I think alberts is in and not ballard
Posted via RS Mobile

yeah, i heard alberts is in too. last night they were saying on 1040 that ballard is sitting out because it appears he isn't buying into the system AV wants to use in regards to our defense breaking out of the zone.

the example they used is how everyone makes that 1st pass (or chip off the boards a la Aaron Rome) on the first opportunity. ballard tends to button hook back into our zone when he doesn't like what he sees. i did notice this before last night's conversation but didn't really take note of it. now that it's been brought up, i can see why AV might dislike the disruption of the flow. as far as i can remember, ballard is the only one that circles back into our zone like this.

i have a bad feeling with alberts being in....ballard is faster and more like dan hamhuis than alberts

R u kidding me
Alberts Rome instead of Ballard
What the hell haha

Hmm I figure they would use Ballard, quicker and more mobile than Alberts. Considering speed is what we need against Boston, the Alberts choice puzzles me.

As far as Spoon's post goes, very interesting ...I've never noticed it but definitely going to be paying attention to it now.

if ballard is back next year i be surprised

He's doing that right now because Ballard makes takes too many risks plain and simple. Don't get me wrong I want Ballard to play as well but when he breaks down the ice I do get worried hes going to lose the puck and there will be a odd man rush or a better chance at a scoring opportunity. AV got us here by his coaching and I trust what hes doing and feel I don't need to second guess his decision with putting Alberts in the game. He is a bigger body which we need against the Bruins as well.

4 million bucks to watch from the press box and still play enough games to get name on cup/ring


ugh

The players don't get paid while in the playoffs, they only get a bonus if they win the cup :troll:

but he was still paid from the pressbox during reg. season lol

just curious where all the bieksa haters went.

:facepalm:

What are ya gonna do if you get one as a gift? Trash it? "Oh granny, thanks for the great birthday gift, I lov... er... oh, it's not *REAL*. Thanks for nothing, you stupid old bitch."

I'm with you. I'm sure we'd ALL love to drop $500 for a 100% guaranteed authentic, name-plated, player-signed, game-worn jersey... alas, some of us are not ballin' like all y'all and are happy just to wear ANYTHING to show the colors, be it a t-shirt or a knock-off jersey or whatever. REPRESENT, MOTHERFUCKERS.

Tell me, does this look "authentic"?

original was a habs jersey

The thing driving me really crazy is when you eat you can feel the food in your mustache and that drives me fricken crazy.

:rolleyes:

He was rightfully hated upon in the past cause he played like absolute shit. He's arguably one of our best D the past couple rounds.

You mean the ones from last year and the beginning of this season, before he started playing well?

I give anyone shit if they play like shit and praise them when they do well.

lol really

I saw them at team store yesterday without the cup logo

I'm pretty sure ballard still gets a playoff bonus

Feel free to give him a call!
