An interesting story on the litigation initiated by SL to keep the name/logo. NY Times

There you go, sounding like Blais again.

Screw the reviews. You don't need reviews and complaints to the refs if you put your opponents away, and don't let them linger. I'm surprised he isn't blaming the ice, wrong tape on the blades, curvature of the Earth, or whatever. Typical.

F...

Amen. No clock watching, and another full 20 minute period.

I remember reading that after Dollar Bill died 'Hawks fans started booing when they did a moment of silence in his honor.

I'm glad the 'Hawks are actually spending money on young, talented players with a good upside. Much better than the days of "Dollar Bill" Wirtz, and unlike a few other teams who fork over tons of money to players who were "great" last decade ... *cough* Rangers *cough*

The 'Hawks will be announcing multi-year extensions for Toews, Kane and Keith later today.

It's the board's version of "double secret probation".

My condolences to YaneA and her family. It's never easy to lose a parent, especially this time of year.

I wonder if the renewed buzz about a BTHC isn't somehow tied to the recent creation of College Hockey, Inc. Linky

Really? What's the cause of action? Thin skin? Hurt feelings? A lack of self-esteem? One more frivolous lawsuit because someone wet their panties once too often.

So, by your twisted "logic" Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice-Cube, etc. should have been sued for using Niggers With Attitude (NWA) too ... The fact your little feelings may get hurt does not automatically entitle them to protection under the US Consitution, no matter what the current Kumbaya crowd may tell you.

As I suspected, the Supremes denied cert on this case earlier, so it's back to the drawing board for the "plaintiffs".

If anyone has some spare change in the sofa cushions, you can bid on Toews' Veteran's Day Jersey. NHL Auction

Both Zajac and Parise seem to be on pace to beat last year's points production.

Yep. It's amazing that this guy can deliver two Titles, and usually solid teams, and some "fans" on the Strib's site want him fired barely a month or so into the season.

The check is being cut now, and should arrive from my bank in a week or so.

Put me in for $50. PM your info and I'll cut a check when you're ready. And take some pics of our proteges in their gear.

I never knew you lived on Nantucket. Linky

Missed today's practice as well.

Toews didn't practice with the 'Hawks today. He may be ready for the weekend.

Minnesota hockey fan?

Nothing really new, but today's New York Times as a story on this saga. Linky And it's also on Fark's front page ... Fark

Were they going to put the house on stilts? Maybe build some sort of self-propelled house they could drive down I-94 out of harm's way?
