    First Stanley Cup ring sold for $60,000

    The Montreal AAA, the winners of the Stanley Cup in 1893, was the origin and inspiration for the only logo ever used by the DRW. From wikipedia dot com: Montreal AAA. James E. Norris.

    will wings retire fedorov's 91?

    They paid him 4-million dollars just for this season in Washington? Out-ray-jus. In answer to the original question: no. There are other more deserving players who should get this honour before him.

    Randy Carlyle already working officials

    How did Hitchcock make out with his whining? Carlyle must already be thinking about how his penalty-kill units are going to be exhausted in a very, very short time.

    From Chris Zelkovich's blog in todays Toronto Star: "The countdown to J-Day (when the first Jays game is scheduled for TSN2) is now 21 days and counting. Adding to the drama is the fact that Friday's Anaheim-Detroit playoff game is on TSN2, meaning Rogers subscribers won't be able to watch it. At least there won't be a string of complaints about Friday's Anaheim-Detroit game being on TSN2 after TSN and CBC made a last-minute deal to move the game to the public network. While a deal will surely probably get done by then, this whole stalemate between Rogers and TSN has been a bit of a mystery. One thing is for sure: It's not about the asking price for TSN2. According to sources, TSN is asking Rogers to pay less than 30 cents a month per subscriber. TSN, by comparison, gets more than $1 a month. Even for a channel that shows a lot or reruns, 30 cents doesn't sound that outrageous..."

    Phoenix Coyotes -- Worst organization in sports

    The original article, with numbers, as published in the Arizona Republic. My favourite "Post a Comment": "The Coyotes sucked when they were in Canada and were bought and brought here really cheap." The last season they played in Winnipeg was 1995-96.

    Anaheim Preview

    On yesterday's edition of TSN's "Molson That's Hockey", Gino Reda interviewed with Coach Babcock. Reda stated that statistics show that Hudler was the best "fourteen minute" player in the league this season and, along with Holmstrom, is the best "fourteen minute" player in the first round of the playoffs. Reda asked the question "Is there any chance he could become the best "eighteen minute" player? Coach Babcock's answer: "Yes, if he goes to another team". He followed this to explain how Hudler, like everyone else with the DRW, is part of the "system" and is used where he is most effective. Coach Babcock is a very wise man.

    Getzlaf vs. Thornton

    I don't think so. From: "Staged" fights. "The GMs and League personnel are proposing a stiffer penalty for so-called "staged" fights and a more aggressive approach to calling the instigator penalty. They also tabled the topic of how to make fighting safer until their June meeting at the Stanley Cup Final so more data could be accumulated." "Any rule change has to pass through the Competition Committee and the Board of Governors before it can be imposed."

    Thomas. Mason is lucky the voting was done before the playoffs.

    Brashear's antics on Sunday (suspension coming)

    It seems like a proper call by the League. But, he'll have to serve the remaining five games of his suspension to start next season. That's right; I'm calling the Rangers in Game Seven. I saw this in a dream. Problem is that Ed Giacomin was playing in goal. I need more sleep. I mean, more quality sleep.

    Dan O'Hallaran aids the Wings for once!

    Taken from Michael Arace. Michael Peca: "The linesman has to recognize that the guys with the armbands have put away the whistles, and they were letting us play, as they should," forward Michael Peca said. "You don't put a game like this on the line for that call." Note to M. Peca: The Linesmen are responsible for making calls too. If you have any doubt that the cheating won't work, then don't try it.

    WCQF GAME 4 GDT: Red Wings 6 at Blue Jackets 5

    For the want of an extra player, a game was lost. For the want of an extra player, a series was lost. For the want of an extra player, a season was lost. In the end, the last cheater got caught.
