Am I missing something today? We have a ton of support for french players who snubbed the Habs... and now we have some love for the french media who's normally viewed as a cancer...

I REALLY like Mathias Brunet.

Maybe it was for the money, but the money isn't the only reason why a player wouldn't have gone to Montreal in 2000.

And don't forget the Canadian dollar was worth $0.70US at the time.

I agree with the bolded.

Players have always been paid in US dollars btw.

and 500K extra per year to play in Boston is most likely worth about 750K-1M for MTL to match that amount with the difference in income taxes, then add the fact that the Habs sucked big time (and still do)

I agree. But it's kinda sad to know that Tinordi will learn not to go in the corners anymore.

Lefebvre was not pooping in the corners, and he'll be there more often than Brisebois.

Can't deny that.... Still a little funny considered we eliminated boston at least twice during his contract while being the 8th or 7th seed.

Am I the only one a little pissed off that Martin Lapointe, after turning down the Habs as a player for 500 000$ more from Boston gets to have a job in Montreal now?

I cant believe you're actually implying that you wouldnt go play for Boston if they gave you 500k.

I cant skate for poop and i'd go play for Boston for 500k.

Just because they make millions doesnt mean half a million's not a sh1tload of money.

He signed for 4 years, 5M/yr with Boston. Calculate the taxes difference between Boston and MTL on that amount... 20M in Boston, 18M in MTL plus the difference in income taxes AND play for a better team on paper.

worked in MTL's favor anyway...

new gem from the Leaf thread:

bryz + schenn + couturier
for
phaneuf + kadri + connolly + 2nd would definitely do it for burke

Why would they be so crazy and do this deal and give up Dion F'n Phaneuf?!? Brutal.

Tyler Moore is the next Bryce Harper.

What can I say, if I had the choice, between playing in Montreal for 5M or Boston for 5.5, i'd play for Montreal.

I guess I consider 5M more than enough to be happy.

Dear Eric,

Please remove the name Bruno Gervais from your blog.

He sucks.

Thank you.
