Dunno if anyone south of the border heard about this show, but CBC had a reality show last season called Making The Cut. They had over 4,000 people apply to compete for one spot in each of the six Canadian NHL teams' training camp. There's a story at tsn.ca/hockey on the six winners. I doubt more than two of them will even crack the minor league roster, but it's a fun little story.

 

In other news, Hal Gill accepted his qualifying offer with the Bruins, and Karel Pilar of the Leafs will miss 2-3 months with a heart condition.

How long must the Hal Gill era last?!? The guy sucks offensively and is average at best defensively. He's still coasting by on a mis-quote from Jaromir Jagr from like 6 years ago ... ugh, c'mon B's, just trade him the fuck away already.

Canucks sign Ruuto to a 1year deal wth 600 K. Matt Cooke is the only Restricted FA the Canucks want and have not signed.

Posted

Brent Johnson also signed with the Canucks. Him and Alex Auld will battle for backup.

Both OLN & NBC allegedly released their TV schedules, Wednesday & yesterday (respectively) but it's like pulling teeth to find them. I know the B's are on NBC three times, and on OLN 6 (I think) but it's wicked difficult to find an all-encompassing list of games.

It's not as newsworthy, but nl5xsk1 thinks Stevens is going to retire, too.

 

EDIT: And after looking through the schedules, why does OLN think the B's/Caps is worthy of showing 3 times? And why do two B's/Thrashers games get national coverage?!?

Massachusetts has a plague with drunk driving hockey players ... besides the obvious MacTavish killing that woman on Rt 1, Marty Lapointe rolled his car a few seasons ago, right on main street in Andover. The police literally shut down the road on both sides and had his car towed away, wiping the whole thing under the rug.

Atlanta signed Goalie Mike Dunham to a 1 year deal worth 750k

 

Pittsburgh signed Lyle Odelien

 

according to the Toronto Star, Ted Saskin contract is upsetting some players in the PA. Apparently he got the job though not the whole commitee did not agree or even had a say that he should be president of the NHLPA.

Dunno. Now Dany Heatley trying to drive through Boston while drunk, that might have some action.

 

Might help if he still played for the Thrashers though, right?

 

Maybe the Hossa/Heatley deal was just the first part of a 3-way, Max, and now the B's will ship Joe T up to Ottawa for Heatley, and Czech knew about that and just wasn't supposed to say anything but slipped.

 

Man, I hope not.

MOC wouldn't make that deal, since he already seemingly refused Joe for Heatley straight up.

 

MOC shouldn't make the deal anyway, since it'd be sending Joe to a divsion rival.

Theodore signs with the Habs.

Theodore signs with the Habs.

 

I can sleep tonight. They could have signed fucking Jarome Iginla, I'd have had no faith in em. Theodore is the heart and soul of that team.

Brutal that the National Audience can only see Vancouver once.

 

It will be a good game tho, vs the Stars in March.
