And I have heard from my sources (they are 99% sure on this one) that the Devils are about to aquire Sergei Zubov from the stars. Would you like to start a new topic about that?
Look at it this way: do you think that the consumate team leader/captain would refuse to play for a coach knowing the damage it would cause his team? Hell no!Not only has Stevens had zero on ice practice since the incident, but he still complains about major headaches he gets from doing basically nothing in the news paper. In fact, I beleive that he was getting re-evaluated for the first time today by Karen Johnson (and he wouldnt be cleared to play before getting re-evaluated). Stevens is in some serious pain right now, and I have not seen a single thing that would lead me to beleive that Pat Burns would question this.
And to better put it (as quoted by Guttersnipe at hf http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=52579&page=2):
"I'm not someone who criticizes posts, but I'd be pretty pissed off if people started posting ridiculous false rumours (like this Stevens bs from the other board).
First, Burns has always made it clear that he greatly admires Stevens and supposedly they had an excellent working relationship.
But more importantly, this rumor portrays one of hockey's greatest warriors as a petulant child. I cannot conceive how anyone can believe that Stevens is healthy.
So, a healthy Stevens sat out the most recent Flyer game? That when Stevens says he's suffering from and being treated for post-concussion syndrome, and can't even ride a stationary bike, he's actually lying? That when says he's depressed and frightened that his career might be over, he's also lying?
This type of bs gossip belongs in junior high lunch room or granny sewing circle. News flash: the greatest Devil of all time may never play another game and that is what every Devil fan should be concerned about."
