And then I notice that some guys like Jared Boll, Cody McLeod, Shane O'Brien, Theo Peckam, Ben Eager and Paul Bissonnette, just to name a few, have all more goals than Gomez.
If he scores before Sunday, so be it. I'll be happy for him. If the 'Scott Gomez Day' occurs on Sunday, I won't feel one bit bad (sad, ashamed, disappointed, disgusted) to see Habs fan cheer, scream, sing, laugh at or boo Scott Gomez. At a certain point, enough is enough! Hopefully, the organization will not dress him/send him down/trade him/ get rid of him before that actual date. If not, then go Fans go! Make your voices heard.
The day we'll stop talking about "class acts" and actually go with hockey players that can produce, we will be a better hockey team. The guy is paid to play hockey not to be an ambassador to the team. Clearly, it doesn't pleases him but it doesn't please us either. You are a public figure, expect the public to be somewhat dumb and/or funny depending and make all kinds of stuff. I know I would prefer Gomez to say to people "Go **** yourselves" and score from time to time. Just like I LOVE hearing Cole being sarcastic towards the boo-birds. THAT's character. And Cole can say and do whatever he can. 'Cause he's actually doing something out there.
given Gomez's personality, I wouldn't be surprised if he has a good laugh about the celebration, while sitting on his couch watching movies in a giddy haze...
frankly, we all deserve to enjoy the celebration and get a good laugh out of it... since it's obvious that we won't be getting any other positive emotions from his tenure in montreal, might as well enjoy what we can.
Image they had a _your name here_ day cause you can't seem to get on the right track at work? This **** is stupid.
thats the way it goes when a person is a celebrity in a way-
dont feel too sorry for him- all the millions he makes every year im sure cushions the Blow- Gomez did this to himself- he used to be somewhat gritty when he was sucessful(long time ago)- go to the net and all actually check and hit the opp some- he decided to quit that and play nothing but a bit of flash showing of his skating ability and playing no hit no contact perimeter play -oh well
Why is it his fault? Our GM was dumb enough to offer him 7m.
How about the fact that Gomez hasn't scored in almost a calendar year? Gomez could be making the league minimum and it would still be a massive failure on his part. The guy plays enough minutes at ES + PP to score a ****ing goal or even produce points at a somewhat respectable rate.
Gomez is at fault for sucking and the team/GM is at fault for still having him around.
The heist Gomez pulled off makes the "Brinks Job" look like small potatoes. If he were still a Ranger he'd be toiling away that contract in Connecticut.
I just don't understand how Gomez is getting outscored by guys who mostly play in Hamilton (ie Leblanc & St-Denis). I mean statistically-speaking it's almost an impossibility.

I really really hope he doesn't score his first at home and gets a patented sarcastic ovation from the crowd. That would be much more embarrassing than Gomez' goalless streak.
You have to have a serious self esteem issue to hope for someone to not succeed.
This is what it comes down to for me. And with internet technology I don't think this kinda stuff is good for anyone. There will always be sheep that pile on for whatever reason.
IDK. Years ago a professional athlete's relationship with the media was different. If they didn't read the newspaper they could separate themselves. But with the information age it's so different. An athlete is having a tough time and it's gonna be hard for them to escape.
Can't see anything good coming from this. It's too bad really.

I wouldn't go that far. Do you have any idea how bad it is for a player to not score a goal in a ****ing year long.. or something like 55 games? And we are not talking about goon that plays 4-6 minutes a game, we are talking about a guy that plays around 18 min a game, on the top 6, never skips a PP cannot put the puck in the net for 56 games. That is close to 1000 straight minutes of ice-time without a goal.
And in those 56 games, he had only 22 assists. So the theory that he's not supposed to score because he's a playmaker, it doesn't work either.

Maybe so. But i refuse to believe Gomez is feeling good about all of this. He does show effort on the ice. He just sucks. Plain and simple.
But its pretty immature to make fun of the guy for it. It sure doesn't live up to the image of our fan base as the most "knowledgeable" hockey fans around.
I'm definitely not a Gomez fan. I want him out. No doubt. But I blame our cheapskate owner, ball-less GM and incompetent coaching just as much as I blame Gomez. They have all played an equal part in creating this situation.
And I would absolutely love it if he scores that day. Would be great.
