I hope they're smart enough to know that.

We have nothing to fear but Fehr himself.

But he did right by baseball.

If there is no season AGAIN...the sport is in serious trouble

41 game season. Starts with the Winter Classic in Detroit on New Year's Day. Everybody plays everybody else at least once, home and away. No All Star Game. Think about it.

I think he'll do fine. The art of compromise is not lost on him.

And all fantasy land trades are acceptable without repercussions against the cap

Hope so. The only losers in strikes, or lockouts are the fans. Would be unfortunate for this to happen again.

It's time for a new Commissioner. Bettman has run his course.

Do you get a dollar every time you reference his blogs?

no but i thought i'd get some quality thoughts about it

One per team.

I hate to see him five more years from now cause things arent changing anytime soon.

esp with that monster richards contract

The guy is a joke. He bickers with posters like he's 5 years old, but something tells me you know this already

Just curious. Where would you slot him if he were to join the Flyers today?

With Matt Carle
- MJL

Agreed. But these were the pairings last night according to Bill's blog yesterday.

Timonen - Coburn
Carle - Bourdon
Gustafsson - Meszaros

So if Carle is not re-signed in the off season, and we don't sign any other D men, is Schenn still on the 2nd pair?

Yup. 19 years now as NHL Commissioner. That's more than enough.

Agreed. But these were the pairings last night according to Bill's blog yesterday.

- rockychocbill

If they don't get any other D men next year, then I'd say yes, he is on the 2nd pair. But I would think they would make another move for the defense.

I'm still howling at that. Fan-freakin-tastic. Hilarious.
