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

goalie : Didn't get to see the game at all but it's great to see Pacs get a hat trick and fpor Cole to be + 3. When was the last time this team won three games in a row? Great victory -looks like they're giving 100% effort!
Senet1 : 4-2 win habs
Senet1 : Gomez scores, Yea!!!
goalie : As I said yesterday it will be interesting to see what our lame ass GM gets for players he ships out. Bourque is good and he'll help us but I still think we could have gotten more for him and for Halak when he was traded.
Avatar37 : round those picks occur (probably 3rd).
Avatar37 : An interesting article. If we slip to the 5th or 7th draft pick, a very interesting case could be made for drafting Galchenyuk. If we wind up with the second or third pick, I'm not sure who I'd draft, because clearly Yakupov is going to be drafted first overall. Our second round pick also becomes interesting, I know I'd take Vasilevski if he were still available. It will also be interesting to see if we can turn some of our veteran players (Moen, Gill, Campoli) into draft picks, and what

Avatar37 : That is why PG should have waited on trading Cammalleri. Right now, there is a high demand for a top 6 forward, we could have gotten much more than Bourque in return. That isn't a knock against Bourque, but a knock against a knee-jerk reaction trade that didn't maximize our return on a top asset.
Avatar37 : «link»
Avatar37 : chips fall where they may. After all, the only difference between finishing 17th and 29th is how good a pick you get in the draft.
Avatar37 : We currently sit in 26th place in the league. We are 15 points ahead of Columbus, it's safe to bet at this point they will place last. We are, however, only 4 points ahead of Edmonton so it's still wide open as to who is going to finish second last. I still think that it's time to sit the veterans, play the youth, let them get experience, and regroup for next year. I'm not suggesting deliberately tanking like the Penguins, but give all our young players lots of playing time and let the c
Avatar37 : goalie - If it were not for the play of Cammalleri, we would never have made it out of round 1. Cammalleri played as big a part, if not bigger, than Halak did. Sure, Halak played well, but remember the team collapsed in front of him, making his job much easier. We had lots of blocked shots and the ones that got through were typically from the outside.
Senet1 : Goalie you are absolutely right, of course the one thing we had the two previous years that won the games that we are losing this year was our power play. If you look at say 10 games that we should have won had we had a similar power play, again we would not be having these conversations. When your PP goes from first to last in the league that is a lot of goals.How many games have we lost this year by one goal. Again poor management who did not prepare for Markov's possible absence.
goalie : I'll put it another way.... we need more players who are willing to get their noses dirty.
goalie : Two years ago when our goaltending stole series adn our players suddenly scored the coaches / GM believed that that was our true team . Well time has proven that was not. Though I was very glad to see the Habs knock off some very good teams we were very fortunate. And fortunate that spring was spelled HALAK!
goalie : The wrst mistake management could possibly make I believe is to say, we played well some games and we believe the team can play to that level more often in the future. This team CANNOT adnb DOES NOT play to a high enough level. Please do not kid yourself mamngement. hat is partially why we're in the lace we are.
goalie : Senet is correct when he says that if we had more games with a better efort this year we'd likely be in the playoffs. It has been very inconsistent effort but much more than that. We lack big, tough playing and finishing. Never mind fighting for a moment. We did not compete for the pucks nor along the boards nor in front of both nets enough this year. Thus we are in 29th. If the coaching staff doesn't see that then they shouldn't be there.
Senet1 : Surely Molson is not going to keep him as the GM?
Senet1 : when he knows he will be fired at the end of the season. Nothing really makes since in this whole process.
Senet1 : I am not sue why PG has not been fired by now. They could be waiting for another GM to come available at season end, but why would you not set up a committee to manage the team in the short run until a new GM can be named. There is no since in chaning coaches because whoever the GM is he will want to name his own coach. Gainey and a committe of other executives can manage the team through to the trading deadline and onward. What motivation does PG have to making any worthwhile trades when he is
Senet1 : I am too mch of a competitor to want my team to tank to. However, If these players played like they ae cabable of playing all year we would not be having this discussion right now, we woud be talking about the playoffs and who we would rather meet in the first round.
rocky : Exactly, and Senet nails it when he says we have not had an elite top 5 in the nhl player since lafleur.
goalie : I too want the Habs to get the best possible draft this June. We all need SOME hope!
rocky : He is persona non grata in habville, and a ghost in every sense of the term.
goalie : It remains a miracle how we have heard from our mighty GM twice since Christmas - the trades involving Spacek and Cammy and those comments were extremely brief. PG just does not cut it in my world. Part of a GMs job is to go public from time to time. PG never does that in fact he's a ghost GM!
rocky : Its true, there is no honor in that. These guys have only known the ethic of giving it all to win every night. I do not want them to "tank", and they will never do that anyway. I do want them to lose though, as awful as it sounds.
goalie : Roicky as a good point. We all want the Habs to get a really good draft pick. However, players, coaches etc. also have a keen desire to compete and win. That's why they're playing at the pro level. Thus we can only hope that the team plays some good games and let the chips fall where they may. After the disasterous season we've had let's not lower ourselves adn get involved in any dscussions about 'tanking' games.
rocky : So long.
Senet1 : Good discussion rocky, I have to step out for an hour, but may be back later.
Senet1 : The only way this team comes back to a team with long term potential is to draft a game breaker. Even all the other bad teams have a Stamkos or a player like him. He have some good player so what we need is a Malkin that we can count on 80% of the time to win a game for us.
rocky : I mean winning will only do them harm that is.
rocky : It really hurts because my reflexes make me want to cheer like mad, but it will only hurt the team now.
Senet1 : Yes I have mixed feeling when watching the game. Last night I say here we go again. with our record of shoot losses I did not expect to win that one. Yet I wanted to win real bad?????
rocky : God, so horrible to sit and hope for losses, but here we are.
Senet1 : Our problem is we play one out of every 4 games good and therefore, we play well enough to stay on the borderline of a top five pick. If we win three or four in a row we could take ourselves right out of the running.
