Can you not see and simply admit that you made an awful, terribly misguided analysis that this team is nothing close to your putting their championship chances as “High” (that you’ve noted in the past)?

I have touched on this in previous mailbags, but I did not find Adam Oates all that pleasant to deal with and, from what I've heard from players and other people within the organization, neither did anyone else.

Phillip Martin writes: I’ve read reports that the speedy Axel Jonsson-Fjallby might be NHL ready and is a good penalty killer who could compliment Lars Eller’s style of play.

It is pretty incredible to be considered a colleague of Joe Beninati, Craig Laughlin and Al Koken because I watched those guys on TV.

My wife and I were actually introduced at our wedding to that song, but you're not supposed to use that anymore because Gary Glitter is...not a good person (Google him).

The entire song is six minutes long and magnificently ridiculous, but really the only part you need to hear is the glorious crescendo (preceded by a whistling solo) of a cowboy frantically shrieking in the sky.
