Nothing can stick on Spoony. The worst **** can be flung at him and it'll just slide right off.
It may not have been your intention, but all this talk about Briere touching our kids is not making the signing any better.
Have a seat right over here Daniel....
I don't know how many times he used it. Every chance he gets sounds a bit exaggerated. But what does it matter? How do you know 'character' means only small guys?
Bergevin on Max Pacioretty extension:
"We felt that he's a part of our core moving forward; he shows character, [with] what happened with the incident when he got hurt and came back."
Bergevin on 2012 draft haul:
"We got talent and character, and to me those are the most important things."
Bergevin on drafting Alex Galchenyuk:
"He's a big centre with talent, vision, and character."
Bergevin on drafting Sebastian Collberg:
"Top two lines. Top six. With a scoring touch and with character."
Bergevin on Brendan Gallagher:
"He has character that's off the charts."
Bergevin on potential trade deadline moves:
"You always look at all the options, but depth and character and speed is what you need to reach your ultimate goal."
Bergevin on drafting Michael McCarron:
"Obviously we like the size, the grit and the character. Mike has a lot of character and the way he's been used we know he has hockey sense and he has grit."
Bergevin on Christian Thomas:
"This young 21-year old forward has shown tremendous character."
This pisses me off to no end. Once again the Habs cave in to the French media and sign this washed up smurf.
We aren't bigger. But we are definitely better than last year on paper.
Pacioretty - Desharnais - Gallagher
Bourque - Plekanec - Briere
Galchenyuk - Eller - Gionta
Prust - White - Moen
I'm still waiting for watsatheos compilation with some catchy dub step music.
The song he originally had for Nygren I got hooked on.
DD has a $3.5M cap while Briere is $4M... and I'll bet dollars to donuts that Desharnais outproduces Briere next year. Trading DD will not land us much either so again, what was the point of this signing?
Oh, here's a little more on my 'character' exaggerations :
Briere is only one inch shorter than Kristo, and you all didn't have a problem with Kristo being a "lock for Ryder's spot in the top 6". If DD is moved, this deal looks a lot better. Just give the guy a chance before you bash him, and especially before you bash MB and call for his head.
Maybe we can shelter them both and they can figure out a way to produce together.It will depend which player gets the honor of being the 'sheltered one'.

Hi......Flyers fan coming in peace......
We in Philly loved Danny. He was truly a stand up guy. Good or bad game Danny would be there for the media. What ever Flyers management asked Danny, Danny would do with elan. Danny is a centerman through and through, Philly tried making him a winger but that was not a very good idea. He is ideal for 3rd line center, and when necessary a 2nd line center. And on the PP he can be deadly. He has lost a step or two since coming to Philly. And his backchecking is well........at best ok......and he will get clobbered in the corners but to his credit, he does not back down.
He will quickly take in the young players and help them out. Please do not boo him, you will be rewarded for his great character. And I honestly hope that he does well for you. [except of course when he plays against us ;-)]
BTW, there is a new rumour going around, now that the Flyers have signed Adam Hall, that Talbot is expendable. Would Montreal be interested?
Thanks for reading!
If I change a song it's because of copyright notices lol.
I don't think this has anything to do with it at all. I don't think there was any pressure to bring in Briere.
Most of the crowd that wants more Quebecois hates Briere.
Maybe we can shelter them both and they can figure out a way to produce together.
So let me get this straight.. the signing is bad. But it turns into a fantastic signing if we get rid of the 26-year-old who outscored him in each of the last two seasons (more goals too) and even costs less money?
Okay then.
I have no problem getting rid of Desharnais if it improves our team. But the amount of people that want to dump a 45-60 point player for something that won't help our team blows my mind.
Briere is a PPG playoff player.... Ryder is an airplane maker during playoffs
