"He couldn’t believe the rage I had, not only in attacking him, but it took two (linesmen) to restrain me afterwards and throw me in the penalty box."
Brendan Shanahan, recounting an awesome story which shows he remembers everything. So maybe he'll be a fair judge of league discipline (via Deadspin).

Washington Capitals 10 Greatest Games, on video soon(?)

I've been told that Warner Home Video will be releasing the Caps' 10 Greatest Games collection on DVD on March 23, and I feel slightly uneasy about such a release. Why? Simply put, while similarly released collections have games that should have been included and weren't, I feel like such a release for this team, right now, would be unnecessary.

A little while ago, some fool mused on the firing of NHL Players' Association Director Paul Kelly and the possible impact it would have on a lockout/strike after the 2010-11 season. At the time, I mused that League General Counsel (and interim Director) Ian Penny, union ombudsman Buzz Hargrove and former ombudsman Eric Lindros "should be given a short leash to work with," but if you had odds on what happened next, you'd be a rich man. More after the jump.

Coach's Corner, 10/24/09. Skip to around the 5:00 mark for the relevant comments. Honestly, Ron McLean's comments were more harsh than Cherry's, but that's my $.02.
Better or worse than Mites on Ice?
The NHLPA may want to rethink its vetting process.
It would be funny if I could stop shaking my head in disbelief.

"If players are pissed off, maybe they'll start getting involved."
Oilers player rep/NHLPA executive board member Shawn Horcoff, hopefully sounding a message other player reps have relayed to their fellow players in the days and weeks following Executive Director Paul Kelly's dismissal (Dreger).
