Ribeiro to Ryder Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 ok I was the guy that got baned a coupled of years ago for being a dumont "groupie". I am sorry for all that stuff but I am a habs fan so don't ban me again, I love this team and what you have done with this kick ass forum. This will be the last thread I make about Dumont so please don't get mad. I am just wondering what everyone on here thinks about this guy. would you have him on you're team? why? why not? Obviously I would because I am his biggest fan. All I have to say about him is watch him play before you say he's a bust or he sucks! He hasn't lived up to third overall statisticly but he is still a good player. Just wanted to know if people would want him on the habs and what would you give up for him? remember I love the habs don't ban me! last dumont thread I SWEAR!

Les Habitants sont la Seems to me that Dumont is a Zednik-type of winger, with maybe a little more creativity, but also much more injury prone.

Ribeiro to Ryder Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 YAY YAY YAY you didn't make fun of him lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan88 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Ah, I remember you. Well R2R, All I can say is that YES, Dumont is a solid player. He has not lived up to his 3rd round pick expectations, but that is the Islanders fault for picking him that early and I also don't think any team in this league would not accept him on their lineup. He is 27 and he has yet to really have a BREAKOUT year but it could come any time soon because different players have different primes. If a trade were to happen between Buffalo and Montreal, my opinion is that Dumonts value is probably a third liner and a solid pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Nobody made fun of him last time, it's just that EVERY SINGLE post you made was about Dumont. That was trollish behavior. It seemed like all you cared about was spamming the boards with Dumont posts. Anyways, welcome back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMMR Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I have always enjoyed watching JP play. He is exciting and works hard for the most part. I have also seen him make numerous mistakes and loose his confidence for long periods. But this happens with any player who does not fully reach their potential. I would take him on the Habs he usually works vary hard and is fairly intelligent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortcat1 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Dumont is a very good player who hasn't yet put together what he was expected to do. By the way, habsfan88, Dumont was a 3rd pick overall (1st round) by the New York Islanders. His main weakness was that he was supposed to be a slow skater but he took speed skating lessons from some woman skater which was supposed to have improved his foot speed. I don't know if it did. Bottom line... I trust that Bob Gainey will NOT trade for him. :hlogo: :king: :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 It seems like I found someone close to my age. Anyway, Dumont is a good player. If he can play LW he'd be a great fit for our second line. I never knew he was drafted 3rd overall but then again so was Bonk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribeiro to Ryder Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 whats wrong with having one thread about him?? and in fact I have maid a couple that were in Habs talk a couple of days ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revvvrob Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 i've always liked Dumont - thought he was underrated as a player (overrated in the draft, though) he brought a lot to the Sabres lineup. I don't think he fits in Montreal - but he's certainly someone I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) whats wrong with having one thread about him?? and in fact I have maid a couple that were in Habs talk a couple of days ago! 1) your earlier antics are not forgotten. 2) People don't usually make a whole thread about a player unless a)he plays for the habs and has either recently underperformed or overperformed B) plays for the habs and there is some sort of injury news c) is a major star and there is some sort of injury news d) is part of a trade or trade rumour, usually to or from the habs e) at least has some sort of recent occurence involving him that hopefully in some way relates to the habs. None of the above applies to Dumont. It would be different if it were any other poster, and even then I'd wonder why the thread exists. This is, in total, your 4th or so thread about Dumont. It's ridiculous. Many of the people on the team have favourite players, many of them play for other teams. There are people here who love Jagr, Nash, even Kaberle etc... but you rarely hear about it cause it's not chat worthy. I have a soft spot for Bryan Berard, I like Cheechoo and Tootoo and although I dont need him on the team, I still like Yanic. Question: Did anybody on this board know about this until now? No. Why? because it is irrelevant. I think I once mentioned over the offseason that Berard was an available UFA, that was it. I seriously doubt anybody noticed... but that was at least someone relevant to the habs. Edited January 4, 2006 by simonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribeiro to Ryder Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) whatever man, this is my first about dumont as r2r. At least I admited I was wrong and one thread isn't going to end the world. You don't have to be all anal about this man Edited January 4, 2006 by Ribeiro to Ryder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribeiro to Ryder Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 if you live in Ontario, watch Dumont tonight. 7:30. He will be getting limited ice time as this is just his second game back from his sports hernia injury (which he recovered from far quicker than expected) but he is fun to watch regardless of ice time. He is a great player and maybe people will see what I mean by that tonight after he scores 18 times on Belfour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
