Chassé Scouts Leafs

Chassé scouting Leafs? September 28-09

It was a desperate Eddy Chassé, (aka "La Gros Tete") TNHL commissioner and avowed Leaf hater who attended the final game at Maple Leaf Gardens on Saturday night, desperate to find recruits for his Tuesday Night League.

"Just don't tell my friends in Montreal I was here."

But why were you in attendance Mr. Chase?

"I'm looking for a little veteran help if you know what I mean."

Chassé has been dealing with severe "veteran apathy" during the month of September and felt compelled to do something about it.

"I'm not looking for a lot of talent, just some guys that are willing to make the week to week commitment."

Though rumoured to have offered a one way contract to both Jason Alison and rookie Kadri, the commissioner was apparently turned down.

"Hey we didn't need that Kadri's speed and positive attitude anyway. But Alison, I think he might be ready."

Chasse's search for committed veterans continues. The final game of the exhibition season goes tonight at the McCormick Ice Palace.

The Night Michael Kohn Paid Up

McCormick Arena was abuzz last night with news of an imminent cash transaction.

"Kohn's going to pay?"

"He's got money?"

"What about his kids?"

As Michael entered the veteran's dressing room, a strange hush fell over those gathered.

"I've never seen Kohn pay this early before, is everything okay?" remarked George Maclaren.

"Perhaps that concussion hasn't worn off" added Ringer Boy Bugden.

Kohn has been a cause for concern ever since experiencing a slight cranial re-adjustment during summer league play.

"You don't think his concussion has made him forget his frugal ways?"

Chasse quickly put an end to the speculation: "hey guys, maybe Mike just wants to play. Have you ever thought of that?"

Seems the veteran Lost Boy is ready to make his earliest commitment ever in his long TNH career. Could this possibly be a harbinger of things to come? Would other veterans follow suit?

"I can only hope" remarked Commissioner Chasse as he carefully counted Michael's wad.

Tuesday Night Hockey has been plagued this year by a record number of veteran no-shows in the early going. The situation is so desperate that Chasse had to bring McGee out of retirement.

"Look at him over there. It makes me want a cry. Why if he can make it out..."

Indeed Ed, why not. Especially since the exhibition season is 75% over and there are still positions wide open. Particulary the ones on the bench.

Maybe next week huh Ed?

"Maybe. And I hope they bring their chequebooks."

Exhibition season concludes next Tuesday. Regular season starts on Oct. 6th.
