JR's trying to blame management, another moron who very well knows that this story broke late March, after the trade deadline. He doesn't know, and none of us do, when Dorion would have been made aware. He is either intellectually dishonest, or obtuse. Or a moron. Johnson wouldn't bite because he is smarter than JR.

So then who are you blaming??

This post makes no sense.

Jebus....phenomenally bad take by Warne. I guess he's on the run Karlsson out of town train. As if this day hasn't been enough of an embarrassment.

My theory is that the media is just sad that this soap opera is ending. What he's really trying to say is, "I would love to get some more inside gossip about the drama between the Sens wives and girlfriends so that we can keep talking about it on the radio." What it came across as, of course, was victim blaming. I actually don't mind Steve, but this was definitely a terrible take on his part...

Now that the Hoffman side has been sorted out, the Sens need to closely examine the other side to see if they bear any responsibility for this ugliness. No excusing it, but these things are rarely random. Fire generally requires a spark. There's usually an antecedent event.

If you can pull up the cached Google version, the responses are a treat. The URL doesn't post here correctly though.

Did anyone hear these two things from Garrioch's interview on TGOR?

1) There were deals on the table and teams interested in Bobby Ryan on his own at the deadline
2) There was also a deal in place for Zach Smith.

WTF??!!?? Why the heck wouldn't Dorion pull the trigger on any of these especially with a team that wants to shed salary at all costs.

They probably involved us taking bad contracts back.

May also do with the fact that our front office consists of 2 men barely qualified for their jobs and half of management was too busy trying to trade our generational defenceman. I feel like lots of phone calls and emails went unanswered around the trade deadline.

Take everything he says with a grain of salt. The dude 24 hours right before Hoffman traded for scraps posting a similar article as today's saying the return might be a 1st rounder + a good prospect. His articles and his career are essentially fluff pieces for the organization to drum up interest in their unwanted players. This organization has done negotiations through the media since Bryan Murray was hired, whether to drum up trade interest or signing a player.

Warnes obsession with Tkachuk is extreme. Almost as extreme as his hatred for the Leafs.

 

[RICKY SPANISH]

Ah yes..

1. State of the franchise in general dismay
2. Rumours swirl surrounding the franchise player and owner
3. NHL Draft is this evening, Top 5 pick
4. Free agency is a week away
etc., etc...


Lets cut to the World Cup pregame show!

Yea what horseshit coverage.

TSN 690 talked straight hockey.

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Yea what horse**** coverage.

I look at it this way. With Mendes only on later tonight, I can only take so much of the shallow daytime coverage of the state of the franchise. I actually welcome something different for a few hours.

Plus, they promised to cut to straight local programming if a trade happened.

Sure but what about for people not tuning in from the get go? You turn on the radio on trade day expecting to hear trade talk and you get coverage for soccer.

Well perhaps the notion that the team wants to shed salary "at all costs" is not a hard cold fact.
