WOOOOOOAAAhhh!!!!
wait a minute!! la belle province poutine is not "the real poutine" it actually taste like crap. they put BBQ sauce in it, not the real brown gravy. for that matter, the best poutine i ever had was in Nakina, northern Ontario. a mountain of cheeze curds over very nice crispy fires.

Anglo Poutine has brown gravy, Quebec Poutine has BBQ gravy. LBP is a product of what's been popular in QC since I was a kid, steamed all dressed hot dogs and poutine WITH BBQ GRAVY. Real Poutine also has curds not mozzarella. The mozzarella effect comes into play around Cornwall.....

Hull is the opposite of Hawkesbury. Hull thinks it's part of Ontario and Hawkesbury thinks it's part of Quebec. If there's any trades to be done, I think it needs to be Hull for Hawkesbury + 2nd round pick.

Think Quebec will take Lee in the trade?

Montreal are reportedly holding out for a Beaver Tail.

more to come...

What kind?

The one with "Hazelnut Spread" on it. Ottawa has countered with Cinnamon and Sugar.

more to come...

I've also been told to watch for a dark horse team offering up a funnel cake from Canada's Wonderland. E4

Please demand a trade, Kovalev!

Kovalev on whether Clouston has made him scapegoat for #Sens troubles: "It looks like it." Kovalev hasn't asked for trade. #NJDevils #NHL

OMG.

The worst part is, Kovalev is right.

I think we've set a record for the most times players have called out their own coach over the course of a couple of weeks.

This is not good...

The Alfie did it twice although the Cheerleaders on the pre-game panel didn't want to admit it last night.

This is gonna get worse before it gets better...

If they've tuned Clouston out... not sure what Murray can do... we've been through a million coaches... I can hear Melnky warming up another "blow themselves up" comment.

I sure hope so, the resulting laffs would be a lovely early yuletide gift for me personally.

Ask for a trade? Who the Cuss would even take him?

No one will want him now, but I can see him going to a contender come deadline time for a mid ranged pick. Has the reputation for a solid playoff performer, we wouldn't know though

What if the GM isn't the one responsible for the deals or lack there of. I know Ottawa has been trying and very hard. Two issues I'm told exist, one being that teams are just not interested in trading right now, and the cap has everyone having to have even $$$ trades. That is causing problems for Ottawa and Murray.

I'm also led to believe that for a while now, Murray isn't able to make any FA acquisitions, or trades without passing it past Gene. From what I'm told this isn't something that has been happenening the last month or two, it's been a year and a bit that it's been going on.

If that's true, then maybe the issues with trades and signings are not entirely Murray's fault, but if you have to pass everything by your boss before you do it then you have an owner who is essentially playing GM.

I don't know about you, but if I'm Murray and that is happening I'd want out. I'd want nothing to do with a "Jerry Jones" type owner watching and having to approve everything I do.


Edit...sorry put this in the wrong location..I'll put it in the "Who will be Ottawa's next GM?" thread.

Agreed. I'd probably just let my contract run out. Hmm.
