Nice to see the Habs pick up local boy Torrey Mitchell. I grew up on the same street as him and we played street hockey together. Really chill dude and he should help our bottom six.

As much as I was against the Blueshirts dropping Duclair, I'm all for this Yandle trade. Rangers looking alright so far with him

Gall Legge Grant & Munroe LLP Release a Statement on Behalf of Their Clients Dion Phaneuf, Elisha Cuthbert and Joffrey Lupul



VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - March 3, 2015) - The following is a statement by Peter A. Gall, Q.C. of Gall Legge Grant & Munroe LLP on behalf of their clients Dion Phaneuf, his wife Elisha Cuthbert and Joffrey Lupul.

"On behalf of our clients Dion Phaneuf, his wife Elisha Cuthbert and Joffrey Lupul, we have sent a letter to TSN demanding that TSN issue a formal apology and pay a significant amount of damages to each of our clients for broadcasting a false and defamatory tweet during their trade deadline show yesterday. We are sending a similar letter to the author of the tweet, Mr. Anthony Adragna.

"It is bad enough that there are people who spend their time using social media to publish such false and malicious stories, but it is made much worse when a reputable media outlet like TSN gives broad circulation and credibility to these false stories by republishing them as TSN did.

"If TSN and Mr. Adragna do not immediately comply with the demands set out in our letters, we have instructions from our clients to immediately commence a lawsuit against them.

"Our clients will not be discussing this matter with the media. Any questions should be directed to the undersigned."

How does Duclair have a bad attitude? He's a well spoken, hard working kid with a good head on his shoulders.

I remember a few years back Kyle Turris refused to report to the Phoenix Coyotes and held out for a new contract until late November and nobody in the media vilified him. Same with Ryan O'Reilly who held out from the Avs for more cash, nobody called him a punk or selfish. Yet when Subban wanted to secure a long term deal, he was called every name in the book and CBC's PJ Stock even accused him of "not knowing his place".

A former NFL player from Montreal named Tommy Kane(he's a convicted murderer now BTW), who also played in a pee-wee tournament against Mario Lemieux, once said that he always dreamed of playing in the NHL but quit because of the rampant cism and stuck to football.

Playoff miracle lives Gonna go to the Tuesday game against the Bruins, essentially a playoff game. If we win we're 3 points back with another game left against the Bruins.
