Mr. Avery has besmirched the reputation of all NHL players, coaches, general managers and owners who, collectively, have been successful in providing a more entertaining game for our fans.

We won't go on forever dumping money into this team. We need a market rate lease or a lease comparable to what other minor league hockey teams are paying in the WHL.

If a big call is made in the last 30 seconds or five minutes of a game, if there's a call made that keeps a team out of the playoffs or knocks them out of the first round, and it starts costing teams money, that'll be the litmus test,

But this is going to stay for a while. We can't get lax this time.

But this time, because of the lockout, we had the whole year to sink our teeth into it. We discussed it with players, coaches, refs and managers, and this was (the edict) to come down.

He went way beyond the limits. He was going for the player's eye. He did damage to the guy's eye. That wasn't a punch, he was trying to grab the player's eye with his thumb - after he speared him first. And he's a repeat offender.

He was very soft, sweet and he gave Diana all the attention she lusted after,

I find it quite disturbing and also surprising that in the legal world of all places redress is denied.

Our game reports are not for public dissemination and particularly not for politicians who may be using this whole disjointed affair to seemingly garner votes.

We'll be focusing on rules changes that have been brought forth over the last year and a half. We understand certain changes have to be made, but we don't want knee-jerk solutions. We don't think the game is as bad on the ice as some people make it out to be. That's a side effect of our problems off the ice. But we do understand some changes have to be made.

With the rule changes that the league has adopted for the upcoming season, we believe that Stephen is ideally suited to provide direction and guidance to our on-ice officials. His judgment and professionalism on the ice, coupled with the respect he has earned as one of the top officials in the game, will be of great benefit in his transition to the officiating management ranks.

We knew this would happen because players are competitive and they do what they have to do to win the game. So this is how the players and the managers have asked us to do handle it.

We do not have to wait until September to elect a new vice-president.

As this poster makes abundantly clear, we've already consumed about half of the world's total endowment of regular conventional oil. This has provided most supply to-date and will dominate all supply far into the future. We are now entering the second half of the Oil Age, and face the relentless decline of production, imposed by nature.

The wonderful thing is that you can pretty well say that while no two Bermudians are alike, they're quite house-proud and garden-proud. People really like to keep the old spit-and-polish going.

We're going to be hearing it from players and coaches,

It's going to be like: 'Enough is enough. Shut up,'

I definitely didn't know that the major corporations, like Fox and CNN, were seen as either left or right. The information is more important or applicable around elections. I'll definitely look at reporting companies to see the difference in bias then.

I can understand why this always went away in November and December. The pressure is there to make it go away now. And we don't want it to go away. That's why we're hitting it head-on with the managers. If we don't stay the course, we're in trouble. We've made a commitment and we have to stay the course.
