[GardinerTheForward]

This article is by Luke Fox. In particular consider Edmonton’s and Ottawa’s resolutions before voting if the resolutions really were submitted by the franchises.

No, it's actually written in the CBA that each NHL team has to submit one New Year's resolution to Luke Fox at Sportsnet.

If you tell me that it is just Luke Fox from Sportsnet making these up Ill punch you.

 

[Mess]

This one seems particularly directed at the Leafs

8.

New York Islanders
We resolve to offer-sheet one of the league’s premier RFAs.

or this one

10.

Boston Bruins
We resolve to crawl under the skin of the Toronto Maple Leafs and their fans, push them out of the playoffs in the first round, and giggle at the ensuing panic north of the border.

Sice you think it is real you think Edmonton would say this:

“We resolve to build a real team around Connor McDavid before he gets so fed up with losing that he begs out.“

IMO I think this is either fully fabricated or taken out of context - like Luke Fox took real parts and cut out others to make it more juicy.

For what it is worth myself and a friend who is another poster were discussing the legitimacy of the article and I decided to put it to a HF poll.

No it is 100 percent real.

I hope all of the big "three" are offer sheeted. I don't really like any of the them.

Probably some truth to it based on today's headlines, even though the original quotee is done tongue and cheek..

Chiarelli fired as Oilers GM after four seasons

&

McDavid's statement shows frustration with locker room

There have been plenty of changes in Edmonton this season, and so far nothing has worked. Dave Poulin believes that the Oilers have the wrong players and personalities on their roster, while Mike Johnson doesn't believe making more changes this year is worth mortgaging the future.

McDavid: If players don't believe in Oilers' locker room 'they need to leave'

Connor McDavid didn't shy away from the Oilers' latest struggles. He believes that Edmonton needs to renew their commitment to playing defensive hockey, and that everyone in the locker room needs to buy into turning things around. And if they don't? McDavid doesn't feel there's a place for them with the Oilers.

I can't be the only one who thought this was a babe thread by the title.

No it is 100 percent real.

Neither of us have proof.

That's how it feels !!!!

That's how it feels !!!!

They already did it 2 X and both times they left a real bad lingering taste in Leaf Nation on embarrassing & epic game 7 collapses.

If they do it again this year, there will be outrage in Leaf Nation just like that quote suggests will happen that it will seem prophetic in nature.

it won't impact me.
It'll take insane luck for a deep playoff run with this team.
Essentially luck plus Andersen light out.
3%.

Why did you throw quotes around the word "three" ... are they really "two" or really "four" but we call them "three"...?

I thought this thread was going to be about breast augmentations.
