Gauthier a genius? Discuss...

Maybe he is after all. There's the roll of the dice that wins you a million.

KHL reporting that defenseman Kulyash broke Chara's hardest shot record of 105.9 mph with a 110.3 mph blast at the KHL Skills Competition.

Wow.

Wonder if they "tweaked" their gun to ensure a higher score than the NHL.

Hmmmm.... conspiracy theories!!!!

Anyone see Leafs forward Darryl Boyce Cuss up his nose on Friday night?

Pretty crazy. He hit that hole in the glass that the photograher's use to get clear shots. Wonder if this will make them re-think those...

He tweeted about it:

Impressive to see him in the game tonight all sewn up with a full mask.

Big overhaul at Versus:

McGuire will join their team as one of the "inside the glass" reporters. Does that mean he'll ditch his TSN gig? Who knows. They'll be using more former players instead of TV talent.

That is horrible, his nose is falling off.

Flöppa returns!

Forsberg decides to play for Avalanche http://twitter.com/adater

Can't wait to see him on the IR ice.

I'm stoked. Forsberg is one of my favourite players of all time! Still have his jersey.

How soon until he's out with a foot injury?

5 games?

Very excited to see Foppa play - not so excited to see him humbled and injured again, but I think he can do it.

Good for them, they needed to make it more authentic, it wasn't good enough before.

If McGuire's pursuing another broadcasting gig, I guess that would quash any GM talks.

When will Forsberg make his return?

I don't think it changes much because NBC and Versus are owned by the same company now.

I dunno...apparently he wants a GM position badly. Perhaps he was told 'no' by Melnyk?
