Another Heatley rumor to throw on the pile...

I think it's a little more than that. McCabe wasn't exactly a heavy hitter either (remember what Chara did to him?) -- I still think that that hit by Janssen did some long-term damage; whether it is physical or mental, he hasn't been the same since. Yes, Komi will insulate him somewhat (as Kuba, with his size and long reach could do here -- not by kitting incoming forwards, which is not legal without the puck anyway, but by getting in the way and making them take the lng way around) but I don't expect him to get back to how he played 2 years ago.

Oh, and that split millisecond may help with the pass, but it's not going to help much when that forwards is "finishing his check" a couple of seconds later.

Janssen is a nut bar...

And no one jumped Janssen for that hit...

All I can think of is Lucic destroying him.

I thnk it's hilarious that Habs fan insist on calling him a Front Bum relentlessly because he wouldn't fight Laraque. He beat up the biggest guy on their team without contest- and still manages to actually compete. It's hilarious just how jealous Habs fans are of this guy.

And petrified of him as well.

Lucic wins by default for not fighting Laraque, because if he does, he automatically loses either way. Lucic in the box for 5+ minutes is better for the other team.

What I don't understand is why Komisarek didn't RUN to the West to get the Diddle away from Lucic. Why stay in the same Conference. Never mind that actually - the same division. Lucic will torment him for the next 5 years.
