What do you think?

Can't say I'm surprised half of them are from the early 00s. Those were the days.

I liked Czerkawski as an Islander, shame he was worthless in Montreal. I guess that was their revenge for Muller...

Todd Simpson.

Krnage · 02-13-2012, 10:04 PM

pfff ....Gomez only get High Mention...should been in top3 imo

OneSharpMarble · 02-13-2012, 10:05 PM

Perezhogin was awesome but horribly misused by our idiot coach at the time. One of many players Carbo ruined by making him check instead of honing his offensive game.

Niinimaa also managed to ice the puck 432 times during his tenure with the Habs...

Surprised to see Gomez and Perezhogin in the honorable mentions.

Sports1131 · 02-13-2012, 10:06 PM

I really liked Perezhogin and don't think he should be on there at all. Traverse should be the runaway #1.

Kenny Powders · 02-13-2012, 10:07 PM

No love for my boy Bill Lindsay?

Seb · 02-13-2012, 10:09 PM

#1 is Traverse. Without a doubt.

Darren Langdon doesn't belong there, he performed well at his role.

If you're putting Pat Jablonski in there, where's Red Light Racicot? Peter Popovic would make my list as well. Gomez belongs here over Chipchura.

OMG Popovic....absolute giant and absolute garbage!

**Gabe84** · 02-13-2012, 10:15 PM

Sundstrom is one of the guy I hated the most. But I suppose he was more serviable than a lot of the guys on the list.

Aebischer, IMO, deserves a spot on the list, at least more than an honorable mention. Fish-out-of-water style ftw.

danyhabsfan · 02-13-2012, 10:20 PM

Barry Richter

Kjell Dahlin · 02-13-2012, 10:23 PM

Traverse had 23 points in 109 games with us? Not bad!

Juha Lind... that guy was wearing a jersey... and that's it!

Really? Imo Popovic was ok/good in the clutch and grab era. Clutch and grab being key words here!

Andy · 02-13-2012, 10:24 PM

Stephane Fiset.

That guy was ****ing terrible in the 2 games he played.

AntonCH · 02-13-2012, 10:29 PM

imho chipchura doesn't belong on the list.
Shortly after being drafted he suffers a career threatening injury and all of a sudden we drafted garbage.
When in fact, we drafted a player with potential that had a big injury.
But hey, the band wagon is big and it's got lotsa seats

Nicko999 · 02-13-2012, 10:30 PM

Where is Kaberle?

I might have had Richter and Wilkie above Czerkawski and Samsonov; probably even Chipchura.

So all those Gordie Howe records were only myths, damn you canadian media propaganda !

no love for Johan Witehall ?

Agnostic · 02-13-2012, 10:34 PM

That list could be expanded big and very quickly. Yves Racine might make my list, certainly over Jason Ward and Perezhogin.

As a person who has followed the team forever I have to admit I was shocked to learn that Matt Higgins actually played 57 games with Montreal.

Then there's poor old Terry Ryan. Couldn't even play enough games in the NHL to make the bad list.

Or they're lying about Czerkawski's "record". Either way, they're LYING TO US!!

You know what, I've had the Witehall conversation with some bros before. Dude was only here for, like 20-some games on one of the worst Habs' roster many of us around here have ever seen. Tough to be too harsh on him. You're right though, for a guy that should have been on the back end of his prime and who was fairly productive in the AHL, he didn't have much of an NHL impact, did he.

habsfan92 · 02-13-2012, 10:39 PM

Nope. Easily Robert Dirk. Worst & slowest guy I have ever seen play. And I have been watching since '76. Cant believe Mtl traded for him, although it was Houle.
