  1. Why promote Latendresse? He has no points and is a -4. Maybe they're trying to increase his numbers quickly so it doesn't look like a horrible mistake having him in the NHL. He should be in junior playing 20+ minutes per game.
  2. No matter how good a team is, they'll lose 20 games a year. Buffalo is more than due. In baseball, people go on and on about the unbeatable Yankees, but they still lose more than 60 games a year.
  3. If you're not playing to win... go home. Way to go Janne! If you don't think you can win then why would you play.
  4. I get RDS in P.E.I. as part of a French package thru my digitial cable. The approximately 10 french channels cost, in total, less than $5. We get all of the Montreal games on this channel. RDS as a stand alone channel was $2.50.
  5. I hate the Leafs because I hate the Leafs. It was a trait I was born with. There's a reason I chanted Guy, Guy, Guy at the television when I was six and not Darryl or Lanny. At present, I hate the Leafs mostly due to their fan-base which is largely blindly-arrogant.
  6. It was a great interview. Saku is such a likeable guy. He's been thru all of these personal hardships and still has a big smile on his face. For those who didn't see it.... a sample question was... when was the last time he cried.... it was when his son was born. Great answer!
  7. Kovalev - 69 pts. Koivu - 67 pts. Ryder - 61 pts.
  8. Maybe Bob Gainey has a twisted sense of humour and signed Traverse so that he could put him on waivers. Maybe he has a vendetta against him.
  9. Cristobal Huet. Thank heavens we have David Aebischer to fall back on.
  10. Good riddance to bad rubbish! Welcome Janne Niinimaa!
  11. If Latendresse doesn't come out firing, he'll be back in junior and Kostitsyn will gladly take-over. Regardless, injuries will happen and guys will get in the doghouse... there's always room for players.
  12. I'd be surprised if he isn't back in the QMJHL in a few weeks time.
  13. Ridiculous! I'm shocked that he still has a chance at an NHL job. Let alone with Montreal... I thought Brisebois was the king of give-aways until I saw Traverse for a full season. Yikes! I thought Bob was smarter than this but I guess he wasn't around when Traverse was.
  14. I always hate posts like this. Who cares who was taken around him. It's all a crap shoot. If you look the other way, these guys were taken immediately before him. Ryan Stone, Loui Eriksson, Mike Egener, Konstantin Glazachev, Vojtech Polak, Kevin Klein, Kamil Kreps, Tim Ramholt. It doesn't prove anything. No one has the crystal ball. Urqhuart has skill but hasn't turned out. Most don't.
  15. Are there even 10 superstars in the NHL? Seriously. Superstars!
  16. In 397 matches in the NHL, all with the Canadiens, Ken Dryden had a 258-57-74 record and a goals against average of 2.24. He tied more games than he lost! Crazy!
  17. Bonk is a solid player with lots of skill and he's good in both ends of the rink. He's big and does what needs to be done. He was hurt last year and that, in turn, hurt his numbers. I see 41-50 points if he gets 15 minutes per night.
  18. Washington 10th! Yikes. They are far from just getting out of 15th place.
  19. It's all crapshoot and opinion. The only difference between your opinion and his is that he gets paid and published. It still doesn't mean they are ever correct.
  20. Anyone remember Stanislav Neckar? It was pronounced Nes-cash. Even Brett Favre. The R sound before the V. Huh? But the best person to get the word from is Plekanec himself. It's a done deal.
  21. Just an FYI, even if they had a certificate of authenticity, that doesn't mean a whole lot. I could print off a COA from a printer and sign it, but it doesn't make the item more real. It's all about who signs the COA... not if there is one. The seller would probably have to put up some info about the auction where he/she got them from.
  22. Look at the positive... it forces a prospect into the line-up so we can see if he's ready and see if he has real potential. It might have been the best thing for other guys from previous years like Hainsey and Beauchemin who seem to be coming around in other organizations once given a legitimate shot.
