He was an assistant in Atlanta for four years and they made the playoffs once. Before that, he was in Calgary for two and a half years . . . and they missed the playoffs both of his full seasons. Just sayin'. . . . I'm hoping Sasaktoonian Babs read further on McCrimmon's resume than "Saskatoon Blades head coach, 1999-2000" before offering him the job.

I think the Wiki people should know that Dan is the first mentally handicapped official in NHL history. They should also note that he loves his family, including sons "Adolf Hitler O'Halloran" and "Osama Saddam O'Halloran"

HA! This stuff is gold, Jerry!!! You didn't post the rest of the crap, but it's hilarious!!! Was it written by Pen's coach "Mike Terrion" (as ESPN calls him)? And WTF is this further down???? "Because they don't respect the Stars." What does this even mean? Anyone? Bueller?

Each team in winning conference should get $3 million added to their cap. That would ensure less of this 12-11 crap.

Great. Now start negotiating with Hudler.

What happens if he does and then somebody s***ty like the Florida Panthers want him to be their GM after next year? I don't think he takes that job, but what if????? Canada can't lose on home ice. The Soviets finish second and the Swedes win the bronze against the Czech Republic. The US will finish seventh after beating Latvia, but trash their hotel rooms for old time's sake....

Mason played two games, back to back on the road in Edmonton and Calgary, got to take the elbow-rubbing weekend off, and now rested, takes on the Wings sans Lidsttrom and Datsyuk. f*** you, Gary Bettman. 4-1 Wings. The Wings fire 45 shots, Hossa gets three goals and the team starts a 12-game winning streak. EDIT: I also like to mention I enjoy imagining ESAD and esteef's slow burn upon reading these and realizing our leading penalty guy has less PIMs than games.

Of course, they do this the year AFTER Jagr goes to Europe...

Luckily for the Wings this year, any of those players who would possibly be eligible for that game have been sitting in Grand Rapids all season.

Really? There goes Sindy, Nick and Pavel's chances of ever fulfilling their life-long dreams of signing with the Maple Leafs. Every time Burke opens his yap, something unclassy and uncalled-for spews out.

You're right, the only people who like hockey like it for the knuckle-draggers like Klotz.

With the allegedly "injured" and "excused from the Young Stars game" Steve Mason in net, Columbus is getting their ass kicked Jan. 27. 8-0. I'm actually kind of glad these guys get an extra game off at this time of year, but I just wish it wasn't league-imposed.

Sharks of right now are playing like the Wings did in the playoffs... in a way, I wonder if they'll bust it too hard in the regular season and flop in the playoffs. They certainly have the potential to be a great team in the playoffs. Here's a couple of pieces on MacLellan's teams playing more Wing-like than the SJ chatboards may lead you to believe. http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/story/10863404/rss http://www.usatoday.com/sports/hockey/2008...023517845_x.htm http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?.../SPTB158D5L.DTL

http://blog.dallasstars.com/ Found it kind of odd that the Wings haven't traded with Dallas in almost 26 years. Lou Nanne fleeced us by getting futures for Solheim. EDIT: block out quote

It would go completely against the character of Z AND Lids to NOT take the hometown discount, given how the leaders before them were faced with the exact same situation and chose to play in Detroit and take a half-mil less rather than make stupid-high money in a hockey s***hole like Nashville, Carolina or Tampa. Ultimately, I appreciate Z for taking his time on the length and figures on the contract. He wants to make sure he's happy and comfortable wearing red and white - and then he can start playing his ass off again just like he did when the negotiations weren't weighing him down.

I'd rather have a proven winner.

Nogood's right. Trade Zetterberg for a bag of pucks while he still has value and before he signs for $9 million... whereever someone has cap room. Wait, who has cap room in the league again?

Yeah, but I lol'd. Kenny probably tried to get him but he couldn't get him under the cap unless we waived Kopecky.

Drop that useless Conkiln, pick up Gerber and trade Lidstrom for Luongo.

Do you often go to other teams' fans' message boards for validation?

And if any state knows how to diss MLK, it's AZ...

Maybe he'll be able to fulfill his lifelong dream of being general manager of the Maple Leafs.

At least the Sharks are losing right now, too.

MAKE IT HAPPEN, KENNY!!!!

I'd love to see Hordichuk piss-pound him, but I doubt he'll actually fight.
