how timely…

Hyphens cause writers more trouble than any other form of punctuation, except perhaps commas.

Always was a big Sacco fan – gotta love the grinders. I wish him the best of luck out in Colorado.

I have as many wins in a Capitals uniform as Michael Belhumeur does.

wtf? Zettler got the job with Wilson over Sacco?

Zettler’s been following Wilson from job to job since he was playing here in DC for him. Tim Hunter also follows Wilson around…

Let's go Caps!

One of the worst players in strato-matic hockey history.

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

Konowalchuk, who played with Sacco with the Washington Capitals, said the new Avs coach knows only one thing: hard work.

“That’s how he lasted so long in the NHL as a player, and that’s what I think will make him a good coach,” Konowalchuk said. “He played in the minors at times as a player, and he’s worked his way up from there as a coach. He’s a guy who will work as hard as he can to make that team successful, that’s for sure.” Link

Hard to argue with that.
