| @josh: pretty harsh. yes, the league, not techhnically the habs themselves, retired Gretzky's number, no Canadien can wear that number, so it does merit a bonus answer, and I'm not sure he was trying to sound clever and find a loop hole, I think he was just saying he thought gretzky should be there. I think how the league handled it is ludicrous though, as well. I mean, where do you draw the line? Why not Bossy, or Howe? Do they do it for Brodeur when he retires?
And finally, yes, i will agree with you about the players. Markov, Kovalev, Koivu, and a lot of young talent have inhabited the team. They've had a better roster consistently then maybe a third of the league, and to call them mediocre is just ignorant |
