Running 2007 NHL regular season thread

Radulov has a three point night, but the Preds are going to OT.

EDIT: Martin Erat just scored 10 seconds into OT.

Preds beat 'Hawks, 5-4.

 

Fuck the Toronto Sun.

This is as about as bad as you can get

Their circulation is going down the tubes and all they can come up with is scurrilous crap like this.

 

How did Lucic do in his scrap against Bell

 

Hey HB, Rangers are making a comeback somewhat. Beating the Flyers tonight a damn good win.

 

Quote of the year from the WHL's Red Deer Rebels head coach Brian Sutter.

“It’s like getting caught with the ugliest woman in Red Deer, standing on the street corner holding hands. That’s what tonight was like. But you know what? It takes balls to stand there and do that.” — Brian Sutter, to the Red Deer Advocate, following Wednesday’s 4-3 victory over the host Edmonton Oil Kings that the Red Deer Rebels head coach termed as an ugly, but courageous win.

 

I don't know a damn thing about Red Deer, but that's awesome. The Sutter family contribution to the game continues.

 

They are playing very well, especially defensively. The goals will come but it's a good sign that their team defense is so solid.

 

Ah the Sutter boys ... I bet Brent is laughing his ass off today ... I would have loved to have gotten that quote.

And yeah, Red Deer isn't exactly a hot bed for hotties.

 

Marty York predicts Keenan canning:

I’m beginning to believe Mike Keenan will not last the season as coach of the Calgary Flames.


Nearly a quarter of the way through Keenan’s first season with Calgary, the Flames have not come close to consensus expectations, recording only seven victories in 18 games. Sources are hearing stories out of the Calgary locker room that Keenan’s rigid methods have not been appreciated by the majority of the Flames and that captain Jarome Iginla has confronted, or soon will confront, the coach on the team’s behalf.


“If we’re not at rock bottom,” Calgary forward Craig Conroy said recently, “we’re close to it.”


“It may just be that a guy like Keenan has a counter-productive effect on contemporary players,” an NHL assistant coach told me. “A few years ago, he might have been able to get away with his hardnosed approach. Maybe not any more. Players have changed. They’re richer. They have chips on their shoulders. They resent it if they think they're not getting treated the way professional adults should be … If things don’t improve in Calgary, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Mike replaced by the all-star game.”

 

Wow, how the mighty have fallen.

Marty York's writing for the freebie subway newspapers now?

He's about as credible as Al Strachan.

 

Yeah, he seems to go with the 'throw shit up against the wall and see if it sticks' theory.

 

If it's possible I think he is worse.
I swear he get his "scoops" straight off of internet rumour web sites.
The guy is a complete fraud.
