Hey I saw him punch a guy who was slashing Price.<br /><br />Know what would really help these guys, though?

I really ho...JT, as always a breath of fresh air. <br /><br />I really hope this gets resolved before arbitration. I would really like to know what the gap is between the two camps. <br /><br />Many people want to jump down Pleks throat for under performing when he was our third top goal scorer last year. <br /><br />On paper, I think he should get at least what Grabs got in TO. Over the 3 years his numbers have been around what Grabs only put up for one year. I am betting Bob was hoping to get him at 2.5 Mil. <br /><br />I am starting to get concerned that we have too much money tied up, and Bob needs to keep pleks # low, so we can extend Price.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17449618382556422866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-40779327734471419052009-07-08T07:13:12.062-11:002009-07-08T07:13:12.062-11:00Pleks is a very good two-way centre who reminds me...Pleks is a very good two-way centre who reminds me a lot of Dave Keon. Great skater, good checker, good scorer and always responsible.I want him to be a Hab for a long time.<br /><br />He was one of many Habs (Ryder, Samsonov, Price, O'Bryne) who had bad years because they lost their confidence. <br /><br />There was a sports psychologist on Sportnets a while ago who talked about what a coach should and should not do when a player losses confidence. The worst things were to say a player needs to play better and to bench a player after any mistakes. He said a coach needs to provide specific instructions on what the player needs to do (prehaps show video of good plays) and to let the player know he can make little mistakes and not be benched.<br /><br />My impression is that Carbo was impatient when a player lost confidence and ratched up the pressure on the player. Eventually Carbo became so frustrated with some players I believe he gave up on them. That is why I believe so many Habs stayed in slumps for so long.<br /><br />I'm hoping that Martin will be able to keep Pleks' confidence up this year and that Pleks will look like the Pleks of old.DBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08774116563390591423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-5341351178538016722009-07-08T05:16:26.278-11:002009-07-08T05:16:26.278-11:00It will totally be resolved before arbitration..ju...It will totally be resolved before arbitration..just like it was for Ryder when he filed.StephDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986958512595518757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435571560723564995.post-81719597867684408502009-07-08T03:56:17.595-11:002009-07-08T03:56:17.595-11:00Great article.
