AK-1 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Kostitsyn is one of the players who have me excited for this season. He will have a breakout year, you can take it to the bank. This is his year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HabsfanfromtheROCK Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I hope he does great this year so he can help the habs and wipe the smile off of my dads face for laughing at his play last year. P.S: my dad is a leafs fan... 2 leafs fans and 2 habs fans under the same roof..insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest electron Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I hope Andre explodes out the gate. It would be awesome to see him rack up the points. Take some pressure off the Koivu line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JL Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 It is no secret to anyone that Kostitsyn is a great talent. He was supposed to go much higher in the draft had it not been for the concerns with his health. We all know about his blazing speed, his great shot and his great vision on the ice, but one thing I've been pleasantly surprised with is his physicality. The guy doesn't shy away from the corners and gives solid bodychecks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's actually the only forward in our system who might have the potential to be a 100-point man down the line. I'm not saying he will, especially given that Montreal seems to kill offensive output, but he's definitely got the talent and the desire. Now he has to go out and execute consistently.

Or convince him to the power of the Habs! ;-) If that doesn't work, tell him that Leafs fans are the last who have to laugh at others... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest habs_fan1160 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Kostitsyn is the player I'm the most excited to see this season. The fans will get a chance to see what this kid is made of and what he can do out there, plus he's young! I think he'll have a great season, but I also hope that people aren't going to try and make him into something he's not and then boo him when he doesn't live up to the unrealistic expectations that were laid on him.

The guy doesn't shy away from the corners and gives solid bodychecks. I've noticed that too. It shows he's adapting to the north american game, which is a good sign.

This kid had a wonderful camp. But if he can't handle unrealistic expectations and pressure he might be in trouble. Montreal is all about unrealistic expectations and pressure !!!! but if you learn to deal with it you will be a hero . I think he will be just fine !!!

Guest smoke Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Could be a great second line or horrible..................... 3 high offensive players out on the ice together, they will either work magic, or turn over the puck a whole lot, lets hope for the magic I really like this kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jzun00 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I didn't think he was all that bad. He was solid out there, made some plays, and he hustled. The points will come, don't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
