Bahahahah what a team

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Detroit sucks.

You have had a bigger chip on your shoulder against us recently than usual, did Holland go to your house and murder your dog or something? Also Datsyuk laughs at your statement.

What a line to be on for your first time in the NHL.

I really, REALLY hope he succeeds. Need more Swiss players.

I will have to like Detroit now...

@TSNBobMcKenzie: Swiss sensation Damien Brunner, 26, expected to line up with Datsyuk and Zetterberg in DET. Rookie Gustav Nyquist staying in AHL - for now.

I hope he succeeds too

Seriously though, him and Z had amazing chemistry together playing in the NLA with Brunner leading the league in points and also second behind Malkin in points for all players playing in other leagues. I just hope he can make a successful adjustment to North American style ice and continues to tear it up, having D also pass to him will be great too.

*Stares into the distance like Shatner in Star Trek 2*

BABCOCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully it won't be long before someone unimportant is injured and he is called up to play past Emmerton. Him and Tatar need to be full time next year though or else.

 

[Razorskin]

I hope Bryz goes down so they can go with Boucher & Leighton.

 

[Curufinwe]

..

Rather him as backup than Leighton.

 

[Kifimbo]

Oh snap !

Scott Gomez won't be on the ice this morning. He's not injured. Uncertain future with the Canadiens.

Possibly back to Alaska according to another MTL journalist. Another is saying Gomez asked to go back !

EDIT: Bergevin to speak to the media in 15 minutes.

 

[Rand0m TAG]

del zotto agrees to terms with the rangers. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=413435
hopefully that sets the table for subban

Oh snap !

Told the Canadiens have unofficially released Scott Gomez, sending him home.

Two weekends in a row I wake up feeling like completely shit and get some of the best news ever.

Gomez: So what are you going to do? Buy me out?

Bergevin: No Mr. Gomez, I expect you to die.

 

[Rand0m TAG]

Montreal will buy out Scott Gomez's contract this summer. He will not play for the team this season.

Noooo
Nooooo

I want the lulz!

 

[jello44]

Rather him as backup than Leighton.

I'd rather them sign Shoot R. Tuter than have Leighton as a backup.

 

[Kifimbo]

Noooo
Nooooo

Well, the lulz here is the Habs will still pay Gomez and he'll still count against the cap this year.

 

[Red_Man]

Gomez: So what are you going to do? Buy me out?

Bergevin: No Mr. Gomez, I expect you to die.

:lol

They didn't even give him a try out at camp, I ALMOST feel bad for him.....then I remember he scored once in a year getting paid $7 M. Friedman said it could be they don't want to risk him getting injured and not being able to buy him out next summer, which makes the most sense.

That leaves us with one more amnesty buyout. Who should the other be used on?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Emery's new lid is amazing. I don't want to post Ward''s abomination.

Edit: I also like Clemmer's new red pads.

 

[Cake Boss]

Bitch should have scored some goals instead of coasting and mailling it in.

 

[Red_Man]

Depends on how Kaberle and Bourque play. Basically whoever plays worst will get hit with it. I'm hoping Therrien can kick both their asses into gear though. No one should feel safe now that Gomez isn't even showing up to camp period. I'm legit surprised they're pulling this, I didn't think Molson had it in him.

 

[Kifimbo]

Staying home, getting paid, count against cap and compliance buyout in summer.

 

[Red_Man]

Bergevin just said the best way to prevent him getting injured is for him to not play.

 

[Revenant]

That is a fantastic mask.

shit, thats amazing.
wonder if price will wear his assassin creed helmet

 

[Cake Boss]

What if he gets injured playing street hockey?

 

[Razorskin]

shit, thats amazing.

Now I have to see this.

Gustafsson, SHAVE THOSE GOD DAMN SIDEBURNS.

 

[Red_Man]

Dude's going to sit on his ass all year and make $5.5 M, what a joke.

Bergevin said he has no intention of trading Subban, and talks have been good.

 

[Kifimbo]

After the good news...

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun

Things can change on a dime, but told things aren't close on the Subban contract front

 

[Kifimbo]

Haha, it's funny to hear Bergevin using Pleky and Noky to talk about Plekanec and Nokelainen. Instead of the 'Mister Plekanec' and 'Mister Nokelainen' used by Gauthier.

 

[Red_Man]

Bergevin is keeping it classy refusing to say Gomez is playing like dog shit.

 

[Cake Boss]

"@TheFourthPeriod: According to a source, MTL had been telling Gomez all week to prepare for camp. He knew a summer buyout was possible, never expected this."

Classy indeed.

That's Gauthier level of classy.

 

[Razorskin]

Bergevin is keeping it classy refusing to say Gomez is playing like dog shit.

Yeah, we've been paying him for years to not play hockey. This time he just won't be on the ice.

 

[Red_Man]

"@TheFourthPeriod: According to a source, MTL had been telling Gomez all week to prepare for camp. He knew a summer buyout was possible, never expected this."

Classy indeed.

That's Gauthier level of classy.

Obviously not intentional, I didn't even know you couldn't use the amnesty if a player was injured. It's good thinking on Bergevin's part.

Also Darche got an invite to the Devils camp :lol that will help them in the playoff hunt

 

[Plinko]

"@TheFourthPeriod: According to a source, MTL had been telling Gomez all week to prepare for camp. He knew a summer buyout was possible, never expected this."

Classy indeed.

That's Gauthier level of classy.

Although, to be fair, didn't Gomez do basically that same thing to the organization when it came to his play on the ice?

 

[FOOTE]

Elliott's new mask.

Same guys are doing Halak's mask, still waiting for it to be shown off.

NHL masks and pads put my shitty gear to shame.

Does anyone have Hiller's mask? His are always great.

gauthier's level of classy would have been to tell gomez that his taxi is waiting while he is celebrating his 1st goal (and that he would have to pay the fare)

 

[Cake Boss]

"@TheFourthPeriod: Told Del Zotto's 2-year deal is worth just over $2.5M per

What a steal for a 40 point Dman.

Or maybe this is what's to come with the new CBA and the lower cap limit, reduced salaries and contracts.

here you go

I think they didn't have all the details of the new CBA, thus if he gets injured, getting bought out would be impossible. so no, I think they did the right thing.

 

[Red_Man]

Gally playing with Eller and Gionta in practice hhhhnnnnnnggggg

 

[FOOTE]

here you go

Just as I suspected. Awesome. Thanks.

 

[lamaroo]

Yes!

Gally playing with Eller and Gionta in practice hhhhnnnnnnggggg

Nice, although as bad as I want to see him play, and Eller with great linemates, I don't really want them to waste a year of his ELC on a 48 game season.

 

[Red_Man]

He's toying with teams in Sarnia, I think it's better for his development at this point. It'll be a great precursor to him playing a full season next year.

Tim Thomas told Chiarelli via his agent that he wants to play next season. For now he's suspended.

[Kave_Man]

Sounds good to me.

Yup, we'll see if it lasts though. But would be nice for the first time to let the youngsters develop, keep drafting and then shoring up what you can in free agency.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Very good morning so far. Just need Subban signed now.
