Hurry over to RMNB for the full interview.YIPES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStraw Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Double wow. Apparently this was round 2. Round 1:http://www.russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2012/08/20/michal-neuvirth-i-advised-vokoun-to-go-to-the-penguins-holtby-is-my-weakest-competition-yet/Capitals goalie Michal Neuvirth spoke to the Czech website iSport.Cz on Monday, and boy oh boy did he have some fascinating opinions to share. Talking with František Suchan, Neuvirth departed from the meek personality he’s cultivated since joining the Capitals in ’08-’09 and spoke with remarkable candor about a wide range of topics. We’d like to direct your attention to his quotes on the goalie situation in D.C.— both last season and in the future. Neuvy says he considersBraden Holtby his “weakest competition” since he’s been in D.C., expresses his frustration over always being the “bridesmaid” in net, and admits that he urged Tomas Vokoun to sign with the Pittsburgh PenguinsI wouldn't have thought it possible that someone could make Bryz look almost normal.

flyercanuck Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Ya, Hunter got them as far as they ever went in the OV era...you wouldn't want him back. Other than that, he's choiring to the preacher in your first post.In the second post he just sounds like...well ya, a Brydiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertmega Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I hope Holtby gets the nod out of training camp. I mean, I like his honesty, but damn son win something before talking like that. SMH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 We shall see, but I think Holtby is the best goalie in that org by far. Neuvirth was not this weird as a kid in Windsor, something in that DC water or something...lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radoran Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Bush I was likely the last of the classic, Northeastern Republican - fiscally conservative and socially (more) accepting - that are going to be seen.Bush II was the biggest diasaster the country had seen since Hoover - if not beyond.

mojo1917 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I was a big george hw bush fanthought his son was a lot of bluster and not detail oriented enough to manage his team i thought he was a poor president.wish too that obama would have been better, especially the first 2 years, he really missed his opportunity with the ACA by leaving the creation of it in the hands of the congressional leadership. what a waste.
