Sorry for the rant but i dont like this deal, im not even a edmonton fan so I can imagine how they feel.
Yeah that really was the shocker of the trade deadline yesterday. I think everyone thought that Edmonton and Smyth would get a deal done. So I was shocked to see him shipped out. Being a Panther fan I'm still pretty ticked off that Keenan who was GM at the time didn't want to keep Luongo here and we basically only got Bryan Allen for him. Bertuzzi played a total of 7 games for us and Goalie Alex Auld is injured and done for the rest of the season requiring surgery. I'm so embarrassed to be a Panther fan right now. We have ownership who doesn't know anything about the sport and all he cares about is his other ventures with the Arena the Panthers play in and the money he's making off of that. No one shows up for the games and when they do, more than half is cheering on the opponent.
