The Manitoba Polar Bears can fuck off, we got a game to play.  Canucks will win tonight.

Best of luck to you guys, but signing a new GM is fairly big news in the hockey world as well.

Sorry, I'm just excited, you're right it is big news. 

I hear he is a good pick-up, still i'm surprised they let Dudley go.  Wonder if he wanted a deal like Burke, no ownership interference on hockey decisions or something like and so Dudley had to go because the owners intend to interfere Charles Wang style.  That 4 year deal on the books kind of hurts when you're in a tight money situation.

At the time Dudley was signed I thought Atlanta must have consulted with Winnipeg, but obviously not.  Apparently his contract was a point of contention in the sales negotiation, and Atlanta may be on the hook for his salary.  I do know his buyout is being paid over 8 years.

True North and Dudley did sit down and have a meeting.  Apparently True North was interested in keeping him in the organization, but Dudley was only interested in being GM (and perhaps with significant power).  Friedman reported it was a short meeting because they quickly realized they didn't want the same things.

Whoever is the GM will have to work very closely with Craig Heisenger.  I don't know if that is ownership interference, but I don't think Chevy will have unlimited freedom either.

Vancouver's goonery isn't paying off.  Since they don't have any heart, and Boston is so much tougher than they are, they're having serious problems.

Hah. Harper took a military jet to get himself, his daughter and a minister down to Boston to watch game 4. Yay austerity measures

We're not really doing those.

Besides, he just wanted to make sure that the Canucks choked.  A city that votes NDP doesn't deserve the Cup.

I really appreciate Vancouver doing this beautiful tribute to the Capitals  :cry:
