I can't believe Saku Koivu might be playing for the habs tonight. He is still recovering form Chemo. I hope he does well, but has enough sense to know when to get off the ice and stay. I would rather see a hearty and hale Koivu playing later, then to see him try to do too much too soon.

Koivu vows to beat cancer

CBC SPORTS ONLINE - He's lost all of his hair and a lot of weight. But even a battle against cancer is not going to dampen the spirit of Montreal Canadiens' star Saku Koivu.

Making his first appearance since he was diagnosed with abdominal cancer last month, an upbeat Koivu said that his chemotherapy treatment is progressing well and he is determined to return to the game he loves.

"I will win this fight and I'll be back on the ice before you know it," he said.

Koivu's life was changed forever when he was told he had stomach cancer in early September.

"When I heard I had cancer, the world just stopped for me and I was there all alone for a moment."

The 26-year-old forward was feeling relatively healthy all summer and was getting ready to prepare for his seventh season with the Canadiens when he started to feel extremely ill on a flight from Finland to Montreal.

Immediately upon arriving to Montreal, he visited Canadiens team doctor David Mulder, who admitted him to hospital for tests.

The talented playmaker was heading to Montreal for training camp. He was hoping to lead the Canadiens to their first playoff berth since the 1997-98 season this year.

Support from friends, family, hockey fans and other cancer survivors have helped him cope with the treatment, he said.

He has received phone calls from Pittsburgh Penguins owner and star Mario Lemieux, who battled Hodgkin's disease, and cyclist Lance Armstrong, who overcame testicular cancer.

He said the fact that both athletes overcame cancer and returned to dominate their respective sports was a source of inspiration.

"It made me stronger just hearing what they went through. Especially all those three guys came back (to sports), Lance won the Tour de France, Mario came back and played a high level of hockey -- same with John Cullen. I hope that I can do it maybe one day."

Koivu said that he watched his Canadiens beat the Ottawa Senators 6-4 in the season opener, and he will be in attendance at the home opener against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.

This is the biggest setback in Koivu's injury-plagued career. He has not played a full season since 1995-96 and missed 28 games last season due to a knee injury.

The Leafs-Habs games are always exciting but this one was a nail-biter. Agreed about the opening ceremony Zeyna. Go Blue.

Okay, but what's a HAB? I still do need to justify some purchases. Not that it matters in the shopping world. I have been known to buy a lot of stuff I have no use for.

Whats a Hab????

The Hab's are the Montreal Canadiens. The GREATEST hockey team to ever lace its skates up. (Even if they have sucked the last few years. ;)) Theyt are the winningest hockey team in NHL history.

Can you tell I am a fan? :)

Odds are they will bounce back. I heard before I left that the Habs are going back onto their old injury streak that caused them to crap out every year. :(

I will have to get my hockey fix through you now. So keep me informed. :)

Go habs Go!

Neko....I love Paul Kariya...does that help? Not much to cheer about in Anaheim these days...but it could be worse...you could live in Pittsburgh!

That has got to be tough with all those serious injuries to LeMieux, Straka, and Kovalev.
