• Comment on Gionta's season is over; Prust, White out for Game 5; Price listed as day-to-day
  I liked that point as well... that the on ice officials should review the play. He also raised another good one... there should be a former referee in the "war room in Toronto"!
• Comment on Draft week begins
  I'm in no way defending McGuire, but I think what Button & McGuire meant was that Mtl should trade 3rd & Subban for 1st AND another player... maybe one of Edmonton's young studs... I don't think for one second that he/they were suggesting 3rd and Subban for just Edmonton's 1st. Oh, and I hope they don't trade Subban!
• Comment on Audio: No suspension for Malone hit fuels plenty of debate
  If this was 5, 10 years ago, I would completely agree with you. But in the "new" NHL AND with MacArthur getting 2 games, Malone should have gotten some sort of suspension. As I said, in years past, not a suspendable hit, but nowadays, and especially since Shanny took over, definitely a suspendable hit. Then again, in years past, someone (not Gorges) on the Habs would have delivered retribution!

  lol I think you've hit the nail on the (perverbial) "head"!

  This is getting ridiculous! The NHL, Shanny, Bettman, whomever, are losing more and more creditibilty every day! I cannot for the life of me, understand how MacArthur was suspended and Malone was not! Its a freakin' joke. Abdelkader looked like he was shot when he was hit - he should have gotten a penalty for diving! I guess since it was against the Red Wings, Shanny HAD to hand out a suspension. I know that no two hits are "exactly" the same, but when one is clearly worse than another, at least the worst one should be suspended. I think the owners (& GMs) need to step in and do something. CONSISTENCY PEOPLE! Obviously the players have to be more responsible, but how can they know how to act/deliver a hit when they don't know if they're going to get suspended or not? Maybe that's it, maybe the league is working on taking hitting out the game completely! As I said, its a freakin' joke!
• Comment on Audio: Habs sign Cole, Budaj; Hamrlik, Halpern join Caps, Pouliot to Bruins, Auld to Senators
  Very happy with the Cole signing!!! Good to see some size on Montreal, to go along with Pac's size!

  Not sure I like the Budaj signing.... But not sure who else is left for a back-up either. Would like to see the Habs get Erik Cole and (no I'm not crazy) Simon Gagne! If he can stay healthy, think he'd do good in Montreal.
