Guess the ones saying this was just a $$$$ saving move were right. Had me kind of worried they weren't going to keep giving him a chance up in NHL

Uhhhh I think an "I told you so" is appropriate right about now.

Way to save $7,800.00 Dean Lombardi I'm sure it was worth the fact that Moulson didn't get 3 extra days to bond with his teammates and and couple team practices in. Nice work cheapo ;-) ... Hi taz :-)

Even upon Calder's return, I can see Moulson sticking with this team.

Does anyone else think that Moulson reminds you of a young Luc?

Pierroth said:

Wow, just 8 more trips and Matt's will earn a free trip to anywhere Southwest flies!

Puck U,
Lombardi is no Cheapo.
Ever wonder how much Blake & Handzus are getting paid.

Hi PU,
Wondering here if that was just a move by DL to impress AEG on his saving a few $$. Prob not but, just an idea to throw out there. Too bad Moulson missed the fun day with the Kings. Getting to know the team better wouldn't have hurt.

I'm wondering if it was a move by DL to impress AEG on that $$ saving. Prob. not, but it is a thought.

Puck U said:

Hmmm you're right Anthony, so with Blake and Handzus at 10 million, Cloutier, McCauley ... I see what you're saying, Lombardi is CHEAP and STUPID ... I get it ;-)

Just kidding I know Lombardi is saving that $8,000 for Cammalleri's raise in 2 year ... LOL

Moondoggie said:

It does kinda make you wonder. Personally, he never should have been sent down; he was playing very well. Glad to see him back!

Pierroth...nice, that was very funny....

Could it be that maybe Moulson was allowed to gather some things and do personal stuff in Manchester in preparation for a longer stay in LA.
Money saving move....how silly. Everybody acts like Lombardi is the village idiot.
Wake up people!

David said:

Sending Moulson to the East Coast for two days was asinine. The guy must feel like a ping pong ball. Did they not want Matt to "bond" with the team on Tuesday if he will be returned to Manchester in a couple of weeks? Nice move for the poor guy's psyche & confidence.

Why don't you bring up Cloutier while you're at it, you freakin morons!

anthony said:

Absolutely David.
Asinine things do happen when your name is Lombardi.
And they happen regularly.
