  1. With respect to Habsfan24...al of us should ban this bar.

    BTW I would strongly suggest writing the owner a letter. Explaining that you spent money and your dispointing experience was shared with your friends that all agreed they would never eat there again etc. I guarantee the place would compensate you. (you have to specific with the date, time, table etc.) I bet the waiter was friends with the guests and would surely get put in his place by the owner.

    Owners want to know if you feel mistreated and do not want any bad stories of service going around, regardless of what team you root for.

  2. If we are talking about underrated then I have to choose D'Agostini. This guy has been on a tear lately and has a fantastic eye for the net. He has a hat trick in tonights game. I think had he a hat trick a couple games ago too. For an AHL rookie he is really turning heads.

    BTW the Bulldogs game is on the NHL network tonight.

  3. Rivet's saved money will go to Markov. Niinimaa's will probably be used up by the small raises due to our Young RFA's. The only way there will be cap space is if Souray is allowed to walk. Plus Bonk and Johnson will probably not take paycuts to stay with the Habs. Don't count on Kovalev retiring as part of an offseason plan.

    I guess we will have to wait and see.

  4. 1. If he is forced to retire because of a medical condition, then his salary would not count against the cap.

    2. Only players who sign a contract at 35 yeards old or older count against the cap if they retire during their contract. (See Malakov and Snow)

    That's what I meant. and Mogilny?

    Even if he signed the contract after 35 then Kovalev could be exempt from the cap if it is proven that he is cannot play because of his health. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto.../BNStory/Sports

  5. I for one hope the Habs resign both Bonk and Johnson. I would expect however for them to take reduced salaries as they are great shut-down players. (Both guys were considered Selke candidates at the halfway point in the season) I am all for giving rookies a chnace but lets not go overboard. A lot can be said for experience. Imagine a couple injuries and you are suddenly replacing Chipchura and Grabovski with locke and Ferland :blink:

    Money will be saved since Rivet is gone. Niinimaa gives the a couple more million. Replacing Abby with Halak save another million. If Kovalev does have to retire then the Habs can get his salary back ala Lamoriello style. That is a lot of money to resign Souray and markov and still dip into the free agent market.

    We can also be sure Downey is a goner....and the cap is going up again!

    Just listen to Ovechkin:

    WASHINGTON POST: Tarek El-Bashir reports Capitals superstar Alexander Ovechkin points to his club's recent 8-game losing skid as further proof his team needs more depth next season to be competitive. "We need players. We need help. We are young, that's why we need guys who have experience, guys who [have played in the] playoffs. Sometimes experience wins the game", said Ovechkin. El-Bashir said Ovechkin's comments reflect a growing opinion amongst the club's core players. Ovechkin acknowledged that owner Ted Leonsis has promised management will increase payroll for next season to bring in some veteran talent.

  6. A good leader but he was caught in a numbers game. He showed us way too many times that he was having difficulty keeping up with the speed of the game. That being said I would have loved him on the team as a 3rd pairing, hard-nosed, leader that makes half as much money as he is.

    A good addition for a playoff run which is what the Sharks saw.

    The reason Rivet is getting 24 mins a game is because he is on the Sharks 1st powerplay unit and getting 5-6 mins a game on the PP. Carle is only getting half that! We see this often when players get traded. The newly acquired players are always given a chance to shine to prove to fans their worth. Time will tell how Rivet fairs and if he gets re-signed.
