Ok. I get that your Leafs hate is so huge that you can't be objective.
- thomas81

I don't hate the Leafs - it has nothing to do with that.

I do not believe under any circumstance that Garbo is a better player / more attractive potential UFA, than Parise or Doan (and even perhaps Parenteau - depending on team need).

That simple.

And I suspect most people who do not have Leaf blinders on would agree.

It is not a leafs hate. There are many leaf fans here that disagree with you. I am one of them. To say Grabo is garbage is stupid. But to say that Grabo would attract more people than a Suter or Parise is just as stupid. Grabo is a 2nd line Center and that is his celing. Will not be a 1st line centerman.

Hi guys, please play nice or you will need an alt to discuss the draft.
- braidan

That's gotta be heart breaking.

Fans of two teams with brutal seasons with nothing more to look forward to than the draft and being banned a day before the event. Be gentle on them!

Well said.

Why just 2 seasons? Do his career, my friend.

(frank)ing china doll indeed.
- Gunslinger

you make absolutely no sense. so because he had injuries in the past, he's a china doll, even though he's been the sturdiest player in the league for the past 2 seasons.

Your own Habs hate make you look like a complete clown. Everybody on this site laughs at you and you keep coming back with more stupid crap post after post.

If you're a troll, I sincerely congratulate you for the awesome job you're doing.

Habs fan are so great. If we don't agree with your crap (Price is the best goaltender in the world, Subban is the best young defenseman in the league, Pacioretty will be a consistant 50 goal scorer,...) than we are considered trolls.

That's why I stay away from this site for long periods of time, I'm sick of the abuse from you Quebec people.

"Grabo is better than any Hab" is a sentence that is just as ridiculous.

How does it not make sense?

A guy with injuries getting older. Makes perfect sense. But I guess in your world Bobby Orr is healthy and still winning the Norris and Stanley Cups.

There is a difference between abuse and just not agreeing with you ...

Find me just one post about this. Go ahead.

I appreciate you generalizing every Habs on this board as to how you see them, not for what they actually said.

And quite frankly, perhaps it is time you stay away from this site for another long period of time.

Find me just one post about this. Go ahead.

You can't, but you can find one from a disgruntled, trollish Leafs fan who thinks Grabo is better than any Hab.

Why? It's a free country. Burke and I agree. Most Leafs fans would agree.

- Gunslinger

but what injuries does he have? this is what i don't understand. when a guy gets injuries as he getsa older, ya, i see how he's breaking down. but Cole is getting older and sturdier. so i don't see where this china doll stuff comes from.

Why? It's a free country. Burke and I agree. Most Leafs fans would agree.
- thomas81

because you wanna be in agreement with Brian Burke. he's built such a juggernaut in Toronto.

Past carrer injuries sure is a factor. But still, recent history is more important. Some players DOES have successfull rehabs.

I agree he's a bit more at risk than the norm, but still right now those old injuries don't seem to impact his play all it seems.

Please name me a Habs player that you would ahead of Grabo?

Basically, you're just a bad talent evaluator. Grabo would have been the 2nd most attractive UFA this summer.
- thomas81

I only see hyperbole from you. I have not read any comments in this thread saying that Price is the best goal tender, Subban is the best young defender, or that Pacioretty is a 50 goal scorer.

I think you need to relax, and maybe take a break from the computer. Is it lunch yet?

You can't, but you can find one from a disgruntled, trollish Leafs fan who thinks Grabo is better than any Hab.
- Blackstrom2

You missed the part that the Habs finished with the 3rd worst record in the league. That's an indication of a very bad team. Considering they are among the oldest groups in the league (Leafs being the youngest), I'd say they're about another 5 years away from the playoffs.

Why? It's a free country. Burke and I agree. Most Leafs fans would agree.

that's the problem.
