Bennington Bear has been working the phones on this one for quite some time.

You know, the Jim Benning years with the Canucks is quite reminiscent of the Jay Feaster tenure with the Flames...

whats the common denominator there?

mutual enjoyment of the buffet table ?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

maybe employing a former Orlando Magic gm was a questionable move for both

lol - That's one commonality, I would also add way too talkative with the media.

Jets are wearing their Heritage Classic white jerseys at home tonight while the Flames will wear the 'home' reds. Here's a throwback to the 80's (and a very nice look, in my opinion)

Until Benning uses his first round pick to offer sheet a guy who has to be placed on waivers, Feaster wins this battle easily.

he just needs more time

Those Jets jerseys back in the 80's where awesome. Speaking of awesome jerseys the Devils are rumored to be changing theirs. That's to bad as I've always liked theirs.

"I wasn't fired because of analytics," he continued. "I loved coaching the Florida Panthers and I'm a stubborn guy at times; maybe I said a little too much, maybe I gave my opinion a little bit too much. Maybe when they asked for my opinion, I have an honest opinion and sometimes it doesn't help you. Maybe it wasn't always what they wanted to hear. I don't know where it went from there ..."

Gallant: I wasn't fired because of analytics

Gallant: "hey guys ... analytics sucks!"

/not sure if it was posted in here but Botchford had interesting stuff on this ... that Gallant didnt buy into analytics because he didnt understand them but thats not Gallants fault ... the Panthers didnt have the personnel who were adept enough with communicating fancy stats to get Gallants full buy-in

//they hired Private Drancer too late lol

 

[dash]

I'm not a big Thomas Drance fan, but hey, kudos to him for landing a pretty prominent gig with a NHL team...

/I hope he'll like Quebec City in a couple of years

Smoke 'em if you got 'em I guess, because you can't do it next year...

Every time a player get close to 1000 points, I think 2 things:
1. That is an amazing career.
2. Gretzky hit 1000 at 23.

 

[puckhead]

Lehtonen vs Budaj.... over was a lock.
both starting goalies have been pulled, fwiw.

 

[esls79]

They could have played 4 on 4 the whole game with both team having both goalies out there at once and the over was still a lock.

I hate the idea of changing uniforms, ABSOLUTELY opposed to changing the logo.

What's the asking price for Duchene these days? Trade for that guy, move Camm and Parenteau for what you can, sign Shattenkirk in the off season, that's my wish list.
