A few whiskeys on the patio after work + the wife not being home + absolutely NO interesting hockey news = this thread.
Sorry
I will admit that I sometimes read Eklund - but confess it's just to laugh because he's so damn obvious and off base. To all of those posters who occasionally sneak through and start a thread based on an Eklund rumour - I dedicate this to you:
Eklund Says: "I have from a solid source within the Leafs organization..." Translation: "I follow Paul Hendrick, Mike Ulmer, and 3 MLSE ushers on twitter."
Eklund Says: "I can't give any details right now, but the Leafs are working a huge deal..." Translation: "I need hits to my website"
Eklund Says: "Let me tell you how this works. You see, I talk to many sources every day...." Translation: "I'm going to give a long, drawn out speel about sources and such, none of which is new to anybody, and I'm going to lace it with about 14 loop-holes so I can't be proven wrong ... well ... because it makes me sound important and that gives me a woody"
Eklund Says: "My sources tell me the Leafs are working on a deal to bring in a number one centre" Translation: "I just watched Darren Dreger on TSN say the Leafs need a number one centre this off season"
Eklund Says: "I'm going to travelling to <insert key hockey event> so won't be able to post for a while..." Translation: "I'm sitting in front of my computer in my mothers basement with a bottle of Jergins, a box of kleenex, and a naked picture of Betty White ... this is going to be fun!"
My favourite Eklund moment was when Bryan Hayes was talking about Eklund on his TSN radio show, basically ripping him for being a fraud. Which prompted Eklund to actually call into the show to defend himself. So Hayes and Eklund discussed his site and how he comes up with these 'rumours' for about 10 minutes, and at the end of the interview Hayes said "well....you keep making that money". Lol

Wish I heard that lol.
Eklund is a moron. Every off season the Leafs are about to land a huge player.
This year- Getzlaf
Last year- Stamkos
Few years ago- Cammelleri

Have more Whiskeys after work, and tell the woman to leave the house more often. This thread made my day. Kudos sir.

Can't believe people frequent his site.
This past season a couple of weeks prior to the trade deadline he announced that the Leafs had gotten their man (presumably a #1 center) and that all that was left was to submit the paperwork to the league and then announce the trade. It was a done deal and was a blockbuster. We're still waiting on that one.
Note for new users: there is no reason to quote the OP in a thread; everyone is aware of which thread your comment is directed towards....
Thanks! 2 of the 3 who did that have been here longer then you, but I guess we need someone to correct us on forum etiquette, spelling, grammar. Maybe try to add to the disscussion, this is a hockey forum!
LeafsNation: I know he doesn't like Russians and he did say there wasn't anybody in this draft who would be immediate help but I would've taken maybe Murray 1st, but whatever this Rielly kid looks pretty smooth
LeafLanders: Gawd what an idjit, he should be fired I can't believe he didn't take Forsberg/Grigorenko/traded up for Galchenyuk/Yakupov. I could do a better job the game has passed him by. We could've had Brad Richards/Parise/Suter and been saved but he doesn't like those type of contracts, we're doomed
Young LeafLanders: yeah! fire that guy whoever he is?
All that you need to know about him is that during the Kovalchuk mess a couple of summers ago as the NHL was about to hand down it's decision he risked it all and guessed wrong. If he guessed right he would only have hit a 50% shot but by guessing wrong he conclusively proved that he makes things up. He fabricated a source and fabricated a result with the best odds he would ever get and he got it wrong. That's all anyone ever needs to know about him.
