Bah, Life goes on. Emery goes this summer, so does Redden, maybe Spezza, and next year is a fresh start.
I still say that the lame Spartan from the Game three jinxed the team...

Tough old bastards rule
Canada's Chuck Norris?
Kim Robinson, the man who caught triple child-slaying suspect Allan Schoenborn, is a hunter and dog breeder from BC. The Ontario-born Robinson, 51, lived 30 years in Merritt, working at logging and as a hunting guide. He owns two traplines in the area, and keeps a dozen hounds for hunting big game.
I watched him interviewed on TV… what a character. He’s a hard-bitten throwback… not so much Chuck Norris, but more like a Canadian Lee Marvin or John Wayne, with a hint of Don Cherry for good measure.Here's some of what he had to say about his encounter with the half-starved Schoenborn:
"I got a lot of friends out there. Some think I'm a good guy, some think I'm an outlaw"
"It wasn't a matter really of wanting to take it on. Right now I'm not doing anything. I have the wherewithal. I got a four-wheel-drive truck. I got dogs I'm used to listening to,"
"I'm not working right now. I had time on my hands. I wasn't worried about bumping into the guy or getting lost in the woods."
"He didn't 'survive.' He looked like anyone else who had gone for 10 days with no food and was too stupid to drink."
"He said, 'Are you going to kill me?' I said, 'No, but I will if I have to.'
"I'm 240 pounds and I've done hard shit all my life."
"I did thump his dog once when he was trying to bite me, but I did not hurt him. I was just trying to let him know that I was not the right guy to try and bite,"
"I thought he was some kind of drug addict. I even asked him that, 'What kind of dope are you on that has peeled all your meat off you?'"
"I'm glad it's over. It was a shitty mess. Not a positive thing about it."
A fiercely individualistic, self-sufficent, coarse, eminently quotable mountain n(of a) man is Mr. Robinson!
