Guest QbGamer Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I think it just goes to show how important it is for this team to keep it's top players healthy. You lose a top three defenseman, a top three forward, or a goalie then you are in trouble. Hopefully the team can stay healthy. We've been very lucky, Huet was injured for a small amount of games 6-8? Hammer injured for 5. About it when it comes to key guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RussianRifle: AK-27 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Your talking about Souray right? Hes so bad on Defense at even strength I don't think he could be any worse player wing. Like I said all he has to do is get open and shoot. Souray playing D is like Bendan Shanahan playing D. No, I was talking about Hamrlik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourtrax Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 +2 tonight with 25:21 of ice time logged, even more than Markov (has that ever happened before this season?). A rock in his own end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CanadianMike Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 this guy really is a BIG piece of our puzzle this year. Keep it up Hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest QbGamer Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 He doesnt get enough credit. Best Defensive Defenseman on the team by far. The one play which i find totally awsome, is when hes going to retreive the puck from the boards, and he knows someone is skating hard at him, he just puts the brakes on and throws a hit into the guy running @ him. I saw it again tonight, Its a beautiful move i tell ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest habs_fan1160 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hammer's been solid for us this season. Despite the loss last night he played one hell of a game. He may not be as offensive as Souray was but he's a far better defenseman. Plus the team has been able to find ways to score so losing Souray now, seems like the best thing that's happened to us.

We dont need another Sourray, we have markov + streit, plenty of offensive defenseman, its nice to see a solid stay @ home D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigsby Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 yes it has, quite a few times too at the end of november, beginning of december too true. but no one has had more ice-time than markov before this season (not the two before this one in any case)... i'm so thankful he signed with us! i think our record without him says it all. (with bouillion playing his butt off, komisarek arguably the habs most improved player and gorges coming into his own we have quite the depth at d. how nice is that?!)

Guest QbGamer Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Im saying Chara as the goalie, as he is soo massive.. But hammer is the best D man on the team, i wouldnt trade him for anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest overlords Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Roman, does absolutely nothing with his size he's alright, he's no souray that's for sure, but he can definitely start using his size a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest QbGamer Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Why are we still comparing him to sourray, Heck i think hammer actually has more points then sourray this year. Let me look this one up Hammer has 4 goals 16 assists for 20 points +3 Sourray has 3 goals 7 assists for 10 points and -7. Hammer has been soooooooooooooooooooooo much better then sourray this year, Hands down, Hes the man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ucandoit10 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 The smartest defensive D-men are Hammer and Gorges. Both do not get enough credit. Hammer especially. He used to be a big minus guy in his early years with more focus on offense, but has become much smarter in the last 5 years. His stay in Calgary has solidified his defensive skills.

Guest fansince1975 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 When did Montreal have it worst stretch of hockey? When Hammer was out with the flu. It was too much for Komi and Markov to shutdown the other top lines. Montreal needs two top D pairs to shutdown the other teams. With Hammer they have this.

Guest fansince1975 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I would think that Hammer will play against the Marleau line tonight. Good matchup. Hammer is very aware of how the Sharks play with his years in Calgary. He might even let O'Byrne rub Marleau along the boards so he can have some fun also. Might remind him of how Dion rubbed out Marleau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
