Let the good times roll!

this is awesome. Glad it's done now.

this is the gift that keeps on giving.

it's little things like this that i couldn't be a public figure. because Lou said that when he was hired, he said it during the year, Shanahan said it. and something had to have been said for this to come up.

at this point something tart would have been said.

where the hell is he getting this signed?

Look at the decoration behind him. He was clearly drunk when he signed it. Shady tactics by Lou.

After his ELC is done he will be 22 right? Do we sign him to an 8 year deal till he's 30 or give him a bridge and then sign him long term till he's 32+

Looks like Lou's basement

Can't be. Lupul, Robidas and Horton aren't tied to chairs in the background.

 

[Damisoph]

Nice. I feel stupid

 

[Raymondo316]

All that drama for nothing

 

[Semantics]

I'd imagine that B bonus is the calder

It isn't. You can't give a B bonus for the Calder.

LMAO!!!! I seriously laughed out loud reading that.

The "delay" in signing could be something as simply as scheduling. Waiting till all parties can be available for photo ops, documentary footage, etc. Historic day, I'm sure all management wanted to be there.

For sure. Not to mention that elc contracts are pretty much no brainers to agree on.

He should eat the article with his ass

& write an article about it.

 

[Babcocks Marner]

No idea why there are so many "I told you so hahahaha" comments. Does it make people feel better to be smarter than some trolls? You sure showed those 3 trolls!


On topic: Yaaaaaay, glad he is getting what he deserves. Now our media can shut up. When exactly did News become an opinion piece? Seems like that is what makes up 90% of the "News".... opinions, not facts. Especially the papers.

Sucks. Think of all those dissapointed Traktor Chelyabinsk fans ...
KHL in 3 years!

Lol!

Yes but it's far more effective if matthews can just hear the muffled pleas for help from behind a closed door adjoining the room.

It's comical to even think that matthews is going to sign a bridge deal.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Hopefully some keep this in mind the next time the media tries to whip them up into a frenzy over nothing.

you must be new.
Hi. This is Leafs Nation.

that's never going to happen.

It's comical to even think that matthews is going to sign a bridge deal.

Why wouldn't he sign a 2 year bridge contract and risk getting injured and missing out on 80 million?

 

[colchar]

What do all those who were panicking and freaking out have to say now?

I have to be truly honest.
I worship at the alter of I told you so.

and considering that i had to tweet the same blessed thing to

1: Michael Landsberg
2: Matt Cauz
3: Gareth Wheeler
4: Andy Macnmara
5: Jim Tatti
6: Mark Roe

about the same thing over and over
then you add to that a good chunk of people literally freaking out over Mirtle's tweet ..

then to add to that
McGann's article

the i told you so hahaahahahahaha is really needed.
(and honestly mine is more towards the media who really fanned this up).

 

[Jerkini]

What do all those who were panicking and freaking out have to say now?

Was anyone actually panicking or freaking out? I mean, were people actually concerned Matthews would go unsigned into the start of training camp?

Or were they criticizing the fact that the media was allowed to control the narrative when this should have been and probably was the easiest contract Lou will ever give out in his time at Toronto? It should never have gotten this far.

The POkemon bounty worked!

Bridge deal

This is Matthews.... Not Kadri

That would send the creep-out factor to another level yeah.

Nooooooo it was too funny watching people freak out over nothing nooooooooooo
