And the winner is:
The Tampa Bay Lightning
(Despite today's news)
Ah, but those ice girls sure are nice...
They fired a winning, albeit gruff, coach to satisfy their petulant star. That same star has such a massive contract that it makes it hard to find adequate teammates, and also makes unloading that player through a trade nearly impossible.
Did we mention coaching? Let's not forget that the Lightning management hired Barry Melrose for some unknown reason, and then, in a classic dick move, fired him after 16 games. It almost seems as if Tampa Bay's management suffers from split-personality disorder...
Bad management like this starts all the way at the top and trickles on down. The owners can't agree on what the hell to do, and Gary Bettman(!) has even told Len Barrie "Show me the Money!" and prove that he is capable of co-owning an NHL team. Ah, so that explains the split-personality. The Lightning have three different people calling the shots: Len Barrie, Oren Koules, and Vincent Lecavalier.
Don't think for a minute, though, that the New York Islanders are not a CLOSE second. We really do need to give them an honourable mention for having three starting goalies now. Rick DiPietro, Dwayne Roloson, and now, Martin Biron. Absolutely baffling.

I LOL yesterday when I saw the Isles signed Biron. He's just as dumb for signing there! Why the hell is Garth Snow still the GM there? All this joke of a franchise needs now is to bring back the fishsticks uniforms.
