EPTRegarding Gilbert, you guys should be happy with him. He is a reasonably reliable, skilled defenseman. He was run out of Edmonton because of #grit or whatever. He had a good season once again and has earned a raise. Hopefully he works out - he's honestly a bit of a bargain as a 2nd pairing guy compared to what others have signed.

Gilbert got boned because he was miscast in a #1 role much like Phaneuf, and the team/fanbase has a boner for the Jason Strudwicks of the world. Turnovers all day are fine as long as you block the puck with your face!!! e: i didnt realize Giroux got arrested for grabbing a male officer's ass several times hahahah | ||

Can play all zones of the ice well and won't hurt you defensively in the least. Adds great playmaking and can read the ice very well. Pittsburgh really should have locked him up for a bit longer. At least 3 years imo. Its not about locking him down, its about Erhoff getting the stench of Buffalo of him with a 60-70 point year that lets him re-up for another mega contract one last time while taking what he thinks is a run at the Cup -- which we all know isnt going to be a run at the cup as long as the flower is the Pens goalie. | ||

The goalie who already has a Stanley Cup win is unable to win the Stanley Cup. OK... I was thinking something similar about Ehrhoff, that he deliberately took a short contract, because being in exile in Buffalo the last few years, he felt like the market would cut him short no matter what. Anyway, I feel sorry for Gorges. What he does day in and day out is remarkable in itself, but playing for Buffalo there will be a lot more shots for him to block. Poor fool! | ||

We get the team we deserve =( man i wanna see the oilers be ok because they got a lot of fun players to watch. but their management hasnt put together a decent d and g situation in ages. gilbert isnt great or anything but he's a completely serviable 2nd pairing guy if you deploy him right. and yeah, Pitt really should have gotten erhoff for more years. That's a steal at that price, and i feel he will vastly outplay it getting big minutes with top guys. That and probably the Richards contract are the biggest steals thus far imo. Richards was no where near his worth in NY, but $2m is like half of what he is worth at this point. | ||

Vanek came from austria to play for the gophers and has lived here anyway just like zach and ryan. If by star you mean Star Magician: Specialty, Vanishing act. Then yes that is exactly what the Wild got. | ||

This is coming from a guy who worked the nightlife and I must say I've seen quite a number of liberties taken on the drunks.

He's always been that way though. I still remember him trying to jump behind the bar to serve his friends drinks and told him to get lost. You could offer me 3 P.K. Subban's for 1 Scott Neidermayer and I'd still say no thanks. On July 03 2014 06:26 Blisse wrote: we lost kulemin :| There are a lot of players who don't like playing for Randy lol. | ||
