If Mason Raymond doesnt see his shadow this morning its probably because he fell down

I think BT (like a lot of Flames fans) was shocked about how much ice time Hartley was giving Raymond (including power play time). Sending a clear message this morning.

Shrewd moves there - dangling the carrot on the waiver wire to give the Oilers a sniff. Then after he clears send him to the A for a week and then the Oilers should trade something of value for him. Maybe this is how you pry Eberle away.

I can hear the Bennington spin now after they trade Prust for John Scott

"I mean ... when you have a chance to acquire an all star game MVP ... I mean ... you do it"

Torn between wanting the Habs to do something stupid for entertainment purposes...and wanting Prust as far from the East as possible.

It would shock me if Buffalo gave any public funding for a stadium. They love the Bills, but that city's been broke since long before the Bills last made the playoffs.

Prust is not to be feared anymore. He's become a huggy bear, not wanting to get his face messy for his lady and her tv show

plus its a tossup on who is the faster skater right now : Prust or John Scott ... especially with the ankle injury that Prust had earlier in the year

Good, only issue is then that I'd have to see his face. Something about that guy I just loathe.

There's nothing quite as cruel as the charade leagues and teams put on to get public money. It's appalling. The NFL doing it pisses me off more than most, simply because they're worth billions but still shake the coffer in the public's face. But it makes me think about the Pens situation. I know it's hardball, and that's just how you play the game, blah blah blah, but it sucks. Of course if they simply had given the Pens the casino license, then they don't have to threaten moving, etc. But what sucks is you play on fans' emotions. You know public perception will be in your favor, mostly, because the fans want their team around. This situation is obviously different, though. Asking for public money to build a new arena that, even if nice and used for other things, is still wholly unnecessary, is just a slap in the face.

If you make the customers foot the bill the people who get the most pissed off are the people who like and support the team. If you make taxpayers foot the bill the people who get the most pissed off are the people who don't like and don't support the team. Principles and ethics aside, it's an easy decision for an owner which way to go when you think of it that way.
