ElCapitan 14 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 Schneider to the Habs "The Atlanta Thrashers have traded defenceman Mathieu Schneider to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for second and third round picks. Schneider previously played for the Canadiens from the 1989-90 season to the 1994-95 campaign. This season, the New York native has 4 goals and 11 assists in 44 games. The 39 year-old was selected in the third round (44th overall) of the 1987 NHL Entry Draft. A very well-traveled veteran, Schneider has had stints with the Canadiens, Islanders, Maple Leafs, Rangers, Kings, Red Wings, Ducks and Thrashers. Details to follow."

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 Good luck Matty. Always be a fan of his. I seriously doubt this does anything but help Montreals PP. Hey, isnt it funny though? Bobby and Matty reunited in Montreal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 Decent deal to help them QB their second unit. Looking at the stats it doesn't look like they've got any blue liners out there of use on the PP besides Markov. Although Schneid's is only lookin' at 4-11-15 in 44 games with the Thrashers, but that's a pretty bad situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 "From: Montreal, Canada" ? Canadiens fans, are some of the worst in the world. I'd have to believe a fan of another team, living in that city, would despise the Habs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 Good move on Gainey's part, in that at the very least hes showing the fans that hes being proactive in trying to stop the bleeding. They've still got plenty of other holes though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has to be a better situation than Atlanta. He's worked in a lot of cool cities over his career. Hey El Capitan, nice 60 Series. Any links to more pics of it?

The Secret 304 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 Canadiens fans, are some of the worst in the world. I'd have to believe a fan of another team, living in that city, would despise the Habs. You've got that right man. When I read that Schneider was going to Montreal I thought immediately about all the reHabs fans that will try to razz me with the talk of them winning the cup now... again. They are as bad if not worse then Maple Leafs fans. Stupids Habs fans rioted (Looted, burned cars, smashed things etc.) last year after barely making out of the 1st round of the playoffs. Thats just retarded. Isn't rioting what people do when they are angry in protest to make sure they are heard? Who riots to celebrate? I was in downtown Detroit for the both the 97 and 98 cups, in Detroit one the America's most dangerous cities and I only saw millions of happy fans celebrating and having fun... not breaking, or stealing or fighting... the opposite in fact. Anyway, I like Schnieder but I detest the Habs and their delusional fans.... sorry about your luck Schneids, you shouldn't have run to the Ducks for more money and you would have won more Cups.

egroen 384 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) That's a steep price to pay for Schneider -- nice job by the Thrashers. If this is an indicator -- defensemen will be going for premiums at the deadline. So ultimately Atlanta trades Brad Larsen, Ken Klee, and Chad Painchaud for a 2nd and 3rd round pick. Not bad for a bunch of scrubs. Edited February 16, 2009 by egroen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But now he is in the spotlight, and under the microscope in Montreal. He's been there before, he knows what it's all about. If Schneider got a 2nd and a 3rd, I can't wait for Kaberle & Kubina to get moved. Should be a good haul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
