Oh, they clearly got involved. The backlash is what kept him in. But they tried jumping in after it was way too late. Next year, I'll bet they try getting ahead of this. It's really hard with fan voting. When you leave it open for everyone, anyone can get in. You withhold everyone that's not a big name or second tier name, people riot. The NFL tried an "everyone is eligible" bit about seven years ago, Jamarcus Russell, arguably the biggest bust/second biggest depending on where you put Ryan Leaf, in history...he was almost voted to the game. I actually think he was and the NFL straight pulled him, because he wasn't even starting at that point, I think he had been benched for Charlie Frye or Carson Palmer. That's people for you. Mind you I still want Scott to go out there, score a hat trick, win All Star MVP, take the check and retire comfortably wherever he wants to plant roots since he won't stay in the Habs underbelly system. Speaking of which anyone watching skills tonight? Why the  is it on so late? 7pm is late? |

It's showing up on my recordings at 10. It's been on since 7. I think 10 is the replay. |

Some business guy walked up to her dad & brother on the street today & just handed them tickets to the skills competition, for free. She sent me a photo, & they are only a section over from center ice, mid way up on the lowest level. Unbelievable. |

The Maple Leafs new logo is going to be revealed this coming Tuesday. They're still called the "Maple Leafs" though so I'm not sure how far it's gonna stray from their current and past logos.

As long as their secondary logo is a picture of Mats Sundin shrugging his shoulders in a "I don't know how it got this bad" manner.

John Scott scored 2 goals in the All-Star game. Yes it was during 3-on-3 but for a guy who has 5 career goals in 285 career games and was nearly blackballed out of the All-Star game entirely, I'd say he's a winner today.

I hope Bettman died completely on the inside giving that check to Scott.

Happy medium. I'd be abusing my admin powers by making the statement, knowing I wouldn't be getting policed by anyone. You must be a better person than me. |

 The new logo for the Leafs 16-17 season didn't stray too far from their current, it's pretty much what they had in the 60's. |

And the Pens will never score a goal again after that game.

Wideman got 20 games for his hit on the ref.
