I have a really funny story about Lou actually that I never think of. I just thought of it. So I will share.

So I used to work at MLSE, and I was talking with one of the head office guys from TFC at the beginning of this season about how Lou is a genius.

He told me he believed that Lou really solidified his legacy in New Jersey ( this guy is from there ) and if he could do half as good a job here as he did there, Toronto would be well off.

So Lou comes into the office his first day of work as Leafs GM.

Everything is normal for him. He starts talking on the phone, emailing the whole 9 yards. Then he calls down to his assistant “can I have a completely secured phone/fax line installed in my office please? I need it done tomorrow”

The assistant has no idea what he means.

So they ask him what he means, and he says in New Jersey, he always had a secured phone/fax line so that no one could tap his line and get all the info. They say ok, and look around at companies to see if they can find something....nothing.

So after a day of calling around they don’t find anything about a secured fax/phone line that isn’t tapable.

So they call New Jersey! And say hey where did you guys get this secured fax/phone line for Lou he has been bragging about for the past day and a half?

And they patch them through to his old assistant, they answer with.

Oh we just switched his phone line from Blue to Red and told him it was encrypted, and he was ok with it.

Maybe the best story I’ve heard about Lou in my life.

So now he thinks he has an encrypted line in Toronto, because it’s just a red phone cord. Brilliant
