Did Ray Ferraro tell you that?

My eyes told me that. I watched Elmer play a lot of hockey in the Coliseum after we acquired him for Rick Lanz. Jim had a lot of skill but he was very soft in his own end.

Yeahno, I have not said a word about MacEwen since the day he was waived. :eh:

As for the possibility of Sharks waiving Gadjovich, I said this:

Strangelove wrote: Wed Nov 03, 2021 1:05 pm So I notice the Sharks had 6 regulars out last night due to covid protocol and a couple of others out with injuries.

Yet Gadjovich was still a healthy scratch. :sly:

He's been a healthy scratch in 6 of the 9 games with San Jose...

It's just a matter of time until he's back on waivers and I think, unlike Lind, Nucks would re-claim Gad given the opportunity.

What's the big deal here?

Gadjovich's ceiling is solid 4th liner if he continues to improve his skating.

Some here have their panties in a bigger bunch than Roseanne Barr watching an episode of The Conners... over this??

Good Lord people, try to relax lol.

When the team is 100% healthy, Chase is out of the lineup...
Was I not being logical there?

I also said: "it was clearly a mistake to try to sneak Gadjovich through waivers".

Surely everyone here knows by now that I love gritty players.

Even 4th-line-ceiling guys like Gadjovich and MacEwen.

I've never been much of a Green fan... but note that after the waiving of those two players I started screaming for his head.

Also notice I was pushing hard for picking up Kyle Clifford on waivers.

Curm, I know you're one of the many frustrated fans out there, but please don't take it out on a

... perfectly innocent Strangelove. :mrgreen:
Lol, maybe Donny's right, on MacEwen anyway, but Gadjovich isn't going on waivers any time soon, he's already contributing on the 4th line most nights for a team higher in the standings than the Canucks. Sharks also know he'd never clear.

Canucks should nab Nathan Bastian off waivers, I'd rather have him than Chiasson, Dowling, or Lammikko in the lineup.

Well he's been a healthy scratch a lot, just saying.

He's basically their 13th forward at this point.

So you now understand and appreciate my logic Re:Gad at the time of that post?

BTW I forgive you for misquoting me Re: MacEwen.

One never knows, one merely guesses.

Ray Ferraro when playing for the Portland Winterhawks was called Rag Ferraro by his teammates because he wouldn’t shut up, stop “ragging”, yapping on the ice only to have teammates come to his rescue. They used to hang tampons in his stall
