this guy is as tough as nails...I hope he see some playing time with the Habs this season.

He is a career AHLer, we need NHL skilled players on this team, goons even moreso!!!

Montreal needs a drop em kinda player, lots of skilled players on this team but no toughness.

Just another waste of a roster spot.

The same as what Georges "Bunny" Laraque was!!!

tricolore · 07-31-2010, 12:06 PM

I don't know how much Henry could help this team but I DO know that they definitely need to get bigger and tougher.

SIZE AND GRIT!!!!

Big difference.....Henry won't make nowhere the amount of money Laraque did and besides the only way Henry will get called up is if theres an injury.

But the biggest difference you failed to mention is that Henry doesn't send personal invitations out to fight.....he just drops them!
