  1. Still a bad trade (Ballard) regardless of how the assets turned out to be because they had real value at the time. Much like if one trades all of ones picks and a given year and those picks turn out to be all busts. We’ll have to agree to disagree.
  2. Would depend on if McCann keeps scoring as he has for the Pens. Five goals in thirteen games. And that’s not even considering the high 2nd round pick we gave up.
  3. Nah, he clearly is expected to score goals as well. Did he crap the bed in Boston? Sure, but he wasn't the only suspect. When your team only scores three goals TOTAL in the three away games and zero goals in the game 7 at home, there's only so much blame you can put on the goalie. He still managed two shutouts in the Finals.
  4. Pens have this guy named Letang. He'll offset the weaknesses in Guds game.
  5. He makes pretty much peanuts on an expiring contract. Plus we didn't give up much of anything for him. He couldn't fit in the doghouse anyhow as Schaller took a BIG dump in it.
  6. He isn’t. If anything, Guds often gets on when EP on the ice. Green hasn’t upped his minutes significantly with our top two guys out as well.
  7. Paul Reinhart was THAT good even when he was at the end of his career here. Course there's NO WAY the Flamers would have traded him to us if he was still in his prime. Still, it almost came to bite the Flamers in the butt as Reinhart and some noname rookie (Linden ) almost upset the Flamers in the post-season (in fact, the Flamers cheated in the final game of the series in OT as Otto kicked in the winning goal). Yes, THAT was the year the Flamers won the cup. A Paul Reinhart in his prime + Guds would make for a very good D pairing.
  8. John Garrett almost won the "MVP" of a NHL allstar game once (ask him he'll tell you! ). I remember Jovocop 'shutting down' Eric Lindros in the post-season when Lindros was in prime beast mode (I think Ed was a rookie at the time)....I thought, boy is this guy going to be a great defensive defensman when he gets to be in his prime (strength, compete level, etc.,). Then he 'went the other way' where his he developed further his offensive abilities.
  9. 2-3 years time? Green has him as our #5 right now (and he gets that ranking based on average TOI by default as the alternates are pretty bad). His ice time hasn’t changed significantly when our top two guys are out. Being physical doesn’t mean much if you bleed goals against.
  10. Gaunce, in three NHL games has more goals than Schaller. If you can’t outscore an offensive black hole like Gaunce, you better be elite defensively. Gaunce is one of our better forwards on the Comets this season so he deserves a call up (my opinion). You reward guys that still have some upside for that. Send down the guy that has been essentially coasting during the regular season (we already have Ericsson handling that role, don’t need two guys like that).
  11. My value judgement. I call it disgusting when you can insert a guy from the Comets like Gaunce (who isn’t anything special) and yet it would be an upgrade. A replacement level 4th line winger should never be given term. Waste of a contract slot.
  12. Disappointing? Disgusting is more like it. Absolutely zero reason to have him here rather than Utica.
  13. Never has the overused phrase: "Physician, heal thyself" been more appropriate (re: Katz).
  14. http://www.jennymccarthybodycount.com/ To think of all the bodily fluids I’ve wasted err uhh doing something to images of her without any clothes on. Ok, I used to be a very shallow person. (I’ve gotten worse with age )
  15. A good idea especially if you're using the Expo/Mill. skytrain. I'm guessing they're still using Dos 3.1 as the operating system.
  16. I gotta move to Red Deer because of....catfight!
  17. I tried putting Alf on a leash but ended up attracting the wrong type of people...
  18. City council too busy trying to save the world.
  19. Alf invites all to his house to celebrate his “snow”....
