Ye Olde Carrot & Hockey Stick

Friday, July 28th, 2006

Make it stop …
(Backgroud: Taking a chapter out of the Lindros history book, but changing only key names, names of physicians and dates and places:)
Dangle the Primeau carrot for a few more weeks while we collect and sell those season ticket packages … make sure to get the news media all there for his first […]

Gotta Feel for Blackhawks fans.

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

Damn, you think you’re team management is dysfunctional?
Try an entire city of hockey fans with no team to watch on TV and an owner that likely will be bludgeoned to death before it’s all over. Bill Wirtz’s only saving grace is that no one might care enough to beat his ass silly at this point.
Chicago […]

Change of Hart

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

Well, hell.
Coach Don and some others have been on Bully lately to get off my high horse about the Flyers and NHL. I appreciate all the input and have thought things through. A previous post on the blog said i was going to change the name of the site for a number of reasons.
I was […]

Pat myself on the back

Monday, July 24th, 2006

(Note to frequent readers tha know Bully doesn’t like to blow his own horn: This is more for the programming guys considering Bully for his own uncensored sat. radio show, than for anyone else but)
Bully got another one right.
Reported widely today that Recchi is a Penguin … again. I wrote this in the blog 2 […]

Primeau is Done

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

From my ears to your eyes: Folks in the know tell me that Primeau has put such a tight restriction on what he considers “healthy” that it is likely he may never play again. Many players can play with slight symptons but because of his promises to his wife, Primeau will not train or play […]

Change is philosophy … or extension of our old one …

ESPN made the 20 second sports clip a household item. Trouble is that 20 or 30 seconds really isn’t very good from an entertainment point of view.
When I started Bully, many folks said keep all clips 30 seconds in length or shorter. This was mostly because of bandwidth and all clips were free at that […]

Recchi on the move

Monday, July 10th, 2006

Back to the Penguins.
Flyers made some inquries but he told them to fuck off …
Expect him back in Pittsburgh. He does not want to re-sign with the Canes.

How long has Stevie Y been around? …

Monday, July 10th, 2006

…In his rookie year, he played on a team that included current Wings GM Ken Holland, Islanders coach Ted Nolan, NHL VP Colin Campbell, ESPN analyst Barry Melrose and Hall of Famer, Brad Park …

Gotta get some sleep

Monday, July 10th, 2006

It’s just past midnight and thought I’d throw this out there based on a call I had at 9 pm Sunday.
Well, by the time you get to work in the a.m., or soon after — expect the Red Wings to name Ed Belfour as their newest team member.
Damn, no wonder Shanahan got the hell out […]

Bank on it

Saturday, July 8th, 2006

Usually when someone tells Bully something, it turns out to be true, as long as you don’t count the time my uncle told me lawn darts were safe. Long story, short BBQ …
From the Bully’s ears to your eyes:
Brendan Shanahan will be on Broadway as a Ranger. Expect an announcement on Monday.
Tom “Poke Check” […]
