At home tomorrow vs Vancouver; the LBC Game Thread tells Benji we're his grandpa at 7
Did you know?
13 years ago today, the Cats and Nucks played to a 1-1 tie in Vancouver; Sean Burke was in net for FLA, stopping 23 shots.
On the table:
Scotty Bowman: "Of all the guys I ever coached, [Mikael Samuelsson] might have been the most upbeat, friendly person of all."...Great stuff from OTF regarding how coaches utilize their players...the Sunday Rumor Roundup via Spector...Mirtle explores why more Americans than ever before are breaking into the NHL...Sportsnet's Mark Spector (no relation to the above): "If there is a perfect system, then why have we not received the release from the NHLPA outlining it? We'd love to see a realignment that has no flaws, Donald [Fehr], but unions tend to spend more time spotting problems in the process than solving them."...THN's Kennedy thinks we should all relax before blowing up the Ducks...Still no word on David Booth, but Florida could be facing former prospect Mike Duco on Monday...Skille and Upshall were on practice ice this morning in non-contact sweaters.
