The 33-year-old veteran laughed when asked how coach Alain Vigneault decides who will start.
"I don't think there is a plan," he said. "I think A.V. decides on the way he feels."

Wonderful strategy. AV sucks.

He sure does , we'd have a cup now if it wasn't for him

What did he say?

I met him this summer...totally changed my opinion of him, great guy.
- Scooby_Doo

I never met him but my opinion changed when I saw those sweet dance moves in front of all the ladies. They were loving it.

No he has not. He had not asked for a trade. He said he would waive his No-movement clause if it was the best for the team and himself.

That is very different.

Yes he has. You know it, and so does everybody else in the hockey world.

He didn't need to ask for a trade - the writing was on the wall.

Can someone do me a favor and repost that video of Lu dancing? It's a classic.

Whitney looked terrified.

Morris went right after him - leads me to believe there was something personal going on.

Looks to me like Whitney initiated. Then realized he had made a huge mistake. Look at the 52 second mark.

No Game day blog, no post game blog...Ian must be busy!

I had to let him go. Blogging from Calgary made no sense plus I never forgave him for his 'Alberts is a boorish thug' blog from last season.

Exactly. It's too bad the referees stepped in so soon, he sure as hell wasn't going to get any help from Hemsky or Yakupov.

That's pretty funny. I remember when Kesler and Burrows used to fall like that. Raymond needs to drink more milk.

Forget milk, Raymond needs to take HGH, EPO and deer antler spray.

Meh, I thought Schroeder fell way more than Raymond. I actually noticed him not falling in situations where he normally would. I also saw Lapiere flipping around on the ice like a fish out of water a bunch.

How about we start a how many times Weise misses the net counter?

A bunch of counters we could start I guess. I just find the Raymond one funny because he's been doing it for years. Despite his better start I would trade him in an instant if an offer was made. I know the game will tighten up and he'll struggle on the outside again.

Lapierre's got a sore groin, I'll give him a slight pass because he looks like he can barely skate and probably would be sitting in the pressbox injured if we weren't missing Kesler. Schroeder looks like a 14 year old boy playing against men, every time he gets hit I cringe and wonder if he's going to get himself killed. Raymond actually is playing half-decent and looks like he's got jump again, if he can score 10-15 goals and 20-25 points in this shortened season, I'll be happy.

You sure? With a name like "Nail"? Maybe in his spare time he's a Tatar porn star.

I wasn't aware Derek Morris was much of a tough guy, but I went to hockeyfights.com after seeing that clip, and he doesn't seem to lose many fights.

I think Ian is dead.
