For Nathan Horton. Source to follow.

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

You ****ers.
Now I have to completely re-do my Sabres articles I wrote. -
Re: Savard traded to FLA
Actually it's Wideman, TSN confirmed.
The Florida Panthers have parted ways with Nathan Horton, sending the forward to the Boston Bruins. Horton along with forward Gregory Campbell are leaving Florida, while defenceman Dennis Wideman, the 15th overall pick in this year's NHL Entry Draft and another draft pick are heading to Florida.
Savard is on the block though...Last edited by The King; 06-22-2010, 01:19 PM.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"

Re: Wideman traded to FLA
I guess an interesting note to this was while the rumors of Horton to Buffalo were swirling, it was said in the media that Horton and Kaleta pretty much hate each other. Should make next season more interesting anyways.Comment

Re: Wideman traded to FLA
I do think the Bruins will stay active this week. They pretty much know they're getting Seguin, and we dont need Bergeron, Savy and Krejci.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"

Seems like a good trade for Boston.Comment

Re: Wideman traded to FLA
Seems like a great trade. Boychuck proved he's NHL talent last year. Seidenberg is back and McQuaid played solid in the post season and while he wasnt a stand out he didnt make mistakes looks like Wideman is the odd man out.Originally posted by THATHURMANATORI remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside.

A lot of people on the Boston sports station think that the Sabres want Boychuck.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"

Re: Wideman traded to FLA
I'm not saying this because Boston got him, but just saying what I found when digging around a little bit for something I was writing.
One thing that has seriously dogged Horton throughout his career has been his work ethic or motivation. From what I've read, he sounded like a better version of Drew Stafford. Someone who can play, but disappears for long stretches.Comment

Re: Wideman traded to FLA
I would think it is hard to be motivated playing on Florida. I think you will see a total different player next season. I think the Bruins just got a lot better. He has a manageable contract, grit, can score, and huge eyebrows. Isn't that what you look for in a player?Last edited by TheGhostofJimKelly; 06-22-2010, 03:11 PM.Comment
