Is this Yzerman's "plan" for trying to save some salary?

From Denver Post: Calm down, lad; you've got eighty-one more games to go!

There was the season that Detroit had seven different Captains...

Three little words, which I am sure have been bandied about by Uncle Gary, et al.: Class Action Lawsuit.

If he had a do-over, one appearance I'm sure he wished he hadn't made: Bar Rescue.

I wonder if he was looking for his son to send on the ice.

It's a good thing that Parros lost his balance as it makes this topic discussable.

I had Game One in the pool.

Retire his number...NOW!

TSN's OTR with Michael Landsberg is always right on top of the latest topics. Today, he had a a spirited debate between two former players all too familiar with the subject: Lyndon Byers and Jim Thompson.

Andrew Ference? Great choice? He's come soooo far!

Q How do the on-ice officials keep up with all these new rule changes? A: They don't.

http://www.cbc.ca/player/Sports/CBC%27s+Hockey+Night+in+Canada/Coach%27s+Corner/ID/2409815964/ I knew I could count on Mr. Cherry to present valid points regarding this rule change.

From NHL:

Feaster will have to buy the team to keep his job.

Fun Fact: Jim Hughson was the play-by-play voice of EA Sports NHL series from 1997 to 2009.

That's the least of Ottawa's problems; they're bleeding money and nobody knows how to apply a tourniquet. Out west, things will go much smoother in Calgary once Burke becomes GM.

Observation: Three games, two being covered by free national television in Canada. Why doesn't Uncle Gary smarten up and schedule just one game to start the season and show it on a true national television network and get everyone's hockey juices flowing at the same time? I'm not talking about this community cable station NBCSN. It could be alternated between the two major networks each season. Other sports have done this with great success. My choice: the divisional match-up of Eastern Conference teams. I want to see what Mr. D.S. Cherry has to say about the meaning of life...and that hybrid icing thingy that everyone is talking about but no one knows what the hell it is.

Is this the largest contract ever signed by an enforcer?

As is so often the case, the new rule will not be the problem. The problem will be having competent on-ice officials making the call correctly.

Ah, it's a good time be be an admirer of The Beatles; the first of Mark Lewisohn's literary trilogy The Beatles: All These Years, Volume One: Tune In is released on 29/10 (a hefty little bugger at that) and On Air - Live at the BBC Volume 2 arriving on 11/11. So: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjNYIKQ_dCQ "Bad Boy" - Larry Williams.

Neither Yzerman nor Nill was all over this? Interesting.
