Best story I’ve heard in a long time: With Vancouver holding a 2-0 lead over Detroit in the 2002 Stanley Cup playoffs, Brendan Morrison lined up for a faceoff against Steve Yzerman. Morrison said Yzerman smiled and told him, “We’ve got you right where we want you.” The Red Wings would win four straight, eliminate [...]

from Elliotte Friedman of CBC, • Dany Heatley comes to Edmonton on Friday. The smartest thing he could do is say, “I’m sorry but I didn’t want to go to a Canadian city. I wanted to go to San Jose from the beginning, because it’s less suffocating for me.” Won’t stop the avalanche of boos, but Oiler fans deserve an honest explanation. • ...the...

from Elliotte Friedman of CBC, 1. Steve Yzerman meets with his Olympic selection committee – Holland, Doug Armstrong, Kevin Lowe – this week. I don’t understand how anyone not named Marc-Andre Fleury could be Canada’s starting goaltender. He deserves the first chance to play. 2. Ken Holland told The Calgary Herald he will propose banning hits to the head from the...

... the CBC and Harper Collins. For Hockey Night, the immediate issue is: Who replaces him? Reporter Elliotte Friedman filled in one week and did a good job. The Globe and Mail’s David Shoalts appeared once. Last week, Glenn Healy took a turn, juggling two assignments, one in the studio replacing Strachan, by remote, and the other at ice level as a game analyst. It’s difficult...

from Elliotte Friedman of CBC, Another reason: Imagine you’re the Florida Panthers. You’ve committed $25.5 million to David Booth. He may never play again. Tell that to your owner. What does this say for Chris Pronger? Traded from St. Louis in 2005, the Blues need three years to get back to the playoffs. Traded from Edmonton in 2006, Oilers are 0-for-3. Now, Anaheim’s...

from Elliotte Friedman of CBC, Not surprisingly, Bob Gainey does not use Twitter. He hasn’t personally seen what Allan Walsh tweeted last weekend. But, he’s aware of the controversy, and Jaroslav Halak won’t be held responsible for his agent’s thoughts. “I thought it was infantile ... ‘My dad is bigger than your dad,’ kind of thing,” Gainey...

from Elliotte Friedman of CBC, Well, it doesn’t take a lot to cause a maelstrom in Montreal and Allan Walsh’s twitter sure accomplished that on Saturday night. In case you missed it, after the loss to Tampa, Walsh pointed out Price is 10-32 in his last 42 starts.

The players are widely indifferent, but those that are plugged...
