Babying 613 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Over/Under on the amount of penalties in tonight's Sabres-Bruins game ?Tough call. You know the league will be watching this game. Also guys like Gerbe and Roy don't really scare anyone in a fight.I don't expect the game like the Islanders/Penguins last year.I will say 15.Guaranteed Gaustaud gets into a fight.

FCP Bob 1,312 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Anybody else a bit surprised that Bergfors cleared waivers and that nobody took a chance on him. Little risk for the team picking him up since he's only paid about $600K and he's a free agent after this season. Has he really been that bad. Link to post Share on other sites

Has he really been that bad.I've been surprised with a few of the players that have cleared waivers. I'm convinced there is an unwritten agreement between GMs to some extent.

serge 904 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Brad Richards, he of the annoying Free agent 2011 drama fame, has 6 goals 7 assists 13 pts in 18 games -1Tim Connolly , has 10 pts in 10 games..This will sound outrageous for the casual hockey observer..However when healthy Tim Connolly is a better hockey player.

serge 904 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I must be a casual hockey observer.No you are NOT a CASUAL hockey observer. You are a semi hockey nut with pretty good knowledge.Im just reiterating the fact that signing a contract of that magnitude is not right( i have said this 1967 times before)Thats all..4 years from now it will be 17 times not correct.Sure the Rangers won some games..Not because of the Richardian magic..

I think Richards also provides that team a lot of leadership and a very good all around game too. AND, he will score more pts than Connolly. Pretty much every year of his contract.And, you cant just sign players to short deals....sometimes you have to overpay to get a star player. Some teams dont mind overpaying with draft picks (ie 2*1st, and a 2nd)for their best player, while some teams dont mind overpaying in cash+term. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Connolly IS a really good hockey player, but staying healthy is something that helps the team, therefore he loses points for being consistently on the shelf.Even then, his career numbers are nowhere near that of Brad Richards. Connolly - 637gp, 121g, 284a, 405pts (0.636 ppg)Richards - 790gp, 226g, 503a, 729pts (0.923 ppg)Richards also has a Conn Smythe trophy and a Stanley Cup. It's not even remotely close. Richards is 1 year and 5 days older than Connolly.But don't let facts get in the way of bias. Link to post Share on other sites
