Thread: Be gone chevy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jetman</b></div><div>For sure. Thats why I think its best for Coach Q and Chevy to have the mtg with Bettman and he can clear them if he thinks that they had no part in it.

Literally the only thing he could have done was followed up with the cops to see if his boss did anything....and like anyone would do that if they are under the assumption that it was taken care of</div></div>

I feel like people take issue with the fact that no one did anything. Apparently McDonough said he’d handle the situation, but no one took initiative to follow up. Feel like that’s what people have issues with and want to have people held accountable for. But like you said, anyone in that scenario likely isn’t following up when you’re boss has said they’re handling the situation.

Thread: Be gone chevy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jetman</b></div><div>He didnt say chevy's employment, he said his, meaning aldrich, which would have been 2 months before...

everyone needs to re read the Jets statement from July that they posted on behalf of Chevy. Its very enlightening on why nothing happened on Chevy's side.

The media, like usual, is twisting those comments</div></div>

From what I’ve read in the report, the meeting took place May 23rd, 2010. Aldrich’s employment ended in June of 2010. So wouldn’t that mean that Chevy lied? I’m not really following media, I’m trying to read the report and what Chevy said.

I’m not accusing, I don’t want chevy to be caught in this, but from what I’ve read it seems like he said he didn’t know about any allegations until after the end of Aldrich’s employment, yet he was in a meeting before the end of his employment in which they spoke about some of the allegations against Aldrich.

Thread: If this keeps up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Doctors dont agree it will likely end his career, what are you talking about</div></div>

A fusion severely limits mobility and commits Eichel to many surgeries ahead of him. It would definitely affect his playing career, might not end it but he’d never be the same player. Talk to anyone who’s had a fusion and they’ll tell you how much it limits mobility.

I don’t get why they’re so hung up on the ADR. Eichel has multiple doctors and surgeons on his side saying it’s safe and effective. The Sabres are the laughing stock of the league right now. It’s absurd how they’re treating Eichel. Have fun getting players to come to Buffalo after this. They could’ve effectively ruined the entire franchise with how they’ve handled this.

Eichel should just be going and getting the surgery. Screw the contract and the team, go get the right surgery.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>The thing is, it doesn't really help either team.

From the leafs perspective, you are trading a guy who sucks in the playoffs for a guy... who's never even played in the playoffs. No thanks.

But in term of likelyhood, I agree it's slowly getting more likely as both teams are probably getting very desperate and need to make a splash.</div></div>

There’s going to be a point where the process is sped up quite a bit, and I think that’ll be when Eichel files a grievance.

I know this move doesn’t necessarily help either team but it’s a solution to a problem. Like you mentioned in another comment on here, Eichel has lost a ton of value being out as long as he’s been, still needing surgery and all the question marks around his recovery. Buffalo has seriously shot themselves in the foot with this situation. They’re going to have to settle for a bit less than they’re expecting. Which is why getting a player of marners caliber would be great.

Thread: Putting things into perspective and making changes without selling the farm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sensonfire</b></div><div>If the Leafs lost to the same team after spending about a week at home without playing a back-to-back (which Pittsburgh did), then I would be having a completely different conversation.


People really underestimate how much of an advantage or disadvantage that the schedules of two different teams can bring to a single game.


By the way, most of what professional athletes say to the media after every loss is scripted and coached by someone.</div></div>

You can’t justify a 7-1 loss to a wounded penguins team. I get travel plays a factor. I’ve seen it a lot with the jets, but if the Jets were that scenario i couldn’t justify the loss anyway I looked at it. It’s a joke that they lost the way they did. It’s embarrassing and should spark some change. I watched Steve dangles video on the game and he said one thing that really stuck with me. If there’s one thing we’ve learnt from the Amazon series, it’s that there is a clear issue with the leafs, the players know it and the coaches know it. But they can’t fix it.

If you get to that point, change has to happen. Whether that’s coach, GM, players, whatever, change has to happen. Like Albert says, the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. This is the exact thing the leafs have done for what? 3 years? It’s nuts.
