Ribeiro and a 2008 6th rounder for Niinimaa and a 2007 5th rounder.

Nooooooooooooooooo!

trenton1 · 09-30-2006, 05:48 PM

Damn, he was half the fun.

Now I have to hate Markov even more, though I doubt that's possible. Ninnimaa will probably be hated in Montreal, but at least they can avoid using Traverse.

TSN's got it too; http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=179424&hubname=nhl

I am not sure how I feel about this. Ribero is a player I love to hate. I was gald that the Habs had D problems and was hoping they would sink a little before they did something about it.

Did the play of Latandresse force Gaineys hand into opening a roster spot? Montreal are looking very weak at centre.

TwineTickler · 09-30-2006, 05:51 PM

I love to hate Ribeiro.. I'll have to find another guy on the Habs to loathe..

Plekanec is probably better suited for their 2nd line anyway.

I have mixed feelings. I loved hating Ribeiro, but as much as I despise everything Hab-related, an original six franchise and true hockey town deserves better than a ****stain like him.

why would you hate Markov?

Rookie Chargers · 09-30-2006, 05:58 PM

On their board I think they are about to ask Gainey to sign Gingras.

Lady Rhian · 09-30-2006, 06:01 PM

That doesn't surprise me. I am surprised he wasn't traded long before this, to be honest with you.

Damn, nugs has to change his avatar back to Sammy again.

Kostitsyn, too, from what I have read. It was time for the Habs to move him, he wasn't as effective in Montreal as he once was. Still, he was fun to make fun of, damn, all the hatred will now be forced onto Sammy.

I can't fully answer without a war breaking out, because he's loved by most Habs fans. I just don't like his style. He's got talent, no question, but I don't like him.

BubbaBoot · 09-30-2006, 07:06 PM

Slight edge to the Habs if Niinimaa can return to pre-lockout form.

Go,Go, BlackN'Gold* · 09-30-2006, 07:19 PM

At least Boynton will get another shot at Ratboy now

Phousse · 09-30-2006, 07:23 PM

Does this mean you guys will hate the Habs 0.00000000000000001% less now?

No way, there's still Markov and Sammy to hate.

On the one hand I'm thrilled we no longer have to see Ribeiro's histrionics and dramatics and sleezy little face on a regular basis but on the other hand I'll miss making fun of him -- he made it so darn easy. I wonder if he'll be "Stronger" in Dallas?

After the first game against the Habs we should have a poll on "who is the most disliked Hab now?" Hopefully someone will fill Ribs' skates for us.

Go,Go, BlackN'Gold* · 09-30-2006, 07:47 PM

I wanna see what happens if he shows up in Dallas wearing that lovely pink shirt lol

"Hey! Pink Shirt! We don't take kindly to your folk around here!"

Marc008 · 09-30-2006, 07:57 PM

Well I know that the Habs really needed a D man but I dont think that Niinimaa is the answer and if you consider who they traded to get Niinimma in the first place dosent compare to Ribeiro as much as I hate Ribeiro I think that maybe playing in Dallas will help him get his carrer back on track and the Habs will end up regretting this move.

NO

Lady Rhian · 09-30-2006, 08:12 PM

Imagine Morrow, Modanno, and Zubby putting up with Ribiero's antics?

I'm wondering who will be the first player Ribbies gets into a fight with at practice.

nhlbruin · 09-30-2006, 08:27 PM

Texas?!?! Why only steers and Ribeiros come from Texas! And you don't look like no steer to me, boy!
