Helps if you play this soundtrack in the background while watching the above video.

Did just as you suggested. Very nice pairing.

If they hire PIerre McGguire (anyone else find the French first name/Scottish last name pairing really odd?), how is he still going to ride Crosby's jock while being GM of another team?

I'm sure this will show up in Home ice but wow

On an unrelated note, the Canadian network SportsNet reported this morning that the Montreal Canadiens are interested in talking to Luc Robitaille about their vacant general manager position. A Kings source said that the team is not yet giving permission for other teams to talk to their employees about positions for next season. Then, of course, there would have to be mutual interest as well.

[UPDATE: Tim Leiweke said in an email that the Canadiens ``have asked us for permission to talk to several executives with the Kings,'' but that such discussions won't take place now.]

I saw this one coming and why not? Luc knows the business, he knows hockey, he's from the area, he speaks French. Hopefully he would say no, but I can understand why they would want him.

Not that any GM that takes the Montreal job can have it end well, but this reeks of bad idea.
