so do you post on LC?
just because i've been saying for years that Dreger is 99% full of horsepuckey, when a whole bunch of people took his word as gospel doesn't make me fake news, most of those same people now know that Dreger is 99% full of horsepuckey and the rest are still clinging to hope that both he and they were right all along!
So no, I wouldn't say fake news I would say I held an opinion that as it turned out has more truth in it then the magical rumours of one Daren Dreger. Years ago I posted a magical rumour of an upcoming trade, a trade that actually made sense(a trade that was never done but the player in question did eventually get traded out of Toronto.) It appeared as a Dreger rumour about 6 weeks later, same structure down to the picks involved. Dreger as a reporter is run of the mill. Dreger as media personality is bigger then life in his own barnyard.
i was not being dismissive, and have no idea where you got that idea from
his was an opinion, the same opinion that most of us have, simply put, he clearly stated "player doesn't play well player gets sent down," well no kidding eh!
even after the last few games where Sparks is playing at the level the Leafs want him to, the very same idea holds true that if he stumbles "player doesn't play well, player gets sent down," not hard to figure out my friend.
