TSN will be broadcasting the Glendale city council meeting

Wat

More exciting than a Coyotes game...

Bryz and Smith only good because of that snoozefest of a defensive system

 

[KingHenrik30]

Him and McIlrath were best friends & roomies

Thomas was in NY this week for Rangers prospects camp

 

[Red_Man]

He is Steve Thomas' son. He's not big, but he's a sniper. 50 goal season in the OHL. Had 19 last year for Hartford. I was really high on this kid. RW.

Here is a hi-light video from his draft year:

Kristo played with boy Kreider and Stepan on the Gold Winning US junior team in 09

Reading up on him feels a little better but I'm still confused. If this is a result of the shit he got into last year then Bealieu can kiss his ass goodbye.

Whoa now... RT @aaronward_nhl Sources saying Dallas Stars no longer believe they are in contention for Lecavalier. #TSN

Then again.. Aaron Ward... Iginla to Boston.. not!

Hearing the #Rangers traded Christian Thomas to #Canadiens for Danny Kristo

Wait. What? Who the fuck is Thomas? Fuck this.

I knew Kristo was never part of the Habs' plans. They'd have brought him from college sooner if he had been.

 

[Red_Man]

Here's a highlight reel of Kristo :

Really good hands, great playmaker and pretty shifty, I was hoping he could make his way on the Habs top 6 this year.

I knew Kristo was never part of the Habs' plans. They'd have brought him from college sooner if he had been.

Except for they have no voice in the matter? Kristo choose to go back to ND because he grew up as a fan and wanted to win a championship there and finish his schooling, Habs couldn't force him to leave it was his own decision.

I believe Thomas is an NHLer for sure. His size is his only knock. Rocket one-timer is Stamkos-esque. Would have challenged for a spot on the Rangers this year.

Son of Steve Thomas? I'll take it.

That's good to hear I guess, they seem to be similar players, although Kristo is a better play maker then shooter but not a big guy either. Habs just must not have been impressed with some of his off ice issues.

 

[KingHenrik30]

What wing does Kristo play?

He wanted to stay to keep fucking co-eds. No surprise the Habs dumped him. Has skills but I think his work ethic and off ice antics are highly questionable. Don't know jack shit about Steve Thomas II, but I'll take it.

OH SHIT

 

[Red_Man]

Ward just said Dallas considers themselves out of the Vinny sweepstakes

 

[Crazymoogle]

OH SHIT

Map consulted. Turns out Texas was not as close to Florida as first thought.

 

[Solo]

We traded an undersized forward who may never be an NHLer for an undersized forward who may never be an NHLer.

Lateral move at worst, I'd say.

:lol seriously? Him staying isn't an issue, but I trust Bergevin and Timmins if they didn't believe in him, especially Timmins who has always been about character.

 

[Samyy]

Dreger confirming Dallas is out

 

[Kave_Man]

Vinny is going to Montreal for 8 years. Book it!

 

[Solo]

Vinny is going to Montreal for 8 years. Book it!

Nope, it will be the Bruins. Fuckers.

 

[Merguson]

I think any team in the west is out... I remember David Poile suggested to the media that Lecavalier wanted to stay in the East..

Nope, it will be the Bruins. Fuckers.

It'll be the Leafs.

Acquire all the French-Canadians. Bernier, Gauthier (supposedly Bergevin wanted him) and now Lecavalier.

...

...

Watch it be Florida.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Vinny is going to Montreal for 8 years. Book it!

THE KITTY HAS SPOKEN

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Goddamnit we're gonna end up with an overpaid Vinny aren't we... :\

 

[Red_Man]

Vinny is going to Montreal for 8 years. Book it!

The city will have a parade just for him coming, 5 years is still too much imo, but if we can trade DD / Pleks for a winger and bring in VL I'd be happy.

 

[Curufinwe]

Son of Steve Thomas? I'll take it.

The son of Michael Nylander is apparently the top prospect for next year's draft.

 

[Solo]

I see Thomas is 2 years younger than Kristo and a higher draft pick too. Interested to see what Thomas does in (presumably) Hamilton next season.

How the hell did we not get Viny?

Because you're Dallas

Hope Shero didn't give him a NTC and ships his candy ass to Phoenix.

Not enough money brah.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

NTC become invalid after a trade iirc.

 

[yankeehater]

Are you going to get Center Ice so you can watch the Flyers games?

absolutely

Are houses still dirt cheap there ? I was shocked what you can buy there when I looked some time ago.

We were tempted to move but I don't know if that's the kind of place I'd want to raise a family in.[/QUOTE

yeah we got a place with 4 bedrooms and a pool for 15 what we would have paid in Philly.

 

[DopeyFish]

I think that's only if you waive it. Once its waived, its waived forever.

SUCK IT DALLAS.

You are no longer on my most hated teams list!

 

[yyzjohn]

Fine I only apologize for Dopey.

 

[Red_Man]

Rangers Mod on Hfboards says Thomas has 30 goal upside as a pure sniper, so this makes me feel better.

 

[Cake Boss]

Calgary Flames ‏@NHLFlames 6m

The #Flames have signed @TJGaliardi to a one-year, $1.25 million contract.

lol after his last tweet you would have thought he would sign for at least 3 years.

 

[DopeyFish]

Fine I only apologize for Dopey.

You have an avatar of rob ford, who cares what you say?

 

[Kifimbo]

Well, that's a strange trade.

Not really. Back in September 2012, Bergevin said this:

You can't always blame immaturity. If he wants to have an NHL career he'll need to make the right decisions.

Writing was on the wall.

Are mods on that site scouts?

 

[Red_Man]

No, but I assume he knows a hell of a lot more about Ranger prospects then most keyboard warriors do.

 

[yyzjohn]

Sure but its a quasi naked Ford that counts for something

 

[Curufinwe]

It smells like Philly are offering Vinny more years & money than anyone else. Since he's only 33 I wouldn't be surprised if they offer him a six year deal with as much money up front as possible with the idea that he would retire before the final season.

All the offense they can ever want, and still no defense or goalie.

Which one was it? I'm on there, some of those guys know what they are talking about, some don't.

However I would concur with what that guy said. As I said before, his size is what holds him back. If he was 6-1 200lbs he would have been a first rounder.

 

[Red_Man]

Canadiens are out according to Kypreos, must want too much term.

BB v2 0

Bergevin has made comments about Kristo's character and maturity in the past, they must have been really unimpressed when he came up for his stints with the Bulldogs this past season.

 

[ZeroGravity]

I can see it being Boston at this point.

Goddamn that would suck.
