He's a vegetarian now so it will be awkward at the team barbeque, trade him. He's not mean enough.

meh ... i've come back from worse
Well we were not sure we could steal one in Carolina so this is a pleasant surprise. Welcome to the West, preacher man!
-
Enjoy! Oh, when you get back you won't recognize the Habs!

Count of hands... who thought that the Habs would even look remotely like this a month ago??
:hlogo:
If this is it, there'll be but six Euros playing in our first game.

Did you also hear Martin say that he prefers to think of forwards as 2 man units with the 3rd man being a compliment depending on need e.g. size, energy, etc...
Support this philosophy over chaotic juggling, coach keeps a couple of guys together then experiments with a banger / defensive specialist / go to the net guy in the third spot as needed. This allows the main pair to develop chemistry.
-
well - to be fair, JLP needs every day he can get to figure out what lines to send.
My endeavors must be redoubled, so long as one Staal remains healthy.

in the latest sim (#23), the calendar is wonky no? opens on May 30, one day before game two . . .

Priceless:
Kralikov is too soft, the Canes are not concerned."Marc Staal (CAR) suffered abdomen injury during the game in an incident with Miloslav Kralikov (EDM). He is expected to be sidelined for more than a month. We have to play as a team in my absence. We're not playing the system right now and we're only playing 40 minutes of hockey every night, while the other team is playing 60. That's not good enough. I hope we get it in gear by the time I return, he said as the trainers examined him."

***Ben Eager beat Francine Lessard in a fight***

hmmm - looks like depth with be challenged this playoff ...
i just lost Marc Staal, JLP just lost Michael Frolik
Payback's a bitch. Miroslav gets an extra rack of ribs tonight! CAR has crap depth on D, so we'll take the trade. This series is getting ugly . . .
Two Staals down, one to go . . .
-
that's ur comeback? picking on a 4th line rookie? who'll never be more than a cheap 4th line faceoff specialist???
much stronger to point out that it was 'soft' Kralikov that put out Marc Staal for the remainder of the playoffs!
what you said.
-
Kralikov is too soft, the Canes are not concerned.
In the dictionary, if you look under "soft," there's a picture of Mathieu Perreault.
-
Hoping Kralikov can injure three Canes . . . The emergency room is open late so no prob with the delay Mike.

Btw, sign and trades don't happen, anymore. That is pretty much the most classless thing a GM can do to a player.
So Bob is hamstrung by class hehehe. Anyway I recall when Komisarek's mother passed away, George G and the organization put Mike on a private jet to fly home, the club gave him time to deal with his grief, I think that was class, that was good. But contracts are another matter, they are about keeping the rights to a player you drafted and developed for years and years. You know hockey is a business, do we want to win by approaching it as such or are we satisfied to lose with class? And I don't think many posters are bitching about "everything" Bob Gainey does, I for one am very focused in my criticism of his policies. He's just another part of the team I've loved for years and years, he's not infallible, certainly not above reproach.
-
again can someone tell me how they know that Komi would have signed last year? He has a shark for an agent who sees ufa coming up and he sez let's sign with Montreal right now cause if you have a banner year we could get 6 million but f that lets sign for 3 now. yeah I can see that.
Don't get me wrong I don't like Komisarek so much. But it was at least possible he would have signed an extension if he'd been approached during his last year. Agents like to take their cut when they can, if there's money on the table they will sit down and negotiate. I dunno about $3m, that seems low, but I expect he would have signed for about what he's worth now. Then at the very least we could have picked up something in return if/when we traded him. Keeping the rights to a young player is important business management, and IMO that is probably the biggest thing that Gainey has failed at.
Also, I'm a freelancer, and tell the truth I feel anxious when I don't know if a contract will be renewed or not. That sort of uncertainty went through much of the Habs roster last season, so no surprise we didn't see the boys playing as a team.

Is Jarome suspendable?
Fischer out 21 days, below the minimum so I think not.

29-5-2012 Jiri Fischer injured.
Jiri Fischer (EDM) suffered leg injury during the game in an incident with Jarome Iginla (CAR). He is expected to be sidelined for almost a month. I hit a bad patch of ice, and it's not the first time that's happened here. The league should do something about this Arena, he said from the locker room after being helped off the ice.
:lool:
we came back from 0-3 ... this isn't a problem
heck, i didn't even send in new lines!
Hehehe gloating after a loss i love it!!!
Revvv, you seem to forget the Oil also came back from 0-3 this playoffs. Being ahead is nice though. As for the cheap shot and bad ice, Fischer was not getting really big minutes, plus I expect an Oiler will mess Iginla up pretty good next game -- we shall see sir.

I will never understand why we call this loosing assets for nothing. We just replaced the 32+yo assets by 27 to 29 yo assets without paying anything.
In my opinion, losing assets is principally not negotiating extensions. Eg., one year ago, sign Komisarek to a new contract (but this is a practice which Bob famously "does not do"). Now, if we don't want Komisarek anymore, we trade him for something else. He was a top-ten pick just coming into his prime that is a solid asset, Gainey screwed up big time with that.
-
I don't like the use of the word "idiot" in the title but otherwise yeah Gainey went his own way, we trusted him, pretty well gave him free reign to implement his 5-year plan, and it failed miserably. If you are going to maintain a unique management style and business strategy, it had better eventually pay dividends. Gainey did but it didn't. So what's next? Fire him? Would the new owners step in and do that anyone think? I reckon with the flurry of UFA signings Gainey bought himself about a six-month grace period.

The last question awked by Landsberg to Cammalleri was: "how long will it take for the montreal media to snap pictures of you exiting a nightclub?"
And he said never!!
Poor guy, he has no idea what he's getting himself into!!! It's so cute! He's soooo naive!!
It is a bit funny but I hope he just wants to play hockey - nothing naive about that he's getting millions to do so . ..
-
Bob was waaaay too late with the offer of a contract extension, which Komi would have certainly signed one year ago or during last season. So, here is a stubborn, dumb policy that has enabled other teams to poach our assets. Thanks to mismanagement, there goes a top ten pick for nada.
-
If it's G+G on line one and Lats gets a shot on the LW, he has to crash the boards and force some turnovers, I hope uses his size more aggressively!
-
If it wasn't for his palette, we would have been 0-214 the last 2 seasons
I agree to a degree, but it seems wordsmith Colin was talking about Kovy's smell . . .
I didn't like your pallette.Not liking warrior Kovy's armpit gusset is understandable.
But I always admired artiste Kovy's palette.

Assuming we've the usual day off so Wed 20h00 (Mtl time) is the finals' game one -- Revvv, two days to do your thing (pray).
