OT: Camalleri

[Richie Daggers Crime]

What the Isles really need is to get smaller and softer.

Oooh, didn't know this. Hmm, I would LOVE to know who those 7 teams are, lol. Yes, I also agree the Isles were one of them.

Umm, what we NEED is more scoring from another line other than Moulson-Tavares-Okposo. If you are still worried about size at this point you are having a Napoleon complex...

I've seen a lot of *****ing about this teams lack of snarl, size and physical play... rightfully so. The Isles need more skill, for sure. But, they don't need to get smaller and softer to do it. Two steps backwards.

He had a trade clause that wouldn't allow him to be traded to 7 teams in the NHL, I would bet good money one of them was NYI.

I love it when people just spout about "intangibles" negative or positive with no proof. Read up on his days in Montreal.

We will see his attitude in an environment like Calgary. Although not perfect, it's a lot better than what's going on in Montreal. You forget that although they are some of the most respectful and knowledgeable hockey fans, Habs fans and media tend to rip their players unfairly (see Carey Price). The fact that Cami spoke out on the locker room didn't help at all with management or the fan base. The dude was frustrated and couldn't take it anymore, I wish we saw some of that out of anyone but our first line and DP.
