I don't believe any rumors coming out of Mtl, the media here is as bad as Toronto when it comes to making stuff up.

Besides, doesn't Gainey have a nice track record of pulling deals that nobody saw coming. Everything he did in Dallas. Kovy, Theo. Although, I did see that one coming, just not for Aebi, that was a complete surprise.

Same for draft picks, expect the unexpected with BG, that's the only guarantte I have with him.

Why would we be getting Bertuzzi the dumb ass who as a reputation of being hard to coach. Besides, he comes with a lot of bagage and bad publicity. Didn't we just get rid of an over-priced distraction in Theo, why bring in another one?

BG is purifying the clubhouse from the trouble makers, no way Bert is coming here.

Gainey trading Theo to Colorado for Aebischer was a surprise? It was the biggest rumour of the year and never went away. Everyone kept saying that is was so well-known that it wouldn't happen because BG always surprised us. In a way, it was so expected that it surprised us when it happened.

Trading Theo to Colorado was not a surprise for some, but it was for many, and getting Aebi in return was a complete surprise. Is name almost never came up in the rumors. It was all about Tanguay, Hejuk, Liles, etc.

How many of you defended Theo all year long on this board calling me all sorts of names (including your self) saying that he would not be traded (the rumors were non-sense) when I was right all along. And now, it wasn't a surprise to you? How quickly you forget when others are right and you are wrong.

I'd like to remind you that even during all the peoples blasting of my opinions and name calling on this Board, I've been right almost all the time, and I've never rubbed it in peoples faces, but if you're going to forget that you were part of that group, then you leave me with no choice to remind you of the facts.

Errr... when did anyone "call you names" for saying Theo would get traded. At the time, the rumour was a bit forgotten because Theo had gotten injured. I can't remember if I said he would get traded or not but if I said that he wouldn't then it doesn't mean the deal came out of nowhere. It would be the equivalent of Gainey going and trading Aebischer + 1st rounder for Lecavalier - you don't think it'll happen but you knew all about the rumour the entire time - hardly a surprise.

And about me bashing your opinoins but you being right. The only things I ever bashed you on were Ovechkin being better than Crosby, Tampa Bay being a bottom seeding playoff team not the amazing team to beat thanks to the new rules and that I'd rather have Redden than Chara. After a season goes by we can see that I am, so far, right on all 3 accounts. But I guess I shouldn't remind you of the facts and hurt your ego.

BTW.. my post before wasn't bashing you, it was just saying that the Aebi trade rumour was beaten to death before the trade happened and wasn't completely out of the blue. You're just a little sensitive. This post, however, is intended to bash your post.

Many people called me names, trust me on that one. "Mathieu 30" or something being on top of that list. Many were saying how great he is and that there was no way he would get traded, including you (so 1 argument that I was right over you). As for the Theo talk, I'm not even talking about before the trade deadline, I'm talking about way early in the season when everybody was defending poor little Theo because he was having a bad start and everyone was saying that he would bounce back, what a bounce he did alright, all the way to Colorado.

So, anyone disputing the trade possibility at that time was wrong (like you) and ended up being a nice surprise for them. Got to put things in the right perspective before saying it wasn't a surprise.

Your "equivalent" comparison is so not equivalent, I don't even why you brought it up. Everyone knows that Aebi will be traded (not everybody was agreeing that Theo would be traded), no comparison possible at all.

And you know what, if that Lecavalier trade happens, it will be a surprise because people don't believe in it. Its not because you ear about something that its not a surprise. A surprise is when something happens that you were not expecting, go look up the dictionary if you need to, it would be good for your education and understanding to know the proper meaning of words to avoid conflicts.

As for our other arguments, how easily you assume you are right. The Ovechkin-Crosby debate is far from being settled. Why would Ovechkin be better? He only got 4 pts more then Crosby, whoop ti do. Crosby is 2 years younger, much more impressive numbers for a 18 year old kid that had the pressure of being the next Gretzky and having to save a concession vs. no pressure for the 20 year old Ovechkin. Many specialists say that Crosby makes his linemates better, not Ovechkin, he's more of a individualists. I my book, Crosby is the better player (not more spectacular which many seem to be hanged up on), but the better player. So sorry but you didn't win that argument, only in your mind. Since I'm the grown up here, I'm willing to be nice and give you a tie. Anyways, not much difference between the quality of the 2 players. I don't get why your giving your self that one?

As for the TB argument, agreed, you were right on that one. There, not to complicated to admit a wrong.

As for Redden over Chara, again, calm down, who's asking the highest salary between the 2, thank you, its Chara. Honestly, there's is not much difference between the 2 and this is something that many peeople and experts are divided on, who's the better of the 2. Honestly, it's not an argument that anybody won, although I prefer Chara over Redden personnaly. Tie once again.

So stop taking credit for things you were not right, you didn't win anything, in fact I'm more right then you are, but who's counting, so lets calm down and be realistic here. Typical know it all reaction from todays kids that can't admit when they are wrong. How society has changed

Trust me, my ego is far from being hurt, especially not about stupid hockey arguments. When you will be older, you will realize that there are much more important things then hockey.

BTW...my previous post was not insulting, nor was I offending by it, but merely correcting your false post that it wasn't a surprise. Like I said, the dictionary proves me right on that one, so don't argue about it. Funny how people are offended when they are wrong and somebody points it out. Its a fact, learn to live with it, because it will happen many more times in your life like anybody else. I admitted about you being right about TB, I'm not offended or dead because of it.

Geezz, drop your old gruge against me, it would do you some good. I've tried to be nice to you, but you seem to be a little stuborn about old arguments. I posted about your good analysis of your mock draft. Unfortunatly, because the posts were removed due to its unpleasant contents, you're probably unaware that I defended you from some of Kaos bashing on you a few weeks ago.

Anyways, can't you bury the hatchet? If not, please stop commenting my posts, we would be better off. Thank you.

Come on KtC, if I am #1 on your name-calling-list then that has to be one very short list. I only commented once on one off your posts, halfway november, after you called theo "shit". Théo earned 5+ millions so he had to steal 82 games. His Sv% was below .900

I was wrong using the T-word. I stated it was way too early to write Théodore off. You disagreed. That was all. One T*bernak.

Pretty scary, if I'm that #1 on your list.

Nicely said!

I see the Toronto articles and have a good chuckle. In particular when JFjr opens his mouth about the Leafs and says nothing, priceless. I love his: "we are going to address our options and sufficiently improve our club by managing our resources bla bla bla" I sometimes wonder what I am listening to.

This board has educated me on how bad the Media is in Montreal and I would never have thought anything was as bad as T-Dot. I was wrong and proved wrong with that (NASTY WORDS) person who took the photo of Saku in the hospital. NO RESPECT!

since when was this a war or something? It's not defending someone from other people's bashings (He wasn't bashing me - he was disagreeing. You're the only one who actually gets excited enough to actually bash people) just to get on their good side. I don't care if you like my mock draft or not. Stop "trying to be nice" to me. You don't have to post nice stuff just so I'll like you. You don't even know me - why should you care less what I think about you?

"Your "equivalent" comparison is so not equivalent, I don't even why you brought it up. Everyone knows that Aebi will be traded (not everybody was agreeing that Theo would be traded), no comparison possible at all."

Not everyone knows that Aebi will get traded. Read the threads - there are still a few who think we will keep Aebi in case Huet is a one-hit wonder. They are 2 similar situations.

About Crosby-Ovechkin. The actual argument was you saying that Crosby deserved rookie of the month when he only had 2 goals scored and a couple more assists when Ovechkin was dominating on a worse team.

About Redden being better than Chara? While Chara choked in the playoffs and Redden was a star. Chara is one of the reasons why Ottawa will never get anywhere - he's another Alfredsson and Hossa that stopped a star-studded Sens team from winning several times. Redden also has the leadership and better work ethic. Plus, he actually plays clean and is a class act.

"Pretty scary, if I'm that #1 on your list."

Yes, mathieu, it is pretty scary.

anyways whatever... if you want to answer this post then go knock yourself out... or you can stop shaking that paranoid little head of yours and stop thinking that everyone is out to get you. ciaooooooo
