Guest Low Roller Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hmmm... Eklund has ranked Mark Streit as the top UFA D-man of the summer. Second year in a row that Gainey has to deal with situation, with Souray last year. In retrospect Gainey was a claivoyant genius regarding Souray... Let's see what his crystal ball and tea leaves tell him about Streit... Flash in the pan? Top offensive D-Man for years to come?Here's a good article regarding next year's salary breakdown to see how much Gainey can afford to spend on Streit, and a preview of Gainey's summer...

Hal Johnson Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Me too...Whether people are bitching about Price or our wasted scoring chances I still enjoy every game we see. The Habs future is bright.Couldnt agree more. Price is only gonna get better, which is pretty scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 You’re blindly genuflecting at the feet of an untested rookie who is playing shit hockey right now. You hope he can only get better. There's no guarantee AT ALL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hope he can only get better. There's no guarantee AT ALL. There is no guarantee but at least he works at it and has improved and won championships and MVP awards while doing it the last two years in a row. kinda makes you think he will keep getting better. but hey keep talking shit all you like. you seem to be full of it and have to get rid of it somehow.

AD Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 how is that 'talking shit?' it's fact. forget the emery sentence (which wasn't a comparison of the players, but a comparison of their hype) - what's wrong about what I posted?every player is supposed to get better - some do, some don't.

Tissue Man Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) how is that 'talking shit?' it's fact. forget the emery sentence (which wasn't a comparison of the players, but a comparison of their hype) - what's wrong about what I posted?no one outside ottawa had hype for emery.. no one guaranteed he is a gonna get better.. your words. The only fact is he has been steadily improving over the last two years and winning championships doing it. of course there is gonna be some hiccups along the way.. and no one is genuflecting, yeah i had to look it up.

badams Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 every player is supposed to get better - some do, some don't.I agree with you 100%. As a habs fan I am going to have faith that Price does get better and live up to his hype.Just as a Sens fan would have faith in Spezza or a Leafs fan in .... Oh wait. lolAnyway, every great player starts somewhere. I am hoping Price is one of those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 no one outside ottawa had hype for emery.. Sure, because the Hockey News, Hockey's Future and the ISS are all Ottawa-based and know little about rating prospects, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 For tonight: - Little Tits is a gametime decision. Ryder in if Sergei can't play.- Breezer in, O'Byrne out.- Carbonneau won't say who is starting until gametime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 So this co-worker was getting all lippy and in my face about this series. I asked "Oh yeah? You wanna back that shit up? I got 25$ that says Les Brahs win it.""Done. You are going to lose your money Bouchard."I should have went for 50$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
