I don't know really, it's really hard to judge this one. I don't know if he can use the whole "I was woozy as a defense" considering he looked up at the linesman for 5 seconds got on the bench and din't go to the black room.

I mean he slowly skated over, nailed the ref, and then went to the bench. I don't think he has much ground to stand on

Gathering habs fans. What I would do is I would trade for Vrbata for cheap, and place him with Plekanec

 

Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Gallagher
Desharnais - Plekanec - Vrbata
Flesichmann - Eller - Weise
?(Byron?) - Mitchell - Flynn/DSP
 

Beaulieu - Subban
Emelin - Petry
Markov - Gilbert
 

Condon
Scriven

Trading for Vrbata for cheap, what exactly is cheap? Because he would cost a little bit more than cheap, especially with the Canucks knowing the Habs situation.

[boubabi 4,725]

Habs situation doesn't change Vrbata's value. He was on the trade block at the beginning of the season and he's a future FA. He's -22 and he doesn't have a good season. So the Canucks aren't really in a position to ask much.

Knowing the Habs need offence though can be a bargaining chip.

[boubabi 4,725]

The habs needs pretty much anything atm, so it's not like they will overpay for a FA. It's just a good match, he will fit well with pleky, he can score some goals, he's a vet (that blows at defense tho) and a pending FA. Perfect for the habs

[Kendrick 4,741]

Well yeah I realize they won't look to overpay, but don't think the Canucks will trade him for cheap just because they are your hometown team. The NHL is a world of overpayments. The Canucks won't give a shit who he fits with at all, they just want pieces like every team.

[boubabi 4,725]

Cheap not like make a discount, just because vrbata don't have much value at all. So the Habs will just pay the right price for him

[Kendrick 4,741]

Well yeah that was my question haha

[boubabi 4,725]

yeah, that was pretty much what I meant, nobody does discount nowadays really

 

it's just bad gm'ing

Mike Milbury's days are over

The whole wideman thing is hard to call, i mean from the back angle it looked like he sought our a ref and hit him really hard, but from the the front it looks like he barely bumped the ref, basically bracing himself. i would go as far as saying in my opinion he didnt mean to hit him

[boubabi 4,725]

His blog was very good

I'm not really liking Widemans argument right now. As my friend said, he skated pretty damn well for a guy so disoriented that he couldn't tell who was who

[boubabi 4,725]

his argument is stupid and just trying to get away with it. It's inappropriate and shouldn't be threaten slightly. 20 games imo  

[Kendrick 4,741]

Not to mention in his argument he said something along the lines of "the ref was in the right position", as in he knew he was a ref.

[Kesler 1,514]

no way vrby goes for cheap

[FacePuncher 1,343]

Well that was fun!

[Kendrick 4,741]

P.J. Jagr had quite the flow, I'd love to see those two play together. Of course Brent Burns wins the entire weekend though.

Regardless of if the hit was a penalty or not, how the hell can you call a 5 minute major on Gudas after the fact???? Lessio was down injured and play carried on, Flyers had the puck the whole time, and no ref called a penalty.

[FacePuncher 1,343]

Crosby gets 900, 901, and 902. Took him only 680 games. What a player!

[boubabi 4,725]

Lmao the senators
