I've met him a few times and he's actually one of the nicest, friendliest hockey players I've ever met, but yeah, that doesn't win games.

Yep. I won't name any names, but I've also had the pleasure of serving many Toronto Raptors, both former and current and let's just say, some of their dates must have had terrific personalities.

I've had the pleasure of serving Clarkson at a restaurant I used to work at. He's a really nice and fun guy and a generous tipper. And his wife is absolutely beautiful.

I've been worried for a while that Carlyle isn't going to be a good fit for this team. He doesn't have the combination of size and skill that he had in Anaheim and honestly, I think overall this team boasts better skaters than he's ever coached (as a whole) and he has not been able to capitalize...

Will Ferrell's doing a media circuit as Ron Burgundy, so... yes and no, depending on what you're referring to.

Check out their centre depth. Report back to us.

Well, he's certainly not subtle about trying to get a reaction. Also, yeah the Leafs are noted poachers of talent. Not like Vancouver, who has drafted and developed their entire NHL team as well as their front office and coaching staff. Interestingly enough, Vancouver also invented hockey. The...

Don't know that you can say Phaneuf will be on the team for the next few years. Only one year left on his deal. Might be a good candidate to move, if anyone will bite.

Uh.... I think you should check the news.

I'm of the same mindset, my only fear is that now that Clarkson has the big bucks, he'll be less concerned with crushing dudes into the boards and more worried about trying to justify his contract by putting up points.

Given what's happening elsewhere in the market, he's probably worth about that. Guess we just don't deserve a #1 centre.

I don't love it, but I can understand why it happened. I just hope Nonis has something better than an overpaid Bozak up his sleeve. Got rid of one overpaid center, please don't replace him with another.

I think you have to though. Lecavalier's not taking less money just because he was bought out, that was the market price for a 33 year old, 60ish point centre. Sure, you can't compare Bozak and Lecavalier as players, due to the difference in playing style and age, but no one was offering...

I think people are really underrating Bernier here. Yes, he has limited experience. Yes, he's unproven. But he has a ton of potential. Like, top 5 goaltender potential. He was an amazing prospect, has played well in his limited opportunities and his biggest knock is that he was a victim of...

Replacing Bozak was always going to be difficult. But this trade has little bearing on that. Sure, the numbers may have gotten a little tighter, but it's still very early in the offseason, and Nonis has a few contracts that could potentially be moved in order to free up cap space (Liles...

MacArthur, Frattin and Komarov averaged about 14 minutes per game each. These guys were not used a lot. Replacing Bozak will be tricky, but those three? You can find grinders/reclamation projects in the AHL and in free agency. Hamilton and Colbourne are two guys that could probably come in and...

Bernier is 24 years old, was drafted 11th overall, and has played well when he's been afforded the opportunity - both in the NHL and the AHL. He's not starting because the guy in front of him won the Cup and the Conn Smythe last year, while finishing 2nd in Vezina voting. He is better than...

I don't think MLSE would pass up the chance to have Phil Jackson just because they let BC acquire Gay. I also don't think BC's a lock to stay, but given the time frame, he will likely start the season as GM at the very least. Can't imagine Leiweke will tolerate another losing team though.

I always thought he gave JFJ too much credit.

3rd period, they need to start winning battles for the puck in their own end. Frankly, McArthur's goal aside, they've looked very very bad. That they're still in this game is a testament to how much God hates the Habs.
