Booche Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Fuck Ribeiro and his points. I couldnt stand that gutless puke. That trade was awesome as far as I am concerned. But I will point out an idiot. Eklund!The rumour flying around last night was Koivu, Halak, and Prospect for Perry and Schneider. Please. Anaheim is not making that deal.

Whitey Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I don't know anything about this proposed deal, but Perry is going to make some serious money soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I hate Ribeiro and think he's spineless coward too, but c'mon, how could you possibly defend that as a good trade?Janne Niinimaa?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 how could you possibly defend that as a good trade?It isnt if you want to get technical but I still consider it a wicked trade because he no longer dons the best team logo in the world.

Guest Low Roller Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Wow. Guy Lafleur slagged off Koivu, saying that he "isn't a franchise player" and that is was "time to trade him while he still had market value" (sic). The original article was posted in the Journal de Montreal. After his "four forth lines" comment and now this, the Habs are getting a bit more than they bargained for from their "Ambassador". Here is the translation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Guy has every right to his opinion but I don't think Koivu is going anywhere. I also don't think anyone has ever thought of him as a franchise player. He has a no trade clause and from interviews I have seen he has no interest in leaving. I like him, I have no problem with him in a Habs uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Guy is too high profile to be making these kind of comments because they draw a lot of unwanted attention. All they serve is to distract the team at a time when they are finally pulling themselves out of a rut. But I guess that it comes with the territory of playing in Montreal.Additionally Guy is being paid by the Habs to represent them in the community. I'm not sure what kind of representative he makes if he just moans all the time about the team. But it shows one thing- that Guy is still very passionate about the team and is frustrated by their ocassional ineptitude, as we all are for that matter... Koivu is a great playmaker, but I don't think he should be the star, nor should that expectation be put on him. He's one season away from tying the record for longest serving captain, but I'm curious to see if that or being chased out of town comes first with all the talk that's surfaced lately.

Booche Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I wish I was the one interviewing Guy because after he would have said that I would have asked:"So how is your loser son doing?"He's probably trying to take the media pressure off his family. Fuck'him Roller and stop worrying about it. You breed this shit as much as they do.But keep in mind that any trade Gainey can make to improve the team should be made without sacrificing the future too much, of course.

Guest Low Roller Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 The standings are crazy. I'm thankful that at least every team has gone through a rut, so the one that the Habs had (hoping it's over, knock on wood) didn't hurt them too much in the standings.I love this league because last year's bottom-feeder Bruins and Flyers are now icing competitive teams, meanwhile last year's dominant Sabres are struggling. This salary cap has made the entire league intriguing to watch and every single game means so much more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Guy has got to let it go. The Habs are not as bad as he as exclaimed. The league is different now. Franchise players can dictate more where they want to play. Montreal does not have the aura it used to have to draw players. Why [lay in the media pressure cooker of Montreal when yo can go to Colorado or San Jose.Anyway, I like what Gainey is doing. We are competitive and have some solid young players. Hopefully he will be able to draw a big name player here. We will just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that would have what relevance to the game being played on the ice? That's the kind of trashy comment that a 'journalist' would make that would drive most fans, like you, nuts!

Guest Low Roller Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 The game is too slow for me, but I get what you are getting at.

Booche Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 The Habs are going with the same lineup tonight as they did against the Laughs on Saturday night. Where's this guy when you need him???? I think in most cases an Olympic gold or world championship would be the most satisfying - more so than winning a Stanley Cup. But winning a Stanley Cup with Montreal Canadiens - that is the most satisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I just read the article - whats wrong with it? Fuck Im so sick and tired of my favorite teams being mediocre. I'd welcome a change in identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
