Leaf Rumours

What player doesn't have "Attitude" issues when they're on their way out of Boston? It's happening to Marc Savard now.
 
Before the arby hearing, fans started talking about Wheeler having attitude issues...they were warming up just in case Boston walked away from the arby decision.

well savard, unlike a lot of these guys, does have a long history of attitude issues.

though he seems to have learned to control his temper over the past few years.

but it's why he bounced around so much early in his career and ended up on waivers despite being a mid-20s 65 point scorer.
 
Yes, I do believe Savard has attitude problems - not just because the Boston media or fans say so, but Savard has a long history of it.

Which is why I laughed it off when posters suggested we should bring in Savard as a 'mentor' to the young players and for his veteran leadership.

Ignoring the issues that Kessel had in Beantown and Phaneuf had in Calgary won't make them go away.

The may turn over a new "Leaf" in TO, but both players had character issues with their old teams. It's the reason they both are wearing Leafs jersey's.

There's nothing to ignore. Show me some proof the two players have character issues.
 
The 'issue' Kessel had in Boston was contractual ... if his GM didn't choose to spend $4M on Derek Morris and painted himself into the corner, I bet there wouldn't be any 'issue' there.

The 'issue' Phaneuf had in Calgary was the team sucked, and the media hated Phaneuf for the way he handled the media. For sure there's friction between Phaneuf and Regehr, but if you listen to what guys like Iggy, Jokinen told the media, it shows they had no issue getting along with Phaneuf whatsoever.
 
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to notice that Phanuef is pretty boring with the media. Which I think is a front because his teammates sure seem to like him for the most part.

Nothing concrete and all speculation at this point but my Blackberry has been a buzz w/Marc Savard trade chatter today. Talks heating up?

Understood, but the issues in Boston only got mentioned as soon as they wanted to move him.

Does that need to be explained? That Dion was very frosty with the media there seems obvious.

I guess so.

There was no frost between the media and double dion.

I dont really get it.

Sure he was the worst interview in the world...but beyond that I dont get it.

The media loved the guy. They media went insane when double dion was left off team canada.

Craig Conroy did a radio interview not too long ago and talked about how when the media was harsh on Dion, he took it to heart a bit too much and Craig thought that affected the way he talked to the media; he tried to convince Dion that if he was better to them, they'd be better to him.

Thanks for the explanation.

That must be concerning for leaf fans. The Flame media loved him overall...hate to see what happens when the Toronto media says something negative about him.
 
I don't think it's that concerning. Craig said he thought Dion had gotten a bit better with it. Hopefully he just learns to ignore it.

And they already have. It was pretty funny listening to Watters bash him for 25 minutes and then have him on his show and kiss ass.
