He coached U16 Midgets in Long Island to the State Championship last year. Does that count?

Like I said, colds suck. Two days of bitching!

Colds suck.

Loudest game for me would be when Drury scored with seconds left and Max finished it off in OT. You couldn't even hear the goal horn. He's referring to when RJ said that he wished that Ted Darling was next to him right now.

He does have an opt out clause with the German team just in case an NHL team calls.

Garth: #55 has signed a two year deal to play for Adler Mannheim, his hometown squad.

Why did Ray get the game misconduct? Spearing?

I don't think he's necessarily referring to the Sabres. But you have to say that the 07 season and less holding etc. was a much more fun game to watch all across the NHL.

Another Sunday with my bf ROFLHAO at the Bills.

Hearing he'll only be out a week, nothing serious.

Oh com'on, they budget vacations all the time!

Thing is the NHL is always changing the playbook. They are trying to put Fehr on the defensive with the players, saying he doesn't want to deal. i.e. CBA contract length: first offer from NHL was five year length, PA 3 yrs. The next 5 yrs PA and the NHL went to 6. PA went to 6 and the NHL went to 8. In the last proposal the NHLPA said okay 8. Guess what? NHL went to 10. Bettman says it's all about the "whole" CBA not just one part. i.e. here's another $90 million dollars for "make whole" give us 10 years. The players are taking pressure from owners, BOG, coaches but are sticking up for each other from the high paid to low paid, I respect that. The deal was almost done and the players asked for Don to be in the room and the owners walked out. What does that say to you? PR firm bull if you ask me.

I understand how that works. So does the NHLPA. The NHLPA wants longer contracts so there are lower cap hits. Doing so allows the middle class to survive. Otherwise they see a bunch (3-4) high paid players and a bunch of million dollar players. So as it turns out the NHLPA had a counter proposal ready before Daly called S. Fehr and said the NHL offer was off the table and broke off talks.

Not sure what you mean here. Are you saying the NHL wants high paid players salaries to come down? And Tyler Myers hurts his ankle... has MRI http://www.kleinezei...iegen-kac.story

More than just Miller have said the same thing. A quote from a player was taken out of context, it happens. Especially when people are looking for juicy stories.

Ryan Miller: "At no time did Don Fehr ever advise the players to hold out for more. I heard that story and its wrong."
