It felt good to sign that petition! I added the comment:
"1967 was a LONG time ago, Leafs fans...get over yourselves already!"
As far as the pictures of NHL stars in peewee...wow...Rick Nash was a porkchop back then!
-
I agree with KoZed's rankings, so no need to repost. You know, when I first opened this thread...I said to myself: just watch the blindly devoted Koivu fans posting up a five-star ranking on a guy who coasted on far too many nights after the Olympics. Sure enough....

Brian Gionta must be kicking himself for not going to arbitration, given what point-per-game type players have been awarded thus far.
-
Gomez is 5mil too....looks like that's the going rate for a good offensive player that goes to arbitration.
-
The Habs got a good deal....can't complain about 2.2 mil for your top goalscorer.
-
I don't know if Briere is worth 5M to this team....I'd pass and wait for a center with size to become available.
-
Brockville, Ontario
-
So we'd lose a 1st line winger, a prospect, and a first rounder to pick up a 1st line center....while downgrading on our blueline???? Doesn't make much sense to me.
-
I've always thought that Portland would be next in line.
-
Time for Ed to hang em' up....no shame in retiring due to a wonky back at his age.
-
Keep in mind, they don't have any 'hard' evidence on him. Circumstantial evidence and hearsay doesn't amount to much in court. If they had the 'goods' on him, they would have charged him by now.
-
I'm guessing 2.75M to 3M
-
Aebi isn't all that expensive...I like the security of having a proven NHL tender as a backup for the time being. Not worth unloading him for 'peanuts'.
-
Mike Milbury has GOT to have something incriminating that he's holding over this Wang character....seriously.
-
Pat LaFontaine resigned right after that press conference...can't say that I blame him.
-
That team is going to be in the toilet for a long, loooong time.
-
I'd pass on Anson Carter
-
Gotta go with Latendresse...only because he pretty much scored and hit enough to wow everyone last year at camp...so we KNOW he's capable.
-
It was 100% cheap shot.
Damn straight it was. An intentional elbow to the head or face is NEVER just 'part of the game'. :puke:
-
I wonder if BG could sweeten the pot with a draft pick and get Visnovsky out of LA...he's a guy that can make the perfect first pass out of the defensive zone AND is a PP specialist. 17G and 50A last season.
-
We definitely can't afford to lose Souray without picking up a defenseman with a big shot to replace him.
-
Just read this on the Canadiens homepage:
“We were looking to fill in the open spot alongside Mike Ribeiro and Kovalev,” said Carbonneau. “A natural goal scorer with a really good shot, Sergei knows how to get free and Ribeiro and Kovalev like to find the open man. They should be a good combination.”
Does this prove that Higgins, Koivu and Ryder will be the first line?
Not at all...it pretty much seals the deal that the line will be kept together, but they could find themselves being the second line if Samsonov and Kovalev are tearing it up.
-
Great move by Bob....a quality forward for a reasonable price AND for a reasonable term (rare with the UFAs this summer!!!). I think this move pretty much makes Kovalev automatic for 35-40 provided Ribeiro plays even halfway decent.
Also agree on the 'sink or swim' time for Ribeiro sentiment...if you can't produce with Samsonov and Kovalev as your wingers, you should probably prepare to play somewhere other than the NHL when your contract expires.
-
Please, Bob....make a lateral move involving Ribeiro next....unload another slacker!!!

Great breakdown of the tax situation, ADP. I remember during the free agent period, some people here were arguing that the higher taxes weren't a legit reason for some UFAs not wanting to come to Montreal. Perhaps you have opened their eyes to just how bad the taxes are.
