Ok, that made me laugh, as I was sipping my large double/double, nearly lost some of it. By the way, I'm 0 for 6 on roll up the rim. Lovely.did you click on google images
-
Me too, I actually google him, as I've never heard of that player.I was a little slow on the up take there haha
-
A deal is possible. That question was asked on local radio to McGuire. The team trading for him would have to be assured the injury was minor. The usual physical, plus all the pertinent info about the injury. In other words, full disclosure.
-
Think craigslist, not Habsworld...Elaborate? We got puck movers.
-
That would suggest he's paying for a sandwich. He has several Italian joints who "advertise" on his program. They probably comp him free food.And? Did Schwartz's forget to giveTony Marinaro a dill pickle with his smoked meat sandwich?
-
If that's true Commandant, you're good. I love the clip, shows he actually cares.He was smashing his stick on glass and didn't see the coach there. 15 seconds before it happened he was highsticked on the ice and the ref missed it.
-
It's about the annual hit. If he continues to score 27 goals per year, his hit is good. And we save money. The savings does help us be contenders in the next year or two, if you believe we've under achieved and can improve with intelligent moves. I don't think you believe that, and you're certainly entitled to your opinion. You might prove to be right, and we'll lose for years to come.I don't really understand the cap space advantage being talked about. Bourque and Cammy both make $12m. Cammi's contract is done in 2 years. We're stuck with Bourque for 4. Do you think that extra $3m of cap space would really help us become contenders the next year or two ?

Another stellar -2 from our stud on defense, Mr. Kaberle. He's up to, or should I say down to -7 in 33 games. But I figured out why many of the same people who want to tank defend this useless player. With him playing, that lottery pick isn't such fantasy after all.
-
We've gone over Kaberle and that trade since the day it happened. I won't repeat the leagues perception of it. Sadly though, perception fits reality in his case. For those who defend the trade, you're in luck. As this week we learned that not one single team would call if he was made available. So we'll get to enjoy his 40 or so assists, and minus play, next season. Also, I posted a while back that without Gomez, Kaberle's contract becomes easier to accept. I too, am in agreement with Mr. Cucumber.
-
Why did you type umm? But more important, our power play is still horrible, and near the bottom.Umm the power play is better now than what is was before him...
-
Ya, but he's -5, and was brought in to help the power play and didn't. The value in Specek was his expiring contract. If we kept Spacek, our power play would be the same, and we'd have that money to spend this summer. We could have possibly flipped Spacek for a draft pick as well. The problem with Kaberle goes even deeper than what Mr Cucumber points out. All that, and we're not even looking into how bad he plays on the ice.
-
Pierre Lebrun said he wasn't plan A, B or C. More like plan F. Let's see if Phoenix actually offers something. I'd hate to lose AK for nothing this summer.
-
These Capitals are ripe for the picking. I suspect we'll win, or at the very least get a point.
-
Get used to it. It's called reality. Unless they start Budaj the rest of the way, and start sitting the core of the team, they're going to compete and win some games. I'm not going to waste my time thinking what might or could be. I'm still going to enjoy it. I've never once questioned the common sense approach that the organization needs to take, the one I believe you called your vision. Anyway, Caps tonight? Hope we win 5-0, with players like Leblanc and Eller playing significant roles.Deja vu, all over again! I believe on this board we are all pseudo managers to some degree. I like to believe I am. I deplore waste whether it is opportunity or my kids reluctant to eat their vegetables. I believe to succeed we got turn over all the stones better than the next guy. The competition for success is off the ice as much as on it.

No offense taken. This isn't the first time this has come up. The players and coaches won't give up, and I hope they become spoilers, and give the younger players a chance. And hopefully some wins in the process.If you read Dlbairs post he clarifies were we both stand. I agree with him. I singled you out because I had applauded your wisdom previously and pointed out that I don't agree with anybody all the time, and pointed were I disagreed with you. I appologize if i have offended you. I just don't agree with you.

Who are you telling to watch and learn? If it's me, you're taking this site too seriously. You're a nobody, a zero, so are we all. You've added nothing to the discussion by saying take care of assets, move veterans, look at kids. That's obvious common sense. You singled me out for thoughts on another thread. Like dlbalr backed me up on, it's about the players, who are playing to win. I never suggested hang on to vets, trade youth for rentals, all in the hopes of eking into 8th.You can play as hard as you want. Look you are not doing very good this year. Take care of your assets. Move some veterans, look at your kids otherwise you will be doing the same thing next year. Watch Stevie Yzerman and learn.
-
I give up. It's not a vision. It's the fundamental of sports. The team plays to win. If you don't understand that they're not following your vision, there's not much to say. Your vision is not all that deep. We get it, finish low, hope that the team selects a great young player. I'm not against that.Au Contraire: I never accepted your vision of what we were doing on that narrow pathway any more than you accepted mine
-
It just hit me...Gomez and this years 1st for Carter. If they're planning on also parting ways with Nash, they'd be the rare example of an organization that needs to reach the cap floor.
-
Sure, if he's available, which doesn't sound Yzerman like, why not? I'll say this, that deranged, psychopath expression he get's on his face looks like something a veteran player might laugh at. I could picture someone like Jeremy Roenick say "dude, pour yourself a chamomile"
-
BlueKross, I've never done that my friend. All I've done, on the other thread, is continue to look at the possibilities. Because that's what the players, coaches, management and ownership are doing. They don't care about people's fantasies about draft day. And please, if you don't mind, getting a high draft pick isn't the only way to build a team. If we fall lower in the standings, great, I hope we select the player who has the best career. But we all know that even the first round can be full of duds. Like Benoit Pouliot.
-
I found what Vincent Damphousse said on l'Antichambre interesting about Gomez. He's ok with Gomez playing now, before the trade deadline. While he's virtually impossible to trade, how's the time to showcase him. But, after the trade deadline, play the younger guys. No point in having Gomez twirling around, avoiding contact.
-
Perhaps off topic, but if they unload Carter and Nash, is there a reason why that team is even in Columbus? Sorry, but that's a college sports town. Anyway, how about this years 1st for Carter? Some on this site would go into cardiac arrest.
-
I'm with Commandant on this. AK's gotta go. It stings a little because he's homegrown. And I've always questioned how the team has handled him. For example, I sorta hoped that playing with his brother would create some Sedin magic, on a smaller scale. Also, Commandant is right about the Kaberle comparison, as I'm one who believes he blows and is paid too much. A raise for AK would be ridiculous.
-
His cap hit isn't going down, his actual salary is.There is no chance in hell the habs will be able to move gomez this season, they must wait for the offseason when his cap hit will go down to 5 million and hopefully trade him to a bottom feeder who need to add cap to reach the limit. that is your best bet of moving gomez, that or dump him in the minors.
