There are immature self-entitled twits in every industry.

I suppose. But in the world of sports where guys have contracts, if they sulk and are non productive they often get traded and are essentially rewarded for their immaturity. In most industries if you sulk, and don't produce you get fired.

None together.

As an aside...

Ryan Braun's 50 game suspension for elevated testosterone was reversed by a baseball arbitrator.

First ever successful challenge.

I saw that. It was due to a technicality during the process. The results of the test haven't been overturned or disproved.

According to Nick Kypreos, the Flyers are kicking tires on Steve Ott

McPhee should be fired in Washington. Hiring Dale Hunter was an inept decision. Not only is he trying to have the Caps play against their strengths, but he's benching 15-year veterans for committing dumb penalties. It's funny because Dale himself was the king of them.

He's a good faceoff guy, and he'll let you know it.

Would be interesting to see the Ott/Laviolette dynamic.

As Homer has always said, he'll always look at every available player.

That doesn't mean there's any reason to believe he'll get them.

They can put the past behind over a beverage. Oh wait do the Flyers still have "Dry Island" ?

You see guys with unjustified high opinions of themselves shuttled from high paid job to high paid job. The one thing they sell really well is themselves.

Probably nothing to that dynamic. Ott understands that Laviolette was just defending his superstar, and that will be part of Steve's job should he become a Flyer.

No need for Dry Island anymore. the team drunks were traded in June.

That is true. Maybe I'm going about things wrong. With a lot more laziness, and a terrible attitude maybe I will make Chief.

Interesting. Dont want to stir the pot but I thought they were only traded for hockey reasons? Oh well. I wish Bryzgalov well tonight.

I found the entire thing hilarious. I loved that Laviolette didn't wait for the Stars to go back to their dressing room. Loved it.

The OHL isn't an even-level playing field. The bigger markets get all the big-time prospects, especially London. That stat doesn't impress me.

And since he is part owner of the London Knights he can simply just go back to them after this season.

Agreed.

Ott would be a solid addition.

That's where he belongs. Dale was a disgrace to hockey. The fact that his number is retired in Washington just goes to show how pathetic and inept of an organization they've been for over three decades.
