• Comment on Habs deal Cole to Stars for Ryder
  Welcome back Michale Ryder! Now I won't have to worry about you making another phenomenal save against us in the playoffs! It's amazing how many people overlooked your value to the Bruins in their playoff run two years ago; while everybody remembers Tim Thomas, you were, in my opinion, the MVP in their first round, seven game win against us.
• Comment on Jagr to Dallas
  We shall see; it will be especially interesting to see where he plays and for how much money. Past performance is a poor indicator of future performance once they sign that huge contract. But the expectations of others - owners, coaches, teammates, and, of course, the fans become a heavy burden.
• Comment on Jagr to Dallas
  Has anyone noticed how Zach Parise's numbers over his first sevn years are eerily similar to those of Scott Gomez? Perhaps this is why he hasn't been signed yet. Caveat emptor.
• Comment on First Shootout of the season. and another L
  Actually Mr. Boone if we really want to see our team improve to the point where we can actually compete for the Cup, we need to Stop Occupying the Bell Centre. This ownership/management group will only respond to one thing -empty seats. And without any competition in the marketplace,due to their monopoliistic status in the NHL. Ever since they "supported" the relocation of the Nordiques to Colorado for the benefit of the league", this organiztion has no need, desire or motivation to actually commit the time, talent, and money to ensuring that we can compete for the Cup as long as we lemmings continue to fill the (Fill In The Sponsor's Name) Centre evry single night. Pathetic.We have become the Leafs.

  This is the best French immersion video I've ever seen...I'm still laughing even though I could only translate/understand 50% or the words... much better than that Rosetta Stone Foreign Language software...bring on some more of this especially after the draft weekend.

  merci, merci merci

• Comment on Habs silence spurred Robinson to Devils
  

  I'm waiting to see what happens in the next two weeks before passing judgment on this but the first question that came to mind was "How is it that Brian Burke can trade nothing for something (Phaneuf) and we seem to do the opposite?" Lars Ellers and Ian Schultz was the best we could get in return???

  Gauthier,Martin, Timmins...didn't we see this show already in Ottawa? And the result was a team that was conservative,consistent, close but never a champion.

  Maybe I've just passed judgment.

  Didn't Scotty Bowman follow a similar path in his career? And, furthermore, what AHLer amongst us wouldn't jump at the opportunity to move on up?

  Finally, Tampa has the perfect mix of youth,veterans, skill sets and,most importantly, realistic and achievable expectations, from its ownership, management, and fan base for a rookie coach to develop his "system".

  Good luck Guy Boucher - will ye no come back again?
