Comedy Platinum out of Toronto - "Canada's Team" quest for the Cup

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Oops. I posted about this in the NHL thread. Is anyone surprised that a team with Lou at the helm would cheat?

Lupul, if serious, needs to make more noise or just plain STFU though.

As I understand it, players have the right under the CBA to seek a second, independent physical. He should do that if this is something that actually bothers him.

Bob Mckenzie was just on TSN radio here and made two very good points:

-If he does challenge it and it's accepted, the Leafs could just send him to the A. So if his options are stay home for another season and collect his full salary or ride the bus with the Marlies, it's a pretty easy choice for me.

-There's an argument to be made that a player can get injured badly, repeatedly in the same area etc. and return from that injury able to play hockey but not nearly at the level he was pre-injury. If it's his body that's limiting his play even if he's cleared for action is that not an injury?

The Leafs are probably not playing above board with him and some of the other injuries over the years (Robidas) but Joffrey's been making noise about this since last season and if he isn't going to do anything about it just shut up.

Leafs should trade Joffrey to the Sabres as I know he enjoys what Buffalo has to offer...

I don't believe that they're using "his" LTIR cap space anyway, right?

At the moment no and if they don't make any big additions they won't at all as Horton's $5.3 mil gets them cap compliant.

Leafs are also a good bet to move some minor pieces or lose a guy or two on waivers.

Also, couldn't Lupul be bought out if he were active? He has a lot to lose by not playing ball.

Was he ever the brightest bulb in the chandelier?

Damn it, I completely missed the low hanging fruit, Joffrey is a former Medicine Hat Tiger so his next destination is quite obvious.

This is probably why he deleted it and backed off. Spending a bunch of money on lawyers in order to win the opportunity to lose even more money seems like an obviously bad decision to me.

Oh I was on that one years ago.

Joffrey Lupul would be the Canucks' leading goalscorer right now. Perfect complementary piece for a good playoff run.

Good trade ammo for former Medicine Hat Tiger Joffrey Lupul.

Keep it up and I'll put Lupul on a fucking plane to Vancouver myself.

To which there were some, uh, reactions.

Ive seen it pointed out that Lupul played for the Medicine Hat Tigers

QUIT IT!

Unless the bulb was edible.

I saw another instagram post of Lupul and it looked like he was a devout follower of the Phil Kessel diet.

was that the pic of him on a boat in Capri? lol

one of the comments: : "how's the pizza lupes ?"

LUPUL NEEDS TO SHUT UP NOW !!!!

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Nonononono guys don't stop paying me! I'll do anything!

 

[BGDave]

At least this non-story will go away quietly now. Unlike the hot dog scandal.

Hahaha WRONG

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Looking like Miro Aaltonen has the upper hand on Dominic Moore for the Leafs' 4C position.

Would also appear, praise to the gods, that Calle Rosen is going to be the 3LD early going with Marincin maybe in the box or banished to the A.

Hahaha WRONG

Unconfirmed reports are suggesting this is the independent doctor the NHL will use:

For the record, if you ask him nicely he will wear latex gloves for the prostate exam.

I asked him to double bag it for mine
