Wingzman91 134 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 Didn't he get beat up by DiPietro several years ago? I think when they meet, Montoya will win the rematch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wingzman91 134 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 I love this line from the TSN article: "Last week, Rick DiPietro went down with face and knee injuries after engaging in a fight with Brent Johnson of the Pittsburgh Penguins." LOL, I only saw 1 hit, DiPi is way too soft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 Hording all the goalies. It's a smart move. Supply and Demand. Their plan is to get all the goalies then trade one each for a star player each since every team will need a goalie. 1 Drake_Marcus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragonballgtz 273 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 I didn't know he was still playing hockey. I remember him getting a lot of hype but I guess it hasn't worked out so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted February 10, 2011 IIRC Montoya had a really bad hand injury that derailed his career for quite some time. He used to be a blue-chip prospect in the Rangers' system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
