Nothing crazy about that. I'm a little more cautious in my optimism though. Let's start with a 20 goal season.

No ehjay, no. This is the website where the ONLY way to build a winner. The only hope we have, is putting all our faith, hopes and dream into some teenager from Russia. Kindly fall into line, we're supposed to tank around here.

Sounds dreamy!!! Ok, you just made my evening brobin.

I agree, and thanks to your work, I've learned about those young players we could draft. It doesn't change that they were close. And I prefer when they win.

Nobody expected anything. We were told the cut off date was December 1st. We just beat the Leafs twice in a row. And still play them 2 more times. This doesn't really need to be explained. Until they're mathematically out, it's ok to think about the possibilities. If I were you, I wouldn't admit you don't understand it.

You really can't understand how if they won a game this week they'd be 4 back. You really can't? That's all it was about. A miniscule chance. As the players, coaches and management don't give a **** about all this fantasizing about a lottery pick.

Good observation, RDS agrees with you about Bourque.

Dude, you come up with great one-liners!

You're right about that. Pierre Lebrun, before the game, mentioned AK isn't plan A, B, or C for any team in the league. Another one of our players nobody wants.

I don't know anything about that list, or that feature. The idea of an ignore list I find lame anyway. I'd never use it. I have broad shoulders, if someone doesn't like my opinion, I can take it.

When evaluating Gauthier's work this season, the acquisition of Kaberle goes into the reason for firing his ass column. That's how I feel about it. The trade was universally laughed at. As has been reported by so called insiders, who speak to actual GMs in the league. It doesn't, at least, raise the eyebrows of you Kaberle defenders? when it's suggested that not a single team would be interested in trading for him?

We could win this. Make up for that horrible effort vs New Jersey. But I do expect Ryder and Ribeiro to have fun tonight. As per usual, we'll need a big night from Carey Price. Win, 4 back.

You both make convincing arguments for Kaberle. But I'll say this. If you play GM, would he really be on your team? He certainly wouldn't be on mine. Like the coach Martin debate, it seems people defend just for the sake of defending. If we're selling, Kaberle is the top of my list to sell. Trouble is, I believe there's something to the notion that nobody is interested.

DON, absolutely, Kaberle is an NHL player, whereas Darche could be playing in Europe next season. The reason why the rest of the league allegedly laughed at Gauthier for acquiring him is his cap hit. When you factor in the big pay raises some of our young core players are due to receive. Feel free to dismiss what others say, I often do myself. This is a trade proposal thread, and according to these insiders, any trade proposal involving Kaberle is a waste of time, because nobody is interested. If that's true, it works out well for you, because you like the player anyway. My personal opinion? I would have preferred to keep Spacek and his expiring contract, and have that money to spend this summer. I'm not all that thrilled with his play, and the occasional point he chips in. I suspect you DON have a harder shot that Kaberle does!

DON, you're a glass half full type of guy, I love it. But there's a reason why nobody is interested in Kaberle. It's not because we know something that the rest of the league doesn't.

Sorry, but that made me laugh, moving Darche. If there was a 12th round, we wouldn't get that for Darche.

Actually, another win would put them 4 out, with 2 games remaining with the 8th place team. See how that works? Until they're mathematically eliminated, this talk is going to continue. It has no bearing on tanking or selling.

I'd add Larry Robinson as well

The mood on l'Antichambre says it all. Had to have this game.

Is that true? Devils 12-2 last 14 here in Montreal? That is domination. Brodeur's had an incredible career vs our favorite team.

Obviously making the playoffs is next to impossible, as the cutoff date was December 1st. But I'll say this. The Leafs and Capitals are not exactly grabbing the bull by the horns. That point total needed for 8th might have dropped.

JC? Maybe you should fire off a few emails. Bertrand Raymond, Ron Fournier, people like that need to hear from you.

Excellent post from The Cucumber. In my opinion, the top contributor speaking honestly about hab29, who in his own way, is a must read as well. The only problem with Kaberle, is the one we all know. He's a luxury we might not really be able to afford. It's his cap hit going forward. It's all about Gomez. Lose that contract, everything else falls into place.
