Dumb Hoax: Former Sens insider says Spezza is gone!

That people get worked up over horrible sources?

Unless I hear anything from Murray or Bobby Mac from now on I'm calling Dung. Made for interesting discussion though!

I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or maim.

At any rate, good-night.

Exactly lol

Pfft, whatever. From what I've seen he's an excellent defender - and he can move the puck with aplomb if you don't mind me saying.

Actually, I do. You started saying that, what, a month or two ago? Somehow doesn't suit either yo or this site or something. Or maybe it's the repetition (you've said it quite a few times). It's like you got a "word-a-day" calendar and got stuck on that page.


Sorry, I'm late to this discussion, as usual. Any serious outfits running this?

Is this official yet?

Do we really want to put Ballard on the same team as Leclaire, who has been the victim of some unlucky injuries. Ballard kills him inside of a week!

That's definitely heart-breaking.

I would also consider filing that one under too good to be true.

i'm relieved. there was some good options thrown out there but i wasn't over the top happy with what edmonton offered last year, i was affraid it would be the same...

I gave you a plus for that smilie because that has to be the shortest post I have ever seen from you.

I think it's officially an unsubstantiated rumour.

I mean, really, when not even Boo-boo takes this and runs with it (not saying he won't, he may be double-checking with his sources right now) it makes you wonder. All I had read is that Spezza said he had no choice if they wanted to trade him (obviously *not* something he should be saying if he's not even thinking about it), but that he would be *happy* to be back (and the hack writing it said he didn't smile when saying the word "happy" -- gosh, another "expert"). Spezza also didn't seem pleased that Murray mentioned their year-end interview, saying that it was between him and Murray (although I'm not sure this means "I wish Murray hadn't spoken about it" or "Yes we spoke, but what we spoke about is between the two of us").

So, it's a rumour. We *may* find out it's true, but even if he's still a Sen on opening night we may bever find out it was false. Does that make sense?

In other news, Chris Neil apparently owes $2.4M to his creditors. Or at least that's how another hack wrote it. Truth is, it's the Neil Brothers construction company that owes, and Chris is one of the four brothers -- although with his full-time job I doubt he had much to contribute to this company other than some start up capital. Yet, because hs is the one with the deep pockets, the creditor go after him.

That was just a blatantly misleading title. I'm glad I read it to actually learn the truth, but I wonder how many simply read the title and start making up their mind about Neil with no facts to back up opinion?

For the record, here it is:
Senators' Neil owes $2.4M - by Chip Martin (a hack).

For the record, this is the e-mail I just sent to "Chip Martin":

That was an entirely irresponsible piece of journalism. If I was an editor I would never allow that article title to see the light of day. So, three brothers want to start their own constructions company and ask their deep-pocketed brother to help out with capital, and he is now the one who "owes" the creditors? Did you even go check if this was a limited partnership, an incorporation or what? Did you ask Chris, himself, to tell his side of the story or were you too chicken-**** that you'd get a well-deserved knuckle sandwich?

WTF is a Chip Martin?

It's Jacque Martin doing the Messier Chip commercial I think.
