I'm not terribly too surprised about him getting the axe already, but it is a bit of a disappointment.

About a month before the season started I ran into him at a cigar bar in Boston. Didn't really get a chance to talk at length, but he was excited and looking forward to coaching again.

I'm curious to see how long it takes ESPN to sign him as a commentator again... I seem to remember Eddie O getting back on VS pretty quickly after the Pens fired him.

I heard a lot of interesting things about Tampa Management from people in the know over the summer.

It seems most are trying to avoid the team like the plague

Turn over after turn over. The Blues have got to be smarter at the "Blue line".

Sorry about the during game commentary. I had to vent!!

None necessary, it was a great game live! Hawks salvage a point after playing 10 of the worst minutes of the season to start the game. Penalties in OT are killers, 4 on 3 creates too much open ice and are so much tougher to defend than 5 on 4s.

Seeing Byfuglien thump Keith Tkachuk was worth the price of admission alone...Captain Keith has really become quite the jag in his later years.
