Really ? Are you really asking me about MT and MB on PK ?
Lets see if you bring anything outside of your own interpretation.
MT benches PK (and Patches, but he blew the play) against Colorado for an individualistic play. That is PK, he makes individualistic plays because he is high end talent, coaches should encourage and develop it, but not MT.
So all coaches do that to players, doesn't mean he "hates" or even dislikes PK. He didn't like that certain play, not the player. In the end MT still gives PK all the minutes in all key situations.
MB would not pay PK the $ at arbitration, it took Molson to step in, so obviously MB thought it was too much.
So MB wanted to get the best deal he could from PK and played harball. MB has not come out since and said PK is overpaid. He has actually said he is going to be hab for a long time, its unrealisitc to trade him, he wont trade him, he is an elite defensmen and a big part of this team. I think that speaks stronger to your speculation that MB played hardball at negotiations so now he thinks he is overpaid. And a GM should think all his players are overpaid, he should be trying to get them on as low contracts as possible and never be satisfied with their performance.
You still have not provided any proof that MT or MB hate PK, or think he is overpaid today. This all your speculation based on your biases against MB and MT. MT benched or called out PK a few times which to you overrides the fact that he plays the most mins a night, in all situations, and is his go to guy. MB has only said good things about PK in all his pressers. [/QUOTE]
And I did not say MB was trading PK. The question was why there were 40 pages. Posters went into a tizz . If they trusted MB on PK, there would not have been 40 pages as it would have been dismissed as stupid. Also, as Habs fans we spaz out. And we have 20 years of reasons .
Clear enough for you ?
Thats the issue, fans spaz out and create scenarios in their head that don't exsist. MT/MB are out to get PK, or don't like him, or whatever. PK is a big part of the team isn't going anywhere and gets tons of minutes everything points to the opposite of what you said. But you latch onto the smallest things and blow them up because it fits with your opinion.
And in the end who cares if MT/MB like or don't like PK. For all we know they hate all the players, all the coaches, and each other. Doesn't really matter as long as they are professional. I don't need MT/MB to want to hang out with PK and drink some beers. He is treated like a professional by those 2 so whatever their personal feelings they don't effect the on ice play.
By the way, I am one of a minority who has not written MB off, but getting close. Still open to see what happens July 1.[/QUOTE]
Well I am with you on that in regards to MB having till this summer before I close up shop as well. I wont give him ony till July 1 because things can still happen, but if he doesn't get a forward before camp starts then I will call this summer a failure.
