This, on its own, doesn't make the league office a joke but when you simply add it on to some of the other idiocy that Bettman and his boys have been behind, then yes, it's a joke.

Pronger's back! 
And because I decided that post required a little more meat, I will link to the NHL suspension flowchart.

I love Down goes Brown.
Because this post needs more meat, and most people might be too lazy to click on a link, here's the flowchart in all its glory:
Damnit, Pronger!
In other news, winger Tomas Fleischmann is out for the season following the discovery of a blood clot in each of his lungs. This hurts the Avs, Fleischmann has 8 goals and 13 assists in the 22 games since the trade and the Avs really don't have anybody to pick that slack up.

^I'll let you have Jody Shelley from the Flyers! He's an offensive weapon, for certain.
Personally I think Mr. Neil of the Senators should get a suspension for tackling and then punching Giroux in the 3rd, but he'll probably not get anything other than the 19 PIM he got in that ridiculous 3rd period.

Apparently, they think that a spry youngster named Peter Forsberg could be the solution.
Yeah, his career 0.09 ppg average will sure fill the hole left.
What's the question? In his prime, Forsberg was one of, if not the best, players in the world. I think his prime is long past. He's tried so many things with his foot/ankle over the years, I don't think anything is going to work.
Well, as many people suspected, the Islanders have given a great, big "fuck you" to the Red Wings.
Makes me wonder if Brian Burke might approach Detroit with a deal for Giguere, but I'm not sure who the Wings have that would really fit Toronto's needs (ie, a youngish, strong two-way centre).

My bet is they'll wait out Osgood's injury. Detroit's not desperate enough to start making trades for goaltenders. Nabokov was a tantalizing prospect with Osgood out for several weeks. That said, I doubt they ever really expected him to clear waivers.
Let's home we can somehow make it.

So far it's not working out so good for Garth Snow, is it?
So far, it's not working out for Nabby, and that's about it. His fault, though. He and his agent had to have known that this was a serious possibility. New York had every right (and need) to pick him up and risked little in doing so. All the Isles have really lost is a bit of dignity, and that's saying very little these days.
Yup. I'd say that Nabakov is the one who looks like an idiot, here, more than anyone.
What did everyone think of All Star Weekend. In the interest of time and because I had a lot of thought about it, here were some posts I made on another board that I figured I can just copy and paste here.
It was typical all star game. Still, I liked the draft, and the skills competition more and like the NBA, that's really what I look forward to the most.
Also, because we have some comic book fans and I am very surprised it hasn't been brought up here, what does everyone think of Stan Lee's Guardian Project. I saw that peek today and I went from thinking it was totally lame to kind of a sense of Confusion. Then I was thinking that this isn't for me, and if it helps bring in the young fans than so be it. Still, some of the heroes didn't look very good, even though I wouldn't cross paths with the Bruin. Dang that was a great design.
Anyone actually going to buy the comic book?

^Completely agree about Subban and the Breakaway Challenge. When Ovie won I was very confused. Not that I like Subban - as a Mike Richards fan it's verbotten.
I think the draft was a fun idea.
I got a kick out of the players being micc'd up; it was completely ridiculous how they'd be talking to Cam Ward when he was handling the puck, and he was all 'I missed that, I was passing.' The defensemen were hilarious talking about how they weren't really allowed to play defense. Also weird to see a 'hockey game' without hitting and stoppages in play.
During the Guardian thing all I could think of was a thread on hfboards about the 'lamest moments in hockey' because I was certain it qualified. But who knows, little kids probably liked it.
