I believe all fan bases have short memories. I agree, I don't know where this Hal Gill love fest is coming from.

Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. We don't have those guys so we want them. Once we get them we will want some other new shiny object.

I liked Gill when we had him, I would still like him now. He plays simple and provides a role that is important in a championship run.

Bench Martin, good with me. Whatever can wake him up or get him out the door.

No we do that through you Walshy, it's just that you never provide enough details.

I'm going to guess kgr doesn't tell us about anymore of his dates. Assuming of course that fossill girl doesn't end up being "the one"

Maybe we will get invited to our first official hockeybuzz wedding! Better be an open bar KGR!!!

I think most people probably realized what we had in gill when he was helping Montreal shut us down in the playoffs. I know Halak played well but they made sure there was no traffic and cleared the rebounds that were available. With Sutton among others signing I'm sure the lack of available dmen probably priced gill out of our range.

Unfortunately, we can all scratch Mike Comrie from our wishlist as he officially retired today.

Just make sure we all end up at the same table(with the brides sisters). That way when the interrogation of the sisters is done, NH can start in on their opinions of Hemsky.

I once attended an Xbox live wedding. Hockeybuzz wedding isnt that far fetched.

Truth be told, it was the best wedding I have attended. Our whole Modern Warfare clan attended, and it was the first time we all met in person. Total sh!t show.
Needless to say, the bride was none too impressed with us. We introduced ourselves and she says "Oh, you are the xbox guys" then turns and walks away and pays us no attention for the rest of the night.

- Gunner Staal


As I have mentioned before I don't hate him but he was slow. If we get him for some ice shavings then I am on board.

I think the run to the championship makes people believe he was better then what he actually was.

I haven't seen too many games this yr to make an opinion of Martin. The only player I have an opinion on is TK and he terrible shot choices. But I seem to remember everyone hating Hal Gill and how soft and slow he was. Now everyone wants Scuderi back and talks about how he was our best shut down d man. I remember him going againse OV in the playoffs and he still had like 8 goals that series. Pittsburghs fan memories are short and cloudy.

This doesn't fit the "OV comes up small in the playoffs/big games" narrative, so many conveniently overlook this sort of stat.

I would love to have Gill back because he has a simple role and he clears people out from in front of the net. Honestly our d-men now don't do that i think he is needed.

I don't know, his performance in shutting us down in the Montreal series was legitimately great.

For six games, he was electric. Then MAF stoned him and he disappeared.
