What a difference a new coach in Colorado makes, I am so proud of my buddy, Joe Sacco. I grew up playing in Boston with Joe. He has brought new life to the Pepsi Center. I do have to say I was very shocked to hear of Joe’s hiring, for I had lost touch with him after retiring and didn’t realize he was coaching in the minors, shame on me!

It’s nice to see that Rick Tocchet is teaching the Tampa Bay Lightening to compete night in night out. It is showing in the standings.

Where the Hell are the Toronto Maple Leafs? They are by far the worst team in the league right now! This surprises me because Ron Wilson is a very good coach. Jason Blake for some reason cant hit the side of the barn…its only a matter of time til he ends up in the minors. (That might wake up the rest of the team.)

Thank Goodness coach Tippett has brought some stability and structure to the talented Phoenix Coyotes, it shows that when a coach puts time and effort into their team, they get results. Hopefully the fans in Arizona will come out to support the team, because they are winning and that breeds excitement.

Nashville’s earl season Woe’s should lead to the end of one of the longest standing coaching jobs in the NHL, Barry Trotz. That’s too bad…Barry deserves better.

San Jose Sharks need to find some consistency in their play! I am shocked at their goals against average, and everyone is to blame for that! I still think they will win the West.

I love to see Sean Avery Still pissing people off in New York, I would take that bastard on my team anytime! I love him!
