serge 904 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Camalleri traded to Calgary..Down Goes Brown @DownGoesBrown “Oh, we’re losers? I’LL SHOW YOU LOSERS!” – Pierre Gauthier, apparently.LOL Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Word is Rene Bourque is the return.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_BourqueWiki is faster than Eklund. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Bourque makes a lot of sense, skill+cap wise. Also, Calgary been unhappy with him for a while. I called it before anyone I follow on twitter said Bourque! LolI don't like it for the Habs, bit of a camm fan. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Iginla and Cammalleri together again, can be great again.Trade might work for both teams. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I think Calgary got a steal. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I think Calgary got a steal.Agree. Jay feaster said they have been talking about this a while. I'll guess that Calgary has been trying to move Bourque for a while, and kept targeting Cammalleri. Then, Mikey C decided to call his team losers and that did it. Link to post Share on other sites

digitalmonkey 929 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 We should be gambling on when Gauthier is fired.My thoughts on trade:Cammalleri has been awful both offensively and defensively. It now appears he may also have been a problem in the room. When I was reading the comments by the other players in reacting to Cammalleri's comments I remember thinking Josh Gorge's comment seemed a little less cliché and politically correct. It wasn't anything drastic but I just got a feeling when I read it. I'll try to find it.If Cammalleri plays up to his potential then he is most definitely the best player in the trade. That may happen in Calgary but it didn't seem to be going to happen in Montreal. There was a point awhile ago where I thought he was coming around but that didn't last long. He's been playing really soft lately. Too many times I've noticed him backing off a loose puck instead of using his speed to go after it. I don't expect Bourque to provide the goal-scoring that Cammalleri can provide when he's playing well, but I think Bourque has the size and type of game that may open up some ice for other Montreal forwards. Montreal has had too much of the same thing for awhile now (Cammalleri, Gionta, Desharnais, Plekanec) and they finally seem to be moving away from that a little (Pacioretty, Eller, Bourque, Holland?)Peter Holland also seems like a decent player...a high draft pick who plays a power forward game and is almost a point-per-game player in the AHL. I do NOT like the way the trade went down. Removing a player while a game is going on seems a little over-the-top to me. A player like Cammalleri should have been shopped around. I'm not sure if Gauthier did that.I would not be surprised if there were more moves to come. I've had a feeling for awhile now that Subban's days in Montreal were numbered and Anaheim keeps popping into my head.Anyway, I think Gauthier's days are numbered. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Ya, it's PATRICK Holland (http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=118254), apparently, not PETER Holland. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I just assumed it was Peter too, until I just saw the trade on Sportscentre. Looked it up to see if it was just a typo or what. Didn't recall Peter leaving the Ducks, though. Link to post Share on other sites

I've had a feeling for awhile now that Subban's days in Montreal were numbered and Anaheim keeps popping into my head.Anyway, I think Gauthier's days are numbered.I think this is a great analysis and commentary on the trade.There were reports that some GMs didnt even know that he was on the market, and he wasnt shopped around..Feaster tried to make a point that they were talking for a long time, but it looks like such a knee jerk reactionary move. Not sure if Gauthier gave an explanation on the way the trade went down, as its unheard of to pull a player mid game..If you are close to a trade before the game, why not just not dress him??It seem very fishy and from the outside it really looks like " oh yeah Micheal, screw you, you are gone" Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I don't think the deal closed until midgame, then Camm was pulled to prevent an injury possibility, which would have spoiled the deal. I'm not defending, but I think it's not as sinister as some are making it out.Mtl gets a guy who will go in front of the net and cause some trouble. Good offset for Cole, who is a similar kind of player. Having a couple of lines that can cause mayhem in front of the net is a good thing.Also, Rene Bourque doesn't speak French, apparently...lol Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I think it's a good deal for Montreal, and a bit of a head scratcher for Calgary. Does Calgary think this is going to get them into the playoffs? Because it certainly is not, and they are essentially giving up 2 2nd round picks for a marginal upgrade, not to mention the ~$2-3 million salary increase.The value of the trade is pretty fair, but the trade makes zero sense for Calgary, and a lot of sense for Montreal, imo.

digitalmonkey 929 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 I just found this:http://www.hockeyfanzone.com/showthread.php?t=15209It seems like there was probably a Gorges vs Cammalleri vibe going on for awhile. The only way Cammalleri was coming out on top of that was by putting the puck in the net. And he wasn't doing that. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Gorges is awesome. He doesn't look 6'1", 210 lbs, but he def plays like it and more.<3 Link to post Share on other sites

Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Tomas Kaberle took the second shootout attempt..WTF is that??I don't f*cking understand it. I had money on MTL, and they f*cking put Kaberle in the shoot out. Montreal really deserved that game and Ottawa really didn't deserve to win it. I don't know how Ottawa blew so many powerplays.
