Yep.

Dougie's made some jokes about it, saying it's not true and he doesn't really like museums, but also said he knows the truth behind what happened and he knows that Canadian reporters have a job to do.

Reading between the lines, I think what he's implying is that Shannon was fed something from the organization because the Flames needed to do the "he's got character issues" thing in case Hamilton lit it up or Hanifin/Lindholm didn't pan out the way they have.

- BINGO!

What's the return you would be satisfied with for Hamilton, and another for Pesce?

Leaf system, obviously.

I remember hearing it live as I was driving and thought it was such an odd comment. If you listen to Shannon, he really sounds like an old man suffering from dementia.

Looks like they are after Carolina's D. Friedman thinks it's pesce, not Hamilton though.

Kadri would be their 1st line centre!

ah yes... the misdirection trick
but Pesce is fine if Doogie is too much

and Paryenko is too much

Gudas as another target

have to bump Hainsey/Z/Oz down and or out on the right side

Ok slow down. Kadri had a great night, but hes no 1st line center on any good team.
The leafs beat up on shaky goaltending and a team in a rut.
Now they need be consistent and build off of this, the past 20 games theyve up then, down, down, up, down, down.
Theyre not as good as their best game and not as bad as their worse.

- Fakepartofme


you're just as bad as everyone else:

Leafs lose to FLA: "contenders? More like pretenders..."
Leafs beat WAS: "they got lucky, off-night, Holtby's been bad..."

None of those goals were soft on Holtby last night; they fired 43 shots on net against us, so it wasn't like they weren't trying, but whatever fits the narrative of the Leafs Aren't Good Enough ™.

I like how the Leafs are under the radar as a contender now. Good place to be.
Tons of pressure on Tampa. They have to win the cup this year.

Assuming Price keeps playing at this level. It would be a better series to watch then going against Boston again.

(Cause UG will be re-instated just in time for the Leafs-Bruins series)

It's because Dougies a big, awkward, kind of formal dweeb.

He doesn't fit the mold of your typical hockey player because he seems to be more of a quiet introverted guy. If you have a bunch of brash, outgoing guys on the team he's probably not going to fit in with the club.

- BINGO!


The Leafs have a bunch of those type of guys. So I guess that's why people are reporting that the Leafs have less interest in Hamilton and more in other guys.
BINGO!

I'd hate to lose him. He's very good. Certainly our best RHD defensively.

Fenton went full Chiarelli with his first player for player NHL trade.


Now, if you want to dunk on a Canes trade, go after the Jeff Skinner one. (He's slowed down now, but that return still stinks even if he wouldn't accept a trade anywhere else)

- BINGO!

You mean, he wanted to go to buffalo?

Ugh

Was kind of hoping to target them with a Faulk trade.

Faulk and Ferland for J.T. Miller and picks.

Clears some cap space for Tampa when they need it and gives them a big RD upgrade over Dan Girardi heading into the playoffs, and the Canes pick up another capable forward signed long term.
