The Tampa Bay Lightning and general manager Jay Feaster have parted ways, as the club has negotiated a settlement on the remaining three years of his contract. Feaster was hired by the Lightning in 1998 as assistant general manager to Jacques Demers and later to Rick Dudley. He was promoted to general manager in February of 2002. "For the past two weeks I have watched from the sidelines as Brian Lawton, Len Barrie and Oren Koules executed to perfection the game-plan they shared with us prior to the NHL Draft in Ottawa," said Feaster in a statement. "During that time it became apparent to me that this new ownership group did not need my advice or expertise, and I came to the conclusion that it was time to move on."

It's good that a man should know his limitations. Jay's got a nose of a hound dog and he can smells the gig's up. Better to retreat than to be retreated.

Is it just me or does Len Barrie look like a puffy Patrick Roy?

He also looks like he came to the meeting straight after an entire night of binging with a team coke-****.
