Weather the storm, Habs fans! Don't listen to Joel "Chicken Little" Bouchard. Yes, we know, the loss of Markov--one of the Leagues top Defencemen--sucks big time. And thankfully Bob isn't running around panicking like some of the pundits online and on air. Losing Rhino doesn't help, of course, but unless you listen to the opinions of 120% (also known as L'Antichambre with a 10% more chance of douchebaggery than 110% if that were ever possible), Gill and Mara are quite the duo of TREES more than capable of playing defence. In fact their "sticks and reach" was probably on Ron Wilson's cheat sheet under "strengths". (Right where the screen cuts off). Sure they're not as flashy or elegant as the General, NO ONE CAN BE MARKOV! And why does no one stop to think "hey, how come no one signed UFA Marc-André Bergeron?". Who knows, but I don't care. As for trading, stop mentioning Soupy in Chicago please... Not only do we not have the cap room, but what would you sacrifice for that? And what would you DO when Markov comes back? Besides, Sergei's fit of confusion totally negated any trade value he ever had. And shut up about Halak. We need two number ones until the system settles in.
Anyway, Swiss Mister 2.0 is up! And fits under the cap! And Sergei has sucked it up, put the purse away, and headed to Hamilton like a good boy.
Oh and if we enter November going 2-12, THEN you can start shitting the bed.
