, as opposed to Zednik) He's basically a good, hard working player, who consistantly shows up, and frankly, I think more of our players should start trying to do the same. I predict good things from him this season. The fact that he's making only like $450,000 helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest White Spy Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 WOW. This kid really completed the Kovy and Sammy line. Geez...great performance!!! I'm very happy with this trade giving Pleks a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very happy with this trade giving Pleks a chance. man, too bad i coulnt watch the game, it sounded like those 3 were really clickin as a line. I also like Pleks, I thought he was one of the more reliable rookies last year, his work wasnt as apparent as higgins, but he was dependable night after night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest newton Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I always wished Pleks gets a chance to center the Russian rifles and whoa, seems like these guys are really clickin'. No need for Bonk on the 2nd, I guess. Go Tomas, go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hogtownhabsfan Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Playing with Kovy and Sams he should put up some very good numbers this year, to complement his steller all around play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourtrax Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Man, he's got to be happy playing between two fast, dangerous veterans like Kovalev and Samsonov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TORHABSFAN Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Man, he's got to be happy playing between two fast, dangerous veterans like Kovalev and Samsonov. I agree from what I heard tonight this line should be killer. I had my doubts if Pleks was ready to be a #2 centre and put up those kind of numbers right now.. Like I said I "HAD" doubts I can safely say I doubt anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thehuds Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I love how in the Ribs trade thread some people were po'd about RIbs being traded and now there's no one to centre the Russians. Then all of a sudden like a Pierre McGuire BAM! Plecs is the #2 and tears it up. Plecs won me over big time last year when I saw him live. Now it's time for him to take the next step and he brings a lot to the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimmy_ok Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I like his effort and style of playing I still have a little doubt to see him as #2 center but great to see they gave him a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Godfather Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I like how guy carbonneau was sayin "it's all about coaching, when you have guys like Kovalev and samsonov who rely on instinct, you got to find someone who adapts quicky to any situation"... that just goes to show we got a smart coach...smart management..and hopefullly a new consistent 2nd line centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BeginTheMan Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I thought all through last year that Plekanec could be our #2 center. I really hope that Carbo keeps Plek on the 2nd line. This guy is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
