rumours run amok over belfour's non play

Sometimes the papers here look for trouble. There's a rumour going around that belfour quit on the leafs because head office wouldn't pick up his contract for next year. he vehemently denies this and explains that he has a herniation on his lumbar spine and needs surgery.
Eddie's back has been a constant concern, for years now - he's missed a pile of games because of it. And who started these rumours? the press, no doubt, looking for news where there is none. I hate this kind of muckraking.
Other talk is, Quinn will be offered a job in the office after they fire him as coach. This I don't doubt.
Real news is, only it's not news, the only players who are bound to leafs after season ends:
Tellqvist, Sundin, Ponikarovsky, Steen, Domi, Tucker, O'Neill and Belak.

The kind of town that needs hockey news whether there is some or not. Poor eddie - have a feeling he's going to hate this town when he does leave. As much as we hated Cujo when he left.
I know for sure Belfour is a genuine player, a guy who's played until he can't anymore. Never would have believed stories that he's faking it. Not his style.
I mean, there had to be a reason he was slow in the net.

Re: rumours run amok over belfour's non play

On the radio this morning they said that Eddie Belfour (not the Leafs) has announced that he will be undergoing back surgery to try to correct the problem that's keeping him out right now. So I don't think this is a "hey let's tell them you're injured so we can save you the embarressment of being benched" kind of thing.

No, even if maybe that thought had crossed my mind (I suppose we all have vivid imaginations - here i am imagining Mats skating round the rink with the Cup in his big Swedish hands....)
Anyway.
I didn't think that was the case.

There you go blueandwhite girl, I love it when the train leaps off the train tracks and takes a detour through fantasy land...maybe I can doctor up a picture that shows Mats holding the Cup aloft to complete the fantasy...

Too funny! He looks like an '80's Tiger Beat cover boy.

Re: rumours run amok over belfour's non play

He actually looks like the lead singer from the FIXX. OR he is trying to look like Wayne Gretsky. I just love this heated conversation. Blue and White Im glad to see that you are so passionate about your hockey. Its the only way that Toronto will get the better players, if they know that the fans want a better team.
