Hey, seriously, read what Rich Clune wrote and be glad he's alive and pulled himself together.

Seeing some unusually strong language refuting this, so it would appear to be the Post being the Post.

Genuine question: How much can the Post be trusted here? I know they're a New York tabloid, but would they be decent on their sourcing with a story like this one?

Anyone with "Oxycodone" in your Mike Richards Border Incident pool, please step forward to collect.

Graeme Roustan discusses his bid for Tor2.

Interesting listen...

Roustan Interview

Fixed link.

The CCSLC Young Guns had their together more than the Coyotes do.

Don Maloney is saying the trade was contingent on Pronger agreeing to go into the Hall of Fame as a Coyote and I CAN'T TELL WHERE THE JOKES ARE ANYMORE HELP

The Coyotes just traded for Chris Pronger's cap hit so they can make the salary floor. This is allowed, somehow!

NBCSN cut away from the Coyotes' pick at #30 to show a Women's 100M Dash from some club track competition at Nikegon.

Gary Bettman with the stone of Glendale in a pneumatic vise, insisting there's still some blood in there.

I thought Markham decided against building their opulent cash-hole.

It's gonna be over $500 million for at least one of those teams. The NHL's cash lust has led it to a surprisingly savvy move here, offering three candidate cities when everyone knows there are two slots. Québec has to be desperate as hell, because they're opening up a $450 million hockey palace in three months with the freaking Remparts as the anchor tenant. They're gonna pay over list price without a second thought to make sure that nonexistent Seattle bid doesn't somehow get in ahead of them.

Seattle resumes its rightful position as the Coyotes' escape hatch.

You can go 2-on-2 for 4 minutes, 1-on-1 for 69 minutes, or replace overtime completely with a center ice goalie fight; as long as regulation games are worth two points, and overtime games are worth three, you still haven't addressed the problem.

Giving us a good idea in the worst way possible. I'd expect nothing less from the NHL.

Bedford Park is the industrial parks flanking Cicero Avenue once you're south of the Midway Airport hotels. I don't even know if anyone lives there. It might be just a couple hundred alleged residents, like McCook or Forest View.

Worth is pretty much West Alsip, in every sense.

Also, tough luck: you got Kane County for your bonus round. Good luck winning your vacation to Thornton now.

Hey, free money you don't have to share with your employees.

71st & Harlem. Easily accessible by no means of transportation.

Tangentially related, Bridgeview cements its position as Soccer Glendale:

The city called the stadium an "economic anchor" when they pitched it to residents. Whoops, turns out they were right!

I thought we were permanently at EXPANCON 3, because no one in the league could remember if 1 was the worst or if 5 was the worst.

...apparently not?

No, that's what Doug Wilson's roster moves are presented by.

Or "Ooooooooooh, Barracuda". (presented by SeaGate)

No wonder Glendale couldn't obtain any paperwork stating Barroway was the majority owner. He never was! Wonder if this kind of furious paper-pushing might get the Feds sniffing around.

While we're talking about minor league business sense, reminder that part of the Sharks' grand business plan is to make the Barracuda play Saturday afternoon matinees before Sharks home games.

The Kings Insider piece suggests it was the teams. There's a quote from Rob Blake about railing against 3 games in 3 days on weekends, because, oh, the development-stifling humanity!

Now, the stupidity of having 5 teams in the division play 68, and 2 others play 76, when the league had six 5-team divisions just last season? That one's probably on the league.
