Really long in depth highlight package of the Habs biggest addition this off season, Erik Cole. I put the better looking goals near the beginning since I know not everyone has the patience to watch the entire video.

Hmmmm Montreal really has a thing for spineless players eh? Go Bruins.

[corunguneee]

@projectpokey Yeah this is definitely another puckman55/bosoxnation1972 account.

cole-gomez-gionta? american trio? i sure hope he fits in nicely and doesnt get injured.... GO HABS GO!!!

[corunguneee]

@SueMe93 Cole is RW and is most effective there (notice most of his goals come from there). Assuming the Habs are going to sign one more UFA 3rd line forward, these are my lines: Cammalleri-Plekanec-Cole Pacioretty-Gomez-Gionta UFA-Eller-Kostitsyn Moen-Desharnais-Darche/White Markov-Subban Gill-Gorges Spacek-Yemelin/Weber Price Budaj Last roster spot will be decided at training camp (probably between Diaz, Blunden, Palushaj, Conboy, etc)

@cunu1 Fuck you

[CHC2P]

I think he will be with Cammy and Gionta that will be a good line and I am suprised the habs got him GO HABS GO!

[BONZOCAN]

Erik Cole is what PG wanted and he got him. It's what the Habs roster needed and has been needing for a long time. A power forward with size, speed and skill. He'll fit into the Habs dressing room just fine. He's a character guy. Excited to see him play! Go #72! Go Habs Go!

[nickk1k]

should be a great addition, I expect Cole to play with Gionta and Gomez, giving them more room to skate with his 225 hits last year. With this all american line, Hopefully Gomez can come back from the care bears clouds and legitimately play like he gives a shit. With this in mind cammy, Plecks, and Kostitsyn (which hits hard too) will rise and, Pacio,Eller with either white or Desharnais will only thrive. Markov back, Subban, Weber a factor, Yemelin is more than you think. AndthePriceisright

@terroriste Fuck your English is terrible. Learn the fucking language before you try and insult us.

@B0lduk You're right actually...I should probably think about changing my username. I picked the in 2008 when Kovalev had the best totals he'd posted since his Pittsburgh days. He was mediocre at best aside from that one year. Still it was fun watching Kovy score those short-side top corner wrist-shot goals from the half-wall on the PP...and he scored a lot of them.

[B0lduk]

@kovalevisgod Man I couldn't agree more. (Not about Kovalev though)

@projectpokey

Congrats Bruins on your Cup win

Enjoy while it last...

But you can't deny that the Habs have Thomas' number considering how lopsided the series was supposed to be and wasnt. No other team scored as many on Mr. Timmy Thomas.
