The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 (edited) First, you can't expect to be able to trade garbage. That Bulis is a decent, hard working hockey player is precisely what makes him one of the few Habs other teams might be interested in at the moment. Second, I hope I'm wrong, but apart from last night, this guy has never shown any ability to hit the broad side of a zamboni with his shot. As a finisher he's a joke at the NHL level. This makes him a tease, because he IS able to generate chances...he just can't do anything with them. So he's a third-line player in a top-six forward's body: basically, a Patrick Sundstrom with a bit more zip. And he's never, ever shown anything more than that, on any consistent basis. So I say, trade him, with regret, but make sure you get either young talent OR a gritty character guy, a la Martin Lapointe, back. (The only question mark I have about Bulis is the slim possibility that he might find some kind of reasonable scoring touch as a centreman; so it would be worth putting him at C for a few weeks, to see if he maybe does have some actual, rather than merely illusory, offensive upside).

ch_nl Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 This is odd. I didn't listen or watch the game and the last thing I heard of before I went to bed was that Bulis was going to sit. The last thing on my mind before my eyes went into REM was about Jan Bulis and a possible trade. When I woke up and turned on the TV it was about Peter Forsbergs injury and Jan Bulis. 4 goals?! Wasn't he supposed to be a healthy scratch?! Anyway... What is this about? Did Gainey had a done deal, Souray got injuried and Bulis played. Bulis scores 4 goals and it would be impossible for Gainey to trade Bulis after such a game. He won the game almost alone... 4 goals or not I like the fact that Bulis is still a habs. He had a great year in the Czech Republic and he took it with him. He's developed nice over the years he's been in Montreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanpuck33 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 "I had a meeting with Bob and he told me I wasn't playing. Then I came back in the afternoon and he told me I was going to suit up. Luckily, it went well for me." - Canadiens LW Jan Bulis after scoring four goals against Philadelphia. I don't like that attitude. His playing that game went well for the TEAM, not just himself. Perhaps these guys need to learn what it means to be a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalHab Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Showcase that, b*tch. Good one, BTH!! "I had a meeting with Bob and he told me I wasn't playing. Then I came back in the afternoon and he told me I was going to suit up. Luckily, it went well for me." - Canadiens LW Jan Bulis after scoring four goals against Philadelphia. I don't like that attitude. His playing that game went well for the TEAM, not just himself. Perhaps these guys need to learn what it means to be a team. I think there may have been something lost in the translation here......He was smiling from ear-to-ear and joking around with his teammates after the 4th one, and most importantly, his teammates seemed to be genuinely happy for him.

I LIKE that attitude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
