from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- Don’t know what it is about American hockey coaches but there is this condescending arrogance that comes with Ron Wilson, John Tortorella and Peter Laviolette that somehow Dan Bylsma missed out on.

- If the Calgary Flames are going to move Jarome Iginla and not move goalie, Miikka Kiprusoff, what’s the point? I know it goes against ownership views, which seem rather pointless to me, but they should go hard after a top three draft pick this year and finally begin the process of rebuilding.

- Why doesn’t Steve Yzerman fire his hated coach Guy Boucher in Tampa and replace him with either Lindy Ruff or Jon Cooper?
