Good lord, I feel like I just walked into a Monty Python sketch in here

And I wasn't even expecting the Spanish Inquisition!

I see some of that in Simmonds. He's the only one on this team that I'd say that about. Maybe Timo.

To be fair, for as much heart and passion that Clarkie had, he was also surrounded by a lot of talent. And one pretty damn good goaltender. That helped.

Yep, another classic for sure. I always loved his take on air travel as well from back in the 70s. "I always loved getting high on the plane. You can get on and get off or you can get off and get on."

I hope he does. He is hilarious. His features just produce comedy. And the expressions on his face are golden.

No significance that I've heard of, other than making them funnier! As for Ollie, if he's seen them, I bet he laughed his a** off. I know I would have. One of my buds did one w my pic and sent it to me. I laughed for weeks!!

Couldn't the NHL find a better game than Pitt/Buf for the 7:30 time frame? I'd much rather see NYI/BOS or even CAR/CBJ. At least the second game is a very good one.

It has less to do with Pittsburgh and more to do with Buffalo. I don't feel like watching the Pens score 3 in the first then cruise to victory.

Although, I'm sure that sounds pretty good to you.

Good point! Why did the NHL make that whining baby, the face of the NHL?? Couldn't they have picked a player who's tough, intelligent, witty and articulate?

And as much as I hate Crosby, I will til my hat to Ray Shero as one of the top GM's in the league.

just a guess.

You'd think the league would like to plug some other superstars besides Ovechkin and Crosby at this point.

I wish the NHL would try to schedule good games when they will be nationally televised. As much as I lament the NBA, they always seem to have solid match ups on during their nationally televised games. They would never be showing Heat vs. Sixers on National TV.

if the islanders can get a few more pieces and become very good, JT should be getting loads of publicity.

Nothing cures better than a date with the Sabers.

Bill writes the Dallas blog too. He mentioned it in his Flyers blog yesterday that the Stars really took it to the Pens.
