2014-2015 News Around The NHL Thread Part II

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

You can sound excited to play for your new organization without trashing your old one

Anyone see this? While I don't like what was said, it's understandable he's frustrated with the Panthers after learning about being bought out by email. It's not respectful, but actually is the sad truth.

Sorry. I couldn't figure out how to embed the Tweet.

Here you go.



I don't care what he has to say about the Panthers. I'm just uninterested in going through another round of the "South Florida doesn't deserve a team" comments from up north.

At least there is no risk of getting hit by a flying jersey in Florida! Am i right?!

That quote was taken out of context. The line of questioning was about Boyes playing near family, having nobody around was referring to his wife, kids, friends. Start at 3:00. Jonas Siegel is a clown. TSN too. They cut to Babcock then bring it back to Boyes to make it seem like he's saying how great the Toronto market is when it's clearly just a continuation of the conversation before the cutaway.

Here, I'll transcribe the whole quote:

Yeah everybody's thrilled. It's a big deal. I was on the phone a lot yesterday returning messages, so it's real exciting. My family is very happy about it. I don't have to move my kids around, which was nice too. That was one of the most important things to have too, some stability for my family. It's going to be exciting, probably more exciting than when I was in Florida and nobody was around, being in front of family goes a long way, I've traveled around and it's the first time I've been able to do that (play near family), I've been in destinations that are a lot farther away and family hasn't been able to visit or see me certain times of the year.

It's actually so far out of context it's funny. TSN has really gotten bad since they lost NHL rights. That's also on Harv, for retweeting that without trying to find the full quote, which 2 minutes of research would have done. I mean I don't know Boyes at all, but from everything he's said about how much he loved it here, I found it funny he'd say that. 2 seconds of research proves I'm right, and he didn't say anything bad at all. Harv is around the team everyday and doesn't find that quote to be weird coming from him and doesn't look into it at all? We need a better beat reporter.

Kopecky was released from the Blackhawks.

I didn't even know he had gotten a PTO from anyone. But it would make sense that if he got one, it would be from Chicago.

To be fair, I tried to see that video yesterday and couldn't since TSN implemented those stupid geo restrictions a few years back.

Though I doubt Harvey would have looked at that video even without those restrictions.

George Richards and the Miami Herald, have no news in 7 days, during training camp?

Terrible coverage of the team right now, if it wasn't for other passionate fans of the team, you could almost not follow this team.

Wow. Amazing how everyone took the whole quote the wrong way because of it being shoterned. I had a feeling that the media made it look bad on purpose to rip a Sunbelt team. Boyes always seemed like a respectful guy, which is why I was very surprised to read the tweet yesterday.

Anyone want to make the new thread?

I was expecting during the summer that it would be pretty close to the start of the season when this would get close to #1000, might as well change it now since it's not far away.
