Noted. So what happens when that trade is actually announced, do I get some duxcup worship?
- mykokes

yes, but only if you are never heard from again.

balls in your court

? Parenteau wasn't it?
- Big_Lightnin

yes, but O'Reilly scored as well, just on the wrong net

I ran into duxcup yesterday on the Anaheim thread. He had nothing new for us.

Okay, you clearly don't know who Andy Strickland is or give him any credit for being a legit insider.
- Two_For_Truth

you clearly don't know anything about journalism if you don't believe what I just suggested is not only widely used, but accepted technique.

Pay more attention to how often you see things worded that way.

He didn't say anything untrue. I'm not saying he said anything untrue. You are saying he said something he didn't say. Something he went out of his way NOT to say.

they did not give him credit on the box score...

(haven't seen highlights)

Focus your efforts right, and you'd make a terrific troll.....I mean that as a compliment....you've managed to keep the discussion going for another 4 pages....

What a pass by Seguin

Just watched it, commentators missed it the first time, kept sayin Foligno, but nope, RoR tipped it in.

I did, but was told my nickname was .......anti-religionistTM
- mykokes

People are so retarded when it comes to religion. I liked "the Nazmanian devil" cuz he's got a nasty side. As long as we don't call him alladin I think it's fine.. I heard someone say kadri went jihad on Long Island, thought that was pretty insensitive.

I prefer to use my powers for good rather than evil... for now.

Again, you're treating Strickland like he's hockeyyinsiderr...

wasn't that I was the one who would have a problem with the name... just that those who would have a problem with it, tend to blow things out of proportion.


get it? see what I did there?

We all know who he is.....he deserves no credit.

Legit.

Don't need him.

Cox is a more respected sports writer than Strickland (by his peers) and he does the same thing all the time.

It's what writers do. I'm not slandering him. You are naive if you think otherwise.

It's called protecting sources as well as not overexposing the people who you write about. But they give up just enough information that if you're not naive enough to miss it, that it's easy to read between the lines.

Don't need him either.

Hamilton would be exactly the type of defence man Carlye would love to have. Sure we don't need him, but we don't need to ever win the cup again either. We can just keep tagging along being the lowly leafs pretending to be relevant.

that's sweet of him to think of Komisarek like that.

Except, here's the thing - suggesting Komisarek has, or will, ask for a trade, and outright saying he asked for a trade, have the exact same result as far as Komisarek is concerned. He spent all day getting questions from reporters about Andy Stickland's tweet - so much so that he mentioned him directly. He gets asked the exact same questions either way.

Strickland gains nothing from not coming out and saying what he knows if he knows it. But he doesn't KNOW it, so he suggests it in hopes that people who want to also be in the know will take what he's suggested as fact and run with it.

no one was shy about saying Heatly asked for a trade when they knew he did. If Strickland knew for a fact Komi asked for a trade, he'd have said so.

We agree that Stickland's intent is for us to believe Komisarek asked for a trade... but Strickland has no evidence it's happened yet. If he did, he'd have said it's happened.

Except that it leaves the window open for Komisarek to deny the rumors and have all the naive people believe him whereas if Strickland lays out all the details, he burns some bridges for no good reason.

Komisarek, who has been a healthy scratch for the past 14 games, discussed the report with the media on Sunday.

"I'm not going to be commenting on what someone in St. Louis said so I don't even know the guy or why he said that," said Komisarek. "So I know the media types will like to say, 'A report, an anonymous report,' I'm curious to see where you guys get your stuff. That's all I can say at this time."

Komisarek did suggest that he was amused by the flurry of interest in him.

"It must be a slow news day," he said.
