Samsonov wants out!

  • Good Riddance!

    Sergei Samsonov and his agent aren’t pleased. Not pleased with how he’s been treated in Montreal.

    Well roll out the red carpet for Mr. Samsonov because he’s certainly earned it, hasn’t he? He should be calling the shots right? With his performance he’s earned the right to demand what he wants, earned the right to flap his gums to the media.

    Samsonov will never recover from this. Should he NOT be traded, the taste he’s left in the mouths of Canadiens fans is bitter. Very bitter.

    Who in their right mind will take Samsonov and his salary? The big rumor is Chicago. Gainey will have to pull some strings to come out ahead on this one.

    Congratulations Mr. Samsonov, you’ve brought no class to an organization built on it.

    Pactum:

    I have always respected your posts, but I have been watching Sid for the last five years. You guys really don’t have any inkling what you are up against! Not even a clue!

    This is all going to sound a bit weird (even biblical), but…

    Last Sunday will be a dark day in the history of the Montreal franchise. Please remember in the future that Sid did not declare war on the Habs; the Hab faithful declared war on him! Your fate is sealed for the next decade. You are doomed to follow in the foot steps of Flyers fans, Derrien Hatcher and Ken Hitchcok, the former coach of the Flyers who also said, “Crosby is no different from any other player out there.” Well, at least, until he was fired earlier this year.

    This kid actually destroys anyone who decides that they are against him. He doesn’t mean to; he is just competitive in a kind of super-natural way. Think Maurice Richard, only meaner, tougher and more talented. You guys that call Crosby a wimp and a diver are totally misguided. This guy has often taken a high stick in the mouth from Hatcher; picked up his teeth off the ice, and continued skating around him like a pilon. All in the same play.

    You will see what I mean. If I were you I would remember two words, Respect Crosby. Give him a standing ovation next time he is in Montreal, bring placards of him in a Habs jersey. Hell, set him up with your sisters, daughters, mothers, wives in Montreal if you have to. You will do it if you know what is good for you.

    Montreal fans have angered the gods and must make amends. If you don’t believe that, have a good laugh and get on with your lives, but don’t ever say that I didn’t warn you.

    Hey Rob; are you ***? because I think you are truly in love with Crosby!
    you think this guy is the Messiah; can he walk on water? Maybe he can part the red sea, right? Get over him, or send him a love letter or maybe flowers.
    I know, you can become a groupie for him. Dude, he’s just 1 player, and there is alot of fish in the sea! get a grip! Mabe you should just move to Pittsburgh to be close to him.

    What the hell happenned to huet?? he is your number 1just cause the guy starts playing “normal” instead of stealing games for us with 45 saves we never should of won is not a reason to put in abby..you don’t see raycroft kipper roloson or luongo lose their job after losing a few…you yank the goalie and it sends a message to the team that it’s the goalies fault and not the teams play…you continue to play him win or lose, and the rest of the team gets the message its time to show up and play as hard as huet and huet will get his confidence back we ruined carbo with unreal standards and now we are doing it to huet…who you gonna blame now..sammy is gone..and you still got ryder higgins koivu and kovalev u don’t see them lose icetime..carbo lost his dressing room anf without huet as your backbone we might as well fold the tent now

    Some body better tell Sidney he’s got a stalker and his name is Robert Miller of Nova Scotia, you’ll know him when you see him,look for a **** HEAD!!

    The Leafs are playing well because they are a better team. Their players have defined roles and they do their best within that system. You don’t see Belak getting moved to the 1st line any more than you see Sundin on the 4th. And their goaltending is finally up to snuff. The reason they suffered early on was inconsistent goaltending while Montreal feasted on strong special teams. Now that each has evened out it’s clear that the Leafs are just better. It hurts to read that but it’s true.

    Rob – Oh my, buddy I think you better take your Meds… The voices in your head aren’t Sidney speaking to you?!!? LOL He is a Hockey player, Not the Lord our Savour! Your right we got our laugh.

    by the way the Habs must have pissed the Gods off long ago because they haven’t been in true form in over ten 10 years! May it was the Curse of of the almighty ROY…

    It was the curse of hubris over Roy. Without him Montreal would never have won the cup in 86 or 93 and he was treated shabbily. Time to pay the piper ;)

    hey countNY_HabsFan that link opens to an empty box. What gives? Red Fisher is a well respected columnist, while it is okay to disagree with what he has to say, to say it in those terms is just really disrespectful….maybe you were drunk, or maybe you too are going senile, or both perhaps….

    Weird,something went wrong with the”Samsonov clears waivers blog”,hum,virus perhaps,well I’m sure it will be fixed for the Sens games.With the Sabers beating the Sens 3-2 tonite ,they should be nice and tired,”thank-goodness”for tomorro’s game.This was quite the day today on the old Habs blog.It started with a defection of a fan to another organisation,then the passing of a long time Habs fan,a strange Red Fisher story stating CROSBEY got traded to the habs,Samsonov making up with Gainey and Carbo,Brother Hab fans going at it and at each other and Big H.B. getting upset at his bloggers…WOW,NOT bad considering no game today,lots going on…on the Bestest Blog in Town!!! GOOD-NITE..lol

    Actually, joshtm:

    There was a Red Fischer story originally with that link, and it was about Sidney Crosby (OF ALL PEOPLE) and the Habs trying to acquire him. It had a bit a slant against the Canadiens though because it implied that all that the Candiens could offer the Penguins was a Zamboni driver and a couple of the other “broken down” acquisitions.

    Obviously, the Gazette wisely pulled the plug on the link because they thought that Red Fischer would be labelled *** for speaking the truth, and obviously, the Canadiens faithful cannot handle the truth. If you thought the curse that befall you when you traded Roy was bad, wait to you see what happens after you dished Crosby (previously, a loyal Habs supporter.) Philly fans did the same last year; look where they are. Really, I did warn you. Next Pens-Habs game, Crosby will actually try. 8-2 Pens, and the Penguins will make the playoffs. You have brought this on yourselves for jeering Crosby last Sunday.

  • muller93 : MB is forced to go out and get a big D-man. Missing Emelin for almost half the season is the last thing we needed to hear. Now going out and getting a big D-man is a MUST!!!
  • muller93 : Now for the Fu**en Bruins who have no business even being in the second round are going to get a nice rest. Yes the same goons who took out one of best D-man for 6 more months. There is NO Fu**en justice. Just venting--Ok i feel better now.
  • muller93 : So pissed to see the Rangers lay down and play like total crap. How did the Rangers beat the Caps? This team is playing with no heart--a must win and can only muster 23 shots...PATHETIC !!!
  • muller93 : Senet I did see Galchenyuks goal--Made a great move for the game winner. You can see the kid has so much confidence.
  • goalie : If Rangers get swept I wonder if Tortorella will get his walking papers? Or Glen Sather? They have tons of 'talent' but zero wins in this series.
  • goalie : It's really too bad we lost to the Sens as we would have played the Rangers and the way NYR are playing we would have beat them too. If only. If only!
  • Senet1 : Actually I agree it was a good move for them to play a shorter season and get the experience. He could not have played in the minors this year he would have had to play junior or the NHL. However, he now has a year under him and knows what to expect next year and hopefully take a bigger responsibility on the team. Did you see those two goals in the bronze game? Wow.
  • muller93 : Good move by the Habs not having Galchenyuk play in the minors. Now Galchenyuk has 1 year in the NHL and playoff experience this is going to pay off big time come next year.
  • 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
