GDT: Around the League 2019-20 v20

[MoontoScott]

I lived in Montreal when I was a kid in the 70s. Dryden and Lafleur and their dynasty. So, there's always a place for that city after Edmonton. That includes the Alouettes.

There have been a few hockey players who were better than "The Flower" (Gretzky, Lemieux) but nobody was as exciting and charismatic.

I loved Lafleur's politics too--politically incorrect, honest and irreverent. It was in the days before players were coached on what to say in public.

I haven't heard much about him since his major heart surgery last year, hope he's all right.

Wow Rask is opting out. Halaks team now.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Seems to be full of himself. I get that strange vibe . I could be wrong of course. I don't get that vibe with Fuhr, Anderson and to a lesser extent Gretzky. I get that same vibe with Coffey as well. Obviously, it's been years but I look at those two differently now.

I would take Messier over Anderson when it comes to "full of themselves" but yes, some pretty big egos that's for sure. Fuhr, Gretzky and Kurri were more down to earth, that's for sure.

Say, whatever happened to Kevin Lowe? He seems to have gone underground in the Oiler organization.

Good for him, family comes first. If they make it in a few rounds you could be in that bubble for a long time.

Rask suddenly opting out is what I was hoping Toews was going to do in our play-in series, because of early rumours
But yeah, besides the family aspect Rask also said the games feel like exhibition games. Not the right mind for a goalie to in at all

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Sounds like a few more may join him.

 

[Faelko]

I thought there was an opt out deadline?

Any truth to a little family squabble in the Calgary in the family bubble? or is that just Lucic haters causing trouble

I haven’t heard anything, where are you hearing rumours?

Millbury crapping on Rask.

Shocking.

Millbury crapping on Rask.

Shocking.

Millbury once accused Lafleur of being "out to get him." When they asked Lafleur about it he said he wasn't sure which Bruin was Millbury.

He (Millbury) has always been unhinged.

Couple of fringe twitter guys who run gossip/rumour sites. just curious to see if there was any validity to what was posted
