If not, then Friedman didn’t really say exactly what the team said, imo. The quotation marks change the entire context of the team’s statement. Why the gratuitous quote marks from Friedman? Does he have such contempt for his readers that he doesn’t think we’re smart enough to read between the lines ourselves? Quotation marks indicate that he is quoting the team. Quotation marks are not indicating sarcasm/irony or whatever else you are trying to place on them. This is a ridiculous conversation. Edited October 27, 2021 by Curt 2

Really? In this case the quotation marks absolutely point to sarcasm, regardless if it was the original team quote or Friedman’s embellishment. There is simply no need for them otherwise. 1

No. Friedman put the words “stepping aside” inside of quotation marks, because he was quoting those words. That’s what quotation marks are generally used for, to indicate words that are quoted. If you are seeing anything deeper than that, I think you are just way way off base. I don’t think anyone else here will agree with your interpretation of what Friedman wrote.

It’s just that given Friedman’s blatant shilling in the Eichel saga, I have to question his journalistic integrity.

On social media, "ironic quotes" are used frequently and I can see where you took it that way. I really think they were non-ironic quotes indicating a literal, word-for-word quote.
Doohicksie Posted October 27, 2021 Author Report Posted October 27, 2021 In other news, Seattle looks like they're on their way to their first home win, up on MTL 4-1 in the third period. And frankly, the Habs look really weak. I'm watching the MTL feed and I have to keep laughing because their color guy is making tons of weak excuses for them. "They are doing a lot of good things, but they're letting in goals, too." lolwut. Marty Biron was one of the "insiders" during the period break.
Doohicksie Posted October 27, 2021 Author Report Posted October 27, 2021 And now it's 5-1. The Kraken are getting good chances and burying them. 2 clean breakaways and a 2-on-1 that Gourde turned into an effective breakaway.
PerreaultForever Posted October 27, 2021 Report Posted October 27, 2021 Montreal is really really bad.

Huckleberry Posted October 27, 2021 Report Posted October 27, 2021 I had montreal as a bottom 5 team, but not a bottom team lol 🙂

Don't forget about Danault . Koktaneimi and even Perry. I know people here don't like him and he's well past his prime, but he did provide leadership and some big contributions on their cup run. Staal they're probably fine without 🙂 2

Flashsabre Posted October 28, 2021 Report Posted October 28, 2021 OMG Leafs down 2-0 to the Hawks who hadn’t held a lead all season until tonight, have no Patrick Kane in the lineup and had a disastrous, distracting day overall. The Leafs embrace being embarrassed in the most humiliating ways.🤣 2

Doohicksie Posted October 28, 2021 Author Report Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) And the Panthers continue to roll. Duclair just scored on a breakaway, cutting through the top of the crease from Ullmark's left to his right and Ullmark (as we all know) doesn't have the best lateral movement. Duclair beat him to the post. Edited October 28, 2021 by The Ghost of Yuri It cracks me up that both of our league minimum goalies have better save percentages than Ullmark! :D 1 1
Broken Ankles Posted October 28, 2021 Report Posted October 28, 2021 Sergei Bobrovsky was quoted in the postgame, “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated”. 1
Doohicksie Posted October 28, 2021 Author Report Posted October 28, 2021 Risto with a penalty in the game against the Oilers about a minute into the game. Nope. Don't miss him.
PerreaultForever Posted October 28, 2021 Report Posted October 28, 2021 Bobrovsky is playing really well. As much as it pains me to say it, Reinhart looked pretty good in that Bruins Panthers game. Definitely outplayed Hall. Ullmark was Ullmark.
