Kovalchuk doesn't play for the Habs. Jeez, you're clueless.

Markov is better than both Gionta and Pleks.

He was a 1 trick pony in shootouts...doesn't make him more dangerous than Plek on breakaways.

chest protector...'cos some of us go to the front of the net, and that's where flying pucks tend to go too...

I also wear a full cage, would you like to laugh at that too? you big strong macho man...

Same here.

Michel Therrien confirmed Rene Bourque has a concussion.
- Pecafan Fan

From the flu?

He's not our best option but he's talented and dangerous on breakaways. Kovalchuk has a brutal shootout percentage as well.

4 for (frank)ing 24.

Sneezed too hard.

Terrible, but it's more mental than lack of skill like in Gio's part. I would send out Galchenyuk, Desharnais and Eller...and then Plek if need be. Gio should never shoot.
- God_then_kovy

Plek shouldn't even be a thought!!!
I would send Emelin before I think of sending Plek.

I get it.

Um...we are talking about shootouts, not breakaways GTK. His trick worked more often than anything Pleks can do.

Dammit.

Right when we needed his size against the biggest toughest team in the league.

They are now the league dispensers of justice. They will make Pacs pay for his hit from behind.

i'm not laughing at you. i'm crying on the inside for you.

in all seriousness i applaud your taking precautions. i have noticed a big difference in Canadian and American beer leaguers. the Canadian guys to tend to wear full gear and full face protection, even neck guards. the Americans, almost as a rule, never wear shoulder pads and are more likely to not wear face protection at all or wear a visor.

I can't support you any longer.

take a slap shot on the mouth, you'll change your mind...

Plus, since he's been out forever, maybe, just maybe, goalies forgot about his "they'll never see this backhand coming" trick.

39.7

15th all-time in goals in the shootout

Plek at 16.7 only scored 4 in his career.

As i fully agrEE with the 69 wearing greaseballs, I still won;t give Dan the satisfaction of him knowing I laughed at one of his jokes.

i support you 100%

a triple sneeze must have knocked him unconscious.

Fair enough...my point was to never send out Gionta. Ever. Plek's shootout numbers don't do him favours but he remains a skill player.

Maybe in Fat Town, but not here.

I'm gonna have to agree with you on this one, as much as it pains me to do so.

No doubt Pleks is a skill player. It's a mystery why he can't score in shootouts to be certain.

I wore a visor until I took a slap shot on the mouth...

and I strapped the shoulder pads back on after my friend got 2 broken ribs from a blocked shot in front of the net...

Quite frankly playing in beer leagues is not worth that level of sacrifice...

no one cares anymore
