Pete Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I didn?t say it was fact, I said I believe it. Regardless of how much of an asshole he is, I don?t think he made it up. As far as the substance of choice, all I can guess is that he, like many others rehabbing an injury, could have got a bit hooked.People also believe the Earth is flat...

Giacomin Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I didn’t say it was fact, I said I believe it. Regardless of how much of an asshole he is, I don’t think he made it up. As far as the substance of choice, all I can guess is that he, like many others rehabbing an injury, could have got a bit hooked. Considering there was corroborating interviews and info given on NHL radio by people in the know, immediately following Trembley, certainly added to the validity. To boot, multiple hosts and guests then lambasted Trembley not because he is full of shit, but because he violated the policy of confidentiality and should have definitely known better, given he was in MGMT. Bottom line, listeners didn't walk away from 2 hours of discussion thinking maybe Galy is getting a bad rap, even though one may have thought Trembley was way out of line.

Pete Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Anyone in the interview say "opioids"? And of course they never really attack anyone's character when running them out of town in Montreal amirite? And of course a Google search brings up a ton of credible sources carrying same story...

Slobberknocker Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Ha, didn't realize "chopping wood" was such a safe practice. 'Shutting the saw' must be the equivalent of closing the porn window. Must be more careful with my wording, this place is a minefield. I'm modifying all my scouting reports, no longer will I say... he's a good stick handler plays like he's alone on the ice in hard situations he grips his stick too tight over manages the puck likes to dangle he's got soft hands gets pumped up quick wrister drops his gloves only to get beat isn't afraid to shoot clutcher and grabber will handle his business loves the wrap arounder holds onto it too long a real ball bruiser quick release gets greasy goals in dirty areas does his job plays hard solid in the clutch slippery in tight spaces the sydney crosby the morton downey (cause he's a jerkoff) washes the dishes Some original material for your entertainment. ha. i dont know if anyone on this board is old enough to know who morton downy is.

Giacomin Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 The scrutiny in Montreal seems over-the-top and only Toronto compares in that way. That whole day a side story was the problems with playing in Montreal and how Galy needed to get the hell out for his own good. As for more exact details, my contemporaneous posts will be much more accurate than my recollection some 6-8 months later. I don't find the search function very helpful for stuff that old, so I don't even try anymore. There was certainly discussion about pain killers. I don't remember words like heroin or Oxy's being used, so I used opiods, because I know they weren't referring to Ibuprofen at the time. Who knows what form or delivery mechanism. What was reported was that he went to rehab. Opioids and alcohol were the implied problems. I can't attest to the accuracy of Trembley or anyone else, but unfortunately it seemed believable based on everything I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomin Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 BTW, that week there were also conversations about trading Galy. I also brought that info here and that Montreal was finding no takers for Galy even at a significant discount. The team leaked to someone that they tried, or someone got it out of them. Thought at the time it was great reporting by someone on NHL radio. The result meant they were going to hold on to him. I personally went from a guy who was intrigued about bringing him here (given his usage in the playoffs), to someone who then told this forum we need to steer clear and not risk good assets on this player.
