Nothing happened. Deceptions disagrees:
How about 1963 when two Swedes arrived for training camp. Carl Oeberg and goalie Kjell Svensson travelled to attend the camp in Peterborough and then continued with the club as they played exhibition games out west. They returned to Sweden after figuring it wasn’t worthwhile to give up their amateur status to ride the buses in the minors.
In 1966 Carl Brewer, with lawyer Alan Eagleson at his side, announced his intention of turning amayeur and playing for the national team.
The following year Mike Walton, Bob Pulford Tim Horton and Brian Conacher refused to report to training camp unless they had signed contracts. The action taken was to establish the authority of the newly formed NHL Players Association.
Ok, maybe that's a little harsh. Damien Cox got owned by Capitals owner Ted Leonsis on the latter's, get this, blog. Cox proceeded to have another one of his patented twitter meltdowns. Shocking. It's rather amazing to watch someone spew so much criticism, yet can't take a drop of it himself.
Brad Ross, the Leafs second round draft pick from this past June, managed to get himself kicked out of a preseason tilt with the Soo Greyhounds after collecting (stick tap to Jeff Marek) six penalties through two periods. 'Atta boy Brad!

Careful. He reads PPP. You don’t want to be the subject of his next book.

Nothing Happened?!?
That’s the best we get, “Nothing happened”?

Oh yes, down with Damien Cox.

Leafs pick Brad Ross of Portland handed one-game suspension following penalty-filled preseason game vs. Sault Ste. Marie #WHL #OHL
What the hell happened at that WHL game?

He was ruining shit.

I'm not a fan of him getting so many minor penalties
That just suggests to me that he can’t control himself and plays dirty (not tough or truculent but dirty) and will put us on the PK too much

You know how many goals Kadri can score from the penalty box?
None.
Professional cusser causer.

I'm just saying
We shouldn’t get our panties in a bunch because our prospect is racking up penalty minutes. In a preseason game.
20 miles to Legoland!
Yeah but we shouldn't be cheering for it either

It is what it is. The kid happened to get a bazillion penalties in a pre-season game. I choose not to read too much into it either way. Maybe he was just having a bad night at the office, who knows.

Do we know of any of the minors were off-setting?

OT (but not CC enough)

Is his wife Silk Specre II? Cool link.
Nope. Colby’s wife is named Melissa, and Silk Spectre II was played by Malin Akerman.

Good read so far… a bit optimistic in its wording, if not its intent in some of the content so far. (I am at the player profiles.)
Very nice presentation and a great line up of writers/analysts.
Props all around.

Agreed. I’m through Garrett’s interview with Dave Poulin. Fantastic writing all around so far. Looking forward to the reading the rest on the train!

In other non-news,
for those who haven’t already noticed, TSN is doing a preview of 30 teams in 30 days in order of their “power ranking”. They’ve already covered the bottom-3 in the league, and haven’t mentioned the Leafs – hooray for moving up in the standings!
"Defense! Defense! Common! Do you call that blowing!?"
I'm kinda surprised TSN put us above Columbus.
Edmonton and NYI no brainer, CLB has some good young fwds… I guess their D is just THAT atrocious.

Marketing decision. If they feature the Leafs too early, they’ll lose half their traffic for the rest of the series. They want the page hits from Leafs fans wanting to know what they think of us.

Leafs will be at 25 I think.
Hopefully they can jump about 8-10 spots higher in the actual standings though
