His 'personnality"... or lack of.In my opinion Markov was one of the most under rated players to ever play the game. How he was never in any serious Norris conversations.....
Habs badly need a D-man like Mailloux. He could be our next Souray. And with Hutson down the road, the perfect PP pair for years to come.
You’re presuming ‘they’ can think outside of the proverbial box. Heck, most sport management teams have difficulty thinking cogently/ effectively inside or outside the box.
Xhekaj is pretty good too on the PP, he's got 3 goals on the PP, and a great wrist shot too, very similar to Mailloux, but they don't use him.
The smoking on the bench thing never actually happened....just a myth based on the fact that he was an avid smoker. Ken Dryden addressed it in "The Game" which is a must read for any Hab fan imo. There is tons of Hab footage from the Lafleur years and you will never see it.....Bowman even said it was purely fiction. Lafleur was known to smoke a dart in the washroom between periods but absolutely never during a game. Interestingly Lafleur claims that there were about 10 of them that would sneak cigarettes between periods. Even then they had to hide it from Bowman so the notion that he was smoking on the bench is pure nonsense and it just goes to show how easily absurdities get passed around as facts by the general public.
Pretty insane how people took a true story about Lafleur smoking between periods and invented a story about Lafleur smoking on the bench. Fake News. We are truly living in the future.
Mailloux will soon have more goals this season alone than Jackeye had in 4 OHL seasons including an overage season. Not a knock on Jackeye whatsoever as he is strong in so many areas but Mailloux has an all star NHL wrist shot.
Why do you say "could," it's going the be a thing and the other teams won't be able to defend against them.
I heard Lafleur recount the story in person. Bowman was a tough S*B as coach.
This.
And statutes erected. Must be a new virus going around: people thinking outside of the box.
And statues are enacted, based on that outside the box approach.
Damn spelling.And statues are enacted, based on that outside the box approach.
Actually, it was a great typo as it offered an opportunity to go on a tangent.
I’m pretty sure there was a cigarette dangling from his mouth when he scored that big goal in 79.
Living in 15 minute cities and eating bug burgers, singing songs to praise our overlord Klaus"anal schwab"Schwab. But not me, I'll be living in the wilderness with the other Mad Maxians.
Agreed. For me, ideally, our future defense looks something like this:
Somebody should tell Dale Hunter that. Isaiah George and him usually draw the other teams top line and kill penalty minutes as well
