I love people who write about the Caps that never watch them play. I would love to lock up Semin long-term for $7 mil/year.

how does Carcillo get 2 games for punching someone ready to fight and Avery doesnt get anything for suckerpunching a guy looking away?

rangers are pussies

I'm convinced Lambert doesn't actually watch any hockey, at all.

[Callisto]

So uh, hey Colin Campbell

For whatever reason this wouldn't open at my work, assuming it's the same as what PD just posted: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puc...urn=nhl-285531

and hoooooooly shit

[Bregor]

Yeah I just read this on PD too, love the shit about refs who call penalties on Campbell's son, lol.

Not a huge surprise but maybe it'll snowball into Campbell being relieved of his duties.

[Callisto]

I think PD's correct that it's not really going to do much, not that it doesn't warrant firing but I can't think of anyone who is available and suited for the position and you can be sure that Bettman sure as hell doesn't want to take on one more responsibility he can get bitched at for.

[Callisto]

It's absolutely ridiculous that he holds this sort of position and acts like a drunk AAA-midget dad, swearing at refs and starting fights with the coach for not giving his kid enough ice time

I think this thread can do a better job. Can we form our own disciplinary company? Dream Big Industries©

Uh wow! That's pretty damning evidence against him but I doubt the NHL will do anything.

[Bregor]

Isle first to fire head coach, I was really hoping it'd be New Jersey...

[Callisto]

Wow...that's pretty horseshit, feel bad for the guy. Get handed a salary-floor team with its captain/best player seriously injured and its second best player banged up and off to a slow start, then get canned because they don't win...

[Thoronas]

I can only pray this gets picked up by mainstream hockey media and they blow this out of proportion. That's the only way I see anything happening to Campbell.

Guessing it won't make the news section of NHL.com, lol. Hopefully TSN or ESPN.com runs with it.

Yeah, reminds me of what Tampa did to Melrose a few years back. What did they expect, exactly? You're not going to score many goals with that lineup.

The Islanders coach firing is already overtaking the story. Kinda sad but not unexpected. I think the only thing to come out of the Colin Campbell story is the players are going to have some serious ammo to use against his son.

[Callisto]

Watching the NHL Live radio show a bit while I'm lunch, wondering if there's a complete gag order about the situation for them.

[Ivaden]

Requesting Isladar to take over Campbell's position.

[Callisto]

I think the CBA specifically protects players from having thier shins obliterated by high-heeled boots in lieu of suspensions.

[Bregor]

Need to find high-heel boots with skate blades. On-ice discipline for anyone attempting to hit Pat Sharp in his beautiful face.

Damnit, I just changed my sig to something I like and I come across this:
