Backes is like Kesler. Other teams hate him, but would take them in a heartbeat. Sort of like Getzlaf or Perry.

Agreed.

I don't hate Getzlaf. Perry is borderline retarded.

Morrow and Roy looked great tonight, solid signings.

Roy has been pretty good. THe Morrow signing has the makings of one good on paper, but not elsewhere.

Fixed. Grats on Sedin diving his way to an OT PP goal for you. Remember this as the year goes on and the calls always seem in favor of the other team, words gets around among refs.

Boo (frank)ing hoo.

The refs can't (frank) the Canucks any more than they already have this season. Can't get any worse.

I think PIT realized that as well. Not much left in the tank it would seem.

Roy was decent hear too, but AV used him as a defensive player(low offensive zone starts) and his on-ice shooting % was low so a bit of bad luck here as well. IMO he's still a decent 2nd line player.

I liked Roy, but he's not a top line player like he thought. More like 3rd line centre.

He's being utilized the opposite so far. Coming in to the game his OZone starting % was one of the highest of the Blues forwards.

Apparently Getzlaf really is boarderline retarded(no joke) I along with every GM in hockey would take Perry over Getzlaf

Just goes to show that AV wasn't the best coach for any offensive players not named Sedin or Burrows. Torts has been the opposite, spreading it out a lot more amongst the top 6/top 9. Roy's probably better suited playing in American city and being apart of a team with good offensive depth so he doesn't have the spotlight on him.

A few places. The ducks apparently had long thoughts about his 1st extension because of his lack of intelligence

As I said his 1st extension, read it a few places a couple yrs ago. What exactly did u Google? Is Getzlaf retarded?

Haven't heard that either. Perry, on the other hand, well... just watch an interview

No doubting Perry's big game ability and he's a proven winner.

However the biggest bumhole I have ever watched play hockey live. (frank) he was a Dink when he played for London.

Not credible at all -- and tacky to boot. Perry on the other hand.... Backes is a turd -- and Gillis offer-sheeted him for a reason: he's a fine player.

Things look good in here!
