He actually said the name of his restaurant lol. As for the son thing he called people idiots for guessing the names wrong until someone finally got it right and he said something like "at least someone here isn't an idiot"

And that non-idiot was me! HA HA HA

Actually, no. He wasn't telling the truth. You don't act the way he did from someone mentioning the mother of a junior hockey player's name. He was obviously backed into a corner and started to act defensively. All the "information" about himself that he said was easily accessible by anyone. He went from being a hired scout for the Red Wings to a Restaurant owner.

No...I first asked you if we knew each other. And then didn't want to talk about my personal life because the agents I am around wouldn't appreciate me leaking trades....if they found out I was leaking that sort of thing....I wouldn't be privy to that sort of stuff anymore.....don't you think?

And I WAS a scout, I no longer have that title.

If he was 100% telling the truth why would he give two poops if people believed him? Why would he give out so much personal information? If he was just trying to give people some rumours and nothing more than non of that would be necessary.

No, instead he's just trying to make himself feel important. If he actually had big time NHL connections I don't think he'd need to come on hockeybuzz to feel important. That's kind of a big deal on its own.

The only info I gave initially as my son was drafted by du as and his agent was pat Morris. I've been and still am employed by the red wings organization. I sold my 5 restaurants and "retired" from work and work for leisure for the red wings.

The end.

There's no connection to the junior player's dad and the Red Wings, or else in the article it would've mentioned "his dad, a former employee of the Red Wings..."


If you make a claim, like he was, you have to provide the evidence. His evidence is easily accessible information that we all of access to, with a single goole search. So until he either stops acting like he's an "insider with sources" and actually provides irrefutable evidence of who he is, it's safe to assume he's lying.

I've been "employed" by the redwing organization. I carry a "title" but Am considered a freelance employee, meaning I do not carry liability nor am I entitled to pension, benefits etc. I am a retired Canadian, doing this for the love of the game....spending thousands of hours in arenas between both my boys playing high levels of hockey.

well, partially...

they (lums and the poophawk) also doubted many other things about him which turned out to be true like him owning a restaurant. they tried proving him wrong but they themselves were wrong.. You never proved he doesn't work for the Wings.. Then gullsie gets a PM from Mario asking him not to bring up personal things, what does the gull do? he posts the PM on here for everyone to see

In fairness Gull, he never once said he was a scout. That was all assumption. He said he traveled with and/or worked part time for an NHL team for 12 years after he sold his restaurant.
- Phenom



Well he never said anything about a restaurant until the name came up and was linked to the resultant.

Today:



Yesterday he said his boss was Jiri Fischer, who's the Director of Player Development. What was he then, the coffee boy?

- Steven_Seagull



But he's telling the truth, he never lied.

maybe he was?

you still haven't proven him wrong.

- Arctic_AARDVARK



He said he was a scout from 04-06. But never listed on their list of scouts anywhere.

He said he worked as player liason reporting to fisher, still no listing.

Yet here you are leaking info, and exposing who you claim to be.... Makes total sense.

I suppose the lesson here is that it's best to not give out any info if you don't want people to know who you are. Assuming you are who you say you are you've got it better than the vast majority of people on here and that's not including hockey connections. If that aspect of your story is true then it's even better for you. You don't need a bunch of goofs to believe you, you've got a great life.

Think about this from our perspective. We're all just a bunch of fans that like talking hockey. Lots of people come in here and give fake rumours to be funny. That's almost a daily occurrence at times. There's plenty of reasons for us to be skeptical. You step in and give some rumours that quite honestly sound very unlikely (Lupul one). Why wouldn't we question it? At that point you should've just let your rumour do the talking. If Lupul gets dumped with assets we won't need to know who you are, we'd know you're legitimate.

That's my take on it.
