Grabovski Less than Excited

[Satan81]

Upon being bought out, Grabovski voiced his reaction...with the help of some f bombs, and lashed out on the coaching staff for lack of support.

Just google "Grabovski". You'll see some direct quotes.

...think he needs a hug?

He needs to grow up. He got all that money, and just like so many other players who sign for big money (but don't have the talent to merit that contract), he became a floater. He skated around collecting his money and never put forth much effort.

Sounds like he took a few shots at Kitty, probably because Carlyle demands work, even if you aren't producing.

That wasn't the case here at all!

Carlyle doghoused him for no reason right from the get-go when he became coach. Grabo's numbers dropped because he was constantly being used in a defensive and checking role, and primarily taking defensive zone faceoffs. His work ethic was never the problem. Randy Carlyle's immediate judgment of him was the problem.

He'll look good in a Sabre jersey if they decide to pursue him after 12 noon today.

[ravens_creed]

He'll look good anywhere, he's a decent player.

Sounds like Ballard in Vancouver. Pretty sure Vigneault was convinced Keith got off the plane, slept with AV's wife and then reported to the team. It was brutal to watch. Sad part is, Tortorella would be a great coach for Ballard. Oh well. Grabo will land on his feet.

I think AV sent Torts and email with a subject line of Bench Ballard prior to him getting bought out

For the few hours before he signed in Minnesota, I kept giggling at the thought of him signing with the Rags so he can watch games at MSG.

The only thing missing from Grabovski's rant there was an invitation to fight Carlyle in the streets like he put there with the Kostitsyns a couple years ago. That was CLASSIC!
