And he was such a success he now writes for the National. I wouldn't want Hamilton on my team, not worth his contract and if he is your teams 1 or 2 he never wins a cup. Intangibles matter.

Poor Jimmy...... I mean it, poor Jimmy. Skin so thin being asked to hold all that BS inside. Like a pressure cooker full of horseshit with a faulty valve. One day streams of hot feces are gonna blow like Vesuvius and we’re gonna be sorry.
lol,Wasn't referring to the players. I mean 'NHL' as the body of executives and coaches, etc. Furrowed brows and scowls as kids like Dougie who are "too quiet" and guys like P.K. are "too loud" don't fit The Culture.
Edit: Just saw Gee Wally's post. I will amend my post to say "...in conclusion, the Bruins should re-acquire Dougie Hamilton and trade for Subban."
Whatever you say dood!
Re-reading that tweet, this from his tweet "my sources! You guyyysss....yoouuuuuuu! You got me!j" all I can say is one phrase comes to mind: "many a truth is said in jest"
Starting to think that his "sources" are his two eyeballs!

What a hack is right!
Hey Jimmy! Have you ever gotten one right?
By the way!! Exclamation points don’t count as a source either!!

Stay-at-home defenseman with zero upside.
He was also an assistant coach for the Marlies and his dad was a guy named Bob Bourne. Maybe you've heard of him. But yeah, let's dismiss his opinion because he didn't reach the NHL. Clearly he doesn't know the game!

Bruin fan since 1975
I sort of think if I had a paying gig that was putting food on the table... id probably be a bit thin skinned if I was being trolled in such a popular online source. a lot of his potential fan base comes through here.
im not sure how young this guy is... how experienced he is.... I guess he did enough mistakes to piss some of you off pretty strongly.
but if hes beating his chest and saying 'I got sources' how is that really anything that a lot of other paid writers aren't doing all the time?
im sure they all have a source or two... hell most of us have a source or two
but if that source only gives you one insider info every 3 years... its hard to do a daily paid column. you have to write every day when you are being paid
honestly... most 'real legit sources' never pan out. I think I can vouch that this st louis rumor is a legit rumor. I seen something that makes me believe theres real talk going on. that said, real talk goes on all the time that doesn't lead to a real trade
people get way too worked up over who has what source... who breaks what news story 2 mins before someone else breaks it...
I want to fantasize one of our insiders here is a 'friend' of mine... so I always pause before I say things that might be interpreted as an insult to him. but id say the same thing about McKenzie/dregor/friedman.
they obviously get some of their rumors correct... they obviously got a lot of sources. but just because they say something doesn't make it so. they are wrong often whether its their fault or not. you cant just take a rumor from anyone... and bank it
we should be grateful to insiders that are interesting and give us fun teases. and if their info pays off that's simply a bonus. the fun is what the real pay off is

I like Murph- we are both Irishman. My mother was born in March 17th and was Patricia OBrien.
My folks sat in loge 7 row 1 seats 7 & 8 at the old Boston Gah-den above corner clock. When Orr scores overtime goal the first hands up are my mothers. It’s from those seats as a yute I started watching the Bruins.
Was I spoiled ? f***ing right but I’d have it no other way.
I’m honored my deal would blow up Twitter
Thursday night at Legends I was at an overflowing table with many of my season ticket friends (Susan and Joe and Jaci many HF regulars know this group) my friend Jay asks me who going to get. I reply the logical player is Schenn - fits a need lengthens the lineup has 2 playoffs in him contract wise and if all goes swimmingly will be 29 in summer 2020 and could be replacement for DK. My daughter not happy at the DK comment but when I’m asked what it would cost I reply - likely Grzelcyk and Heinen and a second tier prospect. No high picks Sweeney can’t deal another first in ‘this’ type of deal and still has lots of inventory. At that point the group starts discussing who should go and my kid says I’m good with this team not trading Grzelcyk & Heinen and bolts up stairs to watch warmups with Ladyfan and her sister Gardenrinkrat
So when that deal apparently blows up Hockey twitter I hear about from my season ticket holder buds who were there or read HF
All good I’m here to help Murph or any others

Cup driven
The guy had the thinnest skin out there, and would get all huffy if you called him out on his BS. Literally a complete POS.
LSCII
Cup driven
I'm a complete idiot and even I have a couple of sources, FFS, and I'm not even a writer in the sport. It's not hard to have sources. What was hard was that Murph would throw shit against the wall here to see what stuck and when people would challenge him, he acted like we didn't have any business ever questioning him or his word. Given his track record of rarely ever being right, I think anyone with half a brain would challenge his reports.
If you can't recall, this was same guy that claimed Phil Kessel had a coke problem when in reality he was dealing with testicular cancer. And it wasn't that he was wrong all the time, it's that he was a condescending prick when you dared question him. You're wrong that much, yet you act that high and mighty? Nah. Which is why he ran away from posting. Still lurks like a motherf***er here though, clearly.
I have no sympathy for that miserable troll.
The guys I feel bad for are the real media guys like Dom, Kirk, Joe Macdonald, Amalie Benjamin and of course Bobby Mac, Friedman, Duthie etc.
Screw Murphy and his miserable troll cult.

Jimmy made his own bed here on Bruins HF Boards. I’ll leave it to others to into details.
He has some other things going against him as well.....
1). Thin skinned or not, if you’re in this business you have to show restraint. Jimmy struggles with that mightily.
2) He positioned himself as a Bruins insider and then went to Montreal market and acted like a fanboy. That’s his prerogative but a true Boston insider should know the risks of that..... particularly now he seems to be back in the Boston “market”.
3). He generalizes and slags off all HF posters and “water coolers” dunces. Not first time he’s taken this approach. He seems to ignore fact that there are people on this board who know a lot more about hockey, and Bruins in particular, than he does.
None of that is very smart if you’re trying to appeal to you “potential fan base”.
