Notable brief stint Hab players

[1909]

From NFLD Darren Langdon was a good goon in 2003. Better than Downy and Ivanans. It's strange Gainey didn't keep him.

Speaking of goons, Ivanans, Laracque and Parros (and Scott) were such useless players….

Glen Metropolit was surprisingly good for us

He was here awhile though wasn't he? but yeah damn fine 4th line/3rd line C

I quite liked Nicolas Deslauriers as well

1.25 seasons

Robert Lang was great. Sucked he got hurt with 2 other Habs in one game against the Bruins.


Johan Witehall. He along with former hab, Paul Mara and Todd Harvey would end up being great players in NHL 2000.

1.25 seasons

Wow. That's crazy. I thought it was 3 seasons. My mistake!

Edit: How did he just retire after that season? 16 goals and almost 30 points in 69 games was damn fine production in his role. I thought he just went somewhere else after. Too bad. Liked him.

 

[1909]

I almost already forgot that Colin White, Pearson and Ylonen were Habs players few months ago !!!!… And the famous Gurianov the season before. Jiri Sekac ….. Another big body without a brain.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I liked Ryan White too but not sure if he qualifies

 

[L4br3cqu3]

He was probably named, but Erik Cole, at least the season he wanted to play, he was fun to watch.

I always loved physical play and bodychecks, so I kinda liked Douglas Murray, he wasn't great or anything (was pretty much done at this point actually) but damn he did hit hard.

Robert Lang, that team may have done some damage if not for his severed achillies.

He and Kovalev were also the answer to an obscure trivia question too. In that season they were the last 2 active NHLers to have played with (teammates and sometimes linemates) both Gretzky and Lemieux

I became convinced those barbershop jerseys were crused after Lang's injury.

Ales Hemsky

Him and Semin were two prominent wingers with such forgettable stints here

I liked Murray when he was a Shark, Murray as a Hab was a full shell of his former shelf. I swear, turtles could skate faster than he did

Weak goal given up by Jake Allen. Nothing much has changed over the years.

I remember we got just in time before the PO and he looked energetic and experienced. That was welcomed with Koivu who seemed a bit tired and overused. Metropolit was taking care of the FO and did a fantastic job at PK. He missed just that much skills to have a line that could produce goals.

 

[George Lebay]

Zack Kassian.

They all were. No pts to expect from them. It was a time when teams had one spot for useless players who drop gloves. But useless or not, some of them didn't do their job like lose fights, not protecting players who were abused or took stup*d penalties for no reasons. Langdon was doing his job ok.

 

[Garnet76]

Darcy Tucker. Not sure how many games he played with the Habs.

 

[puckeater]

[Vachon23]

Zack Kassian.

I was happy about his acquisition, thought he would have been a fan favourite

After his fight with Xhekaj, he was.

Too bad y a pas compris

 

[Rockomax]

I still remember Darren Langdon’s goal in the playoffs

Crankshaft!

Was just talking about him the other day with someone who played against him in university.

 

[ZUKI]

Pierre Dagenais of course !

Yeah, Gonchar was older but still was so fluid on skates, game smart like Perry but on D. It was fun to watch while it lasted.
