A few random thoughts as the NHL season nears the one-quarter pole:

Columbus fired coach Gerard Gallant the other day. What I want to know is how does president and GM Doug MacLean keep his job? This is the Jackets' sixth season. They've never made the playoffs. Is coaching really the problem?

---------

Jeremy Roenick, one of the all-time greatest American hockey players, was a joy to behold in his prime. It's sad to watch him these days. He has a goal and three assists in 17 games for the Coyotes. Not nearly enough for the $1.2 million he's making this year.

---------

How's this for a trade that didn't work out for either team. Chicago swapped Kyle Calder to Philadelphia for Michael Handzus. Handzus is out for the season with a knee injury. Calder has zero goals and is minus 14. And the Flyers are paying him $2.95 million.

Gil played pick-up hockey with us in the 1970's along with his Son Andre'.None of us ever realized that he was as famous as he was.He was just one of the guys playing on a Friday night at the Smithfield Ice Rink.He was still wearing an original Pittsburg Hornets jersey!!
