Weekes Head Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Heh, speak of the devil... Phoenix needs goaltending, this could be a match made in heaven. Then again, Aebischer is garbage, so, I wouldn't hold my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier this offseason, I actually thought there was the possibility that Clemmensen might be picked up by Phoenix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestevens Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Earlier this offseason, I actually thought there was the possibility that Clemmensen might be picked up by Phoenix. I actually thought the Coyotes would have tried to pick him up with adecent paying contract. Theyre always struggling. Looks like Wayne might have a mickey mouse organization.

Weekes Head Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 If he's garbage, you probably should hold your breath. Either, a) you don't think he's garbage or b) you're making fun of me because garbage is stinky. ...I'm going on very little sleep for over three weeks now and I really am on the verge of spontaneous combustion, so you might want to point it out for me.

aylbert Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Aebischer has NHL experience, Clemmer has experience writing articles about not having NHL Experience. I can see why Coyotees went with him. Whats Belfour/Cujo up to? Retiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Devil Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 It seems as if I am the anti-Triumph! A player needs to do a lot right to get on his good list, whereas for me it takes a lot for a player to get placed in my doghouse. When I lived in Denver, Aebby was the backup to Roy. Saw a lot of good in his play and thought he'd be pretty successful. Haven't seen a lot of him since he/I left Colorado, but I do know his star has fallen in a big way. If someone on the 'Yotes staff can minimize his deficiencies, this could work out very well for them since I think he can be a successful NHL goaltender.

Devil Dan 56 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Phoenix is going to start the season with Tellqvist and Aebischer in goal? Wow. So, Wayne spent the last 11 years of his playing career Cupless, and now has this duo of back-ups in net. It would be awful poetic for the Pens to put in 13 goals on them, leading Crosby to comment on how bad the team is by comparing it to, oh jeez, i don't know.... a cartoon character of some sort.

halfsharkalligatorhalfman Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 beggers can't be choosers. aebischer will be ok. But i doubt Phoenix comes anywhere close to making the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) beggers can't be choosers. aebischer will be ok. But i doubt Phoenix comes anywhere close to making the playoffs. they should be the worst team in the league this year, and it won't even be close. methinks Phoenix is getting ready for Tavares. also GA Devil, Aebischer played okay for the Avs, but he was absolutely brutal for the Habs. He's a backup goalie. Edited July 20, 2007 by Triumph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatansDevils Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 So I am guessing now Cujo is gone from the Coyotes? Would have liked him to back up Brodeur instead of Weeks. Aebischer could be the starter for the Coyotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
