Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

No less of a reason for the usual Boston smear job when peeps leave town. Amazing how when any player goes he was a problem this and that.

I guess that some just don't understand that tabloid papers like the Sun & NY Post thrive on sarcasm/satire/humor.

Anyway, Evgeni Nabokov is staying with the Islanders - 1 year, $3.25M

I get that, but what does this have to do with Toronto? Boston traded him to free up cap space (the off-ice rumors are just that) so it's hardly a reason for Toronto to celebrate.

I'm talking about payback for two years of "Thank You Kessel" from the fans and media in Boston.

Alfie looks like he's heading to Motown

Meanwhile, Grabovski teed off on Randy Carlyle after being bought out by the Maple Leafs.

"I play in the [expletive] Russian KHL, I make lots of [expletive] points and what's going to happen? He make me [expletive] play on the fourth line and he put me in the playoffs on the fourth line and third line again," Grabovski spewed. "Yeah, I don't score goals. I need to work more about that. I know that. But if you feel support from your coach [you'll find success]. I don't feel any support from this [expletive] idiot."

Payback for what? The Bruins gave him an overly generous contract too soon and now Dallas gets to pay it.

Payback can be a beyotch, can't it?

More class from Toronto



Try as they might, they'll never be as classless as Montreal. They just look desperate trying to compete.

Seguin is apparently the second coming of Kane (OK at least he hasn't punched out a cabbie -- yet) and Dougie hasn't been able to crack the lineup (although that is likely to change next season).

Except it was actually an extension for Claude Giroux, not Briere. Details.

Make the world a better place, punch a Flyers fan in the face.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

Yahoo Sports just tweeted this: AP source: Flyers, Daniel Briere agree to 8-year deal worth in excess of $64M. yhoo.it/1253YcX

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

Are the usual Boston exit smear stories coming up on Tyler Seguin? You know, partied too much, lazy work ethic, slept during defense meetings.

2nd pick in the draft. Only 21. #GaveUpEarly

I don't know if Boston does these smear stories but I did see this.

http://www.csnne.com/blog/bruins-tal...y-traded-stars

According to sources around the team, Seguin was out late in Toronto during the road trip to play the Leafs in the first round of the playoffs and the team had to hold a sit-down with the immature forward about his commitment to the team. Seguin showed up each day at the Air Canada Centre wearing the same clothes for three straight days and played badly in Games 3 and 4 of the first round against Toronto.

That incident coupled with stories of Seguin’s late night partying during the regular season prompted Peter Chiarelli to say that “[Seguin] needs to become more of a professional” during a tirade at draft weekend. The Bruins attempted to deal Seguin to the Calgary Flames last weekend, but ultimately Flames ownership squashed any deals for the six-year, $5.75 million contract for Seguin while they go through a full rebuild with inexpensive, youthful players.

All of these questions about Seguin’s off-the-ice attitude and Boston’s tight cap situation prompted them to keep pursuing deals for the talented youngster, and there’s little doubt that Special Assistant to the GM Mark Recchi had prominent involvement in getting his former B’s teammate to Dallas.

Just met Andrew Ference. Nice guy!

Cool. I wish the Blackhawks would sign him.

From Ottawa beat writer: Daniel Alfredsson had telephone discussions with Detroit's Ken Holland and Boston's Peter Chiarelli today. Those were the only two teams.
