“I saw the photos.Every woman should want a man to look at her like Julian looked at this mystery woman.I couldn’t find her name mentioned on any of the social media or news sites that covered the event.”

“Couldn’t find it either.She and Anders Blais’s now fiancée were happily helping with the silent auction while their men shone bright in the spotlight.A very different picture from last year when you-know-who had to be in the spotlight.”

“Speaking of you-know-who, I wonder what Gold Digging Emily has to say.I’ve heard she is going on My Side podcast to tell her ‘side of the story.’”

“What is there to tell?We all know what she did.She had a very public affair with a former teammate of Julian’s.She’s only going on that podcast because if I had to guess, Payton broke up with her.”

“You saw that too?For anyone who didn’t see Payton’s IG stories, he was back in Texas with his family, and there were no photos with Emily.The other reason Emily is going on the podcast is because there are rumors that Toronto is willing to pay Julian forty million for two years.She’s going to be desperate to get him back.”

“That coupled with the fact that Julian never looked at Emily the way he looked at his mystery woman.Emily has got to be pissed.I wish Julian and his new girl all the best, and they are welcome on this podcast to tell their side of the story any time they want.Now, let’s talk some hockey.There are five weeks until the All-Star break, which means we are talking trade deadlines.”

“Before we get into that, Trace, what was dinner like at your house after Matt’s comment about the only reason Julian is still around is to sell jerseys to the women?”
