Alfredsson talk II

[playasRus]

Why is it that as the days pass on, more and more it seems like our owner is the ****** and not our players?

Was Heatley leaving maybe Melnyk being a dick? Was Heatley painted as the bad guy the same way Alfie was being said to be selfish? I never understood what made Heatley leave a then powerhouse.

Don't worry EM will do something stupid like not spend money and the next great player will be be gone - aka Karlsson.

 

[playasRus]

This is a classic case of why owners should not have any relations with our players. I can't imagine in any way where they'd have a positive influence on players.

If he was like Cuban, then i wouldn't care, but he's nothing like him.

Nah, Heatley was a world class jerk in his own right. We have to figure things out on a case by case basis.

Yost's latest post: http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=58751. "Abrasive relationships can wear on the involved parties. And if you won't take my word for it, take Bibbi Alfredsson's. One scathing e-mail loaded with an equal balance of inebriation and expletives to her man had her running for Detroit, Michigan"

What e-mail is he referring to? I don't recall anything about this.

I won't comment on the e-mail topic

But that Yost post was as troubling as could be

 

[Hossa18]

It's been Yost pushing it. THat's about it.

Take it for what it's worth

That's not true but nice try.

 

[Kellogs]

Buckle up!!

 

[StefanW]

Buckle up!!

Yup.

Didn't Alfie pick up the puck after Detroits last game in Ottawa? I bet he will retire after this season. With all the injuries in Red Wings it probably wasn't what he thought it would be (or was promised). I still think he would have been a great C for Ottawa this season and i also think he would have given the team the backbone/heart/work ethics to make it to the playoffs.

Guess it all ended up in the worst possible way...

 

[Senscore]

For the last couple years, assuming the worst about Melnyk has been a pretty safe bet.

 

[SilverSeven]

Yost having a hard on for trashing Melnyk is hardly anything new.

He talked about playing another year in Detroit recently.

Sadly, I'd trust Yost's words over Melnyk's any day.

To say that this came from Yost is wrong because it was first brought up by someone on Senschirp and then confirmed by Senschirp himself.

 

[melnyk budget*]

we're still talking about alfredsson?

the guy ruined his name and legacy in ottawa but melnyk not wanting to spend money on alfie or the team made it easy for alfie to leave. end of story.

I agree. I like Yost and am obviously not a big fan of Melnyk, but the length he goes to trash Melnyk is sometimes absurd. Knowing where he got the source for that e-mail thing I wish he would've just left that comment out. It doesn't add anything to the post and just makes me question his credibility.

 

[Alfieghetti]

Wallace agrees with yost I reckon

Huh?

We weren't a powerhouse in 2009 when Heatley asked out.

 

[RadimBicanek]

Melnyk screwed up. Alfie always a legend.

Oh an anonymous blogger. That is so much more credible

I don't think the Sens were a powerhouse when they went to the finals either. They were a one line team with a good defense and above average goaltending. The east was terrible that year, and their one line was the best in the league.

Buffalo was the other 'powerhouse' of the east. To put things into perspective.

The Sens days of being a powerhouse were coming to an end when Havlat was traded for garbage, the 2nd round pick being the centerpiece of the return.

No but as the saying goes, where there is smoke, there is fire.

No but as the saying goes, where there is smoke, there is fire.

I heard that Marc Methot wrote a crude joke on the bathroom wall next to Paul Macleans office that showed a woman that looked remarkably like Paul Maclean engaged in sexual relations with a walrus. The next day, Methot was a healthy scratch.

Look I just created smoke.
