Here part one and part two of Aaron Ward's, so far, fantastic three-part series called "Re-Orientation." It's a documentary about homosexuality in sport. Definitely an important topic that will continue to evolve going forward...

 

Neat. I'm an Ally, so I'll watch that when I get home from work.

Quote from Leafs GM Nonis: "Kadri and Gardiner's names are brought up quite a bit in trade talks. So is Rielly's. We'd be willing to trade Kadri."

 

That lockerroom really needed this kind of stupid comment.

What do you find "stupid?" The GM is saying anyone can be traded, nothing wrong with that.

Agreed. This is the time of year GMs throw out the carrot to see who's interested. Also to motivate players.

There is motivating players and there alienating players. I think Nonis achieved the latter. Good, ###### the Leaves and really ###### Kadri.

He is saying the opposite. These three names always come up in trade rumours. He would be willing to deal one of the three. Thus he won't be willing to trade the other two

Nonis saying "We would listen to trades for any of our players" or "If an offer is made that we can't refuse we could move one of those players" is what good GMs would say in that situation

Of course GMs might also throw out names in conversations with other GMs as guys they could move for the right price.

 

The problem here that makes this stupid on Nonis is that he actually comes out and talks about 3 players he gets offers for, then specifically names one of them saying he could be traded. That should work wonders in your lockerroom and with this young player.

This is what I was going for.

As others have stated, he didn't say 'anyone' could be traded; he said certain ones couldn't but someone else could. Not typically good for overall morale.

From the way he was acting previous this young player has been a headcase anyways. Sometimes players need a kick in the butt.

In other news. Hanzal of the Coyotes put out 3 Canucks with crafty stickwork last night. All within 5 minutes of play. Crosschecks to the ribs on santorelli and sedin and the last one a crosscheck to the neck of Booth. The league should look at the last one with the other two taken into consideration.

Sounds like Oilers/Panthers might have made a minor deal, seeing as how some FLA players tweeted goodbye to Steve Pinizzotto last night.

 

 

Looks like an AHL trade with Pinizzotto and Jack Combs going for Derek Nesbitt. Definitely a domino for a Miller to Florida and Edmonton at the same time.

Breaking up the RIT boys in Vancouver eh? Always liked Pinner and I wish Tanev hadn't bailed to the NHL after one year.

 

I thought pinner has been gone from VAN?

 

I love Tanev and also wished he hadn't left so soon. Glad to see him thriving.

Martin St. Louis has scored all 4 of Tampa Bay's goals against San Jose. The Sharks are winning by one with most of the third to go. Just tuned in.

All of them in the first 22 minutes, and then lose the game! That's gotta suck.

Marty is awesome.

Will Philly ever get it when it comes to goalies?

 

I've said it before; I'll say it again: Filly's goaltending hit the wall in the 80s.

 

And that one is getting called back.

 

Just like I said.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
