iamtheprodigy Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Oh well, there goes that idea. Edit: Or not? Thanks for lying, OP. No such post on ANA twitter feed.

Devils731 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) No it's not. This is why things need links. Ana twitter has nothing on it. Edited January 18, 2013 by Devils731 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of his goal #'s his whole career are in the teens. Frankly, I'd rather take a shot with Gomez as 3rd or 4th line center compared what we have now. Worst case scenario we waive him.

Triumph Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Free talent is hard to get, and every team thinks they can turn around a former All-Star. Remember the Habs traded for him because centers are so hard to find to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghdi Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm just amazed that there are so many teams interested in this guy... I'm not surprised. Lots of teams need help down the middle. Yes, he disappeared in Montreal. It's Montreal though. That's the pressure cooker of the NHL. The Blues, a cup contender, gave Wade Redden a shot. Gomez is 33 and could very well find his game. He could be a steal on the cheap if he can find the right fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 It is telling that everyone and their grandmother is rushing to sign Gomez and there hasn't been one peep on the Sykora front, after all the kvetching over our not signing him.

Good point. No one knows what the status on Sykora is. Haven't even heard or seen his name for over a week it seems. Since the day his agent came out and said Petr will be playing in the NHL this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEWHistory Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Oh well, there goes that idea. Edit: Or not? Thanks for lying, OP. No such post on ANA twitter feed. TG confirms that Devils are interested in Gomez still. The OP didn't lie, he just handled this post incredibly sloppily. My guess is that he read the article on Yahoo sports that has this link in it: https://mobile.twitter.com/RealKyper/status/292673809763401728#!/RealKyper/status/292673809763401728 Apparently the Ducks and Sharks have or had expressed interested in Gomez. I'd suggest the OP be more careful in both reading, repeating, and posting in the future, but I doubt there was any malicious intent here bud.

Devils731 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 The OP says confirmed by team twitter. Some guy created a tweet saying Gomez was signed and Ana team twitter confirmed it but people didn't actually check the teams twitter to verify the guys tweet was real.

lucifer91 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 You know i wonder if the players (gomez & redden) have a handshake agreement with their prior teams that they would buy them out as long as they went out west Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest the OP be more careful in both reading, repeating, and posting in the future, but I doubt there was any malicious intent here bud. Alright first of all, that tweet and article came more than a full day after this thread was posted, so you're completely wrong about that. Second of all, the original post pre-edit simply said "Gomez to Ducks" in the title and "per team twitter" inside, implying that the Ducks official team twitter account had tweeted confirmation that Gomez was signed. I typed up my original reply without checking twitter, because I just assumed it was true. Then I decided to go read the tweet myself only to see that no such tweet existed on the Ducks' twitter, and I didn't see any other reliable hockey people confirming Gomez was signed either. So I came back to edit my post after. So yes, as far as I'm concerned, OP did blatantly lie twice in the original post - first by saying that Gomez to Ducks was official when it wasn't (and still isn't) and second by saying that the Ducks twitter account confirmed this, which it did not. A few minutes later he edited in "not official", but that doesn't make it okay. What really happened was either: A) OP saw a tweet from one of the many BS " hockey insider" rumor-mongering Twitter accounts and wanted to be the first one to announce that Gomez was signed here, or B) He just wanted to mess with everyone by posting a fake signing. Either way, this thread sucks. Next time, make sure you understand what actually happened before you try to lecture me about calling out the OP's BS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
