What happened My man Michael Ryder got hosed by the NHL and Andrew Raycroft.
Am I the only one that thinks that Ryder got hosed?

I'm with ya even though i'm not a habs fan 

[bassjunky]

Im a little late on this one, but I agree. Ryder was the man. I not really a habs fan either, but you gotta call it as you see it.

I live in Peterborough Ontario and was lucky enuff to watch his Brother play all last year for the Peterborough Petes. That kid has some serious skills and will be in the NHL one day really soon

[synergyboy10]

hey a kid that i have played with play for the petes. ive have played my share of hockey with pros, semis, junior, college players and he is by far one of the best kids i have ever played with.  p. kaleta my sis dates his bro

[bassjunky]

Your kidding me, we call him St.Patrick he's excellent. He really knows how to throw his weight around with no regaurd for his own body. Not to mention he has a little bit of a scoring touch

[synergyboy10]

he was voted hardest hitter his rookie year and i think but not to sure but i think ohl rookie of the year to. if not he was in the running.

[bassjunky]

He is easily the most popular player in Peterborough. I see tons of Kids wearing his jersey. Me I still wear my Domi Jersey.

For those who dont know the Peterborough Petes (OHL) have put more players and coaches into the NHL then any other junior team. here is a short list

Scotty Bowman
Roger Nilson
Dick Todd
Steve Yszerman
Chris Pronger
Tie Domi
Mike Recchi

not to mention the Great one himself Wayne Gretzky (even if it was only for a game or two)

Peterborough City is also know for its NHL alumni. Steve Chaison (Detroit, Deceased), Corey Perry (London Knights), Mike Fischer (Ottawa) NOt to mention one of your Sabres Jay McKee.
