GDT: Game 65: Montreal @ Seattle, March 12, 10:30 PM ET | TSN2, RDS, KHN, KING 5, KONG

Suzuki's best adjusted : 86 points
Kovalev's best adjusted : 107 points
Saku's best adjusted : 79 points

Difference being Suzuki is the one most important piece on our team, we could not survive without him, hell we wouldn't even be able to compete. Kovalev for all his skill, cannot be said the same. Points or not.

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

Pittsburgh Kovalev was on another level. He arguably looked just as good as Jagr at times. That was his peak.

Even in the twightlight of his career in Montreal he almost cracked the top 10 best scorer in the league in 2007-2008. We would be looking at a 100 points season in today's higher scoring league.

Love them both but I'm siding with Kovalev here.

That's fair.

Saku never had a Caulfield. He had Kovalev at the end, but despite all his talent Kovy didn't have CC's consistency of effort.

This is how I see it too.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Save some oxygen for the rest of us David

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Kovalev is still my favorite Hab player post 93. But I wouldn't trade rookie Suzuki for rookie Kovalev, I just think Suzuki is more valuable, part of that is the 1st line center position.

Kovalev’s talent was off the charts. But he never quite lived up to it. Inconsistent and could be flaky. But man what a talent.

I still have hope that CC is going to have some 50 goal seasons.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Kovalev’s best years weren’t with us though.

But Saku would get 97 prorated and adjusted, the season he injured his knee.

 

[domiwroze]

Dobes should have just hold that, the f***.

David is next to you breathing like a heavy smoker

 

[Zorro]

Dobes needs to channel his inner Price/Roy/Dryden/Plante/Vezina

 

[Team_Spirit]

Dobes

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

Dobes needs to channel his inner Price/Roy/Dryden/Plante/Vezina

He's channeling Hasek tonight.

Slafkovsky reaction makes me think it is a high stick

 

[HabSgt]

Savard injured! No wait he's just asleep on the ice.

Still blocking shots down there though.

 

[The Great Weal]

Kovalev was MVP in 07-08. He was just as important. Prorated, that season was 91 points.

SLAFY GOAL

High stick maybe?

It's high stick but close.

Good goal on the ice tho

 

[Habssince89]

Was wright a minus on that one?

 

[expy]

Might be overturned, it's close.
