Running 2007 NHL regular season thread

Downie apologized to McAmmond, but the Sens are still pissed.

On Thehockeynews.com, Mike Brophy implored Colin Campbell needs to suspend Downie. http://www.thehockeynews.com/en/news/news.asp?idNews=25862

 

Here's a decent column from the junior level ...

Seems like Marc Staal will be skating on 33rd Street this season.

Did you ask him if his contract runs out March 26, 2008?

I say that you might as well not bother learning the coach’s name. He might not be here long enough!

 

Pastor, my man, Sutter told me that Lamoriello is going to can him early on April 2, 2008. Like last year's dismissal of Julien, it will be with three games remaining in the season.

 

That is interesting. I assumed that Lou decided that last year's failure was not taking over soon enough. Thus, I added the extra buffer week.

 

Brent told me that Lou felt he took over at the right time. The failure was not having enough scoring and making sure Marty was rested for the playoffs.

 

Hey, it might not even by McGrattan who gets him - especially after he went public with that which will get the attention of the league. There might be a heavyweright on another team who is a buddy of McAmmond's who might take care of him.

 

That leaves Jared who we'll see tonight when Brampton plays Sudbury.

The contention in the article that Jared will be a "high draft pick" in '08 is questionable at best. From what I've seen so far, if he's drafted, it'll be beacause of his name.

 

McAmmond is a well-liked fellow. I'm sure he has a few friends in the league.

Let's just pray we can avoid another Bertuzzi.

 

I am so screwed with my pools. Who knew Giguere would be out for 2 weeks.

Panic buttons set off, and no good goalies left.

The networks love Sid:
