Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but I don't think Anton was destined for stardom. I'm not saying that because I don't like him, I'm saying that because of things I've noticed. First there was his stunt about not going to Albany when he was told to... and honestly, he there isn't anything really ... "outstanding" about watching him play on the ice either.

thats what im saying. before all of this happened he was improving so much and he's only 22!!!! now with all this he has screwed up his chances at ever playing again

Someone should have told him he can only throw tantrums AFTER he becomes a superstar, not before lol

Yeah, I like Anton, but the boy doesn't have the clout in the NHL to be able to pull what he did by not reporting to Albany & get away w/ it. He hasn't made that name for himself & now it's doubtful that he will make anything of himself in the NHL from here on out. It was a stupid move, period. Oh, & he needs to seriously fire his agent. What a moron.

I'm sorry to post this Steffie, but it looks like Anton is being shown the door. This is from today's N&O:

"One player who almost certainly won't be back is defenseman Anton Babchuk, a restricted free agent. Rutherford said he is offering the 23-year-old around the league for a second-round pick in June's draft."

Hahahahaha. No more Babs! Yessssssssssssssssss!

Apparently, JR didn't really appreciate Anton's snide little comment about wearing out the seat of his pants on the bench and I can't say I really blame him. It's become quite obvious that Anton doesn't want to be here if he can't be the star and that's not gonna happen. To be a team that can be SC contenders there has to be SOME sort of team chemistry off the ice so there can be chemistry between the lines on the ice and we can't have someone who is so caught up in himself if we want to try and go for it again this year or any years in the future.
As my best friend says: There is no "I" in team, but there is and "i" in 'meat pie'.....ROFLMAO

[kermelbar]

I like to point out that there is "me" in team. =.)

[canesgirl22]

I read that and it seriously makes me want to cry. I just want to go up to Babs and like smack him or something to make him realize what he is doing to himself

[wardo30]

There is also an "I" in "win"

[canesgirl22]

yall this sucks!!!!
