He's too slow and plodding to be the kind of force the Isles need at the helm.paulundehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02538572950589706686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-55970412954081991312007-06-06T13:14:00.000-07:002007-06-06T13:14:00.000-07:00I wouldn't necessarily call Yashin "apathetic." It...I wouldn't necessarily call Yashin "apathetic." It's more like... he's just not that good. Above avergage to excellent wrist shot. But average to below average puck handling and skating skills. And extremely weak on the puck. You might be able to say he was apathetic toward improving himself in those areas needing it.<BR/><BR/>He a good 3rd line player worth maybe $2 million per for a team that already has enough grit.<BR/><BR/>Wang pulled the trigger on the buyout for one reason... 1st installments are due in about 3 weeks for season ticket subscriptions and, as Faux implied, reaction from the fan base to published reports that a buyout was NOT coming was less than positive. Wang figured that paying $17.6 million over eight years was better than paying $27 million over four years AND staring at even more empty seats than last year.Cincyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13896450802228164676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-68560073633469246512007-06-06T11:19:00.000-07:002007-06-06T11:19:00.000-07:00Faux writes: "(Don't look for a return anywhere no...Faux writes: "(Don't look for a return anywhere north of the border!)

It wasn't he fact that his skills have deteriorated, but that he has shown no evidence of a heart, is why the fans on LI have turned against him... Yashin clearly needs a change of scenery... Maybe, he'll end up in DC to play with his olympic linemate, Alex Ovechkin... There seemed to be some chemistry there, and perhaps AO's enthusiasm will rub off on the apathetic #79...Antzmarchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14831888545205166172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-57162743981242541662007-06-06T08:19:00.000-07:002007-06-06T08:19:00.000-07:00I rarely feel sorry for pro athlete's.
