Richmond trades Dennis Sicard to Huntsville for Row and the rights to Tuomi

[richdawg81]

i got a email from the gades stating that he needed someone to take care of his great dane for the rest of the season cuz the apartment where he is does not allow dogs so as far as i know he is here

[richdawg81]

well he aint playin tonight so i guess he could have been called up

[RiverDogs]

if thats the case, the trade was worthless. we lost our best player and got nothing for it. dang

[puckfrk]

Row got called up so he's not coming and with the earlier trade involving Needham and the rights to Tuomi,Harvie is 0 for 2.It's not like he didn't know these guys weren't coming.Decisions on call ups and going to Europe to play are not made at the last minute.Harvie has a track record of dumping enforcers that are fan faves(Mitchell,Goody,Tippen,Needham,Sicard)and I'm not including guys from the original Gades.My guess is the Gades will not be back next year and when they do return will be under new ownership.

What a real shame. All the best to Sicard in Huntsville - perhaps he would consider returnig if under new ownership. Doubt it.

[RiverDogs]

harvie ran the team into the ground

After everything that I have read this was a dumb move for us in Richmond. It is a sad day for us in Richmond. I wish that Allan would have come out and said to everyone that he did not want to bring the team back to Richmond next year and that this was going to be the last year that the Renegades were going to here. Instead he goes and trades off the fan favorite for nothing....this is the second time this year we get the rights to Tuomi and I feel like Harvie KNEW that ROW was never going to come here this year...This sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i got to see the gades play our antz last night. it was a great game to watch as both teams put on a good show. unfortunately for the gades they met our new goalie who has been awesome his first two games. the antz fans also missed seeing sicard as we always looked forward to watching him tangle with one of our players. there were also some gades fans in attendance which is always good to see. i hope we don't lose the gades, they are a fun bunch to watch.

good luck gades,
