The Battle of Ontario: Always good for a laugh
Posted: Thu Oct 26, 2006 7:20 pm
Chris Neil and Brian McGrattan fired their own verbal shots in the direction of Wade Belak this morning.
While they wanted to stay away from the trash talking, Neil and McGrattan didn't like being labelled "idiots" by the Leafs defenceman.
"That's a pretty big word for him (Belak). Somebody must have told it to him," said Neil . "I just look at where it's coming from."
McGrattan laughed it off.
"The guys with the biggest mouths usually can't back it up," said McGrattan. "He can call us what he wants. All I know is me and Neiler, we can back it up."
For his part, Darcy Tucker accused the Ottawa media of being homers. "The writers in Ottawa obviously love their team," said Tucker. "I wish it was that way in Toronto sometimes. There, they are more even-keeled."
lmao Yeah, the Toronto media is even-keeled.
I'll tell ya. I would love for both teams to not make the playoffs. Then you'll see the homerism...as they run you out of town on a rail.
I'm gonna watch this game. There's sure to be some fireworks. I loathe Ottawa, but McGrattan is as tough as they come. I'd love to see him rag doll Belak.
