wheres the vish style proof
When we first signed Vishnevskiy (spelling might be off on that one) my friend got all excited and was like ''At least this is a nice consolation prize for losing Rafalski. We got a pretty decent replacement and he might even be a better PPQB''
And I was like ''Say whaaaaa???? Good one! Nice joke though!''
And he was like ''He's scored at a better clip than Rafalski the last two years. I love Raffi, are you kidding me though?''
You see, he thought we had signed Visnovsky, as in Lubomir Visnovsky. The one who played for LAK at the time and wound up playing for Edmonton, Anaheim and the Islanders later on. The one that no-showed to camp for the Islanders after the lockout, then wound up re-signing there the next year. Pulling the same exact move his buddy Nabokov did, with the refusing to report and then liking it and re-signing there after that.
Then when I told him it wasn't that guy, he wasn't very happy. Then the very next year he was traded to Edmonton just a few days before UFA. And then we signed Rolston and my buddy was like ''We couldn't have traded for Visnovsky? We signed Rolston instead? Gross!'' And I was like ''Well we would have needed to probably send them your buddy Gionta'' and then he goes ''Well I would have sent him there for Vis, because we're gonna ****ing lose him anyway next year, thanks to this stupid ****ing signing of Rolston. He won't be re-signed'' and then I was like ''Yeah, **** dude! We are gonna lose him now! Good point''.
