I think, hope, you are right. Betman is a marketing man. Last go-around he went up against a lightweight. Fehr is smart and knows the game. Hopefully, the owners reel Bettman in.

Sorry, Jammer. I hate to post this, but; There is posturing then there is posturing. Donald Fehr is not one to mess with. He turned the baseball union into one that really scares the devil out of baseball owners. Look at baseball's collective agreement. The players got and will continue to get exactly what they wanted. If Fehr can hold the players together, Bettman needs to be careful, very careful! The owner's proposal is just probably a salvo shot across the unions bow to get things started, if not, the NHL owners are in for more than they are bargaining for!

Wow! To sign both players will mean major roster changes.

As long as they are winning there is no question about the starting goalie.

Ain't it sweat!

Ouch. I am still trying to think of an example. It may be awhile. Giroux, at least yesterday has taken the "C"whether he is actually wears the letter on his sweater,really does not matter. And, as you pointed out, maybe it's best this way.

I watched Giroux's interview after the game. The interviewer wanted to talk about how great a game G played. All G talked about was the team and especially Bryz's effort today. I then read Mckenzie's article stating that Giroux should be made captain. G is young, but i have to agre with Mckenzie It is time to nameClaude captain. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=393937

A fish rots from the head back!

Bryz, you have been through h ell this season. Great Game Atta Boy!

Hossa's blood is on Shanny. many NFL retired players are suing their league, in the form of a class action suit, for intentionally ignoring their head injuries. The last two weeks has given the NHL Player's Union all the ammo it needs to launch a suite of their own which would to destroy the NHL. I've followed NHL hockey for almost fifty years. If this keeps up, I won't follow NHL hockey for a fifty-first year.

I believe that Neal has a previous incident.

See Sheridan's article. The NHL is in a bind. The Pens are the NHL's favorite sons. They can do no wrong. Sid is the "fair-haired-boy (girl"). They are very protected/favored. Collectively the legues marketing stars. However, Gary Bettman is a lawyer first last and always. If the NHL does not act quickly and decisively in regard to blatant headhunting, they are opening themselves up for a massive NFL type, class action law suit, by previous players, for allowing/encouraging play that permanently impairs the players cognitive and physical functioning. It will be interesting to see how the league responds today.

Classy post.

I guess he found his map.

Emotionally I would love to see it, but not as much as a Flyers sweep.

The NHL has no credibility if there are no suspensions. But when it comes to Cindy they don't care. Get some cahones Shanny, will you.

Both caught on tape, both guilty. But I vote, umh, maybe Asham, not Neal. Nah. No suspensions.

Campbell epitomizes something that is wrong with the NHL, nepotism. If his last name were Smith, or whatever, he would not be where he is today. He was a mediocre player and even worse NHL executive. He has no credibility what-so-ever. When he was caught trying to influence how referees call his sons' play, he should have been summarily dismissed, instead he was kicked upstairs. What a black eye for the NHL!

I just changed my mind about Milbury, well not really.

BSeriously, how much longer do we have to put up with this. Boycott the Flyers when Bryz plays!

I have not been thrilled with his play, but after listening to this tape have to give him credit. He said what he had to to survive and he did it in a nice way. No screaming or blaming others, just straight and simple "leave me alone" to do my job. I wish him success.

I was worried. After his first game back he was interviewed. His speech was very dysfluent, almost stuttering like, one of the possible symtoms of concussion. I do not trust the Flyers medical staff, and I would bet that Guru wanted to return ASAP!

I see the bright side of this team. I do not thinka that anyone at the beginning of the season expected the Flyers to do so well. They have a wonderful assortment of very talented kids, and some exceptional veterans. It probably won't hppen this year, but if they refrain from trading any of the kids, for an overaged veteren, they may be great next year and te following.
