2. Lebrun reports something totally false (what does anyone have to gain from that lie?). CSEC's directory got hacked or something and they forgot how to contact local media for several weeks (and/or no local media inquire about the story)...and then eventually super CREDIBLE not-at-all-a-sycophant Eric Francis sets the record straight.
My money would be on a version a lot closer to #1...plenty of rumours of Murray being emotional/petty about other things in the past (e.g. Gaudreau)

Ya that’s fair. I just didn’t like the piling on attitude and narrative that was out there on many fronts in regards to the flames etc. In the end. Brad got a good job and we got a GM who deserves a shot I think.
