I sense a -Me wanna do a new contract,in the very near future.

Posted Tuesday November 03, 2009, About: Ovechkin's injury downgraded

Exactly-Us,or should I say I,as sometimes I think I,m the only Flyer fan really love having Gagne and Briere out.

Posted Monday October 26, 2009, About: Why NHL didn't suspend Flyers captain

Being a lifelong Flyer fan,I will be the 1st to admit that there comes a sense of so called "bully" pride when it comes to donning a Flyer sweater.
Lupel and Hartnell never played as agressively for their former teams,as they do now.Remember Scottie Upshall-he played like he was 2 feet taller on the Flyers.
It scares me to think how much meaner Chris Pronger could get if he too becomes possessed by the "attitude" associated with the Flyers.
I am not saying that these guys are dirty-hell they took a lot of stupid penalties last year-just that they play with an edge.

Posted Saturday October 17, 2009, About: Bettman wants Gretzky back in NHL

This from the guy that checks out his sisters backside.

Posted Friday October 16, 2009, About: Bettman wants Gretzky back in NHL

Yea,and those guys would have trouble running the Special Olympics.

Posted Monday October 05, 2009, About: Avery may return soon

Same here.He was my last player chosen in fantasy pool and penalty minutes get you points.
I don't expect more than about 15-20 goals.

Posted Sunday September 27, 2009, About: NHL scouts drooling over Forsberg

Do not mistake "drooling" for vomiting.Undercooked meatballs presumely.

Posted Wednesday September 23, 2009, About: Did NHL fire ref for being pro-union?

Going to have to disagree with you.
For some reason,people/fans think that officiating in sports ha gotten worse over the years.
Reality check-It's the same now as it was then.The only difference with's today's officiating is that it is dictated by sports bettors.How many millions are wagered each Sunday on NFL football?
So if an official blows a call(shoot the guy for being human)everyone **** and presto,the league brings in video reviews.
I'm sorry but I'm old school.If an official blows a call for or against your team,live with it.If you can't afford to lose a bet,do't make it.
Officiating has never been the weak link in sports.The sad arse sore losing fans have been.

Posted Monday September 21, 2009, About: Gretzky getting paid while MIA

Lies.
Someone dresses him,and we all know that McSorley took care of his shyte,that included his farting.

Posted Friday September 18, 2009, About: Coyotes owner requests mediation

I think they're going to Hamilton.Look at the obvious sign from the picture-Molson Canadian beer.MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm.

Posted Tuesday September 08, 2009, About: Airline disputes affects NHL travel

Take out hydroplane and use watertubes instead,totally eliminating air travel.My mistake.

Posted Tuesday September 08, 2009, About: Airline disputes affects NHL travel

All NHL teams should be moved to cities along the great lakes.
All travel will be done by boat,hydroplane,waterski,etc..and then when the water freezes over,dogsled,skidoo,snowshoe or skate.The U.S. coastguard and a few Canadian fisherman could patrol the waters.

Posted Sunday September 06, 2009, About: Roenick slams NHLPA

This is the guy I hope CBC hires when Cherry does go.Brash and outspoken just like Cherry.
I think J.R. would go so far as to wear gaudy suits too for a laugh.

Posted Sunday September 06, 2009, About: NHL raises Coyotes relocation fee

OK.So what will the NHL do when guys like Balsillie say they'll pay it?
He already offered up the highest bid for the team.And why does Bettman look like he's practicing blowing in the picture?

Posted Sunday September 06, 2009, About: Heatley likely to stay with Senators

Even the LORD rested on the 7th day.T&R should do the same with this story.

Posted Thursday August 20, 2009, About: Balsillie: NHL accepts criminals as owners

Your point is valid.
Most hockey fans however(Canadians),probably wouldn't give a rats' ass about an owners motives as long as a team was put in any of the markets you mentioned.

Posted Monday August 10, 2009, About: Report: Why Kane helped beat cabbie

Yea,Flyer fan's can be sarcastic.

Posted Monday August 10, 2009, About: Report: Why Kane helped beat cabbie

Now now,we all now a Flyer would have flipped the bird,flipped over the cab,and probably pummeled the cabbie .

Posted Wednesday July 29, 2009, About: Canucks, Wellwood staying civil

Wellwood was going to raise his voice at the meeting but thought he might get a 2 minute penalty,so he refrained.

Posted Sunday June 14, 2009, About: Wings claim Crosby handshake snub

Some fans have to learn to be gracious in victory,others in defeat.Great series-kudos to the Pens.
This whole handshake snub story is baloney.Crosby's hands were too busy at the moment hoisting a cup.Draper seems to have forgotten about Chelios slight rather quickly.
About 100 days to the new season,can't wait.

Posted Sunday April 26, 2009, About: What if Celine Dion buys the Habs?

Not like she doesn't have the $$$$. I'm sure Habs fans hearts will go on with her at the helm.
