bayrider Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 MTL fans tend to blow things way out of proportion. 586383790[/snapback] I don't blame you. I'm one of those guys. If a player screws up in one game, i'll have a voodoo doll of that player made with pins in his brains. I'll wish for the player to get traded or executed. I guess it comes with the territory. We demand perfection. Richard, Lafleur, Roy.... we have a dynasty, maybe one of the best in all of sports history. So don't get mad at us if we get a little picky. I think we deserve it, especially after Ronald "McDonald" Corey single handedly ruined the franchise for a decade. althought many rumored players don't end up going to MTL, look at the leafs, i think they've more then blew things out of purportion, every big name that comes up is rumored to go to the leafs 586385125[/snapback] Ya, well most of the rumors call for French Canadian players comming to play for Mtl. I dont think we're as optemistic as Leafs fans though. At least its not like a Leafs rumor which sounds something like... "so and so wants to play for toronto because he loves the city and the fans and the team cause Toronto is the best and there is no greater honor than playing in TO!!!" LOL give me a break. There has been no honour for almost 40yrs. PS not trying to flame or anything, just adding some comic releif cause we all know its true wats with mtl fans hateing on leafs every year i mean it gets annoying after a while 586385637[/snapback] A friendly rivalry never hurt anyone. There are tonnes of them. Mtl vs. TO, TO vs Ott, Cal vs Edm vs Van, Det vs Col, Pit vs Phi etc... it makes the game more intense *edit* and all those Lecavalier rumors comming to Mtl should be forgotten Leacavalier re-signs with Tampa, 4yrs $27m NYI sign Brent Sopel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D1g1talMan Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Yes, the young guys in the system are very good for the flyers, and I can't wait for the Flyers/Pittsburgh games, I'll be at the first one. Toronto will have a tough time this year, but next year will be very good as you said because many contracts expire. Boston and Pittsburgh are in excellent shape right now, and Washington, is ... well ... Washington, always rebuilding :) 586366798[/snapback] Well, they wern't always...=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayrider Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Anson Carter signs with Vancouver for 1yr $1m. Pretty damn good price if u ask me. Also anyone else think Lecavalier making $6.5m for the next 4yrs is ridiculous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lecavalier is a great player, very exciting to watch but he's not a 50 goal scorer. He will definately get better, but he's worth about 3.5m max if u ask me. Not until he can prove himself, which i have no doubt he will. but its still to early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmengie Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 yup. my bad. i thought it was 6.5 total over 4 yrs, not 6.5 per year. yeah, that's a lot of cash. hell, that's more than i make in a week!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berdusco Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 From hockey trade rumors: Apparently the deal will involve the Canucks shipping Jovo, Cloutier, and Kesler for Florida's Luongo, Bouwmeester, and possibly Van Ryn as well. I really hope this rumour is true cuz Luongo is exactly what we need in Vancouver. Plus paying 4 million for Jovo who's been hurt the last two seasons hasn't really sat too well for me (despite his skills and talent). I think Bouwmeester and Van Ryn are gonna play solid D for Vancouver...but who needs D if you have Luongo as your no. 1 goalie. i think its a bit ridiculous but not entirely impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayrider Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 Florida would seriously be retarded if they really wanna give up Luongo and Boumeester. Seriously, these 2 are going to be top tier players in a couple of years. Much better than Cloutier, Jovo and anyone else they might trade for. Of course, i also think Mike Keanan is an idiot.
