"False, Wrong, Bogus, Incorrect and Bullspit."
Maybe They Should Move To Toronto
Down in Miami The coach/GM of the Panthers has a bone to pick with the South Florida media. Rick Dudley wants his young players to ignore all the negative newspaper coverage. "I can't control what's in the press, but I can control what's in the dressing room,'' Dudley tells the Miami Herald.

The Streak That Wasn't
It's about time somebody had a go at this.

"We keep hearing that our beloved Centre-of-the-Universe Leafs had a 16-game point streak snapped with a 3-1 loss to the Isles Saturday," says Hyperbolic Jack. "False, wrong, bogus, incorrect and bullspit." Well, it maybe bogus and bullspit, but it's not false or wrong. Thanks to the loser point, the Maple Leafs really did scrounge at least one point from 16 straight. Otherwise, he makes a worthwhile argument.
