alexstream Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 yes, I believe both the NHL and the NHLPA scrapped the recall rule because players were left to rot in the minors and teams were penalized for recalling a player. I think the rule still stands, but the criteria have changed... the guy has to earn more than 95k in AHL to be eligible to waiver re-entry... something like that.

sakiqc Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Traverse on waivers? Glad the nightmare didn't last long. It's nothing personal, i wish him a great career in the AHL. He has great size and speed but he doesn't belong in the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I never had nightmares but hey he's Hamilton's problem now right? (Hamilton is the AHL team right?) He'll teach the kids down there NOT how to skate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad he's back !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Captain Kirk? I bet that guy hasn't been back to Montreal in ages. Heck I didn't even know he was Canadian until I looked him up on IMDB. Speaking of Canadians that I thought were americans Norm McDonald. I thought he hates Canada but yet when I listen to a game on CJAD he's always doing commericals for Boston Pizza (i think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMAC Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 (edited) This was a panic move by BG but all it may cost in the long run is money. I doubt Travesty has a two way contract. Bite your tongue. Bob doesnt panic--at least he hasn't as GM yet--of course Patrtick the pylon has a 2-way. As many predicted he was and will probably remain cheap insurance. Pierre, the reaction you saw from the fans here was not panic; it was the flooding back of semi-repressed traumatic memories. As a relatively new fan, you missed the horror that was the Houle era. For many of us, the mere mention of PT's name conjures memories of horrible seasons best forgotten and game-losing defensive lapses of the most egreious kind. Ugh, just writing about it makes me feel slightly ill. I'm going to look at the new roster and lie down until the memories fade again.

Pierre the Great Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 ah yes I know the feeling. Its like old bad news in your life coming back into it. Like an ex girlfriend who has dirt on you. The Norm commerical is something about food I think. I dunno but I heard he hates the country but then his brother works for CBC so that must be an odd christmas gathering. lol. Poor Norm's brother he didn't get the hair in the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Habby2919 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 The last time I saw Norm was when he did the Beaver for the cellphone playoffs commercial. :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Love Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 i don't know why people are making a big deal out of this he was never going to play a game with us as streit was going to be the 6th guy, and by the time someone gets hurt, Cote was probably going to be back At least now our farm team could get a big stronger Actually our farm team will be worse off with Traverse. This guy is awful, but you will have to watch him for a few games in Hamilton to realize it I suppose. As many predicted he was and will probably remain cheap insurance. Insurance is supposed to be something that helps you in case of disaster. The only way I would see him helping us is if he was the guy taking the players sticks and giving them a pat on the back as they come into the dressing room between periods...however they already have that guy and there is no way that TRaverse is ousting him from a job either. Anyway, it's done and overwith now, he is Hamilton's problem for now. I'm sure he won't last there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iron Lung Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Maybe Bob Gainey has a twisted sense of humour and signed Traverse so that he could put him on waivers. Maybe he has a vendetta against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs rule Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 OK, how does this help the team. I don't see any intellegent posts from anyone about how great this guy is, or he really makes a big difference to get Montreal to the playoffs. Easy to sit on a fence, harder to take a stand. Your faith in Gainey is a bit misguided as he is not perfect. hamilton needs help on defence we need someone to call up in an EMERGENCY seems simple to me.

huzer Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Please, I pray, just let the Traverse bashing die. My lord, talk about much ado about nothing. Habs fans not only get pissed that he was signed while the team was going through injury troubles, now they're pissed about him playing on a farm team that has zero dman depth. Give it up, think of something else to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
