Confirmed with Link: Kapanen scratched for internal accountability

[JT AM da real deal]

Had Lou remained GM I doubt we have this issue, now we would have other issues but part of this is because we changed GM's and didn't do a good job of getting them on the same page.

True because Babs saw Lou as his boss. Lou has 3 Cups. Babs has 2 Cups.
Babs looked at Shanny and Dubie as his teaching assistants.

Just for accuracy sake, Babs has one cup and 3 final appearances. Not 2.

sorry guy's it's all my fault he asked me to give him a wake up call and I slept in

 

[Menzinger]

Imo theres probably a bit more to the story than whats officially been said. Seemed like the team was sending a pretty strong signal to the guy for just being a bit late to a practice....

Whatever it was, Kap needs to put on a strong on ice performance and just move on

 

[therealkoho]

yes exactly what LeaFland needs

speculation

Good Gawd man, how FAT are your fingers!

 

[HellasLEAF]

Haha, this is funny.

He will learn from this. Should have a good game tonight.

Interesting radio tidbit from Friedman today - seemed to suggest Dubas was a bigger fan of Kapanen than Keefe.

Also suggested the front office sees this suspension as what they did with Kadri (where it obviously worked to get him more focused)

Kapanen handled his interviews terribly. Kapanen comes across as a arrogant and doesn't seem to care. Trade him.

I'm beginning to think that he wants to get traded.

He is not a happy camper.

He's going to get moved I'm thinking.

 

[Its not your fault]

I would say that is just his personality. He is an arrogant dude, or at least that is what people who know him always say. There was a case where he missed the start of the WJC camp and coach Jalonen was furious, Kapanen actually got Dubas to make a call to him and to try to explain why he was late.

 

[Kazparov]

What all young men should be doing.

Just set that bloody alarm clock!

Remember also that the NHL drug testing gets you twice a year, once in preseason and once in the regular season. So if you've had your second test it could basically a free for all after that.

 

[cannucky]

what happened to his wingman/carpool/roomy was Nylander late too ?

 

[ShaneFalco]

if there's any truth to the partying and the same issues when he was with Keefe and the Marlies, it may be time to sell high

 

[Blue Nate]

If the return is appropriate there's no reason not to trade him. I mean, I don't want to see him go, but you gotta give to get. I don't think Johnsson has the value league-wide that Nappy has to land a top 4 RD. And if we're not get an impact d-man there's no point to trading either of them.

Besides he may not be as fast moving forward if he won't be getting the sleep he needs.

Won't be selling high if other GMs are in the know about Kappy. Given Leafs put this out in public, I'd say Leafs have no intention of moving him.

Yes, they were very public about it.

"I'm asking a lot, yes the engine is gone but I want top dollar."

Doesn't sound like a player being shopped.

I don't even like Kapanen and I think trading him would be absurd. A message was sent and hopefully received.

Sorry, I can't afford sites; any chance you could give us your very very brief conclusion or summary, or the basic kind of take-away. I'd be curious to know.

Love these guys to make a mountain out of a molehill. Do you guys realize how many of these kids stay up most of night playing these stupid online war games? I honestly don't get it myself. I was always timing things to get lucky late night. But times have changed man. Play, drink, get lucky then crash. Those were the old days.
