tikigods 76 Posted January 13, 2013 Yes i do, i hope they can make the playoffs, and lose to boston. Doubt it though We're in rebuilding mode. Bad contracts and bad trades have crippled the Habs. The lockout was the best thing that could have happened. The amnesty cuts will help so we can shed ourselves of the Gomez and Bourque/Kaberle contracts. This Galchenyuk kid is the real deal, tho. Not quite Tyler Sequin but pretty decent draft pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tikigods 76 Posted January 13, 2013 Go-Hom-Ez Scott Gomez’s days as a Canadien are over. General manager Marc Bergevin announced Sunday that Gomez was being sent home and would be bought out in the summer. “We felt this was the best decision for the good of the team,” Bergevin said. He said the Canadiens need the clear out cap space going forward and the deal will remove Gomez’s $7.357 million from the books for the 2013-14 season. The Canadiens will have to pay Gomez $5.5 million not to play this season and then will pay him two-thirds of the $4.5 million he’s scheduled to make next season. Bergevin said the Canadiens couldn’t afford to have Gomez hurt because the new collective bargaining agreement doesn’t allow teams to buy out injured players. Bergevin said the decision on Gomez was made after he saw the final draft of the CBA at 11 p.m. Saturday and he met with Gomez at 7:30 a.m. Sunday. Bergevin said Gomez was “professional” when he was given the news.

Blitzen 0 Posted January 13, 2013 Go-Hom-Ez Don't let the door hit you in the ass, Gomez. That news made my day. Finally rid of this underperforming moron. I really hope they let Galchenyuk finish the year in Sarnia though and not rush him. I know he's dominating in the OHL but that is good for a young player.

tikigods 76 Posted January 13, 2013 Hope you got the tickets on the cheap. I won't spend a dime on the NHL this year I always get the family section when I take my kids. The Habs put on a good show for kids. When I go with my buddies, we usually sit in the red or blue seats. The blue seats are usually littered with fans of the away team, which always makes for a good time after loading up at McLean's Pub pregame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My feeling is that he probably won't go back to Sarnia...I bet he ends up in Hamilton. Don't know that he can go back to Hamilton. I think if he goes over 5-6 games with the Habs he has to stay up because of his age. If he stays in Sarnia this year, next year he could go to Habs/Hamilton.

Blitzen 0 Posted January 16, 2013 Looks like Gomez will be bought out earlier than this summer. Hopefully we can get rid of that useless focker Bourque. I wanna see what Bourque can do first. If he plays better, he might actually be tradable. I think the team will see what they have in Bourque and Kaberle and then decide on one or the other as the 2nd buyout. Maybe they'll be able to trade Bourque and buyout Kaberle for the ultimate reset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
420allstars 13 Posted January 16, 2013 Name your bet. I open to whatever you like? I'll do $20 canadian (worth about $22 USA and looks pretty cool) or maybe winner picks the loosers Icon for the playoffs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they'll be able to trade Bourque and buyout Kaberle for the ultimate reset. No one will take Bourque. He is a quitter...even worse than edjr. I'm still befuddled by the trade last season. Cammy must have really pissed off someone in the front office. Personally, I like Kaberle and really helped out the penalty kill last year but the dude is way old. I miss Wiz. Losing he and Halpern really hurt last season. Those two guys brought a lot to that team after the Markov injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
