No Habs No! - Braydon Coburn

by PPP on May 24, 2010 2:00 PM EDT in No Habs No

1967ers and I are batting around some ideas for posts to write this summer but if we were Atlanta fans Braydon Coburn would definitely feature in some way. Don Waddell, in his infinite wisdom, saw the need to actually make the playoffs traded a young defensive stud who he had drafted eighth overall for Alex Zhitnik. The Thrashers were promptly swept. Meanwhile, the Flyers laughed all the way to the bank so to speak.

In game one, Coburn's opener, and eventual winner, set the stage for the kind of traffic that Jaroslav Halak was going to face in this series. Coburn spent more time in the Habs' crease on play than most Capitals and Penguins forwards did throughout their entire series.

Letter after the jump and you best believe I mentioned the Thrashers trade.

I remember Chemmy saying that he was going to give a “No Habs No!” letter to Jaroslaugh HAHALOLAK after his hilarious game 1 performance. Are you going to do that?

Are you going to send one to Leighton for his efforts? Three shutouts is worth a buck, I’d say.

After the series sounds like a good idea.

I’m getting awfully disappointed with the tone these letters are conveying. The little jabs to the recipients is not what the campaign is about and in honesty it’s something that Ottawa (I’ll never say this again) did better.

Are you being serious? Read the Antropov letter again and tell me there weren’t digs in that one. The only ‘dig’ here is suggesting that they need luck after wishing them good luck.

Holy shit, you senators fans have to be the whiniest bunch of whiners that ever whined.
