But far be it to take aim from my glass house at former Winnipeg-man Randy Carlyle. Disney clearly wants a hockey team, and they've at least had the decency to bring in talent <I>with heart</I>.<BR/><BR/>Which is what my man Alfredson has in spades. Look, this is a guy who's been subjected to the worst the League <I>and</I> the city of Ottawa could dish out, and year after year he's been the one player who's played as if he wanted that cup. And now he says he's seriously thinking of making Ottawa his official home - there's a <I>mensch</I>, I say.<BR/><BR/><B>TR</B> - do you mean Brett as in, "the guy who will pull the team through to a championship win" <I>a la</I> Alfredson? If so, then I'm afraid the search is on, because the last eligible man for that task was Domi.<BR/><BR/>Yep, you read that right.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-51388119156529343062007-05-23T17:58:00.000-04:002007-05-23T17:58:00.000-04:00DV - To think of it, if Lou can put together a new...<STRONG>DV</STRONG> - To think of it, if Lou can put together a new-NHL dominating team it would be quite a coup for New Jersey!

This hsould be a great series, although I did have a soft spot for the Buffaloes to be playing instead of the Sens. But, this year, Ottawa truly deserves to be in the finals and I hope Daniel Alfredsson has a greeat series. A classy and solid player; he deserves a day with the Cup.DarkoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572734667248592785noreply@blogger.com
