Leetch Moving South?

1) Several sources close to the situation tells FAUXRUMORS this early Friday morning that the agent for Brian Leetch and Jay Feaster, GM for the Tampa Bay Lightning were in discussions to bring in the future Hall of Famer to the sunshine state. Though nothing appears imminent, its the first credible rumor we've heard concerning Leetch in over a month or more
2) We're told that Brian and current head coach John Tortorella(who was a Ranger's assistant coach) have remained friends, and John has been trying to lure Brian to join his team. In addition other sources have told FAUXRUMORS that Mrs. Leetch, who was the main impetus for Brian not playing in Ottawa or out west, gave the green light to possibly move to the warm climate of the Bay area.
3) In other news, FAUXRUMORS2 tells us they are working on a Chris Pronger story that they hope to have out by the end of the weekend or early next week. We are here in Buffalo. Got out of Chicago just in time we're told. The problem may be tonight and tomorrow here when the snow will catch up with us.
4) In the mean time, we look forward to meeting a bunch of folks this afternoon/evening. Some Ranger fan/readers plan to attend along with many folks up in upstate NY where we seem to have quite the following. Hopefully conditions will allow out door tailgating, if not we will make alternative plans.
As always, keep it here for the latest!

Ok..so newest rumour is Leetch to Tampa then...interesting.

Antzmarching said...

A. Yes, this one should be interesting. I am curious where Leetch ends up. While I haven't heard these specific whispers, the move makes sense. I can where several teams SHOULD be interested in Leetch's services.

B. I personally believe Leetch would be a great fit in New Jersey. This would take some of the heat off Rafalski, who hasn't been the same player since Scott Niedermayer left. We shall see. And remember FAUX, NUTZ will be watching.

Faux Rumors2 said...

1) Yes, we know Nutz will be watching. Infact he already predicted/wrote where Leetch will end up. He just needs to find out first so he knows when to post/back date it. LOL LOL

faux rumors said...

1) Hey Paintball, , or whatever your real name is; we welcome differing opinions here, BUT No SPAM!
2) Those are the only posts that we will delete. So feel free and offer your point of view without refering to another web site's address.
3) Very simple, and really the only rule we have here, OK?

Unknown said...

You shamelessly promote your website in another sites forums, but I can't do it here. Okay. I would love to see if this rumor comes true. Whats your track record?

Antzmarching said...

Luv2paintball is here!!! Ok Faux, these people are intent on keeping you busy. Is it getting too hot in the kitchen?

Some viewers just don't understand that FAUX is the operative word. You have never tried to disguise that fact. I guess I will be called an apologist or sycophant now. Who cares, this blog is both informative and entertaining. Screw everyone out there who either has no sense of humor or who cannot take a joke.

PINKO has it in perspective, as always. Sometimes its serious, but mostly it is designed to amuse, and promote commentary.

Unknown said...

Wow. This is boring. I want to talk hockey. Anyone here? Maybe I should go to another site that has a crappy track record of reported rumors, (I don't know how you can have a correct rumor percentage, they are, after all, rumors), but at least there I can talk hockey...

Isn't that exactly what that unnamed blogger, (with his much larger site, with forums, 20+ bloggers and, accoring to Faux, a horrible track record), is doing as well? Just promoting commentary, yet someone from here is posting on his site just trying to cause a little trouble...

Faux Rumors2 said...

1) If its hockey you want to discuss Paintball, this is the place. Certainly the Eklund site seldomly talks about hockey, just discusses his daily made up rumors.
2) As for your claim that we spam others, that is TOTALLY untrue. None of us who have posted on the buzz site leavee a web site in our responses. If some, like yourself, want to visit/make comments here that's fine. All are welcome, even the folks who love to be contrarian

Faux Rumors2 said...

1) So calling Eklund a 'fraud' because his track record of being correct is admittedly 95% wrong(We have figured it out to be closer to be 99.5%) is making trouble?
2) We believe its simply calling a spade a spade. It only hurts if its true. As it aparently has, we rest our case

Guess you've never been to his site. There are forums where you can discuss the day's games, fantasy forums, misc forums where you can talk about anything you want, an NHL forum where you can talk about any aspect of the game. Maybe 2% of all comments on the site are in response to "his daily made up rumors."

Joseph said...

Personally I think Leetch is done..he has missed a 1/4 of the season already, so he certainly isn't going to make an immediate positive impact on any team that might be desperate enough to sign him...he might add vetern leadership (was he ever a good leader??) and well if he can round into form by the end of the season, he might be a nice pick up for a playoff run....but i think he has priced himself out of most gms radar...the panthers probably have room for him...maybe the caps, or the pens...time for leetch to come to terms with the fact that he is no longer an elite dman and either retire, or swallow his pride and offer his services at a reasonable price.

"We believe its simply calling a spade a spade. It only hurts if its true. As it aparently has, we rest our case"

Ek calls a spade a spade too. ITS A RUMOR SITE!!! Right there he is telling all his readers that what he is writing is probably not gonna happen. You need to bust out a dictionary and find the definition of a rumor...

Faux Rumors2 said...

1) A rumor has no basis in truth, yet Eklund usues a key in his reports e(1)-e(5)that gives the number of sources he has. This give the impression to the reader that there IS some fact/actual sources close to the issue who are behind the 'rumor'/in the know.
2) IF that were true, his track record would be MUCH better than 99.5% WRONG

Unknown said...

Even at 99.5% Wrong Ek's track record is better than Faux's who uses Newspaper Websites from the day before to creat rumors, then creates blog entries and back dates them so it looks like he predicted something when he posted it after the press conference...and makes up fictitious bloggers to comment on his site!

Ek may be wrong about his rumors...but he has never claimed otherwise...even Faux pointed out that Ek openly admits to being right less than 5% of the time.

According to my tally Faux has been right 0% of the time.

As for me back dating my posts... I have done that one time to show it could be done...and prove that was one of the things FAUX did...my site isn't about rumors...

IMHockeynutz blog is about HOCKEY!

Antzmarching said...

Once again, cut through all the accusations and name calling, and who gives HOCKEY insight? Pinko, of course... I am NOT his personal spokesman, but look at the product that has resulted from this post... C'mon people, let's talk hockey... "Oh, Ned Braden has come into the booth" THIS IS HOCKEY!!!

Antzmarching said...

PINKO writes: time for leetch to come to terms with the fact that he is no longer an elite dman and either retire, or swallow his pride and offer his services at a reasonable price.

True, and it is his projected salary that would cause problems for the NJ cap... I just think that's a good fit for him... Leetch is certainly no longer the threat he once was, but in the right situation/system, he can still contribute adequately...

Dex Ter said...

I just wanted to let everyone know that due to constant harassment from a unnamed person I will be moving my blog to a new site:

fuxrumors.blogspot.com

I will be able to better control this guy at this new address!

Happy Rumor Reading!

Faux Rumors2 said...

1) Looks like someone went to an awful lot of trouble to try to deride us.
2) We take such actions opposite of their intended reaction. We welcome it. If someone is willing to put so much apparent time into making up a pseudo blog to imitate us, we are VERY flattered.
3) All comments both positive, negative and wacky are just fine. Just no spam. Thank all.

Unknown said...

FUXING hilarious!

But you owe me a new wireless keyboard...I shot a mouthful of coffee all over mine when I saw that!

My only question is...

How did you get a hold of that pic of Faux? As far as I know he had only shared that with Kevin Weekes and Derek Jeter! Ha ha!

Sorry...that was sitting right over the plate...

Joseph said...

Can you feel the love tonight??? Geezus, this is why I have spent the last day and a half watching the Liberal Leadership Convention...to the Yanks out there, the Liberals are sorta like the Democrats....thankfully the Leafs play the Habs tonight..yes hockey..hockey damn it.

Faux Rumors2 said...

1) Just a couple of observations: One, some people apparently are VERY easily amused as witnessed by some of the reaction to the silly pseaudo faux web site.
2) Enjoyed not only seeing the Maple Leaves lose, but to see one of our least favourite players, Darcy Tucker, get a bloody face in the process! Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy LOL

Joseph said...

Bou Bou's face mash on Tucker was a thing of beauty..changed the momentum of the game I thought...I am not a huge Bou Bou fan, but if he smacks Tucker down a few more times, he will quickly become on of my favs.
