I can't believe how badly the Blues goaltending has totally abandoned them, and how their offense has dried up.

This is one of the best things that has happened during the short season...

Elliot sucks. Last year was an example of a one year wonder.

Offense dried up? Kessel for...

Elliot sucks, Tarasenko and Andy MacDonald injuries are pretty big.

Did I say that??? Fact is strickland didn't say he asked for a trade, all he said was that there is a 12 team list (as per his NMC) that he's agree to go to.

Because he asked for a trade. Why would Strickland randomly bring up the 12 team list unless he asked for a trade? That's like saying "Komisarek counts as a 4.5 million dollar cap hit" out of the blue. Unless he asked for a trade, which he clearly did because he's not playing, it's irrelevant and Strickland isn't an idiot who just randomly comes up with crap for no good reason.

That isn't saying that he asked for a trade. People are inferring that strickland said he asked for a trade, but he never said that.

Why would Strickland say "he'd waive to go anywhere because he wants to play". Just for fun?

He asked for a trade. Accept it.

honestly, why is this even a big issue?
even if it wasnt reported, the logical assumption is that he wants to play and if the leafs arent going to play him then he'd want to play elsewhere

you're saying strickland said something (as a fact) based on an assumption. Where did he say specifically that he asked for a trade??

people are reporting he said something that he didnt.

Andy Strickland ‏@andystrickland
Mike Komisarek gave #Leafs a list of 12 teams he'd accept a trade to but I'm told he'd pretty much accept a trade anywhere. Wants to play
- AngryWhiteMale

ya he gives them that list each July 1st as part of his contract NTC.

yup, which is how the whole thing got started. He was asked the question if he had asked for a trade, or would welcome a trade. He said obviously I'd like to be playing, but that's not up to me, I can just be ready (or something like that)

then the "asked for a trade" stuff started.

Explain why Strickland would say this randomly, out of the blue, unless of course, Komisarek asked for a trade because he's not playing.

exactly...

all we've done in here is hope we give him away for anything, now it's being suggested he'd (or hypothesized) that he'd go anywhere, and everyone's freaking out.

Outside of his w-l record, Halak has got some Toskala numbers too. I agree with the injuries, Steen being hurt doesn't help either, but a 4-1 loss to the stars today.....only 8 goals in their last 6 gp.

Because he wants to play..... Unfortunately it doesn't say he asked for a trade. Assumption on your part.

explain to me why you can't post a link that says "Komi asked for a trade" - Andy Strickland.

Says the guy that says Strickland said, but can't provide evidence of such.

Yup, totally why an insider would say it. Just out of the blue. No reason whatsoever.

News Flash: Hockey players want to play hockey.

This just in, Komisarek wants to play hockey.

Damn, that's great insider information.
