Steve, how come you didnt talk about the Didomico incident?!/.. And i think its unfair to compare the sabres pens game to the hawks wings game because of the ice surface and temperature... it was FREEZING in buffalo, and the ice was crappy. IN chi town the temp was only -4

[SteveDangle]

Because I thought I'd go too long. I also didn't mentioned the Tokarski save. Oh well. It was dirty, but in a small sense, I like it. Builds the hype.

I know this is gonna make me sound like a hyper n00b, but who is Eric Tangradi and what did he do to be the JOTW?

Clipped a Canadian player in the face from the bench with his stick at the WJC

epic brain fart??? youre not creative

[phille22]

are you out of your mind? so he did go to the team who offeed him 20 mills, but that's not the point. the point is he waited, because he wasn't sure if he was gonna play. yes, you wanted him out, hahaha, the hypocrisy. yopu wanted him out, and you expect HIM to be loyal and generous? get the fuck out of here. you're scum.

[mcaris17]

*I meant to say "Maybe he DIDN'T want to play for Vancouver."

And maybe you're too stupid to realise this but if we wanted Sundin out so badly, we wouldn't be upset would we? We're just angry on how he left. He didn't waive his no-trade clause, so that's implying that he WANTED to stay with us, then he plays this fucking game with us, saying he's gonna make up his mind like every month, then he does like 6 months later. Also, the management went to talk with Sundin many times during the summer.

[mcaris17]

Well, in the end, he did chose the team that offered him $20 million. Why he didn't accept it right away? There's a reason pokerstarsDOTnet has him as a spokesperson: because he's a good bluffer. Maybe he want to play for Vancouver and tested the free agent market to see if another team he would prefer would offer the same amount, or maybe he was playing with them to get them to offer him even more. But in the end, he DID chose the $20 million team.

[carmie1818]

I like him, he's a great player, and has always been a pro off the ice. Most Leaf fans will have to go through a period of acceptance, with Mats playing for a different team. Right now I have passed the denial stage, and am now feeling quite angry.

When he plays in Toronto with the Canucks I would never boo him. He doesn't deserve that.

[phille22]

I can agree with that. But he also said that if he wasn't playing this season, he wouldn't play at all, and he obviously wanted to play, although he wasn't sure.

[phille22]

Yes he was. And why is he not one this season. Man, you canadians are fucking thick. Because his contract was out, and the management didn't want him. They wanted to get fucking rid of him last season! You think he felt welcome? And he didn't know if he was teturning. If he did, don't you think he would have said yes to the 20 million offer right away? Get your head out of your ass, you simpe minded fuck.

[carmie1818]

Mats Sundin response last season, when asked if he would waive his no-trade: "I have never believed in the concept of a rental player. It is my belief that winning the Stanley Cup is the greatest thing you can achieve in hockey but for me, in order to appreciate it you have to have been part of the entire journey and that means October through June."
