Yashin To Be A Hab?

In the land of make-believe comes a story from RDS (TSN's sister station) siting that Alexei Yashin would like to play for Montreal.

Oh yeah, the story comes up with some "good" reasons. Those of course being that Yashin is friends with Markov, Kovalev and our good friend Samsonov. Oh yeah, and he practices in Koivu's home town. Of course that last part is like saying, "I once had an Aunt that visited the Big Ben. So I'd love to play in Real Madrid with David Beckham."

Seriously, if the Habs sign this guy, then my respect for Gainey will fall straight through the floor. This would be the worst signing in the HISTORY of the Habs. First, you get a guy who's old (34) and nearly feeble (history of injury problems). He's a dressing room cancer and totally useless in the playoffs (as he proved yet again this year).

Gainey, I hope you're listening. Don't you freaking DARE grabbing this guy. Don't make me cheer for the Leafs! Oh I'll do it! I'll get painted all blue and make up a sign about marrying Don Cherry and everything. You watch!
