they wanted to rest Smitty after he had just played the previous day. i don't think he needed it though. we need Smitty to be our constant #1. i have a feeling this will be Kolzilla's last year before he retires too

we also got Halpern and Jokinen in that deal. that was a great one. i still do miss Richie though
Ugh, sorry about that. I really thought TB would be better this year. I'm glad to see Malone is starting to play better.
.....but Crosby and Malkin don't miss him too much. Go Pens!
If He continues to play like crap , don't be surprised if he doesn't even complete the season .
I liked Brad a lot , but he was a very disapointing player the last few years he was in Tampa so I much rather have the players we got in exchange for him .
Atlanta Trashers 4 - Montréal Canadien 5
Matt D'Agostini scored his first NHL goal to give the lead 1-0 to Habs in the 1st period.
Habs were leading 3-0 when hell break loose... the Trashers scored 3 goals within 59 seconds - the last 2 goals in 7 mere seconds!!!
After taking the lead back, 4-3, Habs scored an EN to make the score 5-3. Few seconds after, Trashers scored to make it 5-4.
Not a great game for the Habs. A win is nice but the team isnt playing well.

Good win by the Flyers.
The Lightning have lost eight games in overtime, more then any other team. At least they are competitive in a bunch of games. They really got to get Kolzig out of net, though.

It seems it's Bettman who will knock him down for now.
Avery is pathetic. He crossed the line again with comments on other player's wives or girlfriends.
Avery cannot learn that he is in a company (NHL) which have a code of conduct. He can harrass the hell out of everyone, talk dirty to get people out of their game but everybody knows that family and race are two no-nos...
As long as we have morons like him in the NHL, i'm expecting to see "Bertuzzi" incidents happend...
Moreover, it's the second time this season that one of his teammates condamned his conduct (do you see often teammates speaking against teammates in the NHL?): after Mike Modano, now it is Marty Turco. I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of his own teammates who fix his case and knock him down...
As i have often heard, Avery disturbs as much (if not more) his own team than he disturbs the other team.

Yep Mike Smith is the way to go if they want to win . I hope Kolzig gets no more than 10 starts untill the end of the season .

I wish they let him play the Flames so Bertuzzi could knock this fucker on his ass. The man's attitude is an insult to hockey and sports. He should be banned from the league. Even if they allow him to play again, if I was Tippett I'd just stick him on the bench for the rest of the season.
I saw a clip of his comments on ESPN and I have to be honest...I didn't see anything too wrong with them. I thought it was a case of trash-talking and "stirring the pot" before a big game. He has had so many high profile girlfriends that he, himself, is someone else's "sloppy seconds." If he called Cuthbert a whore or Phaneuf a "homo" or something, than I'd definitely agree with a suspension and some sort of censure of him.
I think Sean Avery is letting celebrity get to his head. He was a valuable player for the Kings and ever since he left the Kings, his name has appeared in the papers not for good things.
I think he likes seeing his name in the papers and his mug on TV. He seems to enjoy stirring the pot and not "sticking around" to deal with the fallout. His players are left to defend him while he gets sent to the showers. So I can understand how his teammates could be getting tired of bailing him out.
Hockey has created this frankensteinian media whore by trying to waterdown the sport for a corporate American audience. If they went back to a purer form of Hockey, Avery's behavior would be kept in check more.
But Hockey is on life support economically. Frankly, they need the publicity that Avery is bringing. :2 cents:
I beleive even the players themselves will ask the direction to get rid of him.
If it was possible, that would be nice to see him traded to a siberian team in the Russia league.
Shanny used to call him puppy or something when he first came up with the Wings. He was an attention whore then and the Wings dumped him before word of his attitude got around.
