well the way some guys are talking about franson you'd think he was the second coming of bobby orr

surely thats worth something

Did you just make fun of the guy saying Franson shouldn't get a big contract, and then follow it up with calling Franson worthless?
- Feeling Glucky?

you noticed that too huh?

Komisarek and Liles on Carolinas D

Currently, the Canes have:

Komisarek
Brent
Harrison
Tlusty


In the past, they've had:

Kaberle
Pogge
Ponikarovsky
White

There's more, but I can't think off the top of my head.

The entirity of journalism is based on fabrication?


I'm hesitant to get on board with that

ok, not one brush for all of them....
but the majority of articles on tsn, SN, the score, the toronto sun, toronto star, HB....

they just hide behind the word "rumor" or "anonymous source"

dozzer said he shouldn't get a big contract

and i stand by that

Canes have been looking for help on D well before today's news of Pitkanen being done for year (possibly career). Hainsey? Franson? Mugatu?

Then how does this Johnston guy still have a job?

cause panick sells.

Kessel's interview today... though not really confidence inspiring... said nothing of not wanting to negotiate. Only words were "I don't want to get asked about it every day...but you probably will still ask me every day" or something like that.

Well multiple sources have put this out there.


Why would they just make it up?

In this case there was no rumour and the source was Kessel himself.

not everything you read is true.... not to extend into a war.... but do you believe everything that you read about rob ford?
you believe it's true, because the star, the post, the globe all publish it?

fact is... during that olympic team interview, kessel never said i dont want to negotiate during the season. he said, i want the focus to be on the team. i don't want to talk about this during the season

i didn't use quotes, because that isnt exactly what he said... but it's a heck of a lot closer than what johnston wrote

kinda more pressing matters right now... like Franson and the cap.

Still 3 weeks of preseason. I don't imagine a Kessel deal would take too long if he wants to stay.

there were also no "" when referring to what kessel said.... which if the story was accurate, it would have contained them.

you talking about the "not wanting to negotiate during the season" thing?

Multiple sources are going off of 1 misunderstanding of what was actually said. It's not fiction so much as it is negligence and stupidity.

It's Toronto MSM fodder.... one guy writes the story and then the lemmings follow.

I really don't get Sportnet's angle but their personalities have a serious hate on for the Leafs and stick to anything that's negative.

might be the go leafs go chant at the ball game...

and i wouldnt say that it is limited to SN... apparently mr negativity has a new article today.... next up will be Captain Irrelevant in the toronto sun tomorrow

but he didn't say what they are saying he said.

I can't find the clip, but I remember him saying something like " I don't want to talk about it during the season."

that doesn't mean "not going to negotiate." That means he's telling the media to (frank) off until it's done.

THat was absolutely the way it sounded to me at the time.

Liles to Carolina? Now that Pitkanen is out for the year, looks like a perfect fit.

just as long as the leafs don't eat ANY cap hit.

Yet SN reports that: "The Leafs forward told reporters at the U.S. Olympic Camp Tuesday that he has not discussed a new contract with the team and he does not want to negotiate during the season."

How can/do they get away with that?

interpretation. And they know Kessel is the last guy who's going to take to twitter and correct them

But whatever... certainly not the first time Media takes a simple comment Kessel makes and blows it up into something he never said.
