Frolik bashes habs management

[Hacketts]

Exactly.

I love to pile on but this is not it.

100000000000000000000000%

 

[Heffyhoof]

Honestly at first I thought it was a no-name prospect who thought he had the ability to make it. I had completely forgotten about Frolik playing for the Habs but I think he should be thanking them for extending his career and earnings by a year.

 

[Fazkovsky]

No they didnt

dude looked like a garage league player on the ice he shud have been in the czech league alrdy

 

[MarkovsKnee]

He sucked & couldn't skate. Montreal was right to not play him. Plus, he knew he was going to the taxi squad. He was lucky to get a contract at all. Guy got $750k to practice.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

So BargainBin gives him another chance, he can't even make it on a bad roster. I think the dude needs a reality check. When you're done, you're done and move on.

 

[expy]

He was already hard on the decline.

But Bergevin and the management still sucks.

 

[Bloumeister]

Bergevin’s 2020 signing of Frolik is 2017’s Bergevin’s signing of Hemsky is 2015’s signing of Semin: useless, pointless Hail-Mary bombs

It’s like throwing spaghetti at the wall: it either falls to the floor and you can’t eat it, or it sticks - then you know it’s COOKED

 

[Ryan O'Byrne]

He was finished before he got on the ice

 

[TRG]

He didn't deserve to play more. He sucked. But if he was promised more and nobody had the guts to tell him he wasn't good enough and resorted to blaming the salary cap, then that's bad leadership.

 

[badi]

He was toast before , but they lied to him …

 

[frapp10]

He signed with a team that already had a full roster, a week before training camp opened. If he didn't know that he was bound for the taxi squad, he should fire his agent.

This 100%. It was obviously discussed before hand he was down on the depth chart and he would only play barring multiple injuries. He clearly didn’t have any contract lined up with a team he would be more then just a taxi squad player so it would’ve been the same thing anywhere else

 

[DavePeak]

Well if the Habs “ended” his career, they rejuvenated Perry’s. Such are the highs and lows of being a veteran 13th/14th forward, especially with the Taxi Squad last season. Staal is in a similar boat.

 

[BozoTheClown]

I am fine with it.
As long as more people shit on organization the better.


Time for some gigantic changes

 

[dinodebino]

Frolik looked bad…in Laval! Let alone in the show.

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

I first saw him play with the Jets. He is a scrappy player not shy of the corners, and fast, I can see why the Habs would take him from the Jets as a prospect. But major drawbacks would be his small size and lack of hockey IQ. Maybe he could have been developed a bit more on his plays and size.

frolik says habs basically ended his nhl career.

I'm not surprised. The Habs are where careers come to an end. It's more so prominent with goalies and AHLers though

Sounds like sour grapes. Frolik was done when Habs got him

 

[HabsQC]

I play NHL 22 with my dad and his friends daily. Whenever others/the goalie makes a mistake they're the first ones to shame the guilty, but whenever they make a mistake, it's never their fault. I think Frolik is like that

 

[Kriss E]

Although I can understand the argument that by basically sitting him the whole year it hurt his chances of signing with a new team, at the end of the day he signed the contract knowing he would be a spare part and it would be up to him to impress enough to be in the lineup. Just like it was up to him to impress St-Louis on his PTO.

I didn't read the article but Frolik is coming across as someone who looks in the mirror and sees who he was in his prime and not who is now.

We don't really know that, maybe he was promised a spot on starting roster. Maybe he was told he was part of the top 12..or they saw him as a viable piece on 3rd line.

I'm not so convinced Bergevin explained he would be on the outside and need to really prove himself, basically earning himself a slightly better deal than a tryout contract.

I can understand he is upset being casted away from the get go, but, his game was also crap.

 

[Gustave]

He couldn’t play. End of story. If anything, he got one last contract for a lot of money (in the real world), got to play a game for a living and even got to follow a squad to the Stanley cup Finals.

Yeah, the Habs really did him dirty…

 

[MarkJ]

Any comments from Ales Hemsky?

 

[Max2]

Mr Eyebrows was washed up a 3 years ago. He was awful in the few games he played here.

 

[hvac412]

TVA is nothing but a click bait shit stirring rag site and as far as Frolik goes, take a good long look in the mirror buddy,Perry's grit and play landed him a nice two year contract.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Well maybe if he didn't spend so much time frolicking...

Sorry, had to be done.

 

[overlords]

Imagine getting paid hundreds of thousands to do nothing and complaining.
