What's more, the Habs are showing what attention to winning in each game brings: more wins. <br><br>As for Nightmare49, if you think all that Koivu has to bring is bad penalties, you may need to watch him more closely. He is still a vital cog to the team, and his value will only become greater if they make the playoffs.<br><br>I expect his value to this team to become clearer to the doubters as we near April.<br><br>Tobalev mentioned how the \"Eyes on Kovalev\" section was born: to dispute claims that he tkaes 50% of games off in the event he didn't do it statistically. If we had an \"Eyes on Koivu\", we might have better ammunition to support our Koivu argument...<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Topham | <a href=\"http://lionsinwinter.blogspot.com\" title=\"http://lionsinwinter.blogspot.com\">Homepage</a> | 03.03.08 - 7:06 am | <a href=\"#26894\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"27006\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=2a3f1f335f68470816ad2bb03bf2db1b&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=32\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />Latendresse doesn't know how to skate, but Koivu has to go?<br><br>come on.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Stevens | 03.03.08 - 3:13 pm | <a href=\"#27006\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr>    <td class=\"InputCell\">                  <br /><div style=\"margin: 0 auto; width: 125px;\"><a href=\"http://www.offbeatguides.com/partner/12345/program/jskit104\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://www.haloscan.com/images/offbeatguidesbanner.jpg\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" border=\"0\"/></a></div><br /><div id=\"newcomment\"></div><form method=\"post\" name=\"addComment\" action=\"http://www.haloscan.com/comments/topham46/6863085995448711537/\" target=\"_self\">        <p>    Name: <br />          <input name=\"name\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Email:<br />          <input name=\"email\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          URL: <br />          <input name=\"url\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Comment:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"javascript:emo_pop()\" title=\"Smiley and tag help\" target=\"_self\">?</a>&nbsp;<br />          <textarea name=\"addMessage\" rows=\"12\" cols=\"38\"></textarea><br /><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"subscribe\" id=\"subscribe\" value=\"1\" /><label for=\"subscribe\">Notify me of followup comments via email</label>        </p>        <p class=\"PSubmit\"><input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Publish\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />&nbsp;<input name=\"previewMessage\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Preview\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />        </p>      <input type='hidden' name='user' value='topham46' /><input type='hidden' name='comment' value='6863085995448711537' /></form>    </td></tr>  <tr>    <td><p align=\"center\">        Commenting by <a href=\"http://www.haloscan.com/\" target=\"_blank\">HaloScan</a></p>      </td>  </tr></table><img src=\"http://c5.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=561713&amp;java=0&amp;security=01eeff58\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /></body>");
