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 : I don't know when they'll announce it but the Oilers will be signing Sutter (Flames ex-coach) to coach their team - that's why Kevin Lowe chose him to coach in the World's. That was the world's worst kept secret.
Senet1 : I guess I wish we could get it done so all the speculating was over and we can get to building out team.
goalie : I can't type.... what a faux pas on my behalf...
goalie : I just realized what I said adn didn't say yesterday. What a fayx as on my behalf. Regarding coaching Randy Cunnyworth MUSDT stay as an assistant- he deserves at least that after the tremendous job he did in the latter part of this past season. I'd still mlike to have Robinson, Carbo adn Allard on the staff also.
Avatar37 : I agree Senet, my choice if we can't have Cunneyworth would be Crawford, Robinson on defense, Cunneyworth for offense, and Carbo as offense/faceoffs .
Senet1 : I think if I had my choice it would be Crawford and see if he could get Carbo and Robinson as assistants. That would be my idea coaching team.
goalie : I witnesed Marc Crawford MANY times when the Avs, etc. played against Oilers and let me tell you - he is constantly on the referees asses virtually game after game. He is the complete OPPOSITE of J. Martin. Crawford is calm on TSN but he is one excited coach behind the bench. A friend of mine who was an NHL linesman for 26 years said they dreaded Crawford he was so tough on the officials!
goalie : You know, I've bee thinking about the coaching situation. I'd be really excited if the Habs had Hartley as head coach and Carbo adn Robinson as his assistants. I also read it somewhere about a month ago that Toronto's goalie coach Allard (?) wants to relocate back to Montreal where he has his goaltending school/business. Add him to the mix and I'd say the Habs would be in great shape coaching wise.
Avatar37 : Well, from what I recall, Hartley didn't do all that well with the Thrashers. But, I don't know enough about him to judge one way or the other. Crawford I do know, and he always seemed to be a good, level headed coach to me.
Senet1 : even Pacioretty two years ago did not impress any of us. Younger players have to play and make mistakes and learn from those mistakes. If they sit in the press box they are learning nothing.
Senet1 : Of course if he have some good assistants like a Larry Robinson to teach the young defence and someone like Carbo to teach faceoffs etc. then your coach does not have to be as good at teaching. If Hartley fits the bill you get no argument from me. My only previous point is that if he is impatient with your younger players to the point that he does not play them, then we are right back where we were with Martin. Martin was a good coach too, but how he handled Emelin, PK and even Pacioretty two
goalie : I would like to see the Habs sign a coach who realizes that our team isn't tough enough (we need to get bigger and somewhat more nastier),the coach needs t be a great TEACHER and be a coach who can get the players to understand and buy into his system. Other than that I couldn't care what lingo he speaks. I wnat to see our team become a ligitimate contender fast!
HabsLoseAgain : Well we dont know if he is or is not a teaching coach. I woukd just hate to paint Hartley something that he is not. There will always be questions but if Hartley was hired as the habs new bench boss i for one would not be overly upset.
Senet1 : My thoughts are not that he is or is not a good coach but rather that when he won the cup he had an experience team of superstars on that team. Where as we have a group of young inexperienced players, is he a teaching coach or a tactical coach or both? I am not question whether he is a good coach, but my question therefore is he the coach for us at this point in the deveopment of our team?? Not sure we are all purely speculating at the moment?
Senet1 : Something happened to my first post. I will try again.
Senet1 : That is why I said I am not sure he is the coach for us at this time? Right now we are all speculating including yourself, because non of us know for sure?
HabsLoseAgain : Crawford also won a cup with Patrick Roy so would you say he is a good coach or did he just have great players and one of the best goaltenders of alltime?
HabsLoseAgain : Senrt so please give me some reasons why you think Hartley is not the coach the habs need right now. What is it that you do not like about him or his coaching style?
HabsLoseAgain : Well all great coaches had great players playing for them so i guess you you add a a pile of other coaches to that list including Bowan......
Senet1 : Hartley, was he a good coach or did he just have great players and one of the best altime goaltenders of all time. I am not sure that he is the type of coach that this organization needs right now. Unless of course we sign a ton of free agents.
Avatar37 : However, my feelings may completely be wrong, Hartley may turn out to be a good fit.
Avatar37 : I didn't say Hartley was unknown, I said we demoted a good coach in Cunneyworth and now have an unknown quantity because we don't have a coach. I don't have that great a feeling about Hartley, I'd be much more comfortable with Crawford.
HabsLoseAgain : In my opinion i think he might be a good fit in montreal. Oh and he also likes to have a tough team.
HabsLoseAgain : Also this year he coached the ZSC Lions to the swiss championship title.
HabsLoseAgain : lol the so called "unknown" won a cup in 2000-2001 with the colarado avalanch.
HabsLoseAgain : lol Bob Hartley is not an unknown lol.....sheesh.
Senet1 : I think he has until the trading deadline to show us that he deserves to be on this team. If he does not get back on track then he could be simply a 2nd round draft pick to whoever we can trade him to.
Avatar37 : Bourque reminds me of Pouliot, size, skill, and invisible. He needs to get back to playing a physical game and bang people around and maybe he'll start getting some of those garbage goals again. Need to get to the front of the net. I hope he can find his game again.
Avatar37 : We had a good coach in Randy Cunneyworth. Now we have an unknown, with Bob Hartley rumoured to be the front runner. I'd rather have Cunneyworth.
goalie : A player like Rene Bourwue has al the physical attributes of what would be a beter than average player. Hwever, he certainly didn't play that well especially after being in Montreal about three weeks. We NEED players like Rene to play hard AND produce points on a REGULAR BASIS in order for us to be competitive.
Senet1 : MONTREAL – Rene Bourque had a rocky start to his career as a Hab, but he’s planning on using the next four years to make up for it. After arriving in Montreal under less-than-ideal circumstances in January, Bourque spent the following 38 games hoping to find the spark he needed to rekindle his offensive production. Despite flanking Tomas Plekanec on the team’s second line to close out the season, the 30-year-old sniper suddenly found himself firing blanks in his new NHL home.
Senet1 : I think we have to be patient and not expect too much too soon. Let's get a strong management team in place, make a good choices in the draft get a good coach and then see what we need at the free agent market. I will not be too disapointed if we miss the playoffs again next year if it means a long term team success. We have the opportunity to make some major strides over the next two years at the draft table. Then we fill in the holes.
goalie : I certainly agree that we need to get some impact forwards who will sign for 5 years, not for a season then walk away. That's not going to help us.
goalie : I wouldn't trade PK for Ovetchkin no matter what. He is a coach's NIGHTMARE and a poor team player.
Senet1 : I believe he will as we graducally put better players around him and build this team.
