serge 904 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 He doesn't look himself. He doesn't seem happy. They had some isolated shots of him and he seemed to even not forecheck aggressively. As we know I'm not a Crosby fan but I hope he isn't hurt or having concussion issues. As much as I don't like him, a healthy dominating Sid is great for the game. On paper Sid, Geno, 81 and Letang should be one of the top PP s in history. But they look weird. Is it a coaching systems thing? Can't complain they won 4-0 but it's weird.

gruven 530 Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 I've never seen a movie with a lower IMDb rating than Glitter. Im very proud of appearing in possibly the worst major motion picture ever made. It was in theatres exactly one day. It's awful. I have a copy. Also, for Phil's new house, I got him as a housewarming present, framed movie posters for the movie theatre in the basement. His fave movies: Godfather, Braveheart, Wedding Crashers, Rounders, and.... a Glitter poster. Autographed by me. LOL. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

FCP Bob 1,312 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 https://twitter.com/...647179443310593 They should have risked people booing and at least put some sort of message up. Vancouver did a video tribute for Ryan Kesler when he came back and he was the one who forced the trade while Phil wanted to stay. It's funny how fans have such short term memories. Phil did exactly what any rational person could expect him to do his entire time in Toronto other than the last half of last year when the entire organization was a clown show and nobody can really be blamed for not being at their best.

Found out yesterday that the leaf game day production staff had a video prepared. Shanahan himself nixed the video, and forbid the in house big screen tv crews from showing any closeups of Phil. Or any stats that referred to him. This is getting pretty petty. Link to post Share on other sites

This is getting pretty petty. if this is true, makes me wonder what Phil did last year to deserve this kind of action from Shanahan. Maybe there's more to the story. Or are we supposed to think Shanahan is just doing this because hes irrational and petty? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe there's more to the story. Or are we supposed to think Shanahan is just doing this because hes irrational and petty? There has been no bad interaction between the two. Shanahan made his own mind up on Phil. Not saying he's not entitled to do that, but that's all there is to it. It's pretty clear he simply doesn't like him. The rest of his management group wanted to keep Phil, Shanahan vetoed it and traded him. Again, that's his prerogative, and there should be nothing more to it. But it seems like there is. Even Horacek said in an interview after the trade that he had no issues with Phil, it just took him a little time to figure out how to talk to him. Which was to do it privately rather than as a group. Again, it's pretty obvious that SHanahan thought Phil was the problem. Fair enough. I don't understand why he would make it personal, and be petty about it. Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 One funny thing I heard last night from a Penguin (not the ones I know!). A veteran. He said that The leafs may be the worse team he's ever seen in his entire career in the NHL. And that he felt sorry for the players. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't understand why he would make it personal, and be petty about it. With all due respect Chris, that sounds like one side of an issue. I have no information from either side, or dont care about either side, but it seems a little far fetched to assume someone as respected as Shanahan just arbitrarily decides to make things petty and personal for the whole world to know, without having some reason behind it. People dont usually get to a place of power by being irrational and emotional with their decisions on their coworkers/employees. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

What I'm telling you, and you can believe it or not, is that the two of them spoke about 3 times in the entire tenure. No issues, no harsh words. Link to post Share on other sites

No issues, no harsh words. I always believe you. But isnt it possible it was some other actions of PK's that Shanny does not like? Just because their conversations were civil, doesnt mean other actions of Phils, maybe towards the staff or the fans or teammates, rubbed Shanny the wrong way? Or maybe he heard something from the staff he didnt like? Hey, I'm just grasping at possibilities, because something doesnt add up for me. I think even you said you didnt understand why Shanahan would act this way. Link to post Share on other sites

digitalmonkey 929 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Perhaps Shanahan thinks Kessel quit on the team. Something tells me he doesn't have much time for quitters. Pure speculation... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I can confirm that Kessel, Hornqvist, Scuderi and Kunitz took an Uber ride back to the team hotel after practice today. They did not sign for the autograph hounds. Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Fleury did sign and got on the team bus. Link to post Share on other sites
