Running 2007 NHL regular season thread

Soon time to turn this one off ... 3-0.

 

Oooh, he yanks Kipper. That's big.

 

Not necessarily sure Kipper's at fault for the deficit.

That said, I can't wait until Keenan suggests that Eddie Belfour might be able to help the Flames.

 

No, I wouldn't say that either. The defence is hanging him out to dry. Doesn't make sense.

Sure was interesting when McElhinney went out to play the puck ... aieeeeeeeeee!

 

Allow me to quote from one of my favorite tomes, Barry Meisel's Losing The Edge: The Rise and Fall of the Stanley Cup Champion New York Rangers:

During the regular season:

My favorite. From training camp that year:

 

4-1 final ... nice. Take that to the bank, Iron Mike.

 

Thanks for that beat. Hockey News had it right on that cover they had.

Why Is Mike Keenan Back In The NHL?

 

Can't wait for the presser when Mikey blames the players. And it's coming soon.

 

He has Polaroids of Sutter in compromising positions?

 

To paraphrase ...

"I asked them for a jumpstart, for some energy. They didn't respond to that ... at all."

It couldn't possibly be a lack of leadership from the bench, could it?

 

It's telling that three of the NHL's all-time classiest players, Wayne Gretzky, Trevor Linden and Mike Gartner all hate him.

Since winning Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final on June 14, 1994, Mike Keenan is 174-195-71-20 (wins-losses-ties-overtime losses) and qualified for the playoff twice--1994-95, when the Blues lost in the first round and in 1995-96, where the Blues lost on the second round.

 

Maybe grown men don't want to be verbally abused by a cocksucking, Napoleonic piece of shit who is the single biggest cancer in sports; a destructive force that ruins franchises with short-sighted, illogical trades and points the finger at everyone around him.
