[Mr. Canucklehead]

Er...OK.

 

[opendoor]

The tank is on I guess.

 

[arsmaster*]

Gillis is just padding the games played stat by players he has drafted LOL.

 

[R0bert0 Lu0ng0]

May god have mercy on us all.

 

[TheWanderer]

Oh dear god... I guess he wanted to leave Biega on a team with the better winning culture?

 

[Vankiller Whale]

I don't think Sauve really deserved to be the next call-up, did he?

 

[Nucker42]

-16 in 37 games so far. I know Utica isn't very good but he has the worst +- of the d core. Reallu surprised Peter Anderson didn't get the call. A plus player on a D core of almost of minuses. I guess I'm putting too much stock into this stat.

 

[VC]

Hamhuis - Garrison
Edler - Corrado
Sauve - Stanton



Guess there isn't any more right-side defensemen to call up?

 

[thepuckmonster]

Ugh I hate Sauve as a player.

 

[Nucker42]

Hamhuis - Garrison
Edler - Corrado
Sauve - Stanton

So Weber, Tanev, Alberts all out?

 

[PhilMick]

This oughtta go over like a fart in church.

 

[Freakshow]

With a prospect pool as shallow as ours, you've got limited options.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

Any update on Weber's injury?

Sure would suck for him to miss the Olympics.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

To be honest I would have thought Tommernes would probably have been a decent replacement stylistically for Weber.

 

[stevecanuck16]

Biega and Andersson were probably better options, but I don't mind rewarding a guy like Sauve. This tells me it won't be a long-term thing, and Weber is probably back soon.

Sauve does add a bit of bite if he plays against the Bruins on Tuesday.

Hey lets get some positive posts in here

He'll be good
you'll see!

Torts will love his shot blocking, the kid is fearless.

He even tried blocking on a car once.

Not that impressive, cars are pretty big so they're easy to get in front of. A puck is a lot smaller, it's not easy to get in its path.

 

[How Ya Drouin]

So...... are we tanking.... or?

 

[Craz1bo1]

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

 

[Pip]

Okie dokie

 

[TheWanderer]

Showcasing him for a trade? "Yeah, this guy is our second call-up." *trollface*

really hope so....obviously not a cup contender.

So essentially we would be attempting to make playoffs just to further line the pockets of Aquillini.

I mean seriously, throw the fans a bone here. Gillis is clueless.
