If by wash you mean it's not even close as to who the better powerplay player is between them, then sure...

Markov by a country mile.

Don't believe me?
Ask Souray, Streit, Schneider, Brisebois, Bergeron or any other player he's made rich or helped extend their career.

Then add Subban.

This makes it more flavorful, albeit a bit darker.

Truth is, you have no business being here. Nobody likes you, and all you do is cause trouble. You are PL.

Considering it might be a new PP set-up this year, I don't see Mtl having the best one. Top 5 maybe.

top five in the East?

I think they'll do much better than that... but you already knew that.

Wiz and Markov is a wash at best on the powerplay. The big difference is one is likely to be healthy.
- stormey

With Markov, if the recipe still applies, the habs "only" need a big shot on the PP. Hell, Schneider got almost 1 ppg during his time in MTL. Wiz is the best the team has had since Souray, but I don't think his presence will be missed that much. I'm more concerned about Hamrlik's loss.

Markov is Mtls best player, but the bolded continues to be ridiculous.

Did Muller not coach the PP? You don't think it will change somewhat?

Schneider? Really? Which Schneider are you talking about? Mathieu Schneider?

Streit....ummm....no.

I wonder why Bergeron and Brisebois where pretty much run out of town?

I'd say top 5 in the league, but I think Pitt and TB will be better.

I don't know even know what this means.

So, Mark Streit was ready to sign a contract for half the amount he got from the Isles, had Montreal been willing to negotiate with him before free agency. Did you know that? Bet you didn't.

Souray? He scored 19 goals thanks to his shot, but mostly thanks to Markov drawing attention and feeding him with brilliant patience.

Schneider extended his career thanks to a month next to Markov on the pp. He was done, otherwise.

MAB? He's still playing in the league... nough said.

Brisebois? Well, I guess that's a bit of a stretch maybe.

Look at the Montreal's powerplay during the periods all those players were here. The only constant was Markov, and they're in the top 5/ leading the league for 4 of 5 years.

That's hilarious. Wiz on his best day, doesn't touch the ability Markov has on the PP. Nice try though. Every Hab fan who knows the team, knows that's the case.
