Secondly, I am not a reporter - this is a blog. Third, I am not comparing my kids whinings to the contracts dealings. I was referring to his agent who is threatening to sue the team. I for one, was hoping that Eric would be back on the Caps roster and was disappointed when the Phoenix deal went down. He provided a much-needed veteran presence and nowhere was his dedication more apparent than in the playoffs. The point I was trying to make (based on the many posts and MSM pieces I have read on the issue) is that even though the deal did not go down in his favor and he took a significant paycut, all signs point to a <i>verbal agreement</i> between his camp and the Caps. Therefore, I am not a lawyer, but I don't think any legal action would result in much. And trust me, I can <i>completely relate</i> to what a pain in the rear it would be to relocate kids, move and everything else when plans change at the last minute. <br /><br />It is water below the bridge at this point and all his fans can do is wish him the best in Phoenix...Hockey Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145998303642741287.post-61678069172050609652010-09-16T13:49:06.749-07:002010-09-16T13:49:06.749-07:00It's one thing to be human and have a typo, we...It's one thing to be human and have a typo, we all do sometmies (see?). It's another thing to pass yourself off as some sort of "reporter" and misspell the last name of the very subject of your post (not just once, but in every mention of hisname). It shows how little she knows and/or cares about the subject - Belanger's contract brou.<br /><br />What reinforces that is the fact that she compares his contract dealings with her kids' whinings. This guy relied on what he was told by the Caps management and as a result, lost $1.1 million in salary, had to pull his kids out of school, break a lease, move his family way across the country and start all over again. Yeah, that's comparable to her kids' complaints.<br /><br />The point being - don't bother blogging about something if you aren't going to take the time to research it, and for f's sake, get to know the names of the players on your favorite team!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145998303642741287.post-78559092712870729542010-09-16T11:55:30.173-07:002010-09-16T11:55:30.173-07:00Dear Anonymous, you are infringing on my enjoyment...Dear Anonymous, you are infringing on my enjoyment of this blog.
