What's a coach to do?



Because Jacques Martin's options are limited and he doesn't have enough bodies to sit repeat offenders, what else would be a suitable punishment for stupid game costing penalties?

Some ideas......

Do the team laundry, by hand 
Mandatory back to back viewings of "The English Patient"
Co-author a vegan cookbook with Georges Laraque
Cruise the bars with Mike Milbury
Share a hot tub with Pierre McGuire

Any other suggestions?  Please leave them in the comments.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks....



Suggested replacements for Mike Milbury and Pierre McGuire on TSN. They're easier on the eye and as for the rest...well let's be honest folks, it could only be an improvement.


Mike Milbury and Pierre McGuire were doing their dog and pony show between periods yesterday and they had a brief chat with Sidney Crosby. Mike asks the burning question, “Sid, do you have a dark side”? “Like have you ever put a tack on a teacher’s chair or beaten a dog”? Sid being his gracious self just laughs and says “boy Mike, nobody has ever asked me anything like that before, no I haven’t.”

Hey Mikey, that’s some pretty impressive interviewing, I’ll bet not even Barbara Walters would ask something that dopey.

As if my boy Sid would EVER beat a dog. Hey Sid, you have my full permission to beat on Mike Milbury any time. You’d be doing us a public service.

It reminded me of another Milbury moment, a few months back good old Mike was giving his two cents between periods during a Habs game. He goes off on a rant about Alex Kovalev, saying things such as “who would ever want a guy like that on their team, he’s so lazy and selfish”. I was spitting mad, Alex has had his moments but it’s like someone saying something about one of your family members, blood is thicker than water. Milbury is so unprofessional and to add insult to injury the dingbat is getting well paid for his drivel. Maybe it’s just a little jealousy on my part, where do you sign up for a job like that?

The Hawks lose 5-2 to the Wings yesterday afternoon; this is going to be an entertaining battle of experience versus energy.

Pens versus Canes tonight. Season finale of 24. Sigh. Why is life so full of tough decisions?
