Aren't by the way did you know that Brad Marchand. Like to drink a little bit dispute Jewelers that we've noticed -- he said. -- But he did say 11 telling moment was when he missed the dvd party that we talked about that. Quote I missed it because I was intoxicated. -- was forced to come. Full court.
But it was the day after the big party talks with so yes I'm not sober just kept -- going to look upon you could do that wondered when the three year to do that now though when you're losing games in your 671 in the last four -- you know you can't do that dreadful against the Rangers was ever called a CD party wasn't in -- it was us this piece of shirtless. On a bar bottle of vodka and each and now not that it's a problem. As well as he'd be not it's not like. A problem like. Posting a quote from Ron Reagan on your FaceBook page that's that's that terrorism team to shred it for defeat is cut out. Partied like he did in July or June or no obvious talking to choose an issue the top and it's -- machinists and a -- read his quote he admits he and Tyler. We're going hard every night art is hard now if this six game road trip. Doesn't work out well for the pros if it's the opposite of last February 70 no existing circle. All the way around back to Tim Thomas is -- yeah. Now and it's Jessica nested as it goes back the year there'll Parcells quote yeah. Mean this it's no excuse unless Thomas turns in massive and he hasn't. That would be to groups who who's -- All in aisle three last night he loved one flu going off chart. That that was a fluke and then and and two. Obviously the play that Callahan goal was great -- And the audio was a great shot. If he gave -- one he loses in causes team can't score. But if Thomas is the reason they lose then I guess it's legit thomas' extracted promises. A problem they're not playing well in front of Thomas but now it's Obama's is it. No I wouldn't say it's comments it's David creature with one -- sixteen games look around that's the whole scandal it's this and -- this stage can't hold the account so that again is that team. If it's true that if you Ryan continues. Team gets just. Unravels because the goaltender. Puts some political quote -- on -- And then makes them answer all the questions for him since he won't do. He didn't make them that's not his fault because if he did answer the questions they would still -- escort not as much is they would not asthma and by the way we all agree we thought -- I believe that he's doing with the team wants him to do now now now he's not talking about. In at work in the locker room. Which you prefer he do that he stand up and giving a whole dissertation about libertarian as libertarian yet -- capsule in the locker got -- it. And you think it would be more people would be less critical. Of -- that ought to think I I I think what -- would do is would remove his his teammates more from the equation and they are now I'm not just went oh really so you sit there for ten minutes listen Tim Thomas 1520 minutes right. In elect Curt Schilling Cochran Powell rice and you don't turn around and say the mile Lucic what do you think.
I would I would preface my comments that bumped him and I'm giving ten minutes and answer questions for fifteen minutes whatever the case may be on the proviso that you leave my teammates out of it. This is that they're doing this is my doing is my FaceBook page these are my thoughts the Smart political agenda this is my. Protest and not going to the White House not -- it's mine -- don't talk to them we saw talked to you for fifteen minutes do not speak to them weeks.
Talk about -- we saw how the media follows him -- rules. He said. -- and talk about that and ten seconds later someone -- but that Ito walk away anyone glad to -- to each other not to listen to ten times that fall Tim thomas' rule. Is lame and you have to agree that if this team falls apart. It is really pathetic to sit there and say that's because -- our goalie has interest and call it whatever it is cause. While couldn't be acquitted the recent great she's not scorn because Tim thomas' Paula that with a researcher they they go oh at six on this road trip and you -- that's legit mr. distracting yourself are your except that excuse that they are accepting -- comments area and how to lose it's pathetic that -- she. Can't score because his goaltender correct as an interest -- Paul -- and Craig cheek is the one you blame he's the when you hold responsible not. Thomas Thomas cost office.
