News Article: Steve Simmons is an idiot...Part Infinity

[barilko05]

SIMMONS SAYS: Giant opportunity for the Maple Leafs can't be wasted | Toronto Sun

This might be the most ridiculous thing this goober has ever written. He thinks that Dubas, because the team needs "grit" is looking at Nick Foligno. And that we'd have to give up Kerfoot, plus Sandin, Liljgren or Robertson or a high pick to get him.

So let me get this straight: We trade a guy we need (Kerfoot) for the expansion draft and a top level prospect...for a month or so of Nick Foligno.
An aging, gritty, soon to be FA forward who's barely outscored Vesey this season...and has a big fat contract to boot.
Whatever he's on I want some!
And for all of you who think this is just the guy to "get us over the hump" and "who cares about the future, we gotta win now," I got one name for ya...

Owen Nolan.

f*** Steve Simmons, I don't care what he has to say.

 

[Marshy]

Not sure we can help Columbus with their cap dump. Perhaps if they retain 50% and add a pick we could trade them a late pick...do we have any journeyman D left on the Marlies? I know...Marincin.

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Lou handed out 2nd round picks for 4C's so naturally Dubas needs to trade our 2LW, a top prospect and/or a top pick to get a 3rd line player. It all makes sense..

Wasn't this covered yesterday in another thread ?? Last thing we need is two open Simmons threads.

But he's such a fountain of wisdom. Surely there can never be enough....

Seriously, I didn't see it if there was indeed another.

 

[HabsInsider]

Are we even sure Steve Simmons is a Leaf fan and not just someone out to destroy the organization from within?

I mean, his idiotic comments cause players to hate him. He reinforces the narrative that Leaf fans and the Toronto media are toxic. He's constantly a hindrance to an organization that is trying hard to win.

I think he's either a closet fan of another team or he holds some weird grudge against the Leafs.

Almost everyone in Leafs Nation doesn’t respect this guy. We shouldn’t post his articles/click his links. We should boycott everything Steve Simmonds period.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

I don’t care about losing Kerfoot... but including those prospects is completely insane.

 

[Coachcorner]

Owen Nolan was a huge players sire, one of mi favourites of all time and he did play some real hard games for us too.

But yeah, to the subject: We don't need to give up that much for another thug. We already have some thugs. Simmonds, Bogo and a half thug in Joey. Hyman our regular thug already. We ain't needing more. If we is, we gon get a sucka like Staal or something like that thurr. Something like uh...... Rinaldo etc. Cheap suckas. Fools. Not like that.

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

Congrats, you just generated additional clicks for Simmons. Who's the idiot now?

or just one big "All Simmonds Stuff goes Here" thread ..........simple really

 

[Stephen]

One aspect I absolutely hate about Steve Simmons style coverage is pulling one name out of a hat and creating all this urgency in acquiring him. No doubt Foligno would fill a role but I’m also sure pro scouting could identify a few other off the radar examples who could do the same job that doesn’t involve some dumb scenario where the cupboards are cleared.

 

[Kurtz]

Does a 2nd rounder count as a high pick? I'd give up Kerfoot and a 2nd for Foligno no problem.

Agreed and cannot be stated enough, in fact we should all make a pact as Leafs nation to never intentionally click one of this ass-clown's articles, he feeds off our anger like the Emperor in Return of the Jedi

I don't typically click on threads about Simmonds, in fact I largely ignore his negative stories.

For some reason I did, and I have to admit this is probably the least offensive Simmonds article I've read. Am I missing something?
