An update on ex- Colorado Avalanche player, Theo Fleury's, fight against Graham James. If you haven't read it his book, it's stunningly painful. As is Sheldon Kennedy's.
Retired NHL star Theoren Fleury says it's common sense that his junior hockey coach should get jail time for sexually abusing him when he was a teenage player.
But Fleury also says he's already moved on — no matter what happens to Graham James in court.
James is to appear at a sentencing hearing in Winnipeg on Wednesday. He pleaded guilty via video link in December to repeated sexual assaults against two former junior players: one of them Fleury and another who cannot be named because of a court-ordered publication ban.
The Crown and defence will make their sentence recommendations. The hearing will also allow the victims to be heard.
Cameron Gaunce 's brother is getting some NHL.com love.
Gaunce, who said he tries to model his game after Selke Trophy finalist Jordan Staal of the Pittsburgh Penguins, said he takes as much pride in preventing goals as he does in scoring them.
"That's one thing I learned from a young age from a couple coaches," Gaunce said. "If you can't play defense you're not going to play in the NHL."
Also helping Gaunce learn lessons like that has been his older brother, Cameron, a Colorado Avalanche prospect currently playing with the club's AHL affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters.
An article on how athletes need a back-up plan for when they retire.
"He said when you’re finished playing hockey, either stay in the game or completely break away from it. Pull yourself away from the game for two or three years and get some other career going and build confidence in it, then you can come back to hockey if you want," Kirton said. "Where a lot of guys get into trouble is they get caught with one foot dragging back into the game and the other into a new career and they never fulfill that new career.
"You do need to have something to fall back on, although the money pro athletes make these days makes it a bit easier when it’s over. But if I didn’t have real estate, I wouldn’t have a clue as to what I would be doing now."

2011-12 Colorado Avalanche: Ruling the East, but bending over for the Northwest
I can’t even imagine what the Avs would offer. Quincey and Giguere?
A man who stole my whisky used the defense that no one could resist a bottle of Scotch. I had no choice but to testify on his behalf.
Trading Giguere would be a mistake. I understand the draw, and I don’t want Giggy becoming a defacto goalie coach. At the same time, having him in place to spell Varly during his bad streaks has this team still on the bubble of a playoff spot
2011-12 Colorado Avalanche: Ruling the East, but bending over for the Northwest
Agreed, which is why I cannot for the life of me figure out what the Avs could offer. Fantastical speculation though it is, I would be curious to know.
Then again, I never thought Sherman could get Johnson from St. Louis.

Pierre LaCroix hates trade ‘whispers’. I’ve learned in my time as an Avs fan is that if there’s a rumor, then it simply isn’t true.
I actually think some of the rumors that get tossed around are true to a degree but they always, always come from the other end of the deal (the other team’s side). When that happens, I’m pretty sure Pierre says the deal is off. He hates public trade speculation.
The only deal that ever got rumored at all and actually happened on the Avs side was Liles getting delt. But, that was an ongoing meme in trade rumors for three years running. It was like betting on black for 10 rounds of roulette, eventually it was just going to happen.
So trade speculation for other players available in other markets is probably accurate, I have serious doubts that the Avs players “in play” has any confirmation from Avs sources. Pierre is just the kind of guy to deal Varlamov, Hejda and O’Reilly to Columbus for Nash and a 1st. Totally unexpected, painfull, yet…promising….
I'll keep this brief.
Smyth signing as well, although that was mostly speculation I think

Right. Free agent stuff is a little different. Pierre hasn’t signed many big free agents but when he has it’s been the whole package deal (Smyth/Hannan, Kariya/Selanne). That’s kind of a weird tendency and both did not pan out well. He has yet to target a single big free agent.
I'll keep this brief.
So, I selfishly picked this Theo pic, because I met him that day. Hahaha

Couple of things
1. Sandie – you are a lucky girl. Your FB profile pic of you and Theo is adorable – you would make a nice couple.
2. Just started reading Theo’s book and it is almost like he is chatting to you in a pub. Very easy to read, but I suspect that will change as I get further in.
3. When Theo came to play in Belfast, that was the nearest I got to meeting the only short guy (at that time) who was a success in the NHL. Height-wise, I am the same, weight-wise, I am the same as Erik Johnson.

1. A lot of people thought we were dating when I posted that pic. They didn’t believe me that we weren’t. (And thanks :) )
2. It gets a lot harder, but he is super friendly and the book has the same tone. Sheldon Kennedy’s was just as hard to read. Ron MacLean’s memoirs is a lot like Theo’s in the sense of it’s like you were sitting in an pub and exchanging hockey stories.
3. Jeez, you make him sound tiny!

I am curious, not that I disagree, why you hate stretch pants?
A man who stole my whisky used the defense that no one could resist a bottle of Scotch. I had no choice but to testify on his behalf.
Because there is this tendency of girls that are too big, wearing stretch pants that are too small…and then wearing a shirt too small to keep things hidden that should be hidden.
By that same token I am not a fan of wannabe Lance Armstrong bikers that think spandex solves their aerodynamic issues.

TIL that American babies take in too much lactose. It eventually makes them crave sugar throughout there life. Thereby making them fat and thereby placing stretch pants on your societal doom list. So really, lactose is the hidden culprit here. Chiavs hates boobs.

So after much effort
It was Duchene, Statsny, Hejduk, Johnson, Mueller, O’Reilly and Landeskog.
I thought that was a lot. The woman walking around and asked if I needed help. I mentioned how many Avs jerseys there were. She said the display ordrers come down from the NHL front office. She said there were only two teams with more players jerseys. I was blown away. Totally blow away. So:
Which two teams have more?

I’m in Montana, but I’m still “In Market”, so GCL is blacked out.
If they lifted that restriction, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

At exactly what point do you start to realize that life without knowledge is death in disguise?
Same :( Luckily I still know a site. Not that I’m allowed to share, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to watch the game.

Congrats!
That’s dedication. I just comment here like I’m regular even though I’m not. Reading is way easier than typing…sometimes.
There’s a joke here. I know there is.

Maybe something about how I unintentionally failed to properly type that sentence and then made a comment about typing being difficult immediately afterwards?

Chambers on Giguere at today’s practice…
Giguere, who injured his groin Wednesday at Vancouver, appeared to skate and take shots at full-strength…
I wasn’t aware that getting drunk could help heal your groin.
if I had that kind of goal support, I’d take shots too

In my experience it doesn’t so much heal it as makes it numb.

This is not a top 6 move, this is a make the bottom 6 tougher move.

Quincey for a middle-6’er. Probably about right.

In my rush to post this, I didn’t credit the freaking awesome Bob McKenzie, who must have a direct pipeline to the NHL.
Also, after a few years of watching him play, I’ve come to the opinion that Kyle Quincey doesn’t have the highest hockey IQ in the world.

Damn Western Conference….
Coyotes score with 2:37 left in the game to tie the Kings….going to OT (3pt game)
Dallas shuts out Montreal
Edmonton did spank Calgary 6-1
Anaheim lost to Tampa 3-2
Datsyuk may have done it first, but he learned it from Peter Forsberg.
Thanks for everything Foppa!
