If we go on strike for even one game I hope a new league forms

Sombody get Bobby Hull on the phone.

What a bargain

And people think Luongo has a bad contract.

Didn't they extend his contract?
- VANTEL

Yup, but let's hope that NHL Owners follow Burke's methods when negotiating management contracts.
Give a guy a big raise and numerous years then fire his ass a year later. That’s the NHL way.

A yr? It was like 8 weeks.

This is the last hurrah for this guy right? I mean, this will be Gary's 3rd or 4th lockout/work stoppage isn't it? At some point someone has to say 'enough is enough'.

As long as the owners keep improving their deal then they'll never vote Bettman off the island. conversely they'll probably start naming parts of the arenas in his honor.

Been there done that. Perhaps you don't recall the Gaylord Entertainment Center.

These parts?

You are right! It's even worse than I thought. How can that not be seen as a huge blunder on Burke's part?

Burke makes no blunders. He lives on candy mountain in a candy cave.

Funny, as I soon as I clicked submit those "parts" were exactly what I was thinking of. Well done sir.

Pretty sure that was named after Scott Howson.

Either him or Stan Bowman.

I'm not a huge fan of or OTR but yesterday I caught The Best Of OTR and they ran Schneider's 'Next Question' segment. Great stuff. Lots of impressions. Had me laughing out loud.

Take a look:

There is no way that offer could be on the table and not be taken.

Burke wants Kesler in the deal and is waiting for Gillis to fold.

Still wouldn't take that deal. I don't like kessel. He's just so goofy.

Perhaps. But I think this would be a fare value trade.

Rumor that Hockeyy Insiderr, the new king of rumors (seems to find at least 3 new ones daily), might actually be a 17 yr old kid from Quebec. I heard him call in on Incarcerated Bob's radio show and it was arguably the worst interview from all sides I've ever heard in the media.

Reality is that until a new CBA is in place it's best just to enjoy your vacation on the lake my friend.

Hockeyy Insiderr had a rumour yesterday Gretzky was in hospital for heart problem . It was a hoax . Paulina Greztky laid into him. Good for her.She basically called him a useless piece of crap.


Does anyone else think she would make a good head of the NHL. At least if she had bad news ,no one would mind listening.
