News Article: Mike Hoffman's girlfriend allegedly behind Karlsson Harrassment. Update June15: Hoffman & gf respond

[stempniaksen]

They really don't think about it too much. Dressing rooms are not exactly a rosy place.

That would be a step too far though, a guy can't publicly call his captain a Richard without it being an issue in the media. Players are coached on this, they're smarter than that, no one would be stupid enough to go out of their way to reveal their name on the record.

 

[Ice-Tray]

I'll say it right now, there wasn't one superstar in the 80s that everyone liked in the room. You forget how competitive most of these guys are...there is a ton of jealousy between the little dogs and the big dog on most teams.

Obviously you don't know this to be a fact, but there's a difference between 'most do' and 'most don't' right? I'm not sure we have to be trapped by the 'everyone' card play.

I'm not buying the 'ton of jealousy' bit either.

 

[mysens]

wheres @mysens. i need to hear that they all had dinner last night and he was there and everything is actually one big joke.. Hoffman, karlsson, melnyk, and @mysens just laughing over a couple beers.. just laughing. imagine?

I knew about this whole fiasco over 4 weeks before it made it out to the media. But I didn't want to have to explain my source as it would jeopardize my connection, EK is staying.

I could see EK prefers to stay.. or at least at some point would have preferred to stay. Staying .. well that takes both parties to make happen. I doubt if he's staying no matter what.

If Alfie is in the background telling EKand Dorin to hang in there, the sale will happen this summer, maybe Dorion comes out of this as the White Knight that saved 'EK in Ottawa' from the crazy owner?

Admittedly many things could be happening

He'll never be more than a "Yes Man" to me. True professionals who are good at their job don't allow themselves to knowingly be put in a position where you need to be a yes man. For an example of what to do see Alfie telling the Euge to pound sand

I'll admit, this is a conspiracy that's been in the back of my mind. I wonder if Melnyk originally told Dorion to deal EK by the trade deadline and Dorion successfully stalled. I remember that weird line, I forget from who, about how Dorion had permission from Melnyk to wait until past the trade deadline to deal EK. If that was true and accurate, that would imply there was some sort of initial expectation from Melnyk that EK had to be dealt by the deadline, and that Dorion may have been able to change Melnyk's mind, probably by selling him on offers being better in the off season.

Obviously, it's huge mostly baseless speculation, but it makes for a fun conspiracy theory. Now the draft has come and gone and we're hearing reports that the team is okay with holding on to EK going into the season without an extension or trade. That might just be the Senators working the media to try and gain leverage in a trade, but it still fits the conspiracy.

I am new here, is this dude reliable?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I am new here, is this dude reliable?

He claims to frolic with Ottawa's elite and has inside scoops on Karlsson through parties close to him --- Is my understanding. No real scoops that have panned out yet.

 

[stempniaksen]

I am new here, is this dude reliable?

In the words of the great Daniel Alfredsson, "probably not".

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

I am new here, is this dude reliable?

No track record to speak of yet, just self-aggrandizing and after-the-fact 'yeah I knew that's. This is probably his first big test.

Been trying to tell people this for weeks.
People love the drama

 

[Sens With Benefits]

I have a feeling he stays as well. All of Melinda’s support and family is here and she is very close and tight with them. She’s also been meeting with Ottawa businesses for her charitable work. Why would she and Erik continue to make connections and start campaigns if they’re leaving?

 

[slamigo]

I am new here, is this dude reliable?

Pretty sure he brings bread sticks to the table and tops off water when EK dines out at that one particular restaurant.

 

[BondraTime]

No.

I mean, Dr. Sen(s)e told us about it like 4 months ago

Can you have a PM conversation with the mods then? Give them the details of your connection(s) and then they can vouch for you.

I've done it before and I'm very confident that they haven't spilled the beans on anything.

If anything, it would end a lot of the questions that you face.

Thanks for the insights though. I hope EK does stay.

Not too add even more to this particular fire, however, can you imagine if the above had any degree of truth, and then Dorion used Ryan and his contract to torpedo any potential trade?

That's too much credit, right?

So did I and my source says there is no chance he stays with this ownership group. If Melnyk sell's its a high probability he is here for the long haul.

Ok. So now you've said this, explain your sources.

Not needed why do people with sources care about what mods think with all due respect?
He's either lying or telling the truth TBD.
