I wonder what Woods thinks about WNBA Attendance Champs banners.

Bob Woods’ ideas are intriguing, and I’d like to subscribe to his newsletter.

The rafters at verizon would look very empty if Woods was behind the bench.

Or would they? Duh duh DUH!

This article had speculation that Woods might be offered the assistant coach vacancy with the Caps, so maybe that might not be too far off.

it wouldn’t surprise me at all. I know other things have been going on, but you’d think if they were looking at other guys that something would have leaked out somewhere by now. you would have to think they are looking and not just going to wait until August or something to bring in someone.

I know this is halfway a goof, but personally I’m going to cringe if I see another Southeast Division banner going up next October.

Absolutely. Unless they take down last year’s, we’ll soon see a matching pair.

what, no “first round playoff champions” banner too?

We were going to do up "Chesapeake Bay Watershed Champs" shirts a ways back.

I think we still should. Actually, division championships I don’t mind. You should be proud of winning your division. You just…shouldn’t have such a huge ceremony/make a big deal out of it. Considering both the Canes and the Caps performed so well, I think the whole perception of the “Southleast” division should be thrown out the door.

Also consider that the Lightning and the Canes have won the Cup in the last string. By no means is the SE the worst division in hockey, and I’m not going to let the Canadian media try to drill that into my skull.

I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.

I’d love to show up for opening night and see the banner already up in the rafters and not even acknowledged pre-game.

I would share that sentiment.

Same thing with Kolzig’s jersey?

by Stormblue on Jun 15, 2009 5:26 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I’d want to be there for a ceremony for Kolzig. In my opinion, him and Bondra deserve it. I know not everyone shares that opinion, but…yeah.

It’s a little disappointing for the Patrick Division banner, which sort of means something, to get outnumbered by the Southeast Division banners, which really don’t.

The guys who were on the ice during last year’s raising looked like they didn’t want to be there. This year, there will be a lot of “equipment repairs” keeping them in the locker room.

If you've read this far...seek help.
