So We All Need To Stop And Take A Moment To Appreciate Andrei Markov

By -


This guy has been around since the dawn of the new millennium.  For a dude in his late 20's (me), Markov has been a staple on the blue line since I was in grade school.  

 Markov was tossing clappers and blocking shots while I was still trying to figure out how to date every girl in our grade school class.  

 (Note, unsuccessful).   

 The dude has been there through all the highs and lows, and some epic playoff series.  

 He's also had a lot of knee problems which has caused him to miss a ton of games.  Keep that in mind when you look at the chart below.

 Look at this:

Right behind the greatest Habs defenceman of all time.   This guy is seriously flying under the radar.  He has 36 points this season alone and nobody talks about him!

 The guy is absolute an stud!  He deserves our praise, and a little more love from the Montreal faithful who have been blessed with this Russian beast for the last (nearly) 20 years.  

 Also, on NHL 17 feel free to take Marky for a little skate in the offensive zone.  He's got mad video game skills too.

 Here's to you, Andrei.  One of the greatest Canadiens of all time.

This Is It

LOSER Tonight and this afternoon will be an outright cluster&@$^.  I can't even begin to try to calculate who we are going to end up playing in the first round.  If we lose tonight it will be the Leafs, simple as that.  If we win and Boston loses their game to Washington then things will get interesting tomorrow night in the finale game of Ottawa vs Boston.  So basically win for drama and lose to play the Leafs.   My heart says lose and sweep the Leafs out in the first round for what would be revenge for every Saturday night game of my childhood living in Ontario.  My sensible self says win and end up playing an easier team seeded way lower than us.  It is going to be an interesting 40 hours ahead.  Oh, and if we draw the Sens in the first round I'd be all over some tickets, so kinda hoping for that too. Gametime is 7PM on CBC. Go Habs Go!

I'm not going to get sucked into the whole Friday morning 6 points out of a playoff spot, game against the Leafs on a back to back storyline today. No way. I stand by my eulogy of the 19/20 season. I will admit this was awesome: Beautiful classic two pad stack from the great Carey Price pic.twitter.com/piw3ZDA42P — That's Hockey Talk (@ThatsHockeyTalk) February 7, 2020 But I'm still not getting sucked into this. The Canadiens have now won 8 of their last 11 games... — Eric Engels (@EricEngels) February 7, 2020 Nope, don't care, I have already declared this team dead. Carey Price has a .924 save percentage since Dec. 1. Since Jan. 1 it’s .937. — Eric Engels (@EricEngels) February 7, 2020 Okay okay, but if we can't score does it really matter anyway?
