    Blackhawks fire coach Savard

    They did just sign Queneville in the off-season.

    Looking ahead... and the re-signing of Hossa

    I have seen a few things, recently, that this offseason the cap may go down, which would make it interesting to see how teams handle that.

    10/13 GDT: Red Wings 3, Hurricanes 1

    I could go back and look, but I think Mickey said that is beautiful country up there. Sort of like saying that area is beautiful. By the way, anyone a little annoyed by those FSD graphics. A lot of moving around and noisy. They sort of distract you, while you are trying to pay attention to the game.

    Kings claim Quincey

    Obviously. He covers two depth spots with one player. In the cap age, that is invaluable.

    Kings claim Quincey

    It was supposedly noon, today, but there is no official word.

    Thoughts on last night's game...

    How was that a boring game? There was a lot of end-to-end action.

    Thoughts on last night's game...

    Very few, if any, players have Datsyuk's play making abilities, but Flip can hold his own. He spends practices with Datsyuk learning all his tricks.

    Thoughts on last night's game...

    I think Filppula set up Franzen pretty well last year, when they and Sammy played on a line. The only question mark about Filppula is his tendency to pass up a shot, but if you put Franzen and Hossa on a line with him, he won't have to worry about shooting.

    Very cool panoramic shot from the Joe on opening night

    There was a lot of Pens' fans at the Joe, during the finals, because someone leaked a pre-sale password and a Pens' message board picked it up.

    Opening Ceremony

    I think the NHL did a simulcast on CBC and Versus for the intro.

    Hockey Books

    Oh, yeah. Gods of Olympia was good, too.

    Regner Back on the Air? WTF?

    He got let go from WXYT, but soon found himself on WDFN, where I think he was originally.

    HOSSA on cover of Sports Illustrated

    Maltby was on the cover one of the years Detroit one it, I think 98. So, no jinx.

    Red Wings goaltending future

    Howard is farther along in his development than Larsson and McCollum. Also, Conklin was signed to a one year deal. They wanted veteran insurance, to keep the window open, to get Stanley Cup number 12. I know it isn't a gaurantee, Howard has to earn it, but Holland has said that Howard will be the back-up next year. I will have to see if I can find where that was posted.

    Hockey Books

    I recommend this book, too. I also liked "What it Means to be a Red Wing" Bud Lynch's "My Life: From Normandy to Hockeytown" is okay. I was hoping it would have more stories about the game, but it is still a good read.

    2.5 million.

    Why Maltby?

    Another plus for Maltby is that, beyond last year, he consistently plays all 82 games. Durability and reliability go a long way.

    NHL Network

    I believe that it should be available on the standard definition channel, too. Some channels show different programs in HD, but it is rare. The wording makes it should like the games are available in HD, if you have it. I am in the same boat with Comcast. I don't know how long it will be until they get the HD version, but I can't wait. It took them awhile just to get the SD channel.

    Deja Vu? Balsillie buying Preds: Report

    I am wondering if a team in Hamilton would not only affect the Toronto market but also Detroit and Buffalo.
