Care to share? Dunno if the radio station has the link up anymore, but here's the text of Hawks announcer Pat Foley just tearing Alex Karpovtsev a new one (this was after the Hawks dumped him on the Islanders before the deadline in '04)..." This is a very happy day Troy (the Hawks Color guy). This is a very happy day for this Blackhawk fan because I am never again going to have to see Alexander Karpovtsev in a Blackhawk uniform. You know, Karpovtsev is actually a pretty good defenseman, I am going to qualify my comments by saying that he is a good defenseman (Video footage starts to play on Fox Sports Net Chicago) When he plays, and that is the rub. Because Alexander Karpovtsev looks for any excuse not to play and in his time in Chicago he is the worst excuse for a teammate that I have seen in my two decades of doing this job. A couple of examples: ten minutes before a warmup two weeks ago (Foley talking as Karpotvsev): My shoulder hurts..and forcing a young defenseman who didn't anticipate playing had to scurry into his uniform and dress in the game. He was ready to come back from an ankle injury earlier this season getting set to rejoin the lineup, had a collision in practice. (Foley talking as Karpotvsev): I have a concussion.Well Doctor Karpotvsev, always had an excuse, always milked the system. He came to the Blackhawks in a trade for Bryan McCabe, who has gone on to be an All Star in Toronto. Even before that, Bryan McCabe was a guy who cared and who tried. The Toronto Players, when that trade was made, we couldn't believe that they got Bryan McCabe for Dean Martin. Let me tell you something, Alexander Karpovtsev doesn't sing and when you are trying to bring along a young team, this is not the kind of veteran you want around young people in any way, shape or form. That deal was one of the worst deals in the history of the Chicago Blackhawks and when Mike Smith writes him memoirs about his time in Chicago, I have the title for that chapter. Disaster! So kudos to Bob Pulford and Dale Tallon for being able to get anything more than a role of tape for this overpaid, underachiever. Alexander Karpovtsev is now the New York Islanders problem and that will be his last National Hockey league stop. He basically in my opinion was a disgrace to the uniform when he was in Chicago. As he leaves Chicago, I have one feeling for Alexander Karpovtsev: Good Riddance!" FANTASY TEAMSHousatonic U. Dragons (NCFA Basketball): 16-6 (8-4 Conf.)--National Runner-UpJersey State U.
