MacK_Attack 108 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 I'm left to wonder if teams will pass on him with hopes that he hits re-entry waivers. I'm wondering if a team like Dallas or Calgary might be looking at him to have on the bench in the playoffs, but they would probably look to him on re-entry waivers.

ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 My god, I can't believe some of the ******* comments I've read here. The game means the WORLD to Legace and because he expresses what he's REALLY feeling (and other players hide) he deserves to be burned at the stake? Man, give the guy a break, he might seriously suffer from depression or a bipolar disorder. He's a GOOD goalie and I think the Kings would be a good fit (again).

Osgood said the wrong thing too when he said he's felt good since coming back from injury. NHL goalies must find a middle ground with their statements to please internet forums.

clutchngrab 12 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 Hide the rope. and the razorblades. Seriously, did you see him on the bench after the wings he was yanked the other night? I swear to god he was in a catatonic state. He's a serious mental case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings_Toledo 233 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 Last time they played the Wings and he got yanked he basically took a nap on the bench. A team player doesn't do that, even if you're not having a good night. He's way past his prime and he's lucky to be in the minors if another NHL team doesn't take a chance on him.

RedWingAbner 13 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 The thing that epitomizes Legace to me is at the All-Star game a few years back. It was his first season in St. Louis; the broadcasters had him mic'd up. A shot from a big bomber (maybe Souray?) wizzed past him and went wide. Paraphrasing: The announcers said, "What'd that look like to you, Manny" Manny: "I don't know. I close my eyes on shots like that and just hope it hits me." Announcers: (laughing) "Do you do that often?" Manny: "It's my first reflex on hard shots to close my eyes; I've just always done it." I remember thinking, WTF.

Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) Millbury thinks the wings should pick him up because they brought back Hasek and Osgood. http://www.freep.com/article/20090206/SPOR...6076/1053/rss17 Milbury said the Wing's goaltending is lacking, Some Guy From The Freep is the one who connected the dots. I'm sure everyone here can sort out the differences between Hasek and Osgood versus Legace in terms of ability and career accomplishments.

TheWestWing 71 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) Uhhh....that was my point. The Caps have the 4th worst waiver wire position. He won't be left available when they'd have a shot at him. Talk about posting nothing... ditto Why in the f*** dont you all go sodomize yourselves. Edit: Go ahead and ban me Matt - these assholes cant keep to a ******* topic w/o bashing someone's opinion.

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 Definitely feel bad for him. He's done real well for them since they acquired him, but every goal he let in against us on Monday was terrible and he alone bears the blame for them. I remember when he was mic'd up for the All-Star game last year he did have this "Eeyore" kind of attitude where he either didn't take things seriously or became over-critical of himself. If he was my teammate, I'd feel for him and try my best to help him, but that kind of defeatism would be a blackhole to the rest of the team. That's the crux of it. Goaltending isn't a career for persons with anything but a solid emotional foundation. Legace is actually capable of being an excellent goalie when his emotions aren't clouding his play. He's kind of the opposite of Osgood in that sense. Ozzy has a clear head that some might argue is his greatest strength. Emotions seem to be Legace's Achilles Heel. I definitely empathize with the guy... no one gets to chose their psychological predisposition. He would really benefit from some form of counseling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 A fact long forgotten: "Prior to being selected by the Whalers, Legace played in the OHL with the Niagara Falls Thunder and in the Roller Hockey League RHI for the Toronto Planets". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisdetroit 189 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 I'm not misinterpreting anything. I read the quote and know exactly what he said. The fact of the matter is this isn't the first time these types of comments have come out of Manny's mouth. Most Wings fans aren't as focused on Legace anymore since he's been ushered out of Detroit, but these types of comments are still coming from Manny....and way more often than they should. I most certainly wasn't changing the context of his quotation, because this isn't the first time he's said something like this. If it was, that would be a different story and I wouldn't have stated it like I did. My point is that making comments like, "I was the worst player in the league tonight" and "if we (the Wings) get eliminated from the playoffs, its because of me" too often absolutely sends the wrong message. ....And that's why he was placed on waivers. Bulls***. You said that he said that he was the worst player in the league. That is NOT what he said. Regardless of what he said in the past, he said on Monday that he was the worst player that night. How on earth do you claim that you are not misinterpreting what he said? I'll bet you voted for Nobama too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stormboy 47 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 Why in the f*** dont you all go sodomize yourselves. Edit: Go ahead and ban me Matt - these assholes cant keep to a ******* topic w/o bashing someone's opinion. They know little of the game and even less on how to act civilized. it is not my desire to get into conflicts on this forum, but it was funny to me that some guy quoted your post saying "talk about saying nothing" and then someone quoted that post saying only "ditto." how is saying, in effect, "i want to say something that someone else already said," not saying nothing? ...which is ironic because he was seconding a comment which bashed someone else for not saying anything. it was also interesting that NFK's original "talk about posting nothing..." comment contributed absolutely zero to the conversation. your comment may (or may not) have gone with out (explicitly) saying. obviously, it depends on whether teams with better waiver position want him. still, there were suggestions, at least in the article, that he might report to the AHL affiliate, meaning NO one, not the caps nor the wings nor the sharks nor boston (the teams, i would guess, who have the lowest waiver positions) would claim him, which suggests that teams lower than the caps may or may not take him, meaning there is a possibility that he could still be available to the caps. either way, your post was at least directed towards the topic. to that end (talking about the topic, i mean), i honestly feel bad for manny, at least on a personal level. the question of whether or not he's an NHL caliber goalie i think has been answered, and in some ways is still being answered. how many starting goalies have there been in the history of the NHL that have not won cups? the vast majority, it would seem. because manny does not seem to have what it take to win a cup, does that mean that he is NOT worthy of being an NHL starting goalie? that's debatable. he's gotten contracts, which means NHL clubs deem him better than their other available options (which, i'm sure, include thousands of goalies across north america and the world who would love to play in the NHL). now he has put on waivers. maybe his time is just...done. he had his shot and couldn't live up to it. either way, on a personal level, i feel bad for the guy. i am generally outspoken about my own failures, so i feel like i can identify with him. it's one of those cyclical things where you say, "i'm awful," then you think, "since i said i'm awful, no one is going to trust me or want me," which then of course makes you think, "wow, i'm awful." maybe someone with that mindset can't be an NHL goalie. i still feel ******* bad for the guy.

Yeahhh because apparently the Republicans raping your country without lube for 8 long, painful years isn't reason enough to vote for a Dem, regardless of the fact that the Dem in question is the single most intelligent, progressive person to run for office in the last 20 years. How the hell can a Republican argue with anyone about interpreting the meaning from a piece of writing when their party actively molests the constitution and proudly trumpets ignorance and stupidity at every opportunity?
