  1. Sucks Crawford is in this position because of Avery, one of the biggest pests to ever play the game, the same guy who was arrested for shoving a police officer..... The same guy who's been accused of calling black people monkeys on the ice to get under a players skin...... I'm sure coaching Avery was one of the most frustrating things to do as a coach, probably every coach's worse nightmare actually. And I'm sure because of the way Avery played and frustrated every coach by not playing the way they wanted made coaches want to kick him . Obviously Crawford is in the wrong you can't be kicking players, I'm sure a coach patting a player on the back was just as painful for Avery though...... Avery you were only good for one thing and one thing ever, pulling that move on Brodeur the rest of your career is a joke.
  2. Yeah, his title as saying it's REAL news is misleading hence why I posted this information.
  3. And for anyone who's interested in who /what The Duran is here you go. History Founded in 2016, The Duran is a strongly right leaning news and opinion website with ties to Russian state media. Based in Cyprus, the editor of the website is Alexander Mercouris, who in 2012 was disbarred as an attorney in London. According to the Telegraph, he then went on to become a “pro-Russian commentator on world affairs for Russian TV news outlets and websites.” The Duran’s director is Peter Lavelle, who is host of RT’s (Russian state news outlet) political debate program CrossTalk. In 2018, the right leaning Weekly Standard accused The Duran of peddling Russian “Fake News.” The website does not provide an about page, mission statement, funding or obvious ownership information. Funded by / Ownership The Duran is owned by the Cyprus based DRN Media PLC. Moscow native Alex Christoforou is the President and Chairman of DRN Media PLC. Funding for The Duran comes from Paypal and Patreon donations, as well as advertising. Analysis / Bias When covering the USA, the Duran demonstrates a conservative bias with frequent articles denigrating the left such as this: Rudy Giuliani DESTROYS Hillary Clinton, “America’s Number One Crime Family” (Video) and this story promoting a conspiracy theory, NXIVM Sex-Cult Prosecutors Have Evidence Of Illegal Clinton Campaign Contributions For “Political Influence”. This latter story is copied and pasted from the right wing conspiracy website Zerohedge. In general, The Duran routinely publishes pro-Russian propaganda and promotes right wing conspiracies through the use of poorly sourced, plagiarized news articles.
  4. Atkins: Blue Jays have 'flexibility' to spend $100M on marquee free agent The Toronto Blue Jays are poised to be aggressive in free agency, and general manager Ross Atkins said the front office has the green light to spend. Atkins told the Toronto chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America that the team has the financial "flexibility" to spend in the $100-million range on a marquee free agent, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet. He added that the team was not ruling out any pitcher who remains on the open market, which could include Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg. "There's not a free-agent pitcher that we haven't touched base with and we have been aggressively trying to understand every opportunity and we'll continue to do that," Atkins said, according to Davidi. "There remains opportunity out there." The Blue Jays have been linked to the likes of Hyun-Jin Ryu, Dallas Keuchel, and Michael Pineda in recent days. Toronto was also reportedly interested in right-hander Zack Wheeler and catcher Yasmani Grandal prior to their signings. https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/1897662
  5. Report: Blue Jays interested in Ryu, Keuchel The Toronto Blue Jays are interested in free-agent pitchers Hyun-Jin Ryu and Dallas Keuchel, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network. https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/1897018

  7. Report: Wheeler expected to land 5-year deal worth over $100M Zack Wheeler is expected to cash in this offseason. The free-agent right-hander has received at least one $100-million offer and will land a five-year deal in excess of that amount, reports The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. Among the teams pursuing Wheeler are the Chicago White Sox, Minnesota Twins, Cincinnati Reds, Texas Rangers, and Toronto Blue Jays, Rosenthal adds. Wheeler is widely viewed as the third-best free-agent starting pitcher available behind Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg following two straight stellar campaigns with the New York Mets. https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/1896435
  8. Not sure myself tbh, but do know they have been picking up some pitchers here and there this off season.

  10. Has Nurse been trying to learn figure skating in the off season.... Looked like he was going for a triple axel there But in all seriousness, that was a joke what a clown Nurse is, I didn't know he was one of those people in the league, guys a joke.
  11. Yeah it was one of those plays that make you go like this. And normally when I feel like that, it's a good sign it should be a penalty automatically. And the fact that you clearly see Neals stick in between Tanevs legs, was already a no brainer.
  12. Oh yeah totally, he really seemed worried of being the one dictating the game for the Oilers and to allow Vancouver a chance to tie it, that's the sense I'm getting, and that's bad. That's a play the league has been addressing for years now to get ride of to prevent serious injuries, it's just a joke how it's run imo, because I bet if Tanev was injured then a penalty would of been called, because it would put the ref on the spot and they would have to make the call, but if the player doesn't get hurt they can ignore the call just a joke.
  13. Not defending Nurse yes he sold it like it hit him in the face which was sad, almost was like watching Kesler again in a way, but replay, it did look like Erikssons stick hit Nurses helmet on the top of his head when he went to switch sides with his stick, it was a weak call, but it still was technically a stick to the head unfortunately, but the acting job of Nurse to sell it after was very weak, he should of also got a penalty for that sell job.
  14. I'd like to see him post the guys who they should replace and see the reaction he gets then
