  1. really guys? He doesn't deserve a reply or a spot on the Habs threads?
  2. cube signs with nashville Good luck lil buddy. At $750,000 he's a great 6th D.
  3. I was laughing when Gill went to Pittsburgh, but watching him for two years, I found that he seems to have improved from his play in Toronto.
  4. Were you at the game? How did they look?
  5. 42- 26 -14 98 points Lots of one goal wins losses and OTLs
  6. I was going to mention this before, but I am very impressed with the effort a lot of you guys are putting into this website. I don't post all of the time, but I have been a fixture for 2 or 3 years. DBlair, Maca...all of you guys put serious time into things like understanding the waiver and contract status, interviews and so on. Good job to all the guys who put this effort in for zero profit. It makes the site much more enjoyable.
  7. They need to make internet ticket sales ilegal and levy a hefty fine for anyone caught doing it. Law enforcement goes after the wrong guys. Street scalpers take a risk and sometimes have problems getting rid of tickets. Internet scalpers do it for months before the game. I wish someone with authority would persue this. Ticketmaster and the actual team or venue, should be the only ones allowed to sell online. It is the online scalpers that are making it hard for you and I to get tickets.
  8. As far as I'm concerned, the money to the bankers and contract holders is the number one thing. If more creditors will get their money by the team staying in Glendale, then that's the way it should go, but from what I can see, the team will not succeed in Phoenix. So 3 or 4 more years of losing serious money...total bankruptcy to the next owner, and no money to the guys who built the arena, and half the money to the origional creditors. I don't believe a hockey team can survive in Phoenix.
  9. If there is a sequel, it won't even come close to the origional. The ability to surprise is gone. The newness which comes with a a totaly origional idea is what makes it atractive, or at least helps it become more apealing. Like I said before, if there is a sequel, I will probably be disapointed. I will pay to see it in a theatre though.
  10. Plus they did the big salary dump with Vancouver.
  11. I totally agree with you. I would hate to see a sequel. That was what I found intriguing. The end of this story is up to you. The way I saw it, The red dude and his kid go home, get reinforcements, land and take their aliens from district 10. We act like dicks, and they destroy us. Lol. Or not. The point is I think that a sequel will cheapen the origional, unless it can surprise. That's what is great about such an origional movie. I gave cloverfield about a 6, but I give District 9 a solid 8.5 out of ten.
  12. The economics must be considered as well. The owner is broke. If I lent him money, I would want the guy who offered more money to get the team. Simple as that. After a major crash, you would think that the judge would be concerned about that part of it. 240 million to the creditors is more than 150 million. That's it.
  13. I have a friend with season tickets in 330 AA. They are a little high, but they are great seats. He sells them to me for face value. The great thing about those seats is that you are right at the edge, so there is a lot of room. His are two in from the aisle and the washroom and beer stand are very close.I think I will come back to Montreal for another double header. The last time was one of my better memories.
  14. I already said my thing about Basterds. I think that District 9 was awesome. Neill Blomkamp was fantastic. He went from a blundering fool to an action star. This movie intrigued me. I loved the animation. It was seamless. The plot was interesting. Hoping not to spoil here, but I thought the Racism thing went a bit far, but there is no way the plot could have gone the way it did without the racist tone. I don't know which one I would reccomend more. I think Basterds just because of Waltz's performance. Opinions?
  15. Wow. Your analysis is spot on. I thought the exact same thing during the movie. Right from the opening to the tarentinoisms. My only difference is that I give it an 8 with Waltz and more like a 6 without him. He was brilliant. Regarding Tarantino, go watch True Romance, Resevoir Dogs, Rewatch Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill 1 and 2. Two is actually much better. His need for flashy dialogue can become pretentious and annoying, but the overall experience is campy, violent and enjoyable.
  16. Ya. It's actually good for bringing up rookies. Load up on high rnd guys and fill the roster with rookies. Deadwood can go to Swedish Elite and KHL.
  17. Chances are the facility is just run by Christians. The likelyhood of the team going to bible camp is low. Just a team building place to go that's close to Tarana, where they play their last game.
  18. I was a huge fan of Wamsley's idea. Load up on 1 and 2 year terms and wait for the cap to come down.
  19. Name:BCHabnut Habs Cups witnessed: 4. That i clearly remember. I was too young before that. Which Habs will improve?: Latendresse, Lapierre, Price, Hamrlik, (please AK and Plek???) Which Habs will regress?: Cammalleri, D'Agostini, How will Martin do?: Martin will keep his emotion bottled up and he will actually explode during a game in 2011. It will be really messy. He has a big challenge, but I think he has the background to really help this club. I specifically recall old Sens interviews after the game. The entire team was working out directly after the game. We will take less penalties. We will allow less great shots on net. That defensive style will really help Price. How do I think the team will place?: Anywhere from 16th to 1st. There have been too many changes to even guess. Who will be the next Captain?: Markov. (if he wants it) If not, Markov, Gomez and Lapierre where the A. General chat about the coming season: I am very worried about Price. He needs to get back his mojo. If Price looks good, we will look good. It is key. I have supported keeping Price in net, and letting him take his lumps. See if he can rebound. Some say he is broken. I do not. Regarding the captain, I wish Lapierre was one or two season further in his developement. I actually expect him to get better under Martin. My hopes are high because I see on ice leadership qualities in him. He is not ready this year for the C. I am very concerned about playing Cammalleri with AK and Plek. Unless they can pick up their socks, I see Camm becoming disgruntled. His production will go down playing with AK and Plek. He had Frolov feeding him, but specifically Iggy. If he doesn't play with Gomez, I am very concerned about his production. Plek has shown his flare in the past, and never stopped working. If he can find chemistry with Cam, that is the best scenario. I like Lattendresse. I know he is slow, but he is working very hard for his top 6 appointment. Give it to him. His numbers are good especcially when you consider who he plays with most of the time. I keep hearing how Max should be top 6. I think Max should get some more time in the AHL. Lats is a good hockey player, and will get better under Martin. He is our only hope for a full time top 6 power forward. Give this kid top 6 minutes. He deserves it. I would support having Max on the team, but his pro time is low and will allow him to come up and down without waivers. Andrei Kostitsyn. If he doesn't come out of his shell, I will be very concerned. We need him to wake up! wake up! Guys are going to hit you really hard. Don't let that stop you from using your talent. Be great.
  20. Saw it in a blog, but looked all over and couldn't find anything.
  21. There is no question that they were a better team with Kovy. It is now up to Gionta to prove they are now a better team without him.
