IT CONTINUES

The winning streak is now up to 4 games! Looks like the Speed Team (Chimmer, Manny, Parma) is paying dividends again. 2 goals for Chimera! Nash on the board, and hey, Brule on the board! Maybe the 4th line of Brule-Feds-Boll is gonna work out.

I wish I'd stayed up, now. :(

OTOH, I have tomorrow off for flying out to CT, so all signs point to staying up tonight for the Anaheim game!

Rick Tocchet can come back to the NHL, provided he keeps his nose clean.

I really wasn't sure what I'd feel about the verdict on this, but I'm OK with it. He is being held accountable, he's being made to go through substance abuse/gambling abuse treatment, and he knows that if he violates his terms (ie: does as much as a march madness bracket), he's done, permanently.

From what it sounds, with the exception of talking to "leauge members" (and that's a really hard condition to meet when you consider he lives in the same neighborhood as Gretzky and Roenick...I mean, they could be dinging him on this because he's a member of the neighborhood association!), he's accepted his guilt, been straight with the leauge and the cops, and he stayed out of any contact with hockey, gambling, etx.

I hope he keeps straightening himself out, and that he goes back to Phoenix and being a good coach. (I don't think it's a co-incidence that the Coyotes went from a .500 club to a .150 club after he left...)
