It would be handy to know Spanish, for sure.

Eric Engels: Habs win big in deal for Michael Ryder
- EricEngels

Wasnt one of the reasons for picking up a guy like cole is becuase the habs needed to get better 5 on 5 so they don't have to to be so reliant on the (frank)ing pp to score?

But your big spin on the "BIG WIN" is that he is going to boost the PP.

Yeah yeah cole has not been himself for a whole 19 games but ignore what he did last year for a defensive alergic one dimensional semi goal scoring rental.

It's a salary dump for the decreased cap next year, but a BIG WIN for (frank)s sakes engels.

For the record i like ryder for what he is, and trading a 2nd for him at the deadline to add to the team is what he is. Not dumping a slumping player and adding a defensive liability in his place.

Now back to your scheduled programing

not to nitpick, but ryder was drafted in 1998. do i get a prize? it better not be a timbit.

Oily.

Cycles kinda sucked this year so far, it's a pretty good deal,for the Habs.

Even before Eric posted the blog.

The officiating this year is nearly as bad as the NFL replacement refs.

Knowing french, spanish is super easy to learn. You can actually read through a book and understand much of it. I spent two weeks in Mexico (off resort) and learned several hundred words. I imagine you'd be fluent in a matter of months.

That'd be amazing. My friend took two classes of italian at University, I know he knows a bunch of words, the exam in his 2nd class was to actually hold a conversation

You know what's a terrible language to learn? Latin. Boy does it hurt.

Take a course then head down to SA or Mexico for a month. I bet that would do it.

You may not have noticed Pete but i dont judge a players worth on what he has done during one hot streak or on cold streak.

Cole was hurt up until December, he didnt expect the season to ever happen this year and was out of shape. It takes time.

But if he decides to retire next year like he alluded to then fine whatever.

Do you remember Ryders play with the habs or even when he was with the B's?

I say 5 games for the novelty to wear off and people remember the old newf

He's better than when he left the Habs. Right now he's bringing more than Cole but that's because Cole is out of shape.

Had to take a Latin class during 1st and 2nd year of high school.

Great trade - basically we just won the cup.

You do not want to practice it anyway.

The only real use is to read the original version of Roman stuff, and there's a part of it which is just a ripoff from the Greeks, so you might as well learn Ancient Greek (and then maybe pick up Modern Greek to actually be able to discuss with people).

Wow! They didn't even offer latin at any of the high schools near me. It's a dead language.

Time will tell I guess, he gave me/us possibly the impression that he had lost interest, no?

I don't blame MB for getting rid of him.

I have said before, it's the coaches job to motivate.


Edit: do you want someone working for you that may retire? Or may not?

I doubt it.

Private high school, and the students 1 year after didn't have to take it (they replaced it by an optional greek mythology class).

After 2 years, a 1 hour exam would be the translation of roughly 4 or 5 sentences.

I blame MB for not fetching Oleksiak along with Ryder and the 3rd pick.

Well if I ever find any ancient Roman artifacts I'll know who to look up.

wrong time to trade Cole if you are going to

I'll call it now,
Cole to Carolina for a 1st and mid level prospect at the deadline.
