Bill has a couple cups. Tea anyone?
I remember when I bought a Despres shersey (either in 2012 or '13), thinking he was going to be a key member of the team. So much for that.
I thought Maatta-Despres was going to be our top pair eventually.
I'm shocked and disappointed that Pittsburgh's own Ryan Malone is not getting more traction.
Hey! Habs still think so...I remember when I bought a Despres shersey (either in 2012 or '13), thinking he was going to be a key member of the team. So much for that.

Might end up just playing for Laval's AHL Rocket though.
Wish him well, if only his hockey I.Q. was as high as his athletic skills... Sure deserves one last shot at it.He’s been training pretty hard from what I read. Supposed to be in great shape.

Nice take on this, experience from yours i guess, must say i based my take on how he ended up out of the NHL, mixing I.Q. and concussions was a wrong assumption of mine.I always thought his hockey IQ was decent. After his concussion it may not have been (not sure if that is permanent though). He did do well in Russia by all reports.
He definitely came back too early but I know from experience that you can think you’re ready when you’re not. After my brain injury I went to Aussie Rules football training and stayed out of some of the heavier contact drills. My doctor pretty early on said I shouldn’t play in any contact sports. Can’t say I wasn’t tempted though. I miss it.
