I think Anderson needs to do this. Why the hell not?

Dude, Weak

So I'm recording the game last night on the TiVo to watch when I get home. It's sometime in the middle of the third period, so I rewind to the start of the game and I see this on my screen:

Sure, it is the preview of Center Ice, but that's pretty weak. I was able to join the game about 1 hour behind 'live'. That's pretty lame NHL & TiVo.

Also, with the TiVo I've got cable cards so buying Center Ice isn't an option (only have 1-way cards around here). Seeing this just makes me even "happier" I will be saving $160 bucks again this year.

Rumor says Roy offered coaching job

StructuralPoke — Mon, 18 May 2009 13:43:57 -0000

From Rotoworld via the Denver post:

According to several sources close to him, Patrick Roy has been offered the head coaching job of the Colorado Avalanche.
He is said to be mulling over the organization's offer. The Avalanche and Roy are remaining fairly tight-lipped about the process though and neither have commented on the situation since Roy left Colorado after their meeting with president Pierre Lacroix almost two weeks ago. Currently the coach of the team is still Tony Granato, but if this rumor is true he may not be for much longer. Stay tuned.

I'm not sure how I feel about this

Coach or GM or Captain

I haven't seen anyone post this yet (but that might be that I just haven't been keeping up with the threads as much or as often, but whatever) -- What would you guys think of Super Joe being our new GM or new coach (should the 'need' arise)? Would this be more of the same "clinging to the past"? I would think he could be a good coach with his reputation of being a good leader, but I'm turned off by no experience.

Just a passing thought I had when I remembered that we would "know his plans sooner" this year...

apparently if I see a funny hockey related video, I feel it is my obligation to share....

Via Rotoworld, Via Denver post:

The headline at Roto is what we have all come to believe: "Tucker has been a major bust in Colorado"

This season has been disappointing for Darcy Tucker.
"This year's been a tough year personally," he said. "But all you can do is work every day; just come to the rink and try to have each day get better." The veteran inked a two-year, $4.5 million contract this past summer with Colorado after being bought out by Toronto. He was brought in to help ease the loss of Andrew Brunette to free agency, but has been ice cold offensively. Tucker has generated a meager eight goals and six assists in 56 games to go along with a minus-13 rating. He has been playing with Ian Laperriere and Ben Guite of late and has scored goals in consecutive games in an attempt to salvage his year, but it appears to be too little too late.

That's the deep-digging reporting we have all come to love.
