Recent earthquakesThat would be better than a half-assed corporate letter of mea culpa!
I’m sorry… I see what they are trying to do, but like their February swoon, they come up miserably short.
Don’t want to even think about hockey until next year.

… but here are my fearless predictions:
Rangers in 5. Sens aren’t in the same league… well, they are, but not, figuratively… goaltending will choke for the Schmens. Losing Neil for this series will hurt big time…Spezza will get arrested outside Madison Square for solicitation.
LA in 7 – upset of the playoffs – but aren’t we used to the CanYucks choking year after year? And yes, there will be riots.
Bruins in 6. I hate both teams so maybe they’ll both be eliminated! Sigh. if ONLY that were possible…Tim Thomas will retain his sense of stupidity. Chara will still be the 2nd ugliest guy in the – right after Ovie…
I think the Blues are the real deal. Best goaltending in the league… and that wins Cups…they’ll take this series in 5. San Jose is useless in the playoffs.
Yawn… Joisey in 5. Who cares?
The surprising Coyotes will take the Hawks in 5. Phoenix may go deep… look for a Coyotes/Blues series to produce the Cup winner.
Bad blood here. Can Sid the whiner stay healthy. How about Malkin, the other whiner? Pens in 7. maybe. Look for lots of fights. Blowhard Cherry will be happy.
NEVER COUNT OUT THE WINGS!!!! NEVER! They’ll take it in 6.

…as I do morons like Pierre Polievre, Vic Toews and Dean Del Mastro… but his rant on Brian Burke (GM of the Leafs for those of you not-so-enlightened) was dead on the mark.
Leaf Nation has for a while bemoaned the lack of Canadian content on the team, and more specifically, Ontario talent. Now, I’m not going anti-American or anything, but it is quite strange that there is not one player on Canada’s team who is from Ontario!
Boy, if the Habs didn’t have a single Québécois on the squad, they would be separatists marching up and down St. Catherine Street demanding blood!
Man! It physically HURTS to agree with the buffoon!
But hey! The Buds beat the Habs last night and the Gunners downed Liverpool… so this weekend has been pretty fine thus far!

… about Tim Thomas being an idiot.
I don’t usually copy and paste an entire text, but this letter by former Chicago Bear Tim Wrightman is an example of how Thomas should have handled the Obama invitation.
Class. 100% Pure class.
I hope someone shows this to the Bruin Goalie…
Wrightman puts politics aside for White House reunion
“I mean, did you really think it was appropriate for Marlon Brando to not accept the Oscar? I can differentiate between celebrating our team, the President and the Institution of the Presidency. Of course I played on the ‘smart side’ of the line of scrimmage. This is the Bears’ once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that has been given a second chance. Some people don’t realize our initial trip in 1986 was canceled because of the Challenger space shuttle accident. I think it was a classy thing for Obama to right the misfortune of our team. Besides, the White House is not President Obama’s house, it’s the people’s house.
“Some of my more notable teammates have stated various reasons they will not attend…and they have every right to have their own opinion and reasons for not going. ‘I’m not going because they didn’t invite our wives…’ Well, would you take the wife you had when we won or the newest one? ‘It was 25 years ago, let it go…’ Will you stop doing car commercials that say you were a Super Bowl Champ? And so what if it was 25 years ago …If winning the Super Bowl is so easy, how come the Bears haven’t won since?
“Further, I’m not so arrogant to think that by going to the White House people are going to believe I endorse the President. Nor do I believe my invitation will cause people to vote for President Obama just because I visited the White House. This is a great opportunity for me to see my fellow teammates one more time and as a conservative I never take myself out of the game. I always want an opportunity to discuss and to debate my positions. You never know whose mind you might change and decisions you may influence. Being together as a team and a country is the only way we can get through our current predicament… GO BEARS!”

Idiot.
Tim Thomas, that is. What a complete moron. Typical Bruin.
C’mon. even given my political leanings, I sure as hell wouldn’t decline the honour of a visit to the White House – even during Dubya’s tenure… doncha love dogmatism?

… during my vacation. But I had to comment on this.
Quebec nationalists want the Habs to be more “French”. Gimme a break. Why don’t you look at the standings and figure out a way to win a few more games!
Look, I hate the Habs just as much as the next guy, but I do feel a little sorry for the majority of the fans who think that this whole Anglo-speaking coach thing is a bunch of merde…
What this does tell me is that the nationalists are getting desperate and are looking for press wherever they can find it…

Stay classy, Quebec nationalists, stay classy…
Maybe they should worry more about winning a few hockey games.
Geoff Molson, owner of the Montreal Canadiens, released a statement Monday afternoon saying that the ability to speak French is important to coaching the Montreal Canadiens.
“Although our main priority remains to win hockey games and to keep improving as a team, it is obvious that the ability for the head coach to express himself in both French and English will be a very important factor in the selection of the permanent head coach,” said Molson in the statement.
He also said that the head coach position will be “revaluated” at the end of the season.
Molson’s statement comes after criticism from Quebecers who say the new interim head coach, Randy Cunneyworth, is a poor choice for the job because he doesn’t speak French.

… not a frickin’ chance!
So Big Don says sorry for calling a few ex-NHLers “pukes”… big whoop! And now commentators and Tweets and
Letters to the Editor are all a-gummy about this! “Takes a big man to say sorry” “Cherry eats humble pie” – this crap is everywhere!
Well, NO! I’m sorry, but it does not take a big man to apologise. Nothing big or heroic about it. Apologies should be made when needed. If I wrong someone, I’m not going to go around with my chest pumped out touting what a brave act I just performed. We say sorry when we screw up and want to acknowledge the screw-up… it is the “right” thing to do… not the “big” thing to do.
Plus, and maybe this is the “black helicopter” side of me talking, but didn’t this whole sham stink a bit too much? Think about it. Guys like Cherry need to have attention focused on them at all times; kinda like my 4 year old. And he hadn’t been in the spotlight for a while… begging the question: was this whole farcical act contrived?
Yeah… I know, black helicopters… but ya have to admit that it does make a bit of sense.
Thanks to Montreal Simon for the image…

From Ken Gray’s blog…
Facebook friend Jean-Pierre Allard commented on my blog post Don Cherry Must Go Because of Latest Outrage. To read the post with the original and infamous Don Cherry Coach’s Corner segment on hockey violence, click here:
“Not sure our otherwise fine country could ever recover (without Cherry) as there will be no more violence in hockey, no more hatred for anything that’s not PURE K-TOWN, no more shameful plugs for becoming a senator via suffocating rah-rahring of our troops, no more cross-dressing on the state-sponsored TV, no more votes by otherwise balanced citizens for Donald La Cerise as The Greatest Canadian Ever.”
Yeah. It would be mighty tough to go without the directionless and troglodyte droolings of a has-been from the last century. Real tough…

Rally against the right to choose. That's "right". As in r-i-g-h-t!
Sigh - just another pinko, left-wing, fringe group
Thinking about this...
BOLO - tonight!
Mr. G. Trudeau still has an edge...
