How will the Habs power-play fare without its QB?
Posted July 18, 2008
Two years ago, it was Sheldon Souray blasting shot after shot from his spot on the right point, taking Andrei Markov's passes and forcing teammates and opposition to duck for fear of having their heads ripped off by a piece of rubber flying at 100 mph.
Last year, the thought on everyone's mind was "What will we do without Souray?"..."The power-play is gonna be [i]brutal[/i] without Shelly's big... Read More »
Max Pac in Habs colors?
Posted July 17, 2008
