Congrats to the Canes. I can forgive them for being the team formerly known as the Whalers because Pete Laviolette is at the helm. Speaking of Laviolette, the papers are making a big issue about how his contract is up and the Bruins are interested.

Of course they are.

Unfortunately, I don't think the feeling is mutual. Not to say that he's harboring any ill will towards the B's, but let's face it- why would he leave carolina? Why would Carolina just let him walk away after he brought the team to a Stanley Cup?

Let's not forget, they already had a chance to make him head coach a couple years ago and decided not to. Anyway, I guess it just struck me as funny that the rumor took hold like it did. My prediction? Not gonna happen.

And Sullivan is supposed to find out today or tomorrow if he's still employed by the Bruins. Supposedly.

Oh, and the draft is Saturday.

There's never a dull moment in black and gold country.
