    It is too bad that the legacy of “Eric the Great” will be “Eric the not so great except at times when he was not concussed” I wonder what would have happened to him in the leauge if not for his overbearing parents. It may have been the same outcome, a series of potentially career ending concusions, but the hockey world may have given him a break if he was a standup player that we all respected. Eric lost that respect a long time ago. In the end I wish him all the luck, he will need it playing for the Leafs this year!! Hey maybe Stumpy will protect him, I hear he is the next big signing for the Laughs…LOL!!

    Agreed. Everything about that family relationship is just so weird and creepy.
    Also People will never forget how he first entered the league, whining and crying. You can’t recover from that.

    Geez, I was looking for Eric News to add to my Eric Site and somehow crossed this sad little site. How typical of Habs Fans, or should I say (Rehabs) to be the ones who whine and groan about something that happened over 10 years ago. Yeah, I know quite a few of Habs Fans and every single one whines, no word of a lie. God, get on with your pathetic little life and stop worring about Eric’s. We all know for a fact that you don’t need to worry about him 1 bit, he’s got his health back, lots and lots of money and playing for the World’s Great Team, yes I mean TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS. So, I am pretty damned sure that what you guys/girls thinks means nothing to him at all. Since he’s the one with the great job and so on and so forth, I’ll stop there, I what I write might make you all even more jealous. Oh yeah, about that picture, the only funny thing about that picture is that it’s all true. True in the sense that Montreal Players can only knock down any big players with sneezes coughs and bad breath.

    No ones whining and no ones ‘worried’ about Eric’s life. We could care less. He’s got his health back? I wasn’t aware you were his physician, well as long as YOU give him a clean bill of health, I guess he’s healthy! I guess his age and his 8 concussions will have no repurcussions on his game, I assume he’ll lead the league in scoring and dominate like in his early 20s. After all, nothings changed from 1995 to 2005 right? 10 years and severe head trauma, shrug it off.

    I’m saddened that you told me Eric doesn’t care about my opinion! I was hoping he read this site and really thought about my commments. I am shattered to hear I don’t mean anything to him. This deeply wounds me.

    Looking forward to the “World’s Great Team” missing the playoffs this year.

    Cheers.

    “WORLD’S GREATEST TEAM”

    def. A team that hasn’t won a cup in God knows how long. A team that year after year stacks itself with washed up players over 35 hoping that they will make a run!! Let me rephrase that, stacking your team with old men and hoping their gas tanks don’t run out by game 3 of the opening round. Face it LEAFS FANS the way LOSER *** FERGUSON builds his teams ain’t going to cut it in the new look NHL.

    Oh wait let us not forget about EDDY THE EAGLE!! MR. MY BACK IS SHOT BELFOUR.
    IT MUST BE THE AIR IN TORONTO, EVERY YEAR YOU GUYS SEEM TO BE THE “BEST TEAM IN HOCKEY” according to your lame *** fans
    but guess what? YOU AIN’T!
    come this year you will realize what a mistake your team has by adding injury prone players…you think last years batch of players was something?
    wait till this year!
    MAKE ROOM IN THE INFIRMARY! you leaf fans will be singing those blues all season long.

    All mud-slinging aside, I don’t think Eric is the answer to Toronto’s problems, at least no more than he and Fluery were the answer in New York. Hilarious cartoon.

    Funny how Lindros already got injured in a pre season game vs, you guessed it, the habs! The season hasnt even started! I atleast gave him 1 game, maybe I was wrong.

    Funny how you Canadien Fans do flap your gums quite a bit. Like someone above had posted. I too love everything about Canada, all Canadian Teams, but since you blind fans are gonna bash the TML, maybe it’s about time that you looked at your own team. Firstly the Habs are not anything special, stop acting like it. The TML are a far better team. I also have to agree about Roy, after he left, the Canadien started to suck. I too was a Canadien Fan, but also a very devoted TML Fan. So what Eric had a tiny pulled muscle, ooooh, ooooh, oh no. But he looked pretty sharp at the last Pre-Season game. Did he not? Number 1 Star of the game.

    Wow, Patrick Roy left the Canadiens? Was that recently?! What ever will we do!

    You really keep up to date on your hockey news dont you?. 10 year old headlines. I forgot , when you don’t win a cup in 200 years 10 years isn’t that long.

    Lindros looked about as sharp as a butter knife.

    Looking back on this months later, I believe Mr. Lindros is still sidelined with an injury. Jeez who could have predicted it?

    Just a thot, Yes I agree Eric Lindros has made a big mistake in refusing to play for Quebec. We had such High hopes for him. However he entered the NHL full of pride and his career has been disappointing. He could have ended up in Colorado with a few Stanley Cups but instead he is an embarrassment. What if he try to right his wrong by finishing his career playing for the Habs. I mean playing his heart -out for them and the people of Quebec. I think that would be a classy finish and restore some integrity to him. Dean

  • Senet1 : Galchenyuk scores to back to back goals in shoot out to help USA win Bronze metal. I did not see the second goal but the first was a beauty.
  • Senet1 : So we could pick anywhere from 25th to 23rd depending on who wins these quarter final series.
  • Senet1 : First, is the 14 teams in the lottery. Then there are 12 teams that did not make the semi finals in the order of the seasonal finish, Then there are the four teams in the semi final the first two eliminated pick in the order of the regular season points total and the last two based on who wins and who loses the cup. So as it stand now if say Detroit beats Chicago then Detroit moves up to pick after us. Boston or NYR will move up and pick after us. LA or San Jose will move up and pick after us
  • Senet1 : Basically, I was wrong about the draft pick situation. There are three groups of drafting teams within the 30 teams.
  • Senet1 : seriously ready to challenge for the cup. He will us win games but he will not be the difference between winning the cup and not winning the cup. You pick up players like that once you have the team ready to challenge,.
  • Senet1 : I am looking at the players to draft and there are a lot of big 6'3-6'5 forwards available ion the draft this year. If we could draft 3-4 big young players in the 2nd and 3rd round why would you want to give that up for a roster player who may have 2-3 years at best. If we are going to build a winner to have to build it with bigger players and there are a lot of good big players available this year. So you sign Ott and he is with us for the short run, but probably not when we are seriously re
  • Senet1 : Boullion is a great mentor for the young D-men
  • muller93 : Boullion is one of MBs great additions--Boull ion is a definite Keeper.
  • muller93 : Getting rid of Kaberle frees up a lot of cash. Boullion is small but is reliable and doesn't back down from anyone.
  • muller93 : Exactly Goalie any thoughts on a punishing D-man?
  • goalie : They;re showing determination adn skill vs Ducks and Blackhawks.
  • goalie : REd Wings could turn out to be the surprise team of this year's playoffs!
  • goalie : WE need to rid our team of Kaberle and Webber. Step two would be to then move Diaz. If we get that big d-man I believe that would push Boullion to # 7 on the chart. We'd then go with Georges, PK,Markov (to continue mentoring Ememlin) Tinordi as our starting six . THEN I'd be excited about our chances. We could then work on getting bigger forwards.
  • goalie : I too would gladly give up a 3rd round pick for Ott- the type of player we sadly lack. AND if we could get one more rugged, expeienced defenceman it would help immensely.
  • muller93 : Senet what you are saying makes sense but if we can get Ott for a 3rd round I'll take that all day.
  • muller93 : MB should be looking at a big D-man first, even though I like our blue line with the addition of Tinordi. We need that insurance just in case one gets injured. Also I'm a firm believer in starting with the goalie first then-defense-for wards-and we already have good goalie. We have all noticed when we have the lead Price is tough to beat.
  • Senet1 : So sometimes you have to sacrifice for one year or two to build that team in the draft. then add the finishing touches through FA and trades.
  • Senet1 : Muller, Detroit is another good example. They have been in the hunt every year with good well balanced teams yet only one or two cups to show for it. However, they have built a team that has a chance every years for the last 10+ years. That is what I think we have a chance to do this year with a good draft. It reminds me of the habs teams of the mid 80 and 90's we built a team then with sold draft picks and won the cup twice during that time period. So sometimes you have to sacrifice a one
  • muller93 : Very true Senet, you do need luck and we haven't had any luck it seems since the habs moved to the Bell Center. We had an incredible run in 2010 with some crazy goal tending from Halak. With Galchenyuk-Tinor di-Gallagher all in 1 year--not too bad, even with an early exit in the playoffs.
  • Senet1 : Muller I guess we all have our own ideas, but there has never been too many times that were successful when they traded their draft picks away. We have a chance to build this team so we have a shot at winning the cup over the next 10 years. Even as good as Pittsburgh has been they have only won the cup once since Crosby and Malkin have been with the team. That is because you not only need great players but you need luck to win, but one thing about Pittsburgh they have a chance every year. The
  • muller93 : Good point on Torres, he might be a liability. Torres has to tone it down a bit, but that's his game-very aggressive.
  • goalie : Though I don't condone what Raffi Torres did - thos shows you how repeat offenders or near offenders are going to be treated. His hit was NOT illegal BUT what the rap sheet adn reputation Torres has he got severly punished. Lesson to be learned by OTHER players because Torres dopesn't learn fromk his mistakes.
  • muller93 : Senet normally I would agree with you on not trading draft picks but we are not in a rebuilding stage. Sometimes draft picks can be a roll of the dice and it can take up to 3 years to be NHL ready. We have a good team and I agree with Stuo players like Clowe-Torres-Ott -Scott will make a big difference. Somebody has to protect Gallagher, he can't keep getting hit the way does--we need a tough forward so they think twice before going after Gallagher.
  • Senet1 : Really a heathly Habs team would probably win more games against the Pens that we did against the Sens. Reason they Pens would not play as physical against us as against the Sens. If we get good goaltending we win at least two games.
  • zpezada4ok : hello all «link»
  • stuo11 : hes a tougher big guy too! Just a minor adjustment but will help a bit
  • stuo11 : hes better than markov, and hes french who was in mention for defenceman of the year
  • goalie : Markov for Beauchemin - an injury prone d-man for an ;old timer'd-man. Beauchemin is NOT what the Habs need in my opinion. He is a HUGE defensive liability.
  • goalie : Stuo 11 I'd make that trade with Oilers fast BUT I doubt the Oilers will make that. Two marginal d-men at the best for a switch of first round picks - not a chance .
  • stuo11 : markov for beachemin?
  • stuo11 : let moen go
  • stuo11 : maybe try and get steve begin back
  • stuo11 : we wouldve kicked out all other teams but pens, sens,
  • stuo11 : pens have alot of forwaRDS same with us but we have better goaltending
  • stuo11 : theres styles of play goalie. Sens played us good, but lost games to southeast teams florida and tampa and get crushed by leafs EVERYTIME. sens and leafsd cant beat bruins but we do frequently
