Guest Banishing Blade Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Id love to see Kosti wearing the number 15 for the Habs this coming season. That would mean that our current number 15 is gone... lol, I didn't even think of that. That's actually a bright spot to this rainy day (plus I'm sick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1970 Habs Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I see this guy being better than his brother and would not be surprised if he is in a Habs uniform in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChriS_HigGinS#1 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I see this guy being better than his brother and would not be surprised if he is in a Habs uniform in 2 years. I'd actually guess sooner. If he has the defensive skill people are raving about then I'd guess he'll be called up this year (like Andrei) and he might be an everyday 2nd liner by February.

Guest overlords Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 You guys should go checkout that youtube video of him drilling steve downey. May not have been an entirely clean hit but a hit nonetheless, and i didn't think steve downey was a small guy. Finally a young prospect that is showing some talent AND grit early on.

Guest d80jcrant Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Is it too soon to put him in the line up?? I would love to see a good center between the two. Let them have their own line just like the Sedins. That would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gumper-73 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I see this guy being better than his brother and would not be surprised if he is in a Habs uniform in 2 years. Not a chance! Somebody(s) on the Kane-Gagner-Kostitsyn line is not as good as his stats. Time will tell but after seeing Sergie up close and personal several times this year (I live in London) I have mixed feelings. Grit is not in this kids vocabulary. His brother on the other hand has a harder shot and has come to understand the price that must be paid to score. They are both smart and intuitive players. I like Andrei's total skill package better. I'm not saying that Sergei won't develop but I'd be very surprised if he oudid his brother. On another note, does anyone know why the Kostitsyn brother's changed the spelling of their last name (used to Kotsitsyn)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourtrax Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Give Sergei time to develop. The grit part of his game will come as he gets more comfortable in North America. And I do look forward to a Kost-Grab-Kost line one day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheFly Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Oh man I was watching some Youtube clips. He is always and I mean always in the shooting lanes. Wow. He's always open, and some of the hits he gives are just bone crushing. I dont know, he looks very promising, might even outshine his brother.

Guest 1970 Habs Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I chuckled when I read that Sergei's stats this year were padded by Kane and Gagner. How many assists did he have this year (80+). With those assists you would have thought he played centre. As for grit this guy has played in North America for two years at the junior level. The coach in London was comfortable playing him in all situations during the year (sometimes leaving him on for double shifts). Enough said. He is farther ahead development wise than his brother was at the same age. I really think he has the potential to outshine his older brother. It will be interesting watching him in Hamilton this year. In my mind he is only a year from the NHL. Only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we'll get to see him play alongside his brother - O.T., 4 on 4, Kostitsyn and Kostitsyn, pass, pass, pass, deke, deke, pass, pass, GOAL!

Guest habfanforlife_85 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 This kid thinks he will make the big club this year. Quite frankly, I think he may deserve a shot too. Him and his brother are not much different in terms of skill level, and Sergei has had lots of time to develop and get used to the NA style of play with the London Knights. I think a fourth line of A.Kostitsyn - M.Grabovski - S.Kostitsyn would be awesome. Energy, speed, and scoring! This could be our kid line, just like Anaheim had Penner-Perry-Getzlaf.
