Brad Marchand with some summer trash talk...

'I dislike him very much': Bruins' Marchand on Canadiens' Plekanec | NHL | Hocke

Plekanec, whose Habs got the best of Marchand's Bruins in a spirited seven-game playoff series last spring, took the dig in stride.

"I enjoyed his comment about me," the Canadiens center told Czech journalist Zdenek Matejovsky "It comes from a person that actually almost everybody in the NHL hates!"

Plekanec replies back and say what everybody already nose about Marchand

I like that Giroux's playoff numbers are above league average.

I thought the Bruins were supposed to be a tough in your face team? The Canadiens obviously got under their skin. I find it quite funny.

Well that will probably be the funniest thing I see today.

Jim Nill and advanced stats...

Stars GM Jim Nill engrossed in advanced statistics; finding right balance still a challenge | Dallas Morning News

I thought this was a hell of an interesting article when I read it this morning. Must be a challenge for a GM to figure out what is worthwhile and what isn't.

"I've been told (the Canadiens) have a significant offer on the table, believed to be an eight year deal," Johnston continued. "In these final hours it's just about trying to massage that number back and forth and get to that final point."

Maybe we shouldn't get too attached to the name "Arizona" Coyotes just yet.

According to a report in the Arizona Republic, a previously undisclosed meeting of City Council members and an Arizona Coyotes attorney last June may have violated Arizona's Open Meeting Law and revealed key information to the Coyotes about the city's negotiating position.

The answer we were looking for is "Rocky III".

I thought it was a good read too. I read it last night. Interesting part is the coaches watching the game film and researching the divergence in the #'s and why. The last couple of paragraphs capture a potential opportunity; and here you thought it was just facebook, LinkedIn and google doing the data mining.

The Stars took a significant step forward in ’13-14, making the playoffs for the first time since Owner Tom Gaglardi bought the team out of bankruptcy in ’11.

The team followed up that milestone by adding veteran scorers Jason Spezza and Ales Hemsky to its young core. With the hope that the team will carry its on-ice momentum into ’14-15, the front office, led by President & CEO Jim Lites, is working to put the team’s business operations in a position to follow suit.

Lites admitted the team likely is not in a position to turn a profit this season, but said that the goal is climbing closer. Lites: “Once we can sell the lower arena of the AmericanAirlines Center out on a season-ticket basis at fair prices, we’re going to be well on our way to being profitable on an annual basis.”

Lites said that the team is 80% of the way to selling out the arena's lower bowl on a nightly basis. The team has a full season-ticket base of 9,000 heading into this season, up from 6,000 when Gaglardi took over.
