lol - I guess in some ways you have to give Eklund credit, he's managed to hang around a lot longer than I thought he would.

What do you mean? He's great!! When I hear a rumour now that doesn't include an e-scale rating (e1-5) I don't even bother. He's revolutionized the hockey media landscape with this kind of innovation. That is plain for all to se3.

Maybe he's an uppity loner like Dougie?!?

that would be good. I like Pastrnak, but don't like the Bruins
But if he goes to the Kings, it would be same diff...

Are those Maple Leaf brand hot dogs?

Steve Simmons was on TSN earlier today addressing Phil's day with the Cup and the hot dog photo:

Steve Simmons addresses Kessel's Instagram post

I didn't listen to the whole segment, but Steve said the following (not verbatim):

"This is Phil's day with the Cup, he should enjoy it, why take the time to address something so small that happened a couple of years ago?"

Oh Steve, you wrote a piece blasting Kessel that contained bogus info, man up and give Phil credit for a funny jab back.

New addition to Legends Row...

Anytime anyone can get 1 up on Steve Simmons I'll applaud. I'm someone who respects many a journalist but Steve Simmons is horrible.

What is that surface, and can I fill my basement with it?

Will Butcher and Alex Kerfoot are free agents. Devils meeting with Butcher, would be a nice pickup.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

got the impression they were out on him ... or he was out on them ... i guess not so much lol

Just so long as he doesn't go to the Rangers.

Butcher would be good on the Devils IMO. He probably improves their defense.

This applies to every player except Shane Doan.

Well shit, hope the young guys are ready to go.
