He's supposed to make a full recovery.
I don't think Steve Yzerman would make a very good coach.

he broke the eye socket in 4 places...underwent hours of surgery and should make a full recovery...

Im interested in finding out why you dont think he would make a good coach...Hell Joey Kocur is an assistant with us right now.

He seems to have a good mind for the game....what makes granato or sutter more qualyfied...they had to start somewhere?

probably better than quinn...

honestly...he keeps in people who have been playing like shit...antropav...berg etc..and sits francis and johannason...and he broke up our best line in a do or die game...

I don't know I just don;'t see him as a coach. hes a leader on the ice, but on teh bench I don't think hes right for the job. Granato fucking sucks as a coach and sutter was a leader, but he wasn't an all star. Maybe if you've got yzerman as a coach some things don't work because he can't relate as well or the team plays diferently under him because of who he is. Sutter was just a regular player, who was a leader and stood up on the team.

Anyway, I've never met yzerman, so truthfully i don't know if hes coach material. If you ask the red wings i guess they could tell you.

I didn't make them, but I thought they were pretty good.

On a tour of Florida, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in the Popemobile when there was a frantic commotion just off shore. A helpless man, wearing a Detroit Red Wings jersey, was struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25-foot shark.

As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat came racing up with three men wearing Calgary Flames jerseys aboard. One quickly fired a harpoon into the shark's side. The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Red Wings fan from the water. Then using baseball bats, the three heroes in Calgary jerseys beat the shark to death and hauled it into the boat also.

Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to the beach.
"I give you my blessing for your brave actions," he told them. "I heard that there was some bitter hatred between Redwing and Flames fans, but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not the truth."

As the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked his buddies
"Who was that?"
"It was the Pope", one replied. "He is in direct contact with God and has access to all of God's wisdom."

"Well," the harpooner said, "he may have access to God's wisdom, but he doesn't know much about shark fishing. How's the bait holding up?

well now fuck, i just saw on TSN on the ticker, that the Maple Leafs announced Pat Quinn will return as Head Coach next year. Looks like we will have to wait at least 2 more years for a cup, unless Quinn goes crazy and actually brings some young guys on the team oOo:

CALGARY ROUGHNECKS WIN CHAMPION'S CUP
NLL
May 7, 2004

NLL Commissioner Jim Jennings presents Roughnecks Captain Tracey
Kelusky the NLL Champion's Cup in front of a sellout crowd at the Saddledome.



The Calgary Roughnecks defeated the Buffalo Bandits, 14-11, in front of a sellout crowd of 19,209 fans at the Pengrowth Saddledome on Friday night in the National Lacrosse League Champion's Cup Final. Curtis Palidwor was named Championship Game MVP with 41 saves. The Roughnecks used a balanced attack, with nine different goal scorers, including four defensemen. Lewis Ratcliffe scored three goals and added an assist to lead the Roughnecks, while Jesse Phillips also added a hat-trick, including the game-winning goal.

The sellout crowd certainly played a factor, as the Roughnecks won their first-ever Championship in only their third season. The win also marked a first in Calgary professional sports history; the Roughnecks were the first team to win a Championship while playing at home in Calgary.

Ted Dowling scored two goals and two assists in his final NLL game. Dowling and Tyson Leies (2A) announced they will retire after this season.

Kaleb Toth (1G, 4A), Kyle Goundrey (1G, 2A), Tracey Kelusky (1G, 1A), Grant Hamilton (1G), Brad MacArthur (1G) and Andrew McBride (1G) each scored a goal apiece for Calgary. MacArthur and Rob Kirkby dominated in the faceoff circle, winning 20 of 29 draws.

Buffalo was led by John Tavares (3G, 3A) and Mike Accursi (3G, 1A). Jason Crosbie was Buffalo's playmaker, recording four assists. Pat McCready scored two goals, both on breakaways, while Mark Steenhuis (1G, 2A), Neal Powless (1G, 1A), and Jonas Derks (1G) added singles for Buffalo. Steve Dietrich was impressive in goal, recording 45 saves.

Buffalo jumped out to an early lead, with a pair of power-play goals early in the game. John Tavares scored the first goal of the game only 51 seconds in, and Mike Accursi followed it up to put the Bandits up 2-0. Ted Dowling put Calgary on the board with an outside shot, however, Buffalo answered back with another pair of goals to make the score 4-1. Steenhuis dove through the crease to score, and Neal Powless beat Palidwor with the outside shot to close out the first quarter.

The second quarter was a different story, as the Roughnecks scored six consecutive goals to take command of the game. Ted Dowling started the barrage with a power-play marker, and Lewis Ratcliff scored two straight to tie the game at four. Jesse Phillips gave the Roughnecks their first lead of the game with a breakaway goal, putting Calgary up 5-4. Kyle Goundrey scored on a rebound, and Kaleb Toth scored Calgary's third power-play goal of the game to make the score 7-4. John Tavares cut the score to 7-5 at the half with an outside shot, but Calgary clearly dominated the quarter, outscoring Buffalo 6-1.

The Roughnecks came out of the locker room on fire. Veteran defensemen Grant Hamilton and Brad MacArthur scored to put the Roughnecks up 9-4, but Buffalo was able to capitalize on a 5-on-3 power play, as Mike Accursi put the ball past Palidwor. Andrew McBride scored from the defensive end, and Lewis Ratcliff followed it up by powering past the Bandits defense to complete his hat-trick. Pat McCready cut the Roughnecks lead to 11-7 with a breakaway goal with eight seconds remaining in the quarter.

Buffalo started the fourth quarter determined, with Mike Accursi, Jonas Derks and Pat McCready each scoring to cut the lead to 11-10. However, Jesse Phillips answered back, scoring the eventual game-winner, as the ball trickled past Dietrich to make the score 12-10. John Tavares cut the lead back to a goal with a goal with 3:10 remaining, but Tracey Kelusky answered back with a goal only 34 seconds later. Calgary was able to run out the clock, and Jesse Phillips completed his hat-trick with an empty net goal with 3.8 seconds remaining to bring the 19,209 fans to their feet at the Saddledome.

==========================

What a fucking awesome game. Crowd was nuts. I've been to probably 15 roughnecks games over the past 3 years and its never been this loud or this crazy, (for obvious reasons). Absolutley insane. Best game i've ever been to. A thriller to say the least. The Rock Dynasty is over. Say hello to the Roughnecks.
