Once again I have to thank the hockey media, specifically TSN, for refusing to let facts get in the way of a good story. There was no trade tonight. I can't even begin to imagine what the hell possessed them to run such blatant lies on their station. Jason Smith is, and will be for some time, an Edmonton Oiler ( Read more... )

It's kind of interesting seeing where everyone's opinions fall on this one. Most people close to our organization seem to be pleased with Woywitka as a pick-up. Next year we'll see if he can make me look as smart as Torres has this year ( Read more... )

If it's right for the team, I don't mind looking like a bad guy. I'm not going to spend my time making sure one guy is taken care of. I have a whole organization that I am accountable to, and he's not even part of it anymore ( Read more... )

"Shawn looks good," said coach Craig MacTavish.

This can only mean that the end of the world is imminent

I love when the hockey yearbooks start to show up on magazine stands across Canada. Especially when one of them calls MacT "an easily enraged blowhard". I am getting the page enlarged and framed. The same article says my trades last year were "subtle, yet brilliant". There's some criticism of me too, but nothing like the "blowhard" comment ( Read more... )

My favorite line/moment of the week was a MacTism. Simmer told him he was officially signed on for next season and MacT said "I see. Looks like there's one too many Craig's around. This rink ain't big enough for the both of us." He was joking and all, but he was trying to look tough. Then he tripped on the stairs. I haven't laughed so hard in ( Read more... )

We can't afford Messier. To quote a good friend of mine, "What the fuck are you smoking ( Read more... )
