looks like the knights are gonna have a hard time dismissing this

https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2017/02/21/new-allegations-of-london-knights-jersey-fraud.html

One of the men — an employee of the club's retail operation five years ago — said staff would routinely rub puck marks on new shirts to create a game worn appearance.

”(My manager at the time) explained to me how he threw hockey pucks to replicate marks on the jersey," said Tyler French, an avid jersey collector who worked in the club's store in the 2012-13 season. ”I was in the store bending over the heat press making jersey orders that came in and he came out of the back office and said he's hanging up jerseys and throwing pucks at them."

Former Knights retail store employee French, also an avid hockey jersey collector, bought his jersey for about $900 through a Knights' online auction.

It was, according to an accompanying letter of authenticity, worn by star player Olli Maatta during the 2013-14 season and in the 2014 Memorial Cup.

But Maatta played that entire season with the Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL. Records show he did not play one game for London, nor did he play in the 2014 Memorial Cup.

No big shock, but clubs say #Habs GM Marc Bergevin sent out note advising D Greg Pateryn is available. He's in lineup tonight vs. #NYR.

Happy now Stefani?

 

[ElephantShell]

Happy now Stefani?

If he's right handed somebody might give up more than he's worth.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Happy now Stefani?

I really don't wanna see Greg go but his stupid wife ruined it. Why the fuck would you say those things on Twitter where everyone can see it.

 

[imBask]

Enjoy being used the exact same way elsewhere dickhead

Pateryn had every opportunity to be a constant, solid 5-6

I was being facetious, I'm sure this isn't a result of her comments, he's been a healthy scratch for most of the season.

Pretty much, he is what he is. He'll be a 5-7 guy on any team he gets traded to.

let's not get crazy here, he'd be a top 2 with the Leafs

 

[Silexx]

But NHL said no injury tho

 

[Yawnier]

I would actually take Pateryn back, he would be an instant upgrade on one of the Hunlak pairing.

But there is Marchenko who has been rotting away in the press box since he got claimed a week or two ago

Marchenko has really filled in nicely for Corrado though.

Someone in a small francophone town in southern Manitoba was having issues and I was trying to help them. Called the facility like 5 times asking to talk to Lysanne and the person answering the main switchboard corrected my pronunciation every time.

I know Stefani's struggle only too well.

New allegations of London Knights’ jersey fraud

Here’s the sales pitch: hockey jerseys worn in action by star players with the Ontario Hockey League’s London Knights during their 2013-14 season and in the championship series.

The allegations: They’re fake.

New charges of jersey fraud are being levelled against the Knights by three hockey memorabilia collectors interviewed as part of an ongoing Star investigation into game-worn jersey authenticity.

The Knights memorabilia they purchased never saw actual ice time, according to the collectors and public records.

One of the men — an employee of the club’s retail operation five years ago — said staff would routinely rub puck marks on new shirts to create a game worn appearance.

“(My manager at the time) explained to me how he threw hockey pucks to replicate marks on the jersey,” said Tyler French, an avid jersey collector who worked in the club’s store in the 2012-13 season. “I was in the store bending over the heat press making jersey orders that came in and he came out of the back office and said he’s hanging up jerseys and throwing pucks at them.”

Trevor Whiffen, legal counsel for the Knights, did not respond to repeated interview requests. The club’s general manager, Rob Simpson, and co-owner, Mark Hunter, also did not respond to requests for comments.

The Star first reported on allegations of the fraud last August. London jersey collector Scott Galbraith alleged in a civil suit obtained by the Star that he paid $4,000 for a jersey worn on the ice by Toronto Maple Leafs first-round 2015 draft pick Mitch Marner, winner of the OHL’s most outstanding player award last year.

Galbraith’s suit alleged the club “knowingly” passed off a “false letter of authenticity” as authentic and fabricated a “fake game-worn jersey.”

The club denied the allegations in response to questions from the Star at the time.

Why? Why do this? You are, for most intensive purposes, the richest and most successful major junior team in Canada. So why do you stoop down to the level of petty fraud?

 

[Erdrick]

Melchiori is in? STUART AND POSTMA?!

Marner may get 3 points from the press box god damn.

I'll try and find Teppo Numminen to see if he can suit up for us again. Would be better than 3/4's of what's currently iced for tonight. Seriously one of the worst looking d corps I've seen in a while, barring Byfuglien and Morrissey.

Also those posts in the HFboards... I'm glad the Leafs fans here are better than that.

Good attitude to have.

How many #6-7 defeneseman do the Leafs need?

I would seriously think about kidnapping Tucker Poolman from UND or flying Sami Niku in from Finland rather than have Stuart and Postma on the ice, and Melchiori is somehow worse than Stuart. Good lord, that's as bad a defense as I can imagine the Jets icing in a non-preseason game.

And that HFBoards thread was too much to even read ironically. Just a cesspool of idiocy for all team boards, the only thing that changes is what specifically the fanbase is being dumb about.

No excuse for that, but it's "intents and purposes" FYI

You can never have enough guys that sit out games or are shipped off the Marlies.

Leafs need Kindl

The Jets are destined to win tonight. Hockey gods or whatever.

 

[Smiley90]

But I thought the Leafs had five top2 d-men, probably more once the vets wake up

 

[Smiley90]

Laich on waivers. Less than 24h after he said he wants to play for a competitor? Shouldve specified the league I guess...

 

[DopeyFish]

Not sure why you keep mocking me with this...

The vets have been a big issue this season.

Yeah I can't imagine why.


On another note, the "not injured by a 2-game suspended headshotting Trouba" Mark stone is out tonight with a neck injury.

Whoopsies.

 

[Fata1moose]

Erik Johnson is returning this week, at least?

He's been out forver, he'll take some time to get into the fold of things, but still better than the defense currently in the lineup. RIP Zadorov's ankle.

I think the joke is partially that the vets are bad and thus will never "wake up".

 

[Solo]

well, right now i'd rather have space to sign Radulov than pay Galchenyuk the 7M he's going to ask

i'm also excited to talk about Price next year, and suddenly turn into a "price hater" because I don't believe in $12M goalies no matter how great they are

If Price asks for 8 figures I'll pack his bags myself.

want to meet up and start practicing our bag packing skills?

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Boy, these Laine and Matthews interviews are something else.

 

[MetatronM]

Oh good, John Amirante doing the anthem tonight at MSG. Only the good stuff for the Habs.

 

[calder]

At least next year when the Calder is awarded everyone will remember that absolutely no one talks about McDavid and Eichel anymore like that's a thing and we won't have any of this boring shit. I had to think hard about who won last year, which is probably a sign.

You can just see Laine and Matthews choking back weary, bored sighs as they admit yet again that they both think the other guy is good at hockey and they're good at hockey too.

 

[Cake Boss]

Mike Richards knows a thing about packed bags.

So then wtf? Worst DoPS decision this season so far.

Ben Smith still needs to be launched into the sun though

to be fair... he was playing quite a bit better before his injury.

When Gauthier came in and absolutely embarrassed him though? lol


Before Gauthier: PK FO: 44.7% PK: 83.2%
Gauthier: PK FO: 47.9% PK: 88.9%
After Gauthier: PK FO: 35.7% PK: 75.9%

The thirst by the media is ridiculous.

I've heard hot takes both ways in which Laine is extra motivated cause he wanted to be #1 and Matthews is motivated because Laine has more points.

Imagine if both guys were Canadian.

Dan Robertson‏ @DRTSN690

Paul Byron stung Carey Price with a shot to the left shoulder in warm up. Price left the ice with 3:00 left on clock.

Every fucking time we enter MSG, some bullshit happens.

oh yes. Laine will humiliate Matthews once again, and all shall rejoice.
