GARTH'S CORNER: 1

Garth, you plagiarized Barry Scanlon's Lowell Sun piece on Eichel. Are you aware that taking others' reporting and passing it off as your own is unethical? Scanlon has every right under the law to ask you to take down the blog in which you misappropriate his work. Your blog is a disgrace.

I'm usually pretty hard on Garth, but not this time. The quotes are the same. How can you plagiarize the players quotes, it's what he said. The substance of his blog was written quite a bit differently....

yeah i had to check as well because i believe he had to take a blog down before for this? but in this instance it's not plagerism

Agreed with the above 2, but the first posting of the blog, under the title "1", heavily plagiarized the Lowell Sun piece, with no quotes. It was only up for a short while apparently. Despite this fix, the blog is a bottom-feeder.

"Earlier this week, Eichel told the Lowell Sun that he wants to be a Buffalo Asante for many years to come."

Wouldn't he have to move to Ghana to accomplish this?

(The Ashanti (also spelled Asante) Empire (1701–1957) was an Akan empire and kingdom in what is now modern-day Ghana.)

Lol. I read this article somewhere else this morning. I don't remember the guys name, but it's basically the same, and word for word.

Staff Writers - for a lot of these websites- are just random people, most of which don't even get paid. They do it either because they love to write, or to get a foot in the door. That being said, I truly, hope, for the HockeyBuzz website, that Garth isn't being paid for his work. I certainly do not wish any I'll will towards the man, but it should be considered grand theft if this is how he makes a living for himself!!

If he wants to be in Buffalo when they start winning he better start looking into freezing himself and waking up next century. Buffalo has a bright future but they are in the same division as the Leafs. Poor Atlantic division teams....

EXcellent bit of trolling, for a novice. I like the Leafs, think they will be very good, but not the best team in the Atlantic, at least not yet.

I don't know why Garth is so excited to get Eichel at 10M per year. As if it is a benchmark of being a "generational" talent. It's nonsense. Draisitl was a second line center, with less ice time and PP time than Eichel. Despite all this he had marginally better numbers than Jack.
That being said, it will take 10m a year x 8 yrs to sigh Jackie. Unwilling to take a hometown discount to win in the Queen City.

57 points in 61 games gets you 10 million per?

No. It doesn't. Eichel getting 8 for 80 buys years of unrestricted free agency and would be based on team's consideration of his potential and importance to the team.

Chiarelli really shafted the rest of the league with the McDavid contract. Set the new bar for which all new contracts will now be based.

This is why so many people hate Maple Leafs fans. That joke of a franchise has won how many playoff series in the past 10 years? And how many times have they even made it past the first round in the past 25 years? I won't mention the Stanley Cup because they probably don't even know what it is, or what it looks like.

I'm not gonna start an argument with a pathetic, insecure Leafs fan. It's just hilarious how most of them think they are the mecca of professional sports; while actually, they have been a complete joke!

Congratulations, you pathetic excuse for a hockey organization, you won a freaking draft lottery! Woo-hoo! That team, unless they make some serious changes, won't ever make it past the 2nd round. The defensive is pathetic, and you have the softest team (hey it fits perfectly for that city) in the league. Too many little whimps and the will get pushed around when the play slows down and gets way more physical in the playoffs. I can't wait to see Mathews and Marner get torchured all season long because they have absolutely nobody to protect them. JVR and Kadri are your answer.... LOL. They take cheap shots, then run away like little girls when someone retaliates. Or, they just target the weakest player on the ice to pretend to be tough...

Oh, and look up the record of Sabres vs Leafs since 2000. You can go back farther, but I doubt you've much older than 12... I'll wait. Oh you did? Yeah. Thought so.

The weird thing is, as poop as the Leafs have been since 04, they still have the same amount of playoff appearances as the Sabres do in the last 25 years. I know that's not the point you were making, it just shocked me when I read it. 12 for each since 92-93. In which of course, both teams accomplished the same thing.

As a Sabres fan I completely support your move of not mentioning the Stanley Cup. Good call there.

So much butt hurtness


I love it

Oh wow! A guy from the armpit of the world calling on one of the worlds biggest cities and the most popular hockey team on the planet. Did you enjoy the playoffs last year? oh wait.. Your re-build is years ahead of us and we surpassed you in one season. Buck up buttercup!

I trolls good but Ibelieve the Leads are the favorite un tbe poope Atlantic division. Tampa and Price are both good teams but the Leafs are better.

Matthews doesnt need protecting, he is huge. He is the protector of realms and men. He just out muscles sissies for pucks all game long. Fact.

Marner doesnt need protecting because he is too quick, agile and smart. Opinion.

They have been horrible alot of those years and I kinda dont blame you for being a little sensitive for some statements but come on Do a little research.

There really aren't any fans which are more rude, arrogant, or obnoxious than Leafs fan. It's such a shame too because I absolutely love Toronto and grew up a huge Jays fan.

Every fan base is 20-25% (frank)ing goofs, including the Sabres and Oilers fans.
