And sounded complementary in speaking about Prucha and Dawes. When it came to Prucha, in fact, they said something that I believe translated to: Prucha as of recently was not given the ice time to be successful. Therefore a change of scenery, with Don Maloney, a guy they said called Prucha one of his all time favorite Ranger guys, would be good.<BR/><BR/>It was refreshing. And I know you must not have been paying attention to the game, well at least not til your blood pressure settled, ;), but I thought he played v. well. Almost scored a few times too.kelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10263870665506009146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102291454818563145.post-71777994553798860972009-03-11T15:39:00.000-04:002009-03-11T15:39:00.000-04:00You're welcome! I had the same question. When I he...You're welcome! I had the same question. When I heard it was retired... I laughed "whhhhhaaaat?!" lol but turns out they kept the Jets retired numbers.<BR/><BR/>I agree. I do comment on other teams from time to time... but when you really don't follow someone or something that closely, it's hard to be a fair judge. With Prucha, this stuff is all over the place. "What happened to Petr Prucha?... He must be lazy... He must need a fire under his butt..." etc etc meanwhile that is the FURTHEST thing from reality. <BR/><BR/>I even saw one blog say that Prucha was almost sent to Hartford on a conditioning assignment because he was so out of shape.<BR/><BR/>-blink-<BR/><BR/>Most recently, I saw one blog say that they were really unsure of Prucha, and that Sather must have just threw in Prucha to get rid of him. The trade was really for, get this, Dawes and Kalinin.<BR/><BR/>I set that one straight. KALININ? That's what set me over the edge, lol.<BR/><BR/>That's why I (mostly) keep my mouth shut about the rest of the league. Would never want to come across like that.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04181684589030780235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102291454818563145.post-32316448972657550232009-03-11T09:41:00.000-04:002009-03-11T09:41:00.000-04:00I didn't have to look to hard for my answer. Thank...I didn't have to look to hard for my answer. Thanks Kerri!<BR/><BR/>Seriously all I know about the Jets from back in the day was Teemu Selanne and the White Out. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I'm not surprised we reacted similarly to their announcers. It's like, I know they have to study up stats and prepare, but I hate out and out speculation. <BR/><BR/>It would be like if commentators were to "assume" that Valiquette had a bad game because he let in 10 goals against Dallas, and go on and on about saying how he wasn't getting starts because of that last effort he had. Without knowing that the defense played a game of statue tag in that game and left him out to dry and the fact that that game had nothing to do with why he didn't get another start in a while.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps a bad example, but that's all I can do on this little sleep.kelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10263870665506009146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102291454818563145.post-69102299560064894872009-03-11T00:28:00.000-04:002009-03-11T00:28:00.000-04:00You heard those announcers too? Please. If you don...You heard those announcers too? <BR/><BR/>Please. If you don't know something, shut up about it. I don't get why these people bother to talk about things they don't understand. It's clear to anyone and everything that Prucha got an unfair shake here. Even if you thought he didn't deserve the ice time, there's not one question when it comes to his work ethic. Ask his teammates. Even ask the coach who scratched him so often.<BR/><BR/>-ahem- I'm sorry. But I was fuming mad when I heard that. They should shut up if they have no idea about something. <BR/><BR/>Also, Phoenix is the only relocated franchise to keep their old retired numbers. Thomas Steen's number 25 was retired by the Winnipeg Jets, thus the number was unavailable to Prucha.<BR/><BR/>As for number 73, IDK why Petr didn't go back to that. I'm not sure if he was just assigned a number, or if he had any preference.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04181684589030780235noreply@blogger.com
