In an article titled "Leafs seek retribution against Flyers' Carcillo" wouldn't you think that the reporter would examine the Leafs point of view, possibly even getting a quote from a Toronto player or two? No. Instead Sam Carchidi this morning has decided to stir a pot that doesn't need any stirring by using the call up of a player with a whopping 5 fights during 3 months in the AHL as some sort of factual statement.
Carcillo throat slashing gesture aside, these two teams started the preseason off on the wrong foot. A game with 4 fights on September 17th and then a follow up with 6 fights on September 19th. Two of the top teams in fighting majors. A team with Daniel Carcillo and a team with Colton Orr. And then more violence last game. You know, what this game really a needs? Some conjecture!
Well shit. The Flyers are inserting OKT in the lineup tonight, Sam. Why not "Leafs Call Up Goon. Flyers insert Tollefsen. Colton Orr Sends Me a Candy Gram In Which He Tells Me That He's Going To Actually Murder All The Flyers On The Ice And The Entire Coaching Staff And All the Fans. And the Phanatic."
FyourI - this is the reason that a lot of players hate talking to you and give you quotes right out of last week's article. You come up with this bullshit on your own and then ask them about it. "What do you think about what I just said you think?" But hey, blood sells right?
Sam, you paying for the ambulances outside the arena tonight too?
Run the siren. Run the goddamn siren. I'm payin' for it. Let 'em know there's gonna be blood in there. I can circle, but it's gonna cost you more. Oh, for Christ's sake. - There.
