I have a feeling we will be seeing a leaked email soon from ma-bell directing TSN to be more supportive of the Melnyk camp.
We all know Garrioch is a shill for the team, but now we have Wallace leading a narrative that Karlsson was a dictator in the dressing room and that despite Boucher going on record saying that rest is a weapon, that it was Karlsson fault that the team didn't practice. Anderson wanting out because of drama? Karlssons fault that Hoffmans girlfriend is a psycho.
The cherry on the turd sundae was Dredger saying he would buy a ticket to the Sens game. Felt so forced.
What's funny, is that they could have come up with so many more believable theories.
"Karlsson was selfish and only cared about his stats, so his teammates didn't like him."
"Karlsson was a jerk off the ice, so his teammates didn't like him.
"Karlsson coasted the entire season because he wanted out, so his teammates didn't like him."
All of those would be have at least been believable.
But Karlsson prevented the team from practicing, so the team didn't like him? Really?
And if that's what they're going with, why not just straight up ask Boucher if Karlsson was forcing him to say "rest is a weapon"? Because all that rumor does is make Boucher look like a puppet who shouldn't coach an NHL team.
