funny, then why did they wanr Ott at the deadline?
- Homer

Because they would have the ability to play him in the role he is supposed to play. Not 18-20 minute a night

like I said scoring on the PP and staying out of the box is what wins games. He does neither. Not a big fan of Ott. He is a nice player but this team needs skill right now.
- toddkac

Funny, Ott has more PP goals and GWG than Roy does.

Because hes the type of player you add to a team like that.... I've already explained that.
- theblueandgold

well not if staying out o fthe box wins games like some on here suggest

come on your ruining it for the Ott lovers.
- toddkac

we should bring wayne gretzky out of retirement bcz nobody has his career #s

they need a lot more skill than Derek Roy ever brought
- Homer

good one, but that is not what we are talking about.

Hey we need a lot more grit like Kevin Stevens or Cam Neely not Steve Ott

so its Ott's fault our team sucks and he needs to play in almost every situation?

well who doesn't

Are we this blinded by Ott that we think he is better than a guy who consistently put up 60+ points in his career? It shouldn't even be an argument. Roy has a better chance at a cup being a top 6 forward in Vancouver than Ott does playing 20 minutes a night in Buffalo

so your saying taking lots of penalties is what wins?

good one, but that is not what we are talking about.

Why don't you give Darcy a call and tell him that. I'm sure he'd like to know that.

I said before I'm not blaming Ott for anything. He's not a 1st line player. Nor a 2nd liner on a contender. Roy is on the 2nd line in Vancouver.

Nope. Just saying that Roy wouldn't have made any difference on this team. And at least Ott has been entertaining this year.

He was moved to 3rd line center on Saturday Night.

My guess would be Kesler ends up hurt again before the playoffs start. It's a shame too. I really liked him, but injuries have been less than kind to him the last 2 seasons.

Why don't you give Darcy a call and tell him that. I'm sure he'd like to know that.

good one. Did it take you long to come up with that?

How long did it take you to come up with a list of players that just about any team would have wanted on their team?


That's like saying, my goaltending is bad. I need Patrick Roy on this team.

so 40 games determines a player?

For the 3rd time, since some people seem to have trouble with reading comprehension.

DEREK ROY WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THIS TEAM ANY BETTER THIS YEAR.

It's pretty much the most senseless thing to say. It takes no real thought process. But, I shouldn't expect much more considering the source.
