GDT: Game 79: Columbus vs. Phoenix | 4/8 7PM EDT
- Thread starter Samkow
- Start date
When you say March 8/11, are you meaning March 8th and 11th of this year? March 8-11 would be the best way to write that. I was thinking you meant March 8, 2011. LOL

The guy has 3 goals in 16 games with LA, how on earth is the "difference" in anything? We weren't going to re-sign him, nor should they have, so they got a 2nd round pick that could turn in to something when our young guys hit their prime. He's not the type that will show up in big games, see the Pitt series earlier in the year. So he would absolutely not have made a bit of difference.

Gaborik isn't just a goal scorer, he can also make plays in transition and complete tape-to-tape passes (god knows how good we're at that) and find players sneaking around... which is why he also has 8 assists with the Kings. His shooting percentage with LA is also well below his career average, so odds are he'll get more goals down the road.
Point is, we gave away a pretty unique offensive player and we'll probably miss having his skillset in the playoffs.

Erat and Duncan Keith are the two I've cursed the most. Throw James Neal in there, Ales Hemskey...

Perhaps we have a different definition of the word consecutive?
Oh wait, does March 8/11 mean March 8th and 11th? When I ready March 8/11, I read it as March 8, 2011. LOL
I read it that way too, lee, at first, so don't feel bad. It wasn't until his follow-up post that I figured it out. Three years seemed like a long time...
Also,
Will you be in 103 tonight, sir? If you are, please feel free to introduce yourself to the middle-age guy with his teenage daughter sitting in the first row on the aisle. (That'd be me, in case you were wondering.)
Looks like less than 200 available in the lower bowl, probably around 1,000 in the upper, probably will be around 17K

There are only two CBJ players who have more goals in same period...Johansen (7) and and Dubinsky (4). He certainly would be better feeding passes to Johansen or scoring off passes from Johansen than Frattin. CBJ have to be the only team that can't make room for an All Star Winger and prefer to pay half his salary to go elsewhere so they can ice guys like Boll and Frattin.
And it's a loser mentality to just give away those type players for late 2nd round+ picks while well in a playoff hunt. We had 3 first round picks last year, have another 1st round and 2nd round this year. Our farm system looks pretty stocked. Really the worse trade deal I can remember this franchise doing.

You can only get what the market is willing to pay. He didn't work here, it's like you guys didn't watch him play.

There were a ton more yesterday. I like the strong push on sales for tonight. The team deserves it.

I posted a month before the trade deadline what he was worth. A 2nd and a depth player and said then it wasn't worth it. Sounds like it's a coaching issue then if you can't make a skill player fit anywhere and we may have longer term issues that will need addressed.
Gaborik was coming from the injury and adjusting to the new team. Now he has 7 points in the last 7 games. In the games I saw he was the most notable LA forward on the ice.
You better compare Anisimov's stats with Gabby on his wing to his stats without him.

You know what would be great? If the Game Day Thread for the final home game, one that's crucial to the Jackets' playoff chances, would devolve into a rehash of every other thread we've had for the last couple months. That'd be great.
