    The Trade at 25.

    It's hard to believe that it's been twenty-five years! Starting this Monday, TSN will devote the week to "SportsCentre Presents: The Trade at 25". The link leads you to the upcoming programming, with an overview of what's in store on each day. This was easily one of the biggest NHL stories to ever happen. It changed the landscape, from both the player's and the owner's view, the way the "business" is run, for better or worse. Have your Kleenex ready.

    The Trade at 25.

    Twenty-five years ago today: This was to be expected from the Toronto Sun.

    The Trade at 25.

    The fact that the other owners hated Bruce McNall following the negotiation of Gretzky's first contract in Los Angeles is funny.

    NHL to takeover of NJ around the corner?

    Follow Rich Chere‏@Ledger_NJDevils Bettman: "if the suggestion is we're going to take over the Devils, it's not accurate." Even though Uncle Gary is qualified for the job; he's playing coy.

    Shawn Burr has passed away per Bill Roose

    All I ever had to know about Mr. Burr: when he first joined the Club, Sergei Fedorov roomed with Shawn, who told him the best way to learn how to speak English was to watch cartoons on television.

    Only thirteen? Interesting. Of course, this only deals with one "supplier". A-Nob was given a "warm" reception in Chicago. Couldn't happen to a nicer "team player". Of the "Dirty 13", maybe the funniest story deals with Nelson Cruz. He accepts the suspension at a time when he is arguably Texas' top player, a team thick in the pennant race. Why did he choose this route? Next year, he's a free agent; the team be damned. Jersey burnings to follow?

    On it's thirtieth anniversary, the bizarre story of David Mark Winfield, a ball and a bird.

    ESPN, where the motto is: "We no hockey".

    No other sport "negotiates" with it's members who are alleged to be guilty of using a banned substance.

    ESPN/Sportscenter gives the NHL 2.7% of its time

    What's most impressive to me is that Patrick Burns chose to waste an entire year watching SportsCenter. I'd rather watch SportsCentre.

    Again, this is at "arms length".

    New NHL divisions, names, and playoff format

    Uncle Gary sure screwed this up. Another line for his "legacy" in Wikipedia.

    This always happens in non-lockout seasons.

    Pierre McGuire's past that NBC doesn't want you to know about

    McGuire has gone from nobody paying attention to what he says to everybody paying attention to what he says. The "hate" part is just the jelly that comes with the head cheese.

    Happy Thirtieth Anniversary! Proof positive that sometimes a rule book means nothing.

    Rule 48: not working as planned.

    Did Shanahan screw this job up on his own or was he "coached"?

    About the same height as Uncle Gary.

    NHL Participation at Sochi cleared by IIHF

    They're going to have names for the different groups of teams at Sochi? Interesting.
