Speculation: Melnyk and Murray spotted at NHL head office.

[Qward]

Interesting, on day of Torts hearing in NYC, OTT owner Eugene Melnyk, GM Bryan Murray, NHLPA exec director Don Fehr seen going into NHL HQ.

It's believed they're there as part of Melnyk's forensic investigation into Matt Cooke's skate cut on Erik Karlsson last season.

Melnyk maintained at time of incident that Cooke did it intentionally and vowed to prove it. NHL exonerated Cooke at that time.

This is a touchy subject. Follow the rules.
Anyone that breaks the rules will be removed from this thread and can/will receive an infraction.

Interesting thing to post on the same day that Daryl Katz wrote that "open letter to Oilers fans".

 

[Benjamin]

Good.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

CSI Ottawa ftw!

Would be hilarious if Cooke got suspended, playing for the Wild, well over a year later.
Or if the Penguins had to pay money = to time lost by Erik.

 

[Magix]

O my god. Melnyk is crazy...

 

[BrawlFan]

Its probobally Obama birth certificate related.

 

[Legend Killer]

Lets hope some HBO cameras are rolling... this has good potential.

I'm hoping the NHL launches their own investigation towards Melnyk's mental health and concludes he is unfit to own the team any longer. Only positive scenario that can come out of this.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

sigh

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Melnyk, please show that you care about this fanbase and stop.

 

[John Holmes*]

Lel.

 

[Slow Hands]

Come on, how awesome would it be if Melnyk actually somehow found proof that Cooke did it intentionally? Nothing would come of it but it'd be hilarious

[Fandlauer]

I thought Melnyk was just spouting off because he was mad that his star was injured, which I completely understood. We all say dumb things when we're angry.

Now I'm finding out there is a real CSI investigation into this?

It would be damn funny if he could prove it, you're right.

 

[Qward]

Could you imagine if he proved it?

This place would explode.

 

[Slow Hands]

Also, as was pointed out on Twitter I'd much rather the team gets mocked because of this investigation than Melnyk and Murray going there to explain the team can't meet payroll or something equally as awful.

 

[Super Cake]

And now there is a thread about it on the main boards.

Our owner needs to grow up. He is embarrassing us too be honest.

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

Man...I hope he can prove it. Otherwise, the main boards are going to have a field day with this.

 

[John Holmes*]

I feel embarassed for Murray here.

 

[Whippet]

Could you imagine if he proved it?

This place would explode.

Don't think he would go there in the first place if he didn't have significant evidence that he thinks will work.

But still. He is needs to seriously get his mental health checked up.

Maybe Murray/Melnyk went to tell Bettman that they want to win the cup before Murray retires but they require the league to give them money under the table in order to spend to the cap the next few years. Lord knows that would be less embarassing than a CSI report.
