Did fuckFace dedicate the entire show to bashing the Bruins, maybe his ratings were down in the Vancouver area.

Fuck Jon Stewart!! Way to doctor the video to be ALL ANTI Bruins!! I wish he'd ask Shawn Thornton to come on his show HAHAHA... you've been had. It's actually a video edit done by an obvious Canuck fan who probably had lots of time to spend at home while serving his house arrest for burning cop cars! The hockey clips are imposed over top of whatever Stewart was really talking about. At no time does Stewart ever mention the Bruins or even hockey. If that's not enough to convince you, just count the number of wardrobe changes that Stewart would have done if that wasn't a bunch of clips patched together and doctored. It's acutally a damn good job. Pretty funny. I just wish they'd have included a clip of Chara hoisting the Cup!

Didn't know where to put this, but I've had enough of Bertuzzi getting credit for inventing this and need to post nonetheless.

Cold reception on Garden ice? No telling when Tim Thomas will get his first start in the Boston net after the All-Star break. The Bruins are back on the ice Tuesday night with the much-improved Senators in town, just eight days after the 37-year-old Thomas pulled his Pennsylvania Avenue no-show. If some in the Garden crowd remain stewed over how he handled it, it might be in coach Claude Julien’s interest to go with Tuukka Rask Tuesday and again Thursday with the Hurricanes in town. That would leave Thomas well-rested, and perhaps a dozen or so news cycles removed from his hell-no-I-won’t-go stand, to face the Penguins here in Saturday’s matinee. Hottest rumor around the All-Star break had the Ducks dishing Corey Perry to Vancouver for former Boston College goalie Cory Schneider, Mason Raymond, and the vastly overpaid Keith Ballard. Another one had the Bruins dishing Tim Thomas to Chicago. Perhaps that could be the University of Vermont special, with the Bruins sending their ex-Catamount to the Hawks for former Catamount Viktor Stalberg . . . Two team executives I spoke with last week said they would have mandated that Thomas appear at the White House with the Bruins, defining it as a team meeting. One said he would not be surprised to see the Bruins cut him free this summer in the two-week buyout period leading to July 1 free agency . bostonglobe.com/sports/2012/01/29/tommy-williams-life-and-times-all-american-story/Ox7jtQnbYDuf0f5vpObg8N/story.html

^^^ No way they buy TT out. He's worth something and won't have a NMC.

But what if he's satisfied to drop his NMC and we trade him now?? Just for conversation, what would we get back?

The guy just won a Vezina and a Conn Smythe and the best the rumour mongers could come up with is Stalberg, total BS IMO!

Not a fan of Kevin Paul Dupont .. It's kind of a pattern with DuPud. JT pissed him off so he spent the last 10 years, or so slaggin him. And given his reaction to the this situation, I would guess that he's also an avid Obama supporter. Reading his article, it feels like he took it personally that TT didn't go. Kind of goes along with what I was talking about earlier in the White House thread with reporters that do less reporting and more opining these days. I also find it amusing that now all of a sudden TT is being painted as a dressing room cancer and the players have never felt he was a team guy. Here's the deal - beliefs like his aren't the kind you just all of a sudden wake up with one morning. I would say he's been like this for a long time, his teammates knew it and looked past it. Otherwise, how does one explain last year's Cup run? TT did his part, but at no point did I get the sense the team had given up on him, or were no longer behind him. Hell, after the first two games of the Scab series, I pulled the plug on him. Nothing is more annoying than to listen to reporters and their 'inside sources' on locker room dynamics and morale. If I had a dollar for every idiot reporter claiming the inside scoop on something that they claim is a sure thing only to find out the exact opposite is true, I'd be a rich man.

I completely disagreed with Thomas decision not to attend, but the point was to keep politics and hockey separate. So rushing to offload Thomas would be terrible. I would consider trading Thomas because I would consider trading just about anyone except Bergeron, Seguin, Hamilton and Rask. It all depends on the return, and Stalberg is no where near enough to compensate for going into the playoffs without our current goaltending tandem.

Unless all that gushing and back patting that JJ bestowed upon the Timster the other day was just pure bullshit and a smoke screen, you'd think all has been forgiven and things are in the past. If not, despite all the gaudy numbers does he now get the "baggage" label appointed to him making a trade more difficult and with less return? If it does happen I would love for Stalberg to be part of the package. Just turned 26, will make 875K next year then an UFA. Fourteen goals so far this year but 5 have been GWers good for 6th in the league. 6"3, 210 strong on the puck and can fly. If they are to repeat they'll need more scoring. TT won't be able to repeat last year's heroics. You can already see it in his game this year.

Case in point I just ran across this tidbit. I remember the original story and his quote and I didn't get the sense that he was unhappy, or looking to leverage anything. Just that he wasn't worried about it. I really wish other players would do things like this, it'd be easier to make a dick out of some of these 'informed' hockey reporters. Tweets are quick and easy.
Pierre LeBrun also reported Nashville Predators defenseman Ryan Suter wanted to make it clear his comments Friday about not wishing to re-sign a new deal with the Predators in no way means he intends on testing this summer’s UFA market. “I was watching TV this morning and one guy said I was definitely going to test the open market,” Suter told ESPN.com. “I never said that. So I just want people to know that I’m focused on helping our team win and I think that’s the most important thing right now.” Suter also spoke with Predators GM David Poile to clarify his comments, saying that he simply didn’t want contract talks to become a distraction, preferring to focus on helping the team make the playoffs right now. The defenseman also said he hopes he isn’t traded, saying he wants to remain in Nashville.

Maybe the big thing with trading Thomas isnt what they get back but rather what they could do with more salary{Parise etc}
