from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
It’s highly unlikely Patrick Roy will end up involved with the Montreal Canadians in any capacity. What’s more likely is Roy’s waiting for the Phoenix Coyotes to move to Quebec, where he’ll take over as either coach, general manager or both. Word is, Roy has unofficially been on retainer from Quebec NHL interests for almost two years now.
Phil Kessel is fourth in scoring in the NHL and you have to wonder how much higher he’d be if a) he played with a real first-line centre or b) he was properly utilized on the Maple Leafs power play. Now, the fact the Leafs don’t have that key puck moving centre may be why Kessel is tied for 16th in power play scoring when he’s third in the league in even strength points. However the numbers are broken down, Kessel has performed beyond expectations on a Leaf team that hasn’t met them….

There you go Bozak. Your two wingers are in the top ten in scoring. Basically proof that you are not a real first line center.

Seattle residents haven’t been gathering together for a NHL team rally in huge numbers like Quebec City fans have been.
They also go to NHL games all over Canada and US wearing old Nordiques sweaters making their presence known.

Only rumor I hear coming out of Seattle is that the Chicago Wolves AHl owner wants to own a NHL team in Seattle but without a fanbase rabid support like Quebec City already has I don’t see it.
Habs vs Nordiques old rivalry renewed would make me happy. Line brawls and general dislike of each other made for highly entertaining games back in the day.
