The three-part series Sherlock will be aired on PBS's Masterpiece Mystery, with the first episode starting this Sunday. I have never been a big fan of detective mysteries or the works of Sir AC Doyle. The series has already aired on the cable network channel Showcase in Canada. I watched and I thought it was great. The series brings Holmes into present day, complete with laptop computers and cell phones. The series has been picked up for a second season; they only did three episodes to begin, not knowing what was in the future. The way the third episode ends tells you that. Here's a couple of links, from PBS and Wikipedia that provide background on the series. If you have any interest, check it out. You might like it.

Vince McMahon should be the new Commissioner of the League.

So, did the League cave in due to mounting pressure from the other owners? There was that line about most of the other owners not wanting Phoenix to return to Winnipeg and, in spite of what Bettman / Daly say, there are no other buyers out there. I wonder what the "discount" sale price was. If it was done without leaving any of the insidious details, this whole story would make for a tremendous book. Just another page in the Bettman "legacy".

That is an "A" on Wisniewski's jersey, right? From Puck Daddy:

UPDATE: As expected, Avery gold after the game, via Steve Zipay:

"They (the NHL) won't do anything. Imagine if I did that? They'd send me to rehab."

A wise decision by a wise organization.

Did Brian Campbell teach John Scott his "move"?

Texting former teammates must take up most of Hossa's time.

For a team in such "alleged" financial turmoil, it's going to cost Chicago a pretty penny for the cardboard cutouts of former players to make that banner ceremony look decent.

This is the 85th season in Club history (84th played).
