I was just talking about the difference between those two words.  I saw a restaurant that offered "complementary dinner" on you birthday.  We joked that after dinner, the waiter would bring a bill (because it was complementary, not complimentary), and tell us how good the dinner looked beside us.

Thanks for the link.  Works well.

I came here wondering the same thing.

It was nice hearing Joe Bowen doing the play-by-play the other night. Sportsnet and MLSE seem to be treating AHL as a major league.  Of course, it might be just because they are on the hook for Joe Bowen's salary.

A very well written article.  Thanks for posying this link.

Congrats to Rick St. Croix.

I am going to say Al Iafrate.  Can't put my finger on why, I just have this sense that he was a little bit crazy in his day, but, if one of my coworkers stole my wife, I might be too.

I don't know about qualifications, but he has been doing the job on Dougie's Kingston Frontenacs team, along with head coach Todd "No Skill" Gill.  http://www.kingstonfrontenacs.com/page/curtis-joseph

She already has more hair than Mats.

Congratulations Mats.

By then Dougie Gilmour will have learned the ropes in Kingston, done 3 years as assistant to Nonis, and will have pulled off a blockbuster trade that brought Crosby and Malkin to Toronto.  He is the obvious choice.

There is no debate.  He is the king.  He was the biggest draw for me in a game that included current NHLers Steve Downie, Matt belesky and Corey Perry, as well as Leaf alumni Gilmour, Mike Gartner, Shayne Corson, Darcy Tucker and others, as well as Ron McLean, Don Cherry, Kurt Browning, Alan...

Ten years after he retired? I guess that's all it is.  If that's the case, I feel for the guy.  Ten years of pain would be hard to live with.

It's fun, isn't it.  Thanks to Knobby for suggesting that we toast our Maple Leaf management.  And, to be honest, when I heard the Finger signing, I thought, not bad, about 800K/year for a depth guy.  Then, I realized, it was 3.5 per year for a guy I'd never heard of.

I beg to differ.  Explain this then: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvxitGgI1n8 or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG1F9kUDBHw

I saw Dougie play last night at Hockey Night in Barrie.  He was maybe the slowest guy on the ice, and Alan Thicke was playing. Does anyone know if Dougie has had any health issues?  He would sort of skate to the blue-line, and just sit there watching, hoping something would happen. I know guys...

No need.  Dallas Eakins. End of  discussion.  Now, for a toast to Dallas Eakins. To Dallas Eakins, You brought the Marlies to the Finals!  Huzzah;

Allow me to be the first.  To Brian Burke!  You didn't bring us the cup you promised, but you did bring us Komisarek and Connelly. Huzzah!

I did stop watching Baseball after 94, but that was because of how the strike happened.  I was a the Montreal Expos fan.  I had my tickets bought to go and see them play that August, and planned an October trip to see them in the World Series.  The strike took both of those dreams, and...
