    Unless he bolts West. There is one (maybe 2) openings within an hours drive.

      Not this season. I think it depends on what he does with the kids from Grand Rapids next season. Ken Holland needs to do more than just sign some patchwork FA's, jam his fingers in his ears, and pretend it's 2003.


      Quite telling last night was that Ken Holland was not present on the ice surface for the farewell at the Joe. He was also absent from the box seats until halfway through the farewell. The crowd broke into a "Come home Steve-ee!" chant during Steve Yzerman's speech last night. And Ken Holland was but a mere footnote during Scotty Bowman's speech.

      Listening to 97.1 leaving Detroit last night, they noted those same issues, and felt that Steve hat tipped his hand slightly during his speech eluding to wanting to come home.

      At first I wasn't so sure, but thinking back, Steve sure had a lot of awkward pauses and moments where he had to gather his thoughts. I know the moment was a lot for the guys, but there seemed to be *something* to his thoughts.



      And Gary Bettman was in the building. Sitting with the Ilitch family. And didn't get boo'd

        Speaking of coaches, we have an opening. Is there anybody competent available to take their talents to Brooklyn?

            I don't know why the new owners didn't clean house. Now as it becomes obvious Barclays won't be the permanent home we're going to have to go back to the whole "Uniondale 2.0 or Mets' tenant?" opera, which probably ends in Kansas City.

            You would think New York F-cking City would produce one white knight who liked hockey*. I mean, key-rist, I went to school with kids who were going to inherit their parents' Brazilian copper conglomerate. All I'm asking to get the Islanders back on their feet is 6, maybe 8 billion dollars.

            * And yes, you would think the same thing for baseball.

                  In keeping with my longstanding record of rarely having predicted the Stanley Cup winner, but nevertheless remaining unafraid to step out on a limb and saw it off behind me, I will take Chicago to beat Boston for the Cup. Anyone else care to offer a shot from the point as to the Cup winner?
                  sigpic Eight. ....with a design on nine.

                    I put the Wild and Toronto in my Finals Bracket with the Wild winning. I of course live in La La Land so my prediction is purely fancy and not practical in any way.

                      It's been a while for me, but being from north of the border and all, it's Leafs and Oilers in a 7 game classic, won in OT in game 7 by Tyler Bozak!

                      Oh come on.....let the old man dream! I'd love to see Bettman and NBC pee themselves.

                            Let the best 2 months of the year begin!

                            Since I don't have a rooting interest for the first time in my NHL fan life, well... Hoping for multiple OT's and game 7's. And somebody other than Chicago raising the cup in June.

                                The Blues got away with the most blatant 6 Men On The Ice infraction that I've ever seen not get called.
