Al Arbour will coach one with the Islanders next season, so the Hall-of-Famer can reach 1,500 games behind the bench.

He gets to coach the Isles against the Penguins. Is it too late to get Bossy, Gillies, Trottier and Billy Smith, etc., to join the team for one game?

I was just thinking that....I am not sure that it will make people in the States watch the NHL thought?

Even at their age, they'd put some of those Long Island punks to shame.

According to TSN.ca, the Oilers may soon be down to one owner. Local Billionaire Daryl Katz - worth 1.6 billion.

I hope it happens. I personally prefer the one man ownership. Gives the team a true identity, plus the whole too many chefs in the kitchen thing. Plus Katz has the capital to build a new rink and has been involved already in previous talks about fronting a chunk of change for the project. I would welcome this in a heart beat.

Don't forget to give credit where it's due, though, Beef. The good folks who currently own the Oilers have been through hell and back to keep that team running. Same as down here.

Unreal where both teams have been and where they are now, both considering new arenas.

Absolutely, I rarely ever forget to sing the praises of the EIG (Edmonton Investors Group). If it wasn't for them we'd be talking about the Les Alexander owned and opperated Houston Oilers. What they did, especially on the level of what they did was encredible, especially considering how risky a proposition it was at the time to own the Oilers. That being said I would like to see one stable owner in place now who is willing to spend his own money on a stadium and is not looking to milk three levels of government for all he can in the process.

Laughable story of the day.

Yashin is going to play in the Russian SuperLeague this season.

http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/07/21/sports/NA-SPT-HKY-Yaroslavl-Yashin-Russia.php

And we have a quote of the day!

From the story:

Financial terms weren't immediately available. The contract doesn't provide Yashin with an out-clause to return to the NHL next season, his agent Todd Diamond told The Associated Press in a phone interview.

"He's committed to them," Diamond said. "They were very aggressive the entire time. They told us they wanted him and they told us they wanted to win a championship there as they have in the past and they felt that Alexei was the guy."

Yashin? Lead? He couldn't lead a bear to shit in the woods.

Making a living heart donor a leader? Someone's kidding, aren't they?

Wait until Ms. Alt finds out where she's heading ...

Ms. Alt might beg Rangers legend Ron Greschner to take her back once she hears Holdout Boy wants to head back to the Motherland.

Re: 2007 NHL awards, draft and off-season running thread

I am predicting the relationship between Alt and Yashin done because of the move. I guess no one wanted to take a chance on Yashin in the NHL. It's clear that teams see him as a cancer and too expensive.

Carol Alt seems to be the NHL's answer to Alyssa Milano.

<a href="http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=31&aid=127100">
It looks like the NHL has come up with its answer to mlb.tv.</a>

It's more expensive ($160) than mlb.tv. According to this, you'll get the pregame and postgame shows that you rarely see on Center Ice (For some reason, I always was able to see the Avalanche postgame shows on the Center Ice package I got through Dish Network.)

<a href="http://www.nhl.com/nhlhq/centerice_online.html">
Here's the page on nhl.com about it.</a>

If you get the Center Ice package through your TV provider, you still have to pay for the online option. You get 50 percent off, though.
