He definitely has a rep among players for his Machiavellian tendencies.

More or less, but with eyes that open all the way and a less sultry personality.

Current: "Let's bring him back!"
After signing: "Terrible signing, just bringing back old Flyers."

90% success rate, ehhhhhh? hmmmmm.........
- hammarby31

define success...from the same article.

"Luckily for the public, the likelihood of catching a perpetrator who robs a bank is actually much higher than it is for other types of crimes tracked by the federal government. One reason for this is that bank crimes are usually reported much more quickly than other types of crimes. Bank robberies also mostly occur during the day, and involve several witnesses that are then later able to more accurately identify suspects. Because of this, a sizable portion of bank criminals are actually caught within 24 hours of committing their crimes, while the clearance rate for bank robberies (meaning, the number of cases that ultimately result in a charge being filed) hovers at nearly 60 percent."

My favorite bank robbery was the guy who set up a fake job interview of craigslist. He put out a job opening for manual labor or some such work, and asked all prospective employees to come to some location right next tot he bank wearing a white T-shirt and blue denim jeans. He robbed the bank in a white T-shirt and blue denim jeans, and then hopped in a nearby boat (no details on what kind of boat) and got away.

I didn't get the details exactly right, but the gist of it was right. Here it is:

http://www.cnet.com/news/...on-craigslist-fools-cops/

"on Tuesday, the robber, wearing a yellow vest, safety goggles, a blue shirt, and a respirator mask went over to a guard who was overseeing the unloading of cash to the bank from the truck. He sprayed the guard with pepper spray, grabbed his bag of money, and fled the scene.

But here's the hilarious twist. The robber had previously put out a Craigslist ad for road maintenance workers, promising wages of $28.50 per hour. Recruits were asked to wait near the Bank of America right around the time of the robbery--wearing yellow vests, safety goggles, a respirator mask, and preferably a blue shirt. At least a dozen of them showed up after responding to the Craigslist ad."

...

Authorities eventually found the getaway inner tube (a getaway inner tube!) and suspect that accomplices may have picked up the robber in a boat. According to the NBC affiliate, police hope to track him down by figuring out who posted the Craigslist ad in the first place.

This is just fantastic.

Two full years prior to it being a remote possibility, the "Stamkos to Toronto because he's from Ontario" rumors have begun.
