    Hartsburg Fired

    I laughed last season at the way Ottawa "handled" the Emery fiasco; Murray could have stood up for HC John Paddock, but instead they fired him.

    That was the rumour right after the end of the U20 World Juniors, with Bob Nicholson taking over as GM.

    I remember an article that was in the Toronto "Star" years ago about Burr. When Fedorov first came to the DRW, he was assigned to room with Shawn on the road. He was just starting to learn a new language and was given this advice by Burr: Watch as many cartoons as possible on TV.

    R. Lang bad injury

    1912-13 My grandmother's (on my mother's side) uncle was EC Lalonde. The good news: they will soon be marked at shop nhl dot com.

    All dressed up, nowhere to go.

    From the "Gazette" article: When someone suggested that Kovalev seems to pick up his game when Saku Koivu is injured and Kovalev assumes the captain’s role, Carbonneau said: “I hope that’s not the truth. Because then we’re in trouble because I’m not taking the C off Saku. If somebody needs a letter to perform well on the ice, I have a tough time with that. Alex is a professional. He’s not a rookie. Right now, he’s struggling, but we need him if we hope to go far.” When asked what aspects of Kovalev’s performance were found lacking, Carbonneau said: “That’s between him and me.”

    Agreed. I think his clock is in countdown mode and "The Curse of Brian Murray" shall live on.

    It's another one of the "throwback" jerseys honouring the 100th anniversary of the Canadiens. There is at least one more coming. The story behind: The barber pole sweater

    Osgood has worst save percentage in the league

    If this was April 1 and not February 1, I'd say that this thread was started by Tim Cheveldae.

    Should we start rooting for Florida to tank?

    Yes, thanks to Detroit. Saturday, December 2, 1995. 11-1, the final.

    Osgood has worst save percentage in the league

    As a Club... After 49 games: Club average goals allowed per game is 2.94 per game, ranking 35th (of a possible 65 seasons), highest since 1960 and highest in this decade. Club average goals scored per game is 3.65 per game, ranking 9th (of a possible 65 seasons), highest since 1995 and highest in this decade.

    They all love ... Detroit?

    But if they don't, we can trace it to this time and date. "If it ain't broke, ..." Great article and great avatar!
