The Leafs just blew 800k/yr (I believe...that was his qualifying offer...) on a 2 year deal for Wade fucking Belak. How stupid are they? That money would be better spent towards a real forward, not Belak!

from Rotoworld Wade Belak has re-signed with Toronto.
It's a two-year deal. No financial terms were announced. Belak had 2 points but 109 penalty minutes in 34 games in the 2003/2004 season. His only value is in the penalty category. Aug. 10 - 4:34 pm et

you need utility players

you can't play with an all-star team, not anymore

Its Wade Belak. He is not much a of a "utility" to any team. Someone like kevyn Adams would be a much better fit.

 

[DopeyFish]

Sources tell TSN that Lindros is undergoing an MRI exam, and if everything goes to Toronto's liking, Lindros will sign a deal with the club.

TSN.ca

 

[Kabuki Waq]

ugh

WASTE OF MONEY! (if its at the 1.7 mil plus bonuses that its rumoured to be)

sign mogilny or someone instead!

 

[Malakhov]

What will you do in january when you'll only have Sundin left as a center when Allison and Lindros are sidelined due to another concussion?

 

[Malakhov]

March 7 - missed 8 games

Dec. 29 - missed 2 games

Jan. 14 - missed 4 games

March 4 - missed rest of regular season

May 27 - didn't play again until Oct. 2001

Dec. 28 - missed 4 games

Jan. 28 - most recent concussion

 

[DopeyFish]

turek retires

cloutier accepts qualifying offer =p

 

[Malakhov]

Cloutier is a joke, the 'Nucks should of signed Khaby for the cup.

 

[Malakhov]

Don't know what the fuck the 'nucks are waiting. He's the only cause the team doesn't have a stanley cup yet.

 

[Mike Works]

Signed Khabibulin with what? Monopoly money? I swear to god, some of you people in this thread

 

[Malakhov]

Haha, read a good one on the hfboards:

"What happens if Lindros and Allison bump into each other during practice in some sort of freak accident and land on Belfour's back head first?"

Mike: By trading and getting rid of some salaries, you know, kind of what the flyers did to get Forsberg? Who cares if you have Morrison, Bertuzzi, Naslund and the Sedin twins if you have Cloutier in nets.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

yea Cloutier is to the Canucks what Tim Cheveldae was to the wings in the early 90's.

 

[DopeyFish]

and while all this occuring mogilny starts laughing his ass off and falls on the floor and breaks his hip?

 

[Kabuki Waq]

is Potvin still on the MArket?

 

[Malakhov]

and while all this occuring mogilny starts laughing his ass off and falls on the floor and breaks his hip?

:lol :lol :lol

Dopey makes a funny about the leafs, end of the world coming!

Trade WHO? Have you looked at our roster? If we manage to sign all of our players at the minimum they're going to get, we're still hovering right at the cap AND we don't have a complete roster unless we have at least 2 junior manitoba moose players on our roster for the full season- and that's if everyone miraculously stays healthy.

Sure, we could value and assess the entire team's payroll infastructure, but why do that when we can all be retarded like you!

MONTREAL SHOULD'VE SIGNED PRONGER, NIEDERMEYER, FOOTE, FORSBERG, PALFFY, AND PECA BECAUSE ALL OF THEIR FORWARDS MINUS KOVALEV AND ALL OF THEIR DEFENSEMEN ARE THE ONLY REASON THEY HAVEN'T WON A CUP YET

AND THEY SHOULD PAY THESE FREE AGENTS WITH POUTINE SO THEY STAY UNDER THE CAP I'M AN INTERNET GENIUS

 

[The Bookerman]

yea Cloutier is to the Canucks what Tim Cheveldae was to the wings in the early 90's.

Better yet: MIKE LIUT with the whalers...

the guy with the ugliest mask EVER:

Cloutier sucks ass.

Go get a better goalie.

i hope you arent dissing Poutine. I would work for Poutine ! Hell even poutine is too good for Cloutier.

get rid of cloutier and keep giving kids from junior a try.

 

[Malakhov]

Mike, this is just for you:

Take a look at it, because with Cloutier in nets, you won't ever see one in Vancouver.

At least I got to see it here.

And about the Habs forwards, we didnt have to sign anyone, especially Kovalev. I'm happy with Zednik, Koivu, Ryder, Ribeiro, Bonk and Perezhogin. Theodore is just icing on the cake...

Take a look at that trophy too, because I don't think a Canucks goaltender will win one anytime soon.

those are some nice third line players.......if they played anywhere other than MTL.

 

[Malakhov]

Too bad they're still in their 20s minus Koivu and Bonk.

LEAFSOWNED.

yes they will have great Darby Hendrickson level Careers i am sure.

The jelousy is burning me ALIVE.

 

[Malakhov]

Yeah, too bad Ryder got 25 goals and 38 assists while playing on the second line in his first season and Ribeiro got 65 pts at his first real NHL shot. That's Hendrickson level careers right there.

Also, I will take a Koivu, wich is a second line center, who outshines and shutsdown Thornton, who is a first line center, where it counts the most in the season...the playoffs kthxmuch.

Poor leafs fans, it's like kicking a dead dog around.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

you would take Koivu over THorton? you think he was the main reason THorton was shut down?

damn ppl call Leaf fans delusional.

 

[Malakhov]

I said in the playoffs, where the season counts. Koivu has 34 points in 40 playoff games.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

and honestly only a cowardly team with equally Cowardly and prideless fans would flaunt an injury faking pansy like Ribeiro.



you think i forgot?

 

[Malakhov]

At least with Ribeiro we'll fake the injuries, you wont fake the concussions.

 

[Malakhov]

 

[Tedesco!]

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Kabuki Waq]

typical Gutless response.


Fans like you who condone players faking injuries cheapen the game.

 

[Tedesco!]

At least the Leafs would earn their inuries, right? None of this, "I have a headache" stuff.

 

[Malakhov]

Don't worry Kabuki, you guys will at least have some good draft picks in the upcoming years. You too will be able to have a young and exciting team... after a good 5 years rebuilding plan. :lol :lol :lol

 

[FightyF]

Hahah, nice!

Anyways, Thibault is a great pickup for the Pens, especially since they only gave up a 4th rounder. Going to be very interesting to see the Pens this year! Coyotes and Pens both got my attention.

Note that both teams are in my fave teams list. Seriously, Detroit seems to be the weakest of my faves. I think they are going to throw this year and grow the next. I had this feeling ever since I heard the good news of Lewis heading out. Which is why I picked other teams as faves too

Plus, the Oilers and Coyotes have been under-rated on these forums for the past year. They deserve a lot more attention. Pittsburgh also ended last year on a high note, which no one really aknowledges. I didn't expect them to make this many good moves during the off-season (well, active off season ).

 

[Malakhov]

'Yotes will earn respect this year I think, they have quite a team now.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Don't worry Kabuki, you guys will at least have some good draft picks in the upcoming years. You too will be able to have a young and excting team... after a good 5 years rebuilding plan. :lol :lol :lol

err we had 260 goals last season and you guys had 220. We were an offensive minded team.

well i guess if you think getting outshot every night is exciting than i guess you have an exciting team.

but obviously since you enjoy your players faking injuries and shit i shouldnt really consider you a real hockey fan anyways.

 

[Malakhov]

That was last year. You guys no longer have Nolan and Almo and you have 2 new injury plagued players who might not even play all season long. You're in for a shock. Especially with the more open play, Habs offense will run circles around some teams, they have quite the speed upfront.

 

[FightyF]

'Yotes will earn respect this year I think, they have quite a team now.

Yeah, it's obvious now...but they were thought of as crap prior.

*expects response, "But they WERE crap prior!"* :/

I thought Cloutier was improving and did awesome for the Canucks. He was great during the regular season last year and during the playoffs as well. I'll agree that he has been shaky before, and I think it's his history that tarnished his image. Most people dissing him have been blind the past year I guess.

 

[Malakhov]

I bash Cloutier for Mike, it's all in good fun. Look at his posts, that's why I said hockey threads werent the same without him

 

[SantaC]

Alexander Steen, signed with leafs. Nice move.

Oh ok heheh. I'm usually involved in political discussion (of the international variety*) and I usually don't tolerate comments that aren't accurate

I'll have to change for the hockey discussion threads.

*had to say that to sound geeky

 

[Tedesco!]

Alexander Steen, signed with leafs. Nice move.

Yet another good move for the Leafs. I would like to see them add more to their D, as well as pick up a replacement for Eddie (to groom, if you will) or at least find someone to replace Tellqvist.

 

[calder]

The Oiler's continued inability to even make the postseason, of course. :lol

What the hell? Are you serious or what? Or is your memory that bad? Seriously.



Are you now going to tell me to show the 6 years prior to that?

Wow
That canuck record is embarrassing
Looks like its going to continue seeing as they still havent replaced ol clutch.

haha.. owned. Silly Canuck fans

All I see is that since the new millennium, the Canucks made the playoffs exactly twice as many times as the Oilers. As math doesn't seem to be your strong suit, I suggest you bone up before hitting the links (again) next April.

Man, fuck the Blues. The only team I hate nearly as much as the Leafs.

Man I hate the Canucks. Ok, not really, just pathetic Leaf-hating Canucks fans!

Yes! My favorite set of androgynous hockey twins sign new one year extensions!

What will you do in january when you'll only have Sundin left as a center when Allison and Lindros are sidelined due to another concussion?

Hahah Calder, I think as the season goes on, it's gonna be me and you going at it. It's the Flames fans that bug me worse than the 'Nucks ones.


*countdown to October 15th....*

You forgot to sign "The Internet". Pay attention

It took a Leafs fan to correct him. :lol
