Bob Murray resigns, entering alcohol abuse program.

Very much doubt this is strictly an alcohol issue here, but i guess there is no such thing as a human garbage reformation center.

Guess that fits with the tweets saying he would send a shitload of abusive texts to staff members.

I suspect alcohol is being used as an excuse here. Im sure he's just as big of a piece of shit whilst sober.

Being drunk doesn't change you, it frees you.

Prob a great business idea these days.

Lou strikes again.

I didn't even know you could terminate a contract with no cap penalty.

Yeah, pretty sure the rule is it has to be a mutual termination, and the player forfeits the rest of his salary.

You don’t see it often with bad contracts, since the player almost always wants to get paid. But this is the last year of Leo’s deal, and either the KHL is making him whole for the rest of the money he’s owed, or he’s willing to give up a bit of money to trade Bridgeport for St. Petersburg.

 

[MindzEye]

Fuck, how bad is Bridgeport?

Success rate akin to Trump University

BuT DeFensE!!!!

...for now.

 

[zeke]

Leafs haven't played anywhere near their best defensively and they're still like....8th best in goals against per game? and that's with the overall goaltending being medioc.re

Harvard grad. Apparently he's close with the owners too.

You don’t really have anything to dunk on here, considering your argument was that Fred has been #ackshuallygood the past couple of years, and that he’d turn it around in Carolina because their good defense is better than Toronto’s shitty defense.

Those numbers directly contradict that argument.

Almost identical to their GA in the North last year.

Right. Freddy is far better than I even expected.

 

[hockeylover]

This convo will make the Fred muffins in a critical game that much sweeter.

It's funny to me that the desire to make so many sweeping hot-takes less than 10 games into the season more than maybe I've ever seen before, despite everyone knowing better, is so obviously connected to so many perfect anti-Leafs narratives being seen in those tiny samples.
