Guest habs_fan1160 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I'm one of his fans. What I meant was, for him, it won't make too much difference between being 7th all-time in points or 4th. And as far as his fans go, he's 7th all-time now, and I doubt he will gain zillions more fans just because he moves up a notch or two in Habs all-time stats, or lose them if he doesn't. But, if he should happen to win the Cup, those are the things that matter and the memories that last. Imagine the stories the '93 Cup team gets to live with the rest of their lives.....the ten straight overtime victories......beating Gretzky in his last Stanley Cup appearance......etc. That sure tops "hey, I'm fifth all-time point-getter for the Canadiens during that span of fourteen years where we only went to the playoffs a few times and always got knocked out early." Lol, true. But the same thing could be said about Sundin, he'll never win a cup with the Leafs (safe to say), he'll always be remembered. Sure Sundin is a better all around player than Koivu, he has more points etc., etc., but like how Sundin will always be remembered with the Leafs, Koivu will be with the Habs. Now it would make it so much sweeter if he could hoist the cup with the Habs, but as of lately, I really don't see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Habsfan_11 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 http://www.habsinsideout.com/2007/10/game_...s_buffalo_sa_1/ Saku has the flu !!!! This is so haggard. Kovy was sick a couple games ago and now koivu has the flu. I hope it doesn't affect his play too much, if he's even in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope anyone who has the flu just stays entirely away this time. We have enough depth to replace people on the line. After last seen i don't want to see us tumble before we've even got going....

fourtrax Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Vomit our way to a Stanley Cup !!! That should be our tagline during the centennial season! I am expecting Saku to raise his game tonight precisely because he's sick. This guy will do whatever it takes when the chips are down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vegasrick Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 To stay on topic, Saku must have had it rough tonite. No points, no shots, and that bad defensive play that set up the Sabres' second goal. But hey, if it took that for Buffalo just to get two goals against us, we must have outplayed them better than I thought. Get well Saku! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jesus Price Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 another 2 points for King Koivu.. 2 ginos 6 apples, +3, 60% on faceoffs..all is well for our finnish hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourtrax Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Through 8 games, Saku has 2 goals, 6 assists for 8 points (PPG) and a +3 rating, despite the fact that one of his wingers is unable to score and the other one is a young player who's only recently started to find his scoring groove. This is not a slag of either Ryder or Higgins, but imagine for a moment: Kovalev instead of Ryder, Kovalchuk instead of Higgins. Imagine what Koivu could do with elite talent lining up beside him every faceoff. I am just continually astounded by Saku's ability to produce when we have never, in his entire time here, made any kind of effort to surround him with top-line talent.

All that people need to do to see what it would be like, is check out his stats for the olympics when he plays with Selanne, and needless to say, the stats are tournament leading material.
