@ExNihilo498746 @Mr_Derivatives Perhaps you have joined him for a smoke.

@Mr_Derivatives What are you smoking… hell no

We’re going long $AMD today for earnings right?!

@MathewGehlsen @MitchyGallo 1. There is a better way to ask the question and still not serve up a fluffball 2. No point in lying. There is ZERO chance he talked to 20 NHL people. 20 respected NHL ppl would talk to this dolt.

@MitchyGallo Reporters should be asking those questions and not fluff pieces. What Chayka did in 2020 was inexcusable and those questions were warranted and people want the answers. Not to mention the leafs have sucked for years and need the front office to get their act together.

And what purpose did the question really serve, other than to try to embarrass or make the people in charge look bad, before they’ve even had a day on the job? I guess you also get a viral clip out of it. That’s cool, in this era of “journalism” I guess… But here’s exhibit A of why so many fans have a negative sentiment about the media that covers sports. Please don’t paint us all with the same brush…

@jbdcox @brrrads @JasonGregor @Sports1440 Both have 4 years left, but Nurse AAV, is $2m higher. No thanks.

@brrrads @JasonGregor @Sports1440 So why wouldn’t the leafs just send him to SanJose instead of taking on Nurse ? Lmao

"I think the guy to look at this summer is Morgan Rielly. It feels like a change would be good for both sides. If they move him, they have to get a D-man in return. They need to get bigger on the backend and move mobile on the backend," Alberga on Toronto blueline @Sports1440

Who is Steve Simmons? A: an Old Media Assclown @MapleLeafs @MeghanChayka @HedgeyeDJ "In 2015, Simmons created a controversy when, in a column he wrote for the Toronto Sun,[10] he claimed that NHL forward Phil Kessel frequented a hot dog vendor located outside of his apartment on a daily basis. The column attracted the attention of ESPN personality Keith Olbermann, who awarded Simmons the title of "Worst Person In The Sports World".[11] Within days, the accuracy of Simmons' column was called into question when contributors to a Toronto Maple Leafs related blog known as Pension Plan Puppets determined that Kessel did not live near where Simmons claimed he did.[12]"

@LouieYanna31658 @ryanwhitney6 No chance 19 would even answer thebphone for that idiot. Let alone give the answers he claims.

@ryanwhitney6 Simmons is a fraud , i call bullshit that 19 nhl personal said that .

Spec gotta be so jealous of Steve Simmons right now

@Schaefdaddie48 @mickey_canuck @simmonssteve It takes no balls to lie fir attention. Hint, no chance in hell there are 2. Let aline 20 respected NHL ppl who would talk to this lying sack if turd.

@mickey_canuck It’s not Controversial at all, its straight to the point and ballsy and I love it Great Job @simmonssteve

Love him or hate him, you gotta respect Steve Simmons for having the balls to ask the controversial, tough questions when needed. Pelley’s non-answer was notable, btw.

@JohnnyGiunta_ Zero fucking chance 20 NHL ppl would talk to that clown. Who ironically is a liar himself.

Genuine question do you think 20 people willingly picked up the phone and answered a Steve Simmons call?

@jcpwaynesworld @ldl716 Answer was perfect, why we would he give that lying sack of shit any airtime at all.

@ldl716 It only took like 30 years but I finally agreed with and liked something that Simmons said! I think Pelley pissed himself when he heard the question because I’ve never heard a more pathetic response from a CEO of a huge corporation.

Steve Simmons HAS BALLS. No one can ever take that away from him. What a great question. To which Pelley had no answer.

@feedthefish79 @alfred_jens Would you expect more from the fabricator of the Phil Kessel hot dog storey. Not a chance 20 respected hockey people talk to that jackass.

@alfred_jens Simmons just threw it out there trying to get attention w no substance behind it.

Steve Simmons with a wild question. And good on Keith Pelley for swatting it away. The old boys hockey club clearly does not like John Chayka - I kind of feel sorry for him and want him to succeed even more now.

@Dubinion @worldhockeyrpt He is a desperate has been hacked trying desperately to stay relevant.

@worldhockeyrpt Simmons? What now way - even if I hated this move - Simmons being against it makes me think it’s probably the right one. Simmons is as annoying as sand in my shoe - and about as insightful

Steve Simmons goes at Keith Pelley for hiring John Chayka. This was something.

@knetchy @worldhockeyrpt It takes no balls to flap your gums with never any concern about being right. Simmons is an idiot shock jock. He is the doorknob who fabricated the Phil Kessel hotdogs storey. I highly doubt he talked to 20 respected NHL ppl, because I doubt there are 20 that would talk to him

@worldhockeyrpt Don’t like the guy but at least he has balls, his job is to get a good response not be their best friend.

@Kgill39 Yet again. More of the Leafs living rent free. LeBrun is a Montreal guy, doesn't give 2 shits about the Leafs

@LawI97I @HernanDaMan Lol, it has been said about Matthew's for years.

@HernanDaMan man! i swear i been thinking the same damn thing. no one said shit about florida panthers or toronto??? like this shit is hilarious at this point

I wonder if Rantanen, Pastrnak, Crosby want out after a first round exit, I wonder if Tampa loses, will Kucherov want out? Or is it just an Edmonton thing? #NHL #LazyNarrative

@SquidRx @HernanDaMan Holy flying fuck, that narrative had been pushed since the day he completed his ELC. And mostly from Edm fans.

@HernanDaMan It seems to be just an Edmonton thing for sure. Why do we not hear how badly Matthews wants out of Toronto all the time?

@BleedOilBlue Here is how a algorithm works. You are an Oilers fans, you read Oilers stuff and more Oilers stuff shows up in your feed. Also consider whom each team lost.

All I’ve heard all day is Oilers hate. Every podcast, every graphic, every stat, every post especially from Toronto Sports Stations. But where’s that same energy for Dallas? But Oilers get the clicks and views 😉 ✅️ Three straight years losing in the Western Conference Final… and now a first round exit. No real defensive depth. And I thought Pete DeBoer was the problem? Funny how that works but hey Dallas GM he's a nice guy. Meanwhile, not a word from Oilers fans about “we should’ve hired Glen Gulutzan after the first 20 games.” That narrative disappeared real quick. I'm in a mooooodddddddddd. I apologize.

@itsWozzz Who is taking that contact? Do Edm offer a sweetener to get someone to take it? 50% retained? It will take some Hudini level magic.

I’ll be called delusional but I do feel the Oilers can extend their Cup window if they make the necessary moves this off-season. In my opinion, that starts by trading Darnell Nurse. Not every move will pan out but you will need more home runs than anything.

@JasonGregor Serious question, who do you think are possibilities for a solid goalie? They dont grow in trees or mature over night. Is there a trade you would target?

Katz will do a full evaluation of management, coaching and players in the next few weeks. Once he decides who stays, then they have to focus on: Solidify goaltending position. Ensure team commits to playing sound defense. Get better penalty killers and a better PK system.

@supeg93 @yzdwes @LalimesMartian Lol, your funny.

@yzdwes @LalimesMartian Why are you listing the Norris winner lmao, who is known as the best playoff producing dman since Coffee.

If I’m Connor McDavid that’d be enough. This team is shit and going nowhere fast. Every Edmonton fan knows it. They missed their chances. Shit D. Shit goaltending.

@ElliottFPrice You think the Jays voted to be mean? A business decision had to be made. Expos and Twins were both bleeding cash and had stadium issues. Rich owners choose based on business, not feelings.

Who cares how the Blue Jays feel? They were gifted the country when they didn't arrive first. They refused to vote against the contraction of the team in Montreal. #Expos Plus how ridiculous is it to claim a market thousands of kilometers away?

@robpizzola @baconator_fts Hard to say D treats D zone as optional when most of the forwards including 97 and 29 constantly cheat the game trying to get offense.

@baconator_fts When you are one of the best offensive players of all-time you get a pass for being an average defender. Especially when the puck is usually in your possession.

People will log on to this app this morning blaming Connor McDavid for another playoff exit when they have had goaltending that gets worse every single postseason and a defense that treats their own zone like it's optional. An all-time great rotting away.
