Very good sniper, but I beleive we needed a real powerforward with skill & grit (hmmm very very hard to find!). Did you see the price to pay for a UFA Hossa?? Imagine also the negative change/chemistry in the dressing room...Expectations are the greatest source of pain they say...Bob shouldn't have gone public about an Impact Player, but Atlanta changed their demands in the middle of the day. À propos de Huet, it was a shock, especially that apprently it was only Washington that had interest (hence the low return). It's a roll the dice sort of situation. Brzygalov 3 years 12 M$, Huet's big payday would have got him at least 4,5M$/year so they knew they weren't signing him + their objective is to make the playoffs (which im sure they can with Halak/Price). They could have lost him for nothing or give Price the net now. Either that or Bob got screwed big time. Anyways i'd rather keep the core and trade next year, but at one point it should be about the cup, not only the playoffs...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10482335842288123238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296810343773285264.post-58265762009078549772008-02-27T15:20:00.000-05:002008-02-27T15:20:00.000-05:00hey guys, ill have to agree with Sal on this one.....hey guys, ill have to agree with Sal on this one...not that Karl said anything wrong. but we needed to pick up something yesterday..vaclav prospal?? i dont know maybe its just my bias but i hate that guy, not to mention i cant remember him doing anything when he didnt play with Lecavalier. now was the answer hossa? i think he would have helped but i guess i would not have wanted to give up what pittsburgh gave up for him...wow they got murdered i think. so where was the middle ground? i know that Karl you said with Gainey he looked everywhere and went through all the options but it doesnt change the fact that he promised us someone, gave us nothing and then said "oh its cause i beleive in the team" it seems like a cop out to me. but what do i know. where was marleau and jokinen yesterday, maybe they didnt move because their price was too high also i cant say. what i can say is that after yesterdays deadline the montreal canadiens are the same if not worse off than they were before. the only thing giving away huet did was give Price the chance to be a number one goalie, at 20 years old!!!! thats young and you guys know that. hes not Patrick and these fluky young goalies are a rariety. and if it does happen, IF it happens, he may go too high too fast and then be ruined for a long time...Cam Ward, and Jose Theodore to name a few. Theodore more because we all know what this city can do to a player.vin914https://www.blogger.com/profile/07861731534501442602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296810343773285264.post-70748451912578257622008-02-27T03:09:00.000-05:002008-02-27T03:09:00.000-05:00Congrats Karl on popping your HabsHockeyTalkey che...Congrats Karl on popping your HabsHockeyTalkey cherry...it took you time, but you held out for that one special someb--eurh, article.<BR/><BR/>Listen, I want to make it ABSOLUTELY clear that I am NOT losing hope in the team in any way, shape or form. In fact, losing hope in them is impossible, as I've poured so much time and care into them since the age of 7 really. All I'm saying is (as you pointed out) they need secondary scoring due to the fact that teams are FINALLLLLLY catching on that Pleks, AK 46 and 27 is our top line, and they are checking them much more effectively lately, and the deadline was the simplest way to do it. We've waited over 60 games for Ryder to get going, and one outbreak in a miracle NY comeback still doesn't cut it enough for me to pour my trust into him again. We could have acquired a decent secondary scorer, a la Vinny Prospal for example, and taken a much needed chance on him for what could have been a prospect and a pick, not affecting the chemistry (CH) whatsoever. But, what's done is done - ironic, as nothing is done - and they still won 5-1 tonight, which does go to show that this team is in it through thick and thin, and seem to be ready for the playoff gauntlet. They've (for the most part) come up together through the years through the same farm system, so the comradery is there. A message was passed today by Gainey, indirectly, saying: I acquired no one, because I know you guys can do it. Now, they have to make sure he doesn't look like a fool, which I very much so believe they will.<BR/><BR/>The intrigue of a Habs/Caps first round series has me by the brain right now! I would LOVE it!Max Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549942784222728519noreply@blogger.com
